@Super70sSports Or, as Wallace Shawn told Clark Griswold, “Just give me half the money you were going to lose, we’ll go out back and I’ll kick you in the balls. It’s the same thing and you get there faster.”
@Super70sSports I liked the next year when they became the Super Globetrotters and they all had a secret power. Goose Ausbie had an Afro bigger than Darnell Hillman’s and he could reach in and pull out anything they needed, even a bulldozer.
@TurnerSportsEJ@taylorswift13 Ernie, this was dangerous. Just imagine the back page headlines of the NY Post:
Taylor Swift Can’t Choose Between Kelse and New Beau Ernie Johnson!!
@Super70sSports Charlie Silvera, 40s/50s Yankees.
Won 6 World Series rings, but since he was Yogi Berra’s backup, he only played in one World Series game.
@Super70sSports That TV had a bad tube and was out of service more than a McDonalds’ ice cream machine. You had to sit close to watch the 12” TV with rabbit ears that sat on top of the 3-ton Magnavox console.
@Mike_Ferrin If I were anywhere near Chapel Hill, NC, I would be just like that nice Duke/USC fan you showed in the stands.
I still remember going to NCAA tournament games in the Dean Dome…while UNC was in Utah.

@ChuckHeineman@nut_history What happens is that he has to explain crap to casual fans that avid fans already know when he’s on a national broadcast. When I saw him on Mets and Cardinals broadcasts, he was great partly because he could get more in depth with the team fans.
@nut_history I thought Tim McCarver, like many baseball broadcasters, was great doing team work for the Mets and Cardinals. However, when he had to “dumb it down” for casual fans on national broadcasts, he wasn’t as good. Same for Bob Costas and Joe Buck.
@LonelyTalegater I’d liked to have seen a little tag team battle, losers have to change their last names:
Vern and Greg the SS vs. Greg the wrestler and Eric the steroid freak reliever.
@RegionalTVCat And then Mom would have to do the iron on patches on the inside of the knees when the rocks you slid into around 3B were tougher than the Toughskin jeans.
@mymomcare I’m standing between 2 of the biggest 1970s sports icons, one who quite literally got away with murder and the other who voluntarily had his dick lopped off. What the fuck is wrong with the 21st Century. I’m Howard Cosell, just telling it like it is.
