Quote from: Hards Alumni on February 13, 2026, 10:11:35 AMIt's true, Al was such a legend he used to sub in for the last two minutes of every game that they won.  They only lost the games he wanted to teach the boys a lesson and didn't play.

And then they'd get into a fist fight in the locker room to hash out differences of opinion.  Al always knew best.

This all true. The good old days. Shaka is no Al.

Quote from: nyg on February 13, 2026, 05:02:25 PMThat was like Tiger Woods going in the 18th green at the US Open with a three shot lead, then putting four balls in the water to lose.  But unlike Tiger, the kid was way too confident and when he missed that first 4 quad, it changed.  Then he fell, missed another 4 quad and fell again.  Maybe a more simple run would have done it.  Probably cost him $50 million in endorsements.  He wins, he is on Wheaties, commercials, everything.  Was face of US Olympics and took a dump. That TV overhear was brutal, made him look like a spoiled brat.  Only 21, hope he gets over the loss.

Now waiting for the female face, Mikela to fall again in skiing.  In her last six Olympic events, she hasn't won a single medal, including one already this year.  Hope it doesn't happen, she is worlds best, but so was Ilia.

Now it is Jordan Stolz time. 

Sounds brutal.

Stolz appears to be the real deal. 

Al got it done.

Quote from: Hards Alumni on February 13, 2026, 03:11:38 PMI often think about the people around here that are nostalgic for this guy.

Not me.

I'll never forget an MU staff member telling me, "Buzz and his wife got so insufferable  we would have taken the Creans back in a second."

Quote from: wadesworld on February 13, 2026, 04:02:17 PMBrutal for Ilia Malinin.  Sucks the camera was zoomed in on his face waiting for his scores.  Caught him talking about them not sending him to Beijing, people will see that as him making excuses, but he handled congratulating the gold medalist and the interview right after that very well.

I give the guy credit for going out and trying to hit a home run when he only needed a single. Leave it all out there.

The first gold medal for Kazakhstan too!

If you sort from 2/1 ? LOL ...

So, in the past 12 days? Wow. Let's quick give SS an extension.

What if you sort for the past 48 hours?
Then how are they doing ?

Just did it--thank you.  It's still up.

Brutal for Ilia Malinin.  Sucks the camera was zoomed in on his face waiting for his scores.  Caught him talking about them not sending him to Beijing, people will see that as him making excuses, but he handled congratulating the gold medalist and the interview right after that very well.
