Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Yorkie in Jo Jo Rabbit. I’ll think of some others.

In the immortal words of Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas)….Greed is a good thing. I’m not so sure that applies to college football.

Growing up I was spoiled to have the Reds to root for. They were truly a ‘big Red Machine’ and true professionals. The pitching staff seemed pretty mediocre but if you look back at their ERA’s they all would be making millions and millions of dollars today - Don Gullett (recently passed away), Jack Billingham, Gary Nolan, Freddie Norman and Pat Zachary (1976 NL Rookie of the Year). The 75/76 Reds were one of the top 5 teams in baseball history.

In 1968 Bob Gibson won the NL Cy Young Award. The Cardinals lost the world series in 7 games to the Tigers - the same season Denny McLain won 31 games. Amazingly, Gibson lost 9 games with a 1.12 ERA!

In 1972, Steve Carlton was 27-10 with an ERA of 1.97. He pitched in 346 innings, had 310 K’s and 30 complete games to win the Cy Young Award. Making this even more impressive is the fact his team, the Philadelphia Phillies, finished in last place in their division - 37.5 games out of first. Their record was 59-97. Carlton nearly accounted for half of his teams wins.

The 4 QB’s to beat all 32 current franchises are Manning, Favre, Brees and Brady. My guess is Rodgers needs to beat the Packers.

I remember watching Secretariat race - he was an incredible machine. Still holding all 3 records 51 years later is mind boggling. There have been 153 winners since and not one could top Secretariat.

I started following the NFL in the 70’s. You had Bradshaw (4 Super Bowl wins), Roger Staubach, Bob Griese, Ken Stabler and Fran Tarkenton. The 80’s were better - Montana, Marino, Elwayand Jim Kelly.
The thing is, rules have changed so much it’s hard to compare. Receivers are so much better and deeper now too.

Not sure it qualifies as a shootout scene but the ending of The Godfather where Michael takes out Moe Green, etc is about as good as it gets. Also the end of Unforgiven. Some good shootout scenes in Bonnie and Clyde.

If they all retired right now - Lamar, Burrow & Allen. Who goes to the HOF? Given he has 2 MVP awards, Lamar would probably be the most likely. Only Burrow has been to a Super Bowl. Allen hasn’t even made a conference championship. Honestly I think all of them need a few more outstanding seasons before you start talking HOF.

I have no problem with Lebron - pretty amazing story, actually. But if I had to start a team and could pick any player in the history of the NBA in his prime, it would be Magic Johnson. I saw him play in person when I was at Ohio State and he lived up to his name, he made everyone around him better.
