Since I grew up a Hoosier, I do know a little about basketball, but I've never been a huge sports fan either. (but I have an excuse I'm a girl)
But now that my job revolves around sports, I owe it to my employer to educate myself and develop a basic interest and the sport in question is football, which to my unexperienced brain seems to be more complex than baseball or basketball. Sad
I work at an NFL stadium and I have to attend every home game (thankfully I get paid) We are also home to the local university football team, so I have to go to those games as well.
I NEED to learn football.

SL,

Thank you. That'll be $250 please for the psycho analysis. How does that make you feel? Laughing Wink

It really is cool for those of us who get it and love sports (to a sane degree, at least (no cowbells needed)) to see TV shows depict sports. They rarely do justice to the sports because most folks probably don't care and would never spend time talking about baseball gloves not being the correct brand. That kind of enjoyment of detail makes folks like IH and me 'special', shall we say (or different, anyway).

Thanks for sharing. I hope you didn't mind the joke about the analysis.

One more thing about sports on TV before you guys kick me off the board. TS was very believable in the softball, basketball, tennis, and volleyball scenes. Not so much in the golf scene during "Forty Years From Sand Island". He is obviously very athletic.

LHG....

You sure it was "Eighth Part of the Village"? I think you're talking "Forty Years From Sand Island"

So you work in Tampa Stadium and you watch the USF Bulls. Mad I am a UCF grad and unfortuantely USF has gotten the better part of UCF in football in the "War on I-4." It hasn't been pretty. USF has done an impressive job with their football program.

As you mentioned in your previous post, the NY Yankees hold their spring training right across the street from Tampa Stadium on Dale Mabry. Did you know the Detroit Tigers hold their spring training in Lakeland, which is only about 45 minutes from Tampa? Who knows, maybe you'll run into TS at one of their games. Didn't he play in a game for the Tigers during spring training one year? A few scenes from Mr. Baseball were filmed there. Do you go to many Rays games? I'm watching the Rays play the Oakland A's right now.

Two things stood out to me in this ep. First it is a great character episode - Magnum and TC's reaction to "Is it your stomach" was exactly how my friends would react, and higgins looked perfectly serious and awkward as third base coach. The other thing that sorta surprised me- Magnum Chewing tobacco!

It was "RED MAN." The funny thing I thought about this was that they tried to hide the product name by covering up the "RED" (I think). I always wondered if you're going to go to the trouble to disguise the name of a product on your show, then why not cover the entire package, container, bottle, can, etc. (like the Dole Pineapple boxes seen in Mr. White Death that were so cleverly [ Rolling Eyes ] covered to look like "C"ole pineapples).

Instead of chewing tobacco, Magnum should have used Big League Chew. It would have been perfect for the character of Magnum.

As a kid I used to stuff my face with that gum, to the point where I hardly had room to chew it anymore.

I kinda noticed a little flub.

When the gang is practicing you can see in the background T.C.'s van, the Jimmy AND the Ferrari?

Who brought the Jimmy? Higgins never drives it... so it couldn't be him.
