funny story about Rocky and Bullwinkle: If the script ran a bit long, the actors talked faster so the show would fit in the allotted time. (don't know if this is true, but, it's good anecdote.)

I would believe it. Part of the charm is its fast pace, i don't think i can distinguish between normal fast and ludicrous speed...

I'm curious on how long the leash will be for Gibson.  How many more starts of the 2017 Kyle Gibson before we see him mercifully moved to the pen?

Are you Scott Stahoviak?

not that I'd use the power for evil, but if I had a  super power, I'd like to have Kilgrave's mind control abilities... 

Superhero I'd most like to be: Captain America.

Superhero I'm most like? The Hulk.

Oh, and no sympathy for a company that can't accurately predict slowing growth. Change before you have to, or your profits will suffer.

Next step, let me stream my in-market MN teams live.

I think I'd be a little evil.

Nobody actually watches ESPN anymore, do they? It's absolutely terrible.

 

Speaking of Tony Stark.... Today is National Superhero Day! If you could be any superhero, who would you be? 

 

If I had to choose.

 

Superman for sure... but... I'd be a lazy one. 

 

You'd hardly know I was around. 

 

I'd use my powers to get to other places for vacation purposes. 

 

I'd be Wonder Woman because she's so awesome and kick ass.

 

Oh, wait ... I AM Wonder Woman!

 

Yeah... I wonder about you a lot. 

 

We wonder about you too.....

 

You beat me

 

Can't change it now. Gonna have to let my belated post stand.

No sympathy for a company that demands to be in 90% of all cable homes in order to receive their programming and then pulls 7 dollars a month out of the wallet of each of the 90% regardless if they watch the channel or not. The next closest cable channel gets around $1.50 from each subscriber monthly. 

 

Want to know why you cable bill is high. ESPN is a good place to start looking for that answer.  

Uhh, clearly the greatest superhero is the guy in my Av.......like obviously.

I've watched it less and less. At least they still have PTI and Highly Questionable is really funny even though they know very little about sports.

I used to have ESPN on so much that the watermark burned into my TV screen.  I never missed SportsCenter when it was just a half hour highlight reel.  Now, if it weren't for college basketball games, I wouldn't even know where it was on the dial.  I never watch other than games and I rarely even visit their website anymore.  They had so many writers covering the same thing that they'd contradict each other and erode any credibility the network or either of the contradicting writers had.

Umm, from the expression on his face, he would be: Captain Constipation?

Highly questionable is good.  No one is debating anything.

Wow!

 

I just got stuck on the word "dial" and on a tv no less.

 

It has been a while...

I got a friend who dresses up as Rorschach occasionally.

 

Having these things called acting skills, he can pull it off pretty good too.

Are you Scott Stahoviak?

He prefers to go by "Stahoviaksee."

Another good Joe M conversation. Any chance you could work in Joe Mantegna or maybe even José Mesa, who I remember the folks on ESPN call him (the last time I watched ESPN) "Joe Table."

And Joey McIntyre from NKOTB.

I'm Scott Stahoviak.

I think this falls under the "he/she who dealt it, smelled it" category.

 

Be very careful of the posts you make, they might expose your deepest and darkest secrets.
