Rose claims he bet on his team to WIN. If true, In't that a hoot! Thrown out for life for betting on your own team to win the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously believe one of the best things MLB could do right now to save that absolutely insufferable sport is reinstate his privileges and put him in the HOF. Enough already. If Rose would have just taken steroids instead....he’d be golden! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught the opening of the Grammys last night and Alicia Keys was talking about Kobe and referred to him as a hero, I just about spit out my Powerade.

Everybody is different, your broad brush painting of absolutes is low IQ stuff, you should be smarter and more observant than this. Kobe’s death effects me none whatsoever personally.

Cold War Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Two weeks in a row of going to funerals of parents burying their kids. yesterday we attended the funeral of friends who found their 14 year old son hanging in the garage. For the parents and immediate family the pain is unbearable. The world has stopped spinning for them. As much as everyone's sympathizes and hearts go out to them........everyone else is going on with their lives today. The medias hyping of this as if it is such a profound loss on the world, where people will not be able to continue in their daily lives is disingenuous and bizarre.

Let's have a little fucking perspective. Kobe was a global superstar who was involved with youth sports, and with his loss was his daughters, John Altobelli, along with his wife and daughter. Yesterday morning before heading out to ride I was reading how LeBron surpassed Kobe on the all time scoring list, along with LeBron telling the story about the Philly connections and the shoes, and then coming off the mountain yesterday I hear Kobe was dead. Yes a man like Kobe is going to get a ton more press than the average Joe, but that won't change my perspective on the illness or death of anyone else.

It's not perplexing Pete is a degenerate gambler who knew the rules, and he understands the rules. What good are rules if you start making exceptions? Quote Legendary Cincinnati Reds baseball player Pete Rose, while discussing his new book, "Play Hungry: The Making of a Baseball Player," told FOX Business’ Stuart Varney that he’s totally over the Hall of Fame. When the FOX Business host asked whether he’s angry about not being in the Hall of Fame, Rose responded, “No, I'm not angry. Why would I be angry? I'm the one who screwed up.” “I'm not going to get on your show and complain about not being in Cooperstown, but I'm the one to mess it up and I'm willing to go on with it,” added the former player and manager known as “Charlie Hustle.” https://www.foxbusiness.com/features/mlb-legend-pete-rose-im-over-the-hall-of-fame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I know Michael is a hometown hero, just curious on his use of the word degenerate. I know lots of people that gamble. Never thought of it like that, it’s pretty much mainstream today.
