Survey Wednesday 1/16
-
Mike Oliphant was a joke.
Merlin Olsen was a much better player and even a decent actor and had a long broadcasting career too. Mel Ott is before my time but I know he was a good player.
31 degrees sounds miserable. It's cold here...its only 55 and raining. Close to declaring a state of emergency because the sun hasn't been out for a few days.

Here are this week's survey questions. I will admit that I got most of them directly from the WKNR survey they are holding today:
1. Which two teams do you want to win Sunday...which ones will win?
2. Who is the best athlete you have ever seen play live.
3. Who is the best athlete you know that has the same initials as you? Example, my initials are TG. I could go with like Tony Gwynn or Todd Gurley or the like
4. What is the one place (or a few) that you have never been to before that you really want to go to?
5. What is your favorite winter "comfort food"?
Here are this week's survey questions. I will admit that I got most of them directly from the WKNR survey they are holding today:
1. Which two teams do you want to win Sunday...which ones will win?
Saints and Chiefs. Both of them deserve it. And I hope that Patriots keep their problems at away games.
2. Who is the best athlete you have ever seen play live.
Television counts? Rafael Nadal. He has an unmatchable mentality to keep fighting every single ball, no matter the situation, if he's winning, losing, or if he is having a bad game.
3. Who is the best athlete you know that has the same initials as you? Example, my initials are TG. I could go with like Tony Gwynn or Todd Gurley or the like
Can't think of any.
4. What is the one place (or a few) that you have never been to before that you really want to go to?
I haven't travelled at all and it sucks, but as an architect I dream of visiting Rome.
5. What is your favorite winter "comfort food"?
Closest thing I can think of is... garlic soup and though I barely eat them, I cherish buying hot chestnuts in the street an walking in the cold holding them to keep me warm.

Television counts? Rafael Nadal. He has an unmatchable mentality to keep fighting every single ball, no matter the situation, if he's winning, losing, or if he is having a bad game.
No....live means live....in person. Did you see Nadal in person...or just on the telly?
If we were including TV...hell....I can say that I saw Kaitlin Jenner.....(or at least I did see Bruce)

What are your initials...perhaps we can help you out.

DC... It works for Comics, for sportsmen? IDK.

I have almost never watched live games, so no one relevant.
-
DC... It works for Comics, for sportsmen? IDK.
These names may not mean anything to you....but they are Hall of Famers in their sports here:
Dave Casper.....the Ghost. Tight End for the Raiders (70s) PFHOF
Dave Cowens......Hall of Fame basketball player for the Boston Celtics (also 70s)
But....you also have the current QB for the Raiders.....Derek Carr..who is pretty good.

Here are this week's survey questions. I will admit that I got most of them directly from the WKNR survey they are holding today:
1. Which two teams do you want to win Sunday...which ones will win?
Want to win: Saints, Patriots. Who will win: Saints, Chiefs
2. Who is the best athlete you have ever seen play live.
LeBron
3. Who is the best athlete you know that has the same initials as you? Example, my initials are TG. I could go with like Tony Gwynn or Todd Gurley or the like
Bob McAdoo or Baker Mayfield (too soon?)
4. What is the one place (or a few) that you have never been to before that you really want to go to?
Columbia River Gorge, Joshua Tree NP, Fjords in Norway, Lake Geneva in Switzerland (Smoke on the Water)
5. What is your favorite winter "comfort food"?
Chili
-
1. Which two teams do you want to win Sunday...which ones will win?
Want Chiefs to win...but it probably won't happen. Am ambivalent on the other game....though I think I would like to see Drew Brees make another Super Bowl before he retires. Could you imagine Brady and Brees in the Super Bowl? Two 40 year old QBs. This is what the new rules on hitting the QB gets us.
2. Who is the best athlete you have ever seen play live.
It is either LeBron...or Tiger Woods (saw him at Firestone) Go with LeBron for athleticism.
3. Who is the best athlete you know that has the same initials as you? Example, my initials are TG. I could go with like Tony Gwynn or Todd Gurley or the like
The two I mentioned are good ones.....but another is soon to be HOFer Tony Gonzales.
4. What is the one place (or a few) that you have never been to before that you really want to go to?
As you know...I have been everywhere man....but, actually, not quite. As far as USA proper I will give one east coast....and one West coast. East coast: to go out to the Statue of Liberty...and up the Empire State Building (I was scheduled to do both on or around 9/20/2001....but you can guess why that didn't happen). On the west coast....it would be a combined trip to the Pinnacle NP (the only NP on the continental US I have not been to) combined with a drive down the Big Sur highway. I too would like to do an Alaska cruise...someday. Europe: Venice/French Riviera.
5. What is your favorite winter "comfort food"?
Probably just a good ole bowl of chili.
2. Who is the best athlete you have ever seen play live.
It is either LeBron...or Tiger Woods (saw him at Firestone) Go with LeBron for athleticism.
Yeah, that's a toughie. I'd argue that Greg Norman was actually a better athlete than Tiger since he took up golf at age 16, while Tiger was a prodigy early on and only played golf. Norman was into soccer, rugby, and basketball as a kid.
Plus, being a total sports junkie it was hard to pick just one guy. I've always thought basketball players were the best athletes so I went with LeBron. Apologies to Adrian Peterson, Eric Metcalf, Greg Pruitt, Rocket Richard, Omar Vizquel, Dr. J, George Gervin, Mychael Thompson, and Bruce Smith.

4. What is the one place (or a few) that you have never been to before that you really want to go to?
Europe, Ayers Rock Australia, a night at the Observatory on top of Mauna Kea Hawaii. LOL, knocks off another one of my state high points. Due to a good pal who lives there, been to Alaska many times.
5. What is your favorite winter "comfort food"?
Grilled steak, and a nice bottle of wine- finished off with a glass or three of port, of course that's my summer comfort food too.

Joe Montana
Probably Zombo's answer for #3?

OK....what is all this love for wanting the Patriots to win? I mean, at this point perhaps the only teams that I would want to lose more than the Pats would be the Steelers, Ravens, Cowboys, Broncos.

well...I don't hate the Patriots or the coach as much as most around here so I wouldn't necessarily be rooting against them anyways. But in the case of this season its the little matter of a $250 prize to me should the Patriots win the Super Bowl. Picked them in a blind draw pool when the playoffs started.

I'm with you there. New England has been to the SB and won more than their share, time for somebody else...

Durant at UT-Austin nobody at 6'10' should be able to shoot that well from so far out.

I had 2 of his baseball cards taped to my PC & actually used to prank people at work by autographing stuff for them! Today, someone would KILL me for being politically incorrect.

Um, no you wouldn't, at least the part about watching Grizzly bears on the other side. Trust me- they aren't predictable, and it's scary as hell seeing one closer than a couple hundred feet away.... (short of having a trusty .375 H&H bear stopper handy)
