This is my favorite Robin Williams bit of all that he has done. It does make you wonder how the game of golf came to be.

Anybody watched the new "Fall of Favre" documentary on Netflix yet?: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/media/2025/05/20/brett-favre-the-fall-of-favre-netflix-review/83741497007/

I had heard bits and pieces about his various scandals. This doc does a good job fleshing them out, especially the welfare scam he was involved with in Mississippi.

I figure I would jinx them if I started a new topic.....but holy shit folks!!!!!

In a move to better plan trips across the ocean, F1 is shifting its schedule. Going into the Monaco race, it was known that race was moving to June next year. A plan was to run more than 1 race in North America without having to pond hop, so scheduling the Canadian Grand Prix around the time of the race in Miami, just two days ago, F1 announced the Canadian race will be May 24th, 2026. It’s never been a big deal to race in Europe on that 4th Sunday in May because of the time difference. But with a 2:00 start time, it will overlap the Indy 500.

ooops

It will likely be something that is fixed soon, or at the latest after that race.

I am not sure it was a deemed a mistake by the arrogant F1 brass......It would seem intentional

Really cool tribute to Hank Aaron prior to the start of the all star game in Atlanta

Westfield man posts manifesto of $350 million sports memorabilia scam then dies by suicide: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/2025/07/22/brett-lemieux-manifesto-350-million-sports-memorabilia-scam-suicide-westfield-autographs/85267242007/

It was 9:30 p.m. in Seattle when Scott Mahlum got what he thought was "a really weird" call last week from a friend in the sports memorabilia business telling him that Brett Lemieux had just admitted to a massive scam in a manifesto he posted to Facebook.

"And I remember just reading it, and my first thoughts were, 'Why is he burying himself? Why is he giving the FBI and police all the information, everything they need?'" said Mahlum. "It made zero sense."

Mahlum knew all about Lemieux, 45, who lived in Westfield. Just about everyone in the sports memorabilia world knew of Lemieux, he said. Lemieux was known in the industry as a scammer, pushing out counterfeit autographed items en masse, a shady character who operated as "Mistermancave" and several other entities. He was single-handedly helping to dilute prices and, in turn, the profits of legitimate sellers.

.....

"On July 15, the Westfield Police Department executed a search warrant in the 16800 block of South Park Drive regarding a counterfeit sports memorabilia scheme," Westfield police said in a statement, the only one the department has made publicly regarding Lemieux. "The next day, the search extended to the 300 block of Hoover Street. Upon arrival, officers found the individual deceased with a self-inflicted gunshot wound."

The coroner’s office in Hamilton County confirmed that Lemieux’s body was found at the 300 block of Hoover Street in Westfield and that he died by suicide. Lemieux's death occurred hours after his Facebook post, at the location where law enforcement conducted search warrants July 16.

I hope any of you out there who are sports memorabilia collectors didn't get scammed by this guy.   Except for those who collect Packers memorabilia.  They deserve to get scammed................  🙂

There had been some indications for several days prior to this latest update from Ryno.

There are usually exceptions to nearly every rule, and it seems an exception here would have been an obvious one. Sad this team earned their spot but cannot compete in the Senior Little League World Series.

Not a meme….a tribute. Didn’t realize the Hoosier product was 4 time all state at Gary Emerson and a runner up for the Heisman at the University of Iowa. Definitely a work horse. Not a bad actor either!!

What a stellar career. HOF induction was well earned....he was fun to watch play the game, and is such a class act on and off the field.

 

 

[Irishman]

I want to know who that writer was, and why the vote "no". He handles it well though. 

 

 

[Irishman]

Classic Dave Parker.....wrote this poem several years ago, like way back when he SHOULD have been inducted. Such a shame he passed before his induction.

Another super duper hot take…

if you aren’t voted in the HOF on your first year of eligibility, you can’t be voted in.
