I think it was Goebbels' wife who killed the kids. I know, he was definitely in full agreement.

I don't know about that, Lone Watie ended up in the sack with the squaw.

"Sne thinks I'm some kind of a Cherokee Chief"

"I wonder whatever gave her that idea", lol.
I get that everyone is different but just here on page 9 we have No country for old men, Chinatown, Apocalypse Now,and Lawrence of Arabia.....these are all great movies, classics even. It's hard to imagine a movie lover thinking these are not great movies.

Once Upon a Rhyme is one of the greatest country albums of all time.

Jody like a melody, Loneliness in Ruby's eyes, Would you lay with me, Another pretty country song, Shine it on, etc.

A masterpiece.

Is this a joke? You are saying it is harder to be great at golf than being an NFL quarterback? How about being a champion boxer?

Try either one and get back to me. You will be begging to get back on the golf course.

The Outlaw Josey Wales is my favorite western of all time, followed very closely by The Searchers.

Unforgiven is in my top ten along with The Good, the bad...,Once upon a time in the west, The Wild Bunch, Shane, Ride Lonesome, Liberty Valance, Butch Cassidy and Jeremiah Johnson.

In late April the 4k discs of Josey Wales, Pale Rider and Dirty Harry arrive.
Some women have been watching too many of the recent movies where a 115 pound woman beats up 220 pound men.
The legend that is Mike Tyson continues. He is the baddest man that ever walked the face of the earth. All of the heavyweight champions past tremble at the very mention of his name. MMA fighters thank God every day that they never had to face him.
you lost me at "spinnerbait" totally didn't read another word.

I guess this was a joke?

Spinnerbaits have caught a zillion big bass.

To the OP, I have also caught some big cats on spinnerbaits, up to 10 pounds or so. They sometimes fight very different than a bass, herky jerky or spinning. Years ago in California I caught a 17 pound cat on a Castaic trout swimbait off the end of the boat ramp dock in the dark one morning. I launched the boat and didn't start the engine, just began casting. She hit on the surface when I twitched the 9" swimbait. What a battle that was, she went down deep, 25 foot of water and it took so long to finally net her that my forearms were aching. And that was with a 7'6" rod and 25 lb test line. For a minute or so I thought I had the lake record bass, lol, then I realized no bass had that much stamina.

Lion looks to weigh at least 80 pounds, damn she is strong. Or adrenaline kicked in.
My Scott Martin story....I won a Shimano Chronarch 100mg reel on Ebay years ago. For those of you not familiar with this reel, at the time this was the creme de la creme of reels. It is beautiful also.

I get a phone call and the guy says this is Scott Martin. You won my reel on Ebay but I am fishing a tournament right now (it was either in Alabama or Tennessee) and could you please wait a few days for me to send it when I get back home to Florida.

We talked for near 30 minutes about his Dad (I was a big fan of his Dad's fishing shows growing up), fishing Lake Amistad, swimbaits, jigs, etc.
Super nice guy to talk to. When I received the reel he had inserted a signed Baseball type card in the box, my name and Bass Wishes, Scott Martin.

Baldassarre has a great video on YouTube about the Land Dweller. Not sure why the Sprite with the green dial isn't offered in a traditional configuration also. It would be a really hot seller.
Hagler didn't do shite in that fight. If he was disgusted it should have been with himself. Here he is, a natural middleweight with a big size advantage and he crapped the bed. Leonard is one of the all time greats. To answer your question OP Leonard every day of the week.

Leonard beat a prime Hearns, one of the great middleweights Hagler, an incredible boxer Benitez and lost a close one against one of the very best pound for pound fighters ever, Duran. What a resume.

The no mas fight I only give him credit for getting Duran back in the ring when he was hard partying and had to lose 30 or 40 pounds in a short period of time. He and his manager Trainer gave Duran a financial offer he couldn't refuse.

BTW, have you seen the Hagler vs. Duran fight? Duran gave him a very tough fight. From lightweight to welterweight to middleweight, what a huge jump in weight classes.
Baldwin is a mess but damn I love westerns.
I have read that some scouts have Hampton above Jeanty.

I remember listening to the radio and hearing Cosell, "down goes Frazier!"

At the time I was pulling for Frazier and was disappointed that he lost. Later I came to like George just as much as I liked Frazier and Ali. Fights were so great back then.

Sad to hear he has passed.

I still wonder sometimes about the Rumble in the Jungle with Ali. I am not prone to conspiracies and if I HAD to say it was probably just the heat, lack of stamina, and the greatness of Ali that beat Big George....but it sure makes a man wonder if something nefarious possibly happened, like something other than just water was in his bottle at ringside.

To his credit I don't believe George ever complained.
