Just saw that Cliff Drysdale is retiring after tomorrow's women's semi. Hell of a run - 46 years and he's 84. The send off was pretty emotional and you could tell he is truly loved as a broadcaster and person.
"Who is Stan Smith" on Hulu brings a lot of insight to the man and era. Even if you're not a tennis fan, worth watching, IMO.
I know now why Johnny Mac, whenever Smith is shown in the stands, says "and there's the GREAT Stan Smith".
Twins pitching still sucks for the most part, and their batting averages are generally not good, but the new aggressive base running, stealing bases, etc, version is much more enjoyable to watch.
I probably shouldn't have used the word dislike. What i was aiming at were the folks that were saying it was his time to move on. Certainly no dislike on my part. Nothing but respect.
I'd hire Norvell in a second. Did great at Memphis. Been great at FSU except for last year when everything went wrong. Didn't have a qb, and I think a bit of a despirited squad after they got screwed by selection committee in 2023. You can, I suppose, put some of that on him for not moving them...
