Your Next Boneyard Greatest Of Tournament - You Decide!

[storrsroars]

Best / most memorable sorts announcer calls of all time

The 32 best calls in sports history (and a Scully vs. Buck debate)

Scully is perhaps the all-time great, but the reverence given both those calls of Gibson's HR escapes me. It wasn't a 7th game or even a do-or-die game. It was the 1st game.

I can give you a dozen Greg Brown calls from Pirates games that I enjoyed more.

I think either best song or best album would be an interesting tournament topic given the demographics here.

With Stairway as Shawshank and Rumors as Rocky, no thanks.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I might change my vote to Boneyard Poster or Thread. I think the chances the tourney turns into one big roast of all the participants would make for a fun time.

Just know @Devland @White Dwarf @UofCT2009 won't be among my choices. Dead to me.

Other than Makers Muppet clearly winning, you might be right about the overall tourney.

Boneyard poster or thread isn't going to happen. Nothing good would come of it.

You're probably right. It would've been fun, but you likely would've needed to grant me temporary Mod powers or something to keep it friendly.

I might make a case for “Can’t You See,” Marshall Tucker Band.

I was strictly doing alliteration & syllable count on two massive popular fabotites, nothing content-related if that's what you're suggested.

Highly underrated band.

How about biggest movie bad ass (no super power or robotics edition)? Who's tougher drunk Wil Munny in Unforgiven or Rooster Cogburn? Die Hard's John McClane or Riggs from Lethal Weapon? Rocky or Frank Dux from Bloodsport? Could be interesting.

That would be fun.

Rambo was wayyy more of a bad ass than Rocky.

 

[CL82]

Rambo was wayyy more of a bad ass than Rocky.

No doubt, but I couldn't think of anyone to compare him to. Maybe Matrix from Comando or Dutch from Predator.

 

[Adios]

Cobra tops Rambo. Snake Plissken might top Cobra.

 

[Adios]

Warriors might top em all.

I now think we should totally do album.

We had a dozen people upset when Avicii died.

Marshall Tucker versus Imagine Dragons for a trip to the Final Four.

If Leon: The Professional was filmed in the 40s, Mitchum would've been perfect casting.

As it is, I'll still take Jean Reno as my ultimate bad-ass as that movie has at least one foot in reality as opposed to most others mentioned.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Hottest sitcom moms.

Liam Neeson

Yes, I think we are most diverse in musical taste vs movie or tv taste.
To wit, I'd say the album version of favorites would be U2 (prob publicly loved Joshua Tree vs better Unforgettable Fire) vs. the Eagles Hotel California.

Lots of room for good weird matchups though just like in the movie bracket.

I definitely agree with this, save for the U2 and Eagles love (blech), musical tastes would definitely be far more diverse I would bet. I know mine would be. If I were to do it though I would probably keep it at musical acts otherwise I fear it would just be a million different albums. There would surely be some overlap, but it probably wouldn’t be all that inclusive since not everyone might have formed an opinion about particular albums vs certain artists.

 

[storrsroars]

Nah. I've seen enough BY music threads to confident say winner will be either a jam band or some white blues player. You can eliminate 98% of genres right off the bat.
