Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt were pretty good too, I guess?

At that point of their careers sure. gently caress Isaac Bruce for religiously making GBS threads on Derrick Thomas though.

It's weird to think now but it's pretty amazing New England was able to win that game.

He got in a wreck around the same time Derrick did and claimed he threw his hands in the air and yelled Jesus Christ and that's why he was fine. He imagined DT didn't do that and that's why he was paralyzed and is now dead.

quote:

"Do you ever think about Thomas and say, 'That could be me?' " Reilly asked. Bruce said no, arguing that unlike Thomas, he had invoked Jesus' name as the car flipped.

I actually want the fever-dream scenario of the Rams and Chargers moving to LA and the Raiders going to STL (because as bad as the Dome is, it isn't leaking raw sewage into the locker rooms) to come true.

Mostly because I want to see how the Best Fans In Baseball will try and emulate the Black Hole, and I've always wanted my team's owner to have a genuinely terrible haircut like Mark Davis.

Magic Johnson seems like a candidate. I wonder how that's all going to shake out. AL (pbuh), didn't own a majority stake iirc. He took control with some boardroom shenanigans. If a chunk is sold off, I wonder if the controlling relationship would change.

Almost certainly. Mark owns something like 40% now, which is majority but not by a lot. It's supposedly some mystery billionaire who is looking to become majority owner.
