Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Players I'd stand on a small mound of dirt for...)

Or we can look at actual numbers and form an opinion. I would love for Eagles to come out this season and dominate. He showed in a couple of games last season he has that kind of ability. He also showed a remarkable ability to NOT make a difference in 8 games. So, I think it is not unreasonable to ask "which Brennan Eagles shows up in 2020?" That isn't disparaging him, at all.
Exactly. Not saying we don't want him. I'm glad he's on our side. Hope he can provide the role we need from an upperclassman.
 
MJ cool? Playing with little boys whose star-crossed parents were stupid enough to let them have sleepovers with a 40 year old man isn't cool, and never will be. With Prince, it is more off stage vs on stage persona. The on stage was as cool as it gets.
Ok, MJ had a whole history before that stuff. Don’t be dense. Prince had plenty of cool off the stage, at least according to most of the universe. All this is rather obvious if your head wasn’t in the sand.
 
Prince playing guitar? As cool as it gets....Prince, off screen, talking with a puppet right before going into seclusion, not so cool. 2 different guys. On stage, off stage. One is cool, one is not.
Can I see a Top 10 list of yours during the same period?

If Prince isn't cool... I need to know who the hell is.

I'm also confused by the idea that you want to separate him from his craft in a way I've not quite seen before. It's like telling me not consider that Harrison Ford was Han Solo when I was 8. Or don't pay attention to the Apple stuff when considering Steve Jobs.

Prince is a music icon. He's a style icon. He's a damn sex icon.

But, you're right, I don't know what it would be like to have a discussion with him...

Sorry, in my house, pedophilia cancels out anything you did that was cool before.

Did OJ's history as a sports/pop culture icon prior to the 90s cease to ever exist because he killed two people?

We don't just pretend like he wasn't an American darling prior to all of that.
 
You can make a case that no one in the last 40 years was ever as cool as MJ when he did the moonwalk for the first time.

you are kind of all over the place I’m rules here

stories about prince trying to prop him up

but nothing about Jackson off the stage counts - well nothing negative against children does

Gonna have to agree to strongly disagree.
 
@Ketchum sorry but I just can't imagine anyone having a better arm than Simms did.

Oh and Prince and Michael Jackson at 1 and 2? A pedophile at #2? Wow.
a. Simms did not have a special arm. He had a special arm compared to what Texas had seen previously, but Chance Mock had a stronger and better raw arm.

b. Acknowledging that Michael Jackson was a supernova in the 80s is not an endorsement of anything he did away from the mic, rather it's merely an acknowledgement of history.

Not sure Prince was really cool, either. Possibly THE most talented musician of our time? Sure. Weird, reclusive person who changes their name to a symbol being cool? Not in my world. But, damn, was he amazing.

No. 9 - The List: Top 10 coolest dudes of my lifetime ...

Inspired by this post from the board this weekend, I give you my Top 10 coolest men/dudes/guys post-1976.

10. Patrick Swayze (Dirty Dancing/Road House)
9. Ken Griffey Jr. (early 90s)
8. Keanu Reeves (present day)
7. Matthew McConaughey
6. Andre 3000 (last 25 years)
5. George Clooney (circa-Ocean's 11)
4. Harrison Ford (early to mid 80s)
3. Eddie Murphy (1980s)
2. Michael Jackson (Thriller album)
1. Prince


Any list of coolest men/dudes/guys that doesn't include Bill Murray is not a list I can trust. Also, there's gotta be room for at least one of Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Denzel Washington, Sean Connery, Idris Elba, Clint Eastwood, or Paul Newman on there, right? Maybe the 1976 cutoff eliminates some of the older actors (Butch Cassidy was 1969 and Cool Hand Luke was 1967), but I'd put Jack and Leo over Clooney and Keanu 8 days a week.

Finally, no athlete on the planet had more swagger than Prime Time in the 1990s.
 
Was OJ cool in the 70s?
Yeah I don’t see how admitting 1983 MJ was really cool. No one knew what was to come. Once he did what he did, of course you condemn that. It’s not that hard
 
Adam Dunn never played a down at Texas, so we really have zero idea how he spun it, or if he was accurate. I believe he knew je would not play over Applewhite, plus the Reds opened up the bank vault for him. I admit it may be early to place Card anywhere as he has yet to play a down, either. I'd take Colt's accuracy over Simms arm strength any day of the week.
I would too
 
Or we can look at actual numbers and form an opinion. I would love for Eagles to come out this season and dominate. He showed in a couple of games last season he has that kind of ability. He also showed a remarkable ability to NOT make a difference in 8 games. So, I think it is not unreasonable to ask "which Brennan Eagles shows up in 2020?" That isn't disparaging him, at all.
I am more worried if Sam can connect on the Deep ball because that has been the weakest part of his passing.

OL and Sam’s deep ball is the answer
