[QUOTE=Doggboy]Hey now, I remember Ed Podolak. Chiefs HB. Lenny Dawson era?[/QUOTE]Actually the first time I saw him was about ten years ago at a club called the Green Door in San Jose, Costa Rica.
And it wasn't a book club. Heard wild things about his place in CR. Not sure if it is still open.
[QUOTE=Sidney]Wasn't he also very good in the Decathlon?[/QUOTE]I remember Bruce Jenner from the Olympics.
I also remember Greg Louganis.
Did you hear they stripped Greg Louganis of his Gold Medals?
They found traces of Ben Johnson in him.
Alex Hawkins, who, rightly or wrongly, was given credit for coming up with the phrase, "That's my story and I'm sticking to it." Baltimore Colts special teams standout and nightowl.
Duane Thomas. Cowboy running back and bitter fucker. Coined "Plastic Man" to describe Tom Landry. Before a Super Bowl was asked by an interviewer why he wasn't more excited. His response-"If it's so fucking super how come they have it every year?"
Dock Ellis. Pitched a no hitter for Pittsburgh while tripping on LSD. Possibly the greatest feat in the history of sport!
Also, told teammates before a game with Cinncinnati that he was going to hit every Cinncinnati batter. Was pulled from the game after conking 3 in a row in the first inning by manager Danny Murtaugh. Ha ha.
Sid,
Great memory of the Gold Club; got clipped for $2,300.00 by them during the period the Feds were doing their investigation in 2000. I would have paid $23,000.00 for that night. Living in SP does that to you.
Anyway, remember Max McGee's performance in the early NFL Championships catching TD passes from Bart Starr drunk? I was only eight or so, but after that I said fuck milk, Budweiser is great on Wheaties.
I met Marcus with a young bleached blonde and OJ at the local Fatburger. OJ said to the Blonde, "Now that you are going to ride with Marcus in his Ferrari, I don't want you to get a big head." I suspect she did not follow OJ's advice and got the big head maybe even twice.
The sports stars are easy to pick out.
Broadway Joe Namath.
Dan Pastorini.
Etc, etc. Old school athlete-mongers.
However, CHARLIE SHEEN has got to be the cover-boy!
What was it, $50,000.00 dollars paid to Hiedi for 50 call girls.
$1000.00 dollars a night.
Always paid by check!
Coined one of my favorites and what should be OUR motto:
¨ I don't pay them to have sex with me, I pay them to leave afterwards.¨
Ex-Governor of N. Y. Dumbass of the year award.
Micheal Vick. Dumbass of the Century award!
Right behind Adolph Hitler for fighting a 2 front war! (on the same continent!)
Not like our man BUSH.
Have Fun,
TL
I always love the Joe on Monday night football, drunk as a skunk hitting on the reporter.
It was almost as classic as howard cosell.
Diego Maradona is also a rockstar in my book. That guy has some stories to tell.
Granted he falls into the Kieth Richards catagory.
Cheers!
Bob Denver. Huge pothead but got to do Mary Ann in real life. That deserves special consideration; I went through puberty wishing I was a Castaway. Crazy Mofo.
The picture is from the set of Gilligan's Island. This was the one where they could have left the Island, but Gilligan didn't want to.

Lol,
That made me laugh.
But isn't that Ginger?

BM.
PS. I too grew up wishing I was on that island alone with those two chicks. MmMmm.
