“Bias would have been to Jordan what Bird was to Magic.”

Len Bias, legendary.

[Richard Scher @rscher29]

@KDPomp Because society and human behavior today is much worse than even 20 years ago. It’s not alcohol. People have been drinking at games for decades. People today don’t care about rules, etiquette, or have the self control or self respect that used to be the norm.

@ASaunders_PGH @pittbandphoto Thank you and very interesting. I wonder if Len Bias’s death was also a factor. It happened in 1986, which fits your timeline, and produced so many negative headlines about big time college sports, not only drugs but poor academic oversight and concerns for student athletes

@ASaunders_PGH @pittbandphoto Alan— Great retrospective and thanks. What do you mean though that Pitt nuked its own athletic department? Did that have any impact on Sherrill leaving?

[Richard Scher @rscher29]

@nut_history He dislocated his hip in a playoff game against the Bengals in 1991. That started his decline and impacted both careers although much more football.

@RetroNewsNow Don Draper produced it. Peggy Olsen assisted.

@TMZ What’s Larry Bird think?

[Richard Scher @rscher29]

@Steelersdepot Ben’s personal feelings toward Mason notwithstanding, no you don’t go into a season with both backups having zero NFL experience.

[Richard Scher @rscher29]

@KalshiFB Urlacher off. Big Ben on.

[Richard Scher @rscher29]

@KalshiFB Way short on Steelers. John Stallworth and Donnie Shell are both hall of famers and top ten for sure. LC Greenwood just outside the top ten.

@MarkKaboly Mark- Even if not as his official title, Art Jr as dir of player personnel has to be here. Built the 70s teams. Also Syd Thrift. Short run but hired Leyland, drafted Bonds, signed Bonilla, traded Pena for Van Slyke, LaValliere and was architect of 90s teams.

[Richard Scher @rscher29]

@awfulannouncing Many, many ex players understand that criticizing players is part of the job. She clearly should not be in this role.

[Richard Scher @rscher29]

@LenBiasBook Thanks Dave. As depressing as his story is for all of us who are old enough to have watched him play, at least many of his games being on YouTube and social media in general will keep him alive forever.

@KalshiFB Long in front of Easley. Grimm before collinsworth. Hilgenberg too high.

@RetroNewsNow This is the song that ushered in the disco era. True or false?

[Richard Scher @rscher29]

@TheFiveStarters That starting lineup would destroy the last 15 national champions.

[Richard Scher @rscher29]

@VintageHoops NBC’s Roundball Rock theme song of the 1990’s was good but this was better because this one always included a voiceover and highlights by Brent Musberger or Dick Stockton of a previous matchup that would play up the current game more.

[Richard Scher @rscher29]

@CBKReport This further reiterates how bad a decision it was to hire Juwan Howard. He was never a real coach. They have one now.

@uniformcritic Compare the talent in this game to whoever plays in this year’s championship game.
