Am I alone or did I miss an announcement? The men’s hoops forum is gone from my menu.

MLB.com put out a list of must see minor league parks for each major league franchise and Dunkin is on the list. I haven’t been able to get there but have been thinking about making the time at least once this season. I’ve heard good things about the place. It sits on the old site of the ugly...

Looks lije City Steam on Main St in Hartford is closing. Spent many before and after Civic Center events there and at its predecessor eatery Brown Thompson &Co. How many of us are old enough to remember the Brown-Thompson Dept. Store, one of several department stores in downtown Hartford for years.

He and his pre-deceased wife Eydie Gorme were a hugely popular singing duo. I saw him on Broadway in a play called What Makes Sammy Run mid m-1960s and I said to my date at one point that I thought he was ad libbing. He suddenly said his female co-star’s dressing room door had jammed shut and...

With UConn seemingly heavily recruiting non USA talent, I’m curious about how people would rate UConn foreign players. This is from memory so I’m likely forgetting some. This for players with more or less meaningful minutes. My list in order of best first Abrosimova Edwards Juhasz Nurse Muhl...

I don’t think this was postef, sorry if so. One of the best and most colorful Huskies ever. Many possibly true stories about off field exploits. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/theday/name/john-contoulis-obituary?id=53803032

Producer/ Director Norman Lear has died at 101 years. For anyone too young to know or remember his prime, his TV sit coms, notably in the 1970s, took on big social issues, with All in the Family being the most notable of them, yielding several major spin offs. He spent most of his young life in...

I apologize if this his already been discussed. Does anyone else have the feed issues i have with Yankee games on Primr? Constant video interruptions and many audio as well. Pretty much unwatchable. .

Sitting waiting for the U of Miami Law School graduation of my nephew being held at the basketball arena. What an old dump. Old uncomfortable seats. No matter complaints about Gampel or Hartford, they are deep luxury in comparison.

Any suggestions for best long term parking at Newark International?

Not sure if anyone put this up, but a kid having a little fun.

Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced, decent hotel at or very near the Miami FL airport, preferably with free parking. Going to an event at UMiami but an early morning flight home to CT.

Thought of putting this in the UM-MSU brawl thread, but doesn’t belong there. My son, a UM grad sent me a copy of the title of a thread in a UM football blog I have no idea what the replies are.

For any who didn’t see the Giants pull another comeback win, this time vs. Jacksonvile, some on the BY pay a lot of attention to reffing. The Giant game had some of the worst calls to overcome. The crazy last minute included two bad penalty calls that gave Jax a reasonable last second shot at...

I hadn’t played this course in about 7 years and knew that it had deteriorated. I’d heard it was coming back so our group played there yesterday. The course and the pro shop are both in great shape. The wind made the round really hard, but we enjoyed it anyway. Our group is ancient so we often...

One wild and fun game. Might go to overtime.

Anyone here play River Ridge in Griswold CC? How would it be this time of year? Worth over an hour drive?

A name some will know. I just learned that Lloyd Hinchey passed away last week. In the early 1960s he was one of the best hs basketball players in the state at Norwich Free Academy. He was a fabulous shooter, first team all state I think more than once. He played college ball at Holy Cross when...

Walter Mondale, VP to Jimmy Carter passed away yesterday. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a non- political family event when he was VP elect. He and his wife were close friends of my wife’s aunt and uncle, the uncle was a higher up in the DC political media. I can say that I slept in the...

Does anyone know if Laurel View CC in Hamden has come back from the dead? I think it has new management.

Any thoughts on whether there is any impact of crowd noise (or the lack of it) on shooting percent, at least for some players. I wonder if playing in a pretty silent atmosphere reduces focus a bit during a game, making it feel a little like a pick up game for players who sometimes feed off a crowd.

Excellent baseball relief pitcher. Dead of COVID-19 at age 84. Played almost 20 years through the mid 1970s, mostly with Cards and Yanks.

A great Netflix miniseries. We binge watched. Everyone I know who has seen it loves it. Who would think that a character study about an orphaned girl who becomes an international chess champ could be engrossing. But it is. Great acting, great writing, great pacing. The main character has issues...

Speaking on the NBA strike. Strong statement of support.

Played 18 there today, New Haven’s muni course. I was glad I did. It’s in great shape, although the greens were a little slow for my taste. I hadn’t played there in a few years. It was fairly busy, but we played a little over 3.5 hours as a 2some. Even the 4some a few holes in front of us didn’t...

One of the greats passed away at age 90 RIP.

Being mostly coronaed to stay inside , wife and I have been binge watching shows we’ve never seen. Comedy suggestions welcomed. There are two non-American shows we actually binged well before the virus that are frequently really funny once you get past the first episode that more or less...

The only pitcher in World Series history to throw a perfect game passed away at age 90 this week. The film of Yogi Berra jumping into Larsen’s arms after he fanned Dale Mitchell of the Dodgers for the last out is classic. Larsen was overall at best a journeyman level pitcher who caught lightning...

A few thoughts. Molly pleasantly surprised me. Confident and ultimately the team functioned pretty well without Crystal. Maybe using her in moments when the game hasn’t been decided is something GA might consider Kyla did a few good things but her lack of quickness against a quick team...

I played there on Friday after several years since the last time. The course condition was mid season terrific. Fairways and greens were way better than I expected. It was also fairly busy for this time of year but our 3some did 18 in just under 4 hours, with only one of us (not me :() playing...

I’m no expert, but a few things that have probably been brought up in other threads occurred to me as I sat in my seat on the 50 yard line on a gorgeous day. 1. Why on 2nd or 3rd and short would you ever run Mensah wide? 2. I said to my friends that they should run plays that Beaudry is good at...

I missed the game, and believe me the reasons for missing were far worse than any football game can be, but the comments on the threads about Beaudry aren’t exactly reflected by his stats. Comments about his constantjy overthrowing or under throwing when he was 14-21 seem a little extreme. Was...
