Damn. Lots of folks today.
Dikembe Mutombo. He was such a good dude. He also made me think back on Jarvis stuffing the shit out of Scotty Hopson in the SECT, lol, remembering how the TV guy immediately mentioned Mutombo.
And John Ashton, of Beverly Hills Cop and Midnight Run (one of the funniest movies ever), also passed today.
RIP Charlie Hustle
The world is a little dimmer today. RIP.
Now can he get into the HOF??
One of the reasons I soured on MLB the last 20 years and quit watching.Quote:

Steroids in the 90's and early 2000's that were not illegal? Oh we cant have that.
Pete Rose screwed up and bet on some games- mostly betting on his own team to win. Yes that was wrong- but not alowing the hits leader to be in is bullshit. Include on his plaque that he messed up and gambled on baseball. Players do it all the time now. If you dont think they are you're not living in reality. I guaran-damn-tee you players at Texas made money betting against Texas this past Saturday. Gave their friend/cousin money to place a bet under their name- and they ****ed around and didnt cover. Texas wins and players still make money. Happens every Saturday
Rose and Bonds not being in the HOF is a joke.Quote:

He had a "Lifetime" ban. Assume he's eligible for the Hall now.Quote:
