I think I'll vomit now.

I watched a ton of TV in the 70s (along with playing pickup games with neighborhood friends). The difference was we were watching Gilligan's Island reruns & Chico and The Man because there were only 3 channels to choose from (and 1 was kinda snowy).

[Mrs. Gore @MrsGoresDiary]

I’ve seen a lot of posts online about “bringing back the 90’s” with less screen time, more reading aloud, more bike rides, more homemade food, more playing outside and more living a present life, and I get the sentiment, but also if you were IN the 90’s you remember…

televisions going ALL day, and when nothing was on TV, the VHS tapes coming out! 😂

Just saying, if you’re looking for a screen-free lifestyle, you need to rewind a few more decades.

[Brian Evans @KSRBEvans]

Same. And it was Camera Day, so I got to go stand on that impossibly green Astroturf & see the Reds close up. THEN the Reds proceeded to pound the Padres 14-1. Doesn't get much better.

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

What was the first ballpark where you saw a major league game? I’ll start: Riverfront Stadium.

[Brian Evans @KSRBEvans]

Paraguay, huh?

Either my Twitter feed is drunk, or Chandler found a way to transfer to BYU twice.

[WelBeast @WelBeast]

What do Americans do with all these big stadiums?

[Brian Evans @KSRBEvans]

False. I've seen the Reds win 3.
Thank goodness for YouTube, because I probably won't live long enough to see a 4th.

[Vinny’s Corner @VinnysCorner1]

True or False: You’ve seen your favorite MLB team win 2 World Series in your lifetime.

Johnny Bench homers in the bottom of the 9th off Bob Moose to tie game 5 of the 1972 NLCS.

[BaseballHistoryNut @nut_history]

Age yourself but with baseball reference

I’ll start - Jack Clark's Game 6 HR

[Brian Evans @KSRBEvans]

Amazing stuff.
But I like to think I could do this with National League hitters from the 70s.

[Kyle Porter @KylePorterNS]

Him getting Spieth without Spieth even swinging made me laugh for some reason.

[Brian Evans @KSRBEvans]

Bo McMillin, 3-time All-American at QB for Centre College. Led the Praying Colonels to an upset of #1 Harvard in 1921. Chosen for the introductory class of the College Football Hall of Fame.

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

Who’s the greatest athlete who went to any school you’ve graduated from?

I’ll start: Johnny Unitas, University of Louisville.

[Brian Evans @KSRBEvans]

Nope. California in the :checks notes: ATLANTIC Coast Conference is worse.

[Big O @Riverboat_Ross]

Can we all agree UCLA, USC, Washington, and Oregon in the Big 10 is the worst gimmick in sports

[Brian Evans @KSRBEvans]

Wait til they go to 96/128. Just like 48 was a gateway to 64, they’re going to declare victory on 76 in the next couple of years and keep on rolling.

[T.J. Walker @TJWalkerRadio]

This hurts my eyes. What the HELL is this???

[Brian Evans @KSRBEvans]

After the 76 season the Reds traded Tony Perez. The Reds were never the same.

[OldTimeHardball @OleTimeHardball]

Which trade by your favorite team hurt the most?

I was 8 when the Padres traded Ozzie Smith. Crushed. Absolutely…crushed.

[Tom Fornelli @TomFornelli]

We're finally going to get that thing nobody asked for.

[Brian Evans @KSRBEvans]

Saw Tom Seaver vs Steve Carlton during Pete Rose's hit streak. I was thinking that about both of them.

[altheboss @AlTheBoss03]

Close your eyes. Think back. Who’s the one pitcher you saw live that made you say ‘nobody’s hitting this guy today’?

[Brian Evans @KSRBEvans]

Dave Concepcion (who should be in the Hall of Fame).

[Vinny’s Corner @VinnysCorner1]

Without saying Pete Rose, Barry Larkin, Johnny Bench, Joey Votto, Elly De La Cruz, or Frank Robinson, name a Red….

The NIL market for college basketball is now up 65% from last offseason. And there's a certain player type that's being overpaid.
