There was no better QB in the old USFL than Bobby Hebert.

I loved the former Michigan Panthers.
I think some guy named Alfred Taubman owned them.
They came into the old Pontiac Silverdome (home of the vaunted Detroit Lions) and built a championship team in less than 2 seasons. The Detroit Lions haven't had a team even get close to a championship since 1958. The Panthers sold the place out (81K) in the middle of the summer for home games. Anthony Carter also played for the Panthers.
But alas, they stupidly tried to go head to head with the NFL."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment

It wasn't stupid. The object was to (worst case) parallel the NFL or (best case) be folded into the NFL. They counted on the NFL owners to act illegally to bankrupt their league, which the owners happily obliged. The USFL sued in court and won. The idiot jury failed to ask the judge on a critical point of law. Unsure of how much to award the USFL (hey we're jurors, not multimillion dollar owners running a professional sports league), they awarded the USFL $1 in damages, thinking the judge would set a fair and appropriate amount. The judge had no discretion and left it in place. Since the NFL was guilty of anti-trust violations, the damages were trebled to $3. The NFL handed the USFL three crisp one dollar bills and watched them march into bankruptcy court and fold. The NFL owners still laugh about it to this day.I don't watch Fox News for the same reason I don't eat out of a toilet.Comment

A protestor interrupted the Coney Island hot dog contest and got a choke hold from Joey Chestnut for his troubles. The tiny sign he holds up said "Expose Smithfield's Deathstar". So an animal rights/meat protestor? Have no idea what that even means. It did make me discover that Smithfield makes Nathan's hot dogs, didn't know that

At least 5 dead, 16 wounded after somebody opened fire at a 4th of July parade in Highland Park, IL. That's a pretty nice suburb north of Evanston. They still don't have the shooter or a motive.

Koegel's makes the world's best hot dogs. I'll fistfight anyone who dares to dispute that."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment

Koegel’s sucks. It’s a worse version of Walmart brand."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

Apparently the only place outside of Michigan you can get those are at Meijer. I'll have to look for them. Hebrew National are my usual go-toOriginally posted by lineygoblue View PostComment

Any time you wish, you can bring whatever pretender of a hot dog to a blind taste test, and I'll bring my off the rack Koegels hot dogs, and we'll see who is the best.Originally posted by AlabamAlum View Post
Bring Nathans, Oscar Meyer, Ballpark, Tony Packo's, whatever. Kogels will stomp them all.
I'll even leave off the Flint's Original Coney Island sauce because if I added that, it would just be unfair."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment

Speaking of tubular meat products, you can trust me or not, Conecuh Sausage (an Alabama product) is a better sausage than you’ll find anywhere. Grilled original Conecuh is perfection. The snap of the skin, the spice profile, the quality premium pork that is used. I’m surprised it’s not been been expanded to northern locales since y’all are much more into brats and kielbasa than your southern compatriots."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

Conecuh is good shit.I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it onComment
