| Back In the Day... Michael Jordan was a basketball god. Reebok Pumps were cool. The NBA was filled with great rivalries. Ken Griffey, Jr. was the next “greatest” baseball player. Tecmo Bowl was the shiznit. Triple-figure scores were common in basketball. Notre Dame dominated college football. The Niners were a dynasty. “Bo Knows.” 50+ goal scorers in hockey was the norm. Fantasy football was for geeks. (Maybe it still is  )Hitting 35 homeruns in baseball was considered a great season. The NBA Slam Dunk contest was cool. Darryl Strawberry, Eric Davis, and Doc Gooden were the greatest “should-have-beens.” Continue.  __________________ "Government, even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one." | |||

| Back in the day.... -Shawn Kemp wasn't fat and didn't have 50 children. And highlights of Payton to Kemp were a must-see. Payton would throw it up and the Reign Man would throw it down. -There was nothing wrong with short shorts, until Michigan's Fab Five put it out of fashion.  I wouldn't be caught dead in shorts that short! -NBA Inside Stuff with Ahmad Rashad and Willow Bay was the show! -Mike Tyson was the most feared fighter in boxing. -$1 million a year was considered alot of money. -The Dream Team was actually good. -I believed Pete Rose (that lying bastard!). -The Miami Dolphins made Hootie and the Blowfish cry (made me cry too when they always lost to the Bills). Remember that song, Only Wanna Be With You? Sing it: "You and me We come from different worlds You like to laugh at me When I look at other girls Sometimes you're crazy And you wonder why I'm such a baby Cause the Dolphins make me cry Well there's nothing I can do I only wanna be with yooooooooou!!!" __________________ I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death. -Nas | |||

| Great mentions! Keep them coming. Back in the day.... Baseball cards were put in the spokes of bicycles to give it that motorcycle sound. If you did that today, you would be considered nuts! Larry Johnson was best known as Grandmama!  Electric football was the bomb-diggity!  Zubaz pants were considered a fashion statement.  What were they thinking?  As Mars Blackmon said, it had to be the shoes! __________________ "Government, even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one." | |||

| Wow, what very happened to Larry Johnson? It's like he fell off the face of the earth. __________________ "If you can't beat these stiffs, you shouldn't be playing basketball."-Doug Moe, former head coach of the Denver Nuggets | |||

Barry Sanders was making jaws drop, Icky Woods was doin' the Shuffle, Craig Hodges couldn't miss, Bonds and McGwire were skinny little homerun hitters. __________________ "I am way curious as to how a Best Rapper Alive contest can include the likes of Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em, Shawty Lo and Flo Rida, but not list lyrical geniuses Rakim, MC Lyte, Chuck D, KRS-One or Slick Rick."

| Penny Hardaway was a Puppet everywhere. You were in awe of watching Larry Bird and Magic Johnson playing on the court, instead of coaching. When Canada would regularily win the Stanley Cup. When the only hockey cities were the ones where kids played road hockey growing up and it snowed. Michael Jordan wore a red uniform instead of a blue one. __________________ Sarah Callie  Erica"Lets make some LSD" ~ Walter Bishop | |||
