Happy Gilmore 2 was fun. Good dose of nostalgia and I loved the cameos.

The wrestling fan in me wishes we had gotten Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Hulk Hogan
I met @Arda Öcal at the Stadium Series in Columbus. Then I found out he has the same bday as my mom. We did a pod last week, getting into a lot of NHL stuff, a story with Cuba Gooding Jr., and being a video game world record holder bio.site/williamchase willgchase.com/podcast/talkin…
Your drafts offer enough sports references to keep my not nerd level Star Wars fan husband interested while we were on a family drive. My faves were late round or undrafted and thanks to @Arda discovered a new horrifying machine of destruction that caught my teen's attention.

Happy big 60th up in Heaven, legend 🐐
Thinking of legendary ESPN anchor Stuart Scott, who would've turned 60 today. Stu's legacy endures in so many ways, including thru the @TheVFoundation's memorial cancer research fund that bears his name: bit.ly/3IBbDwg

Happy Birthday to the Nintendo Entertainment System - These are forever the two strongest characters in video game history. Not even a debate. Fact.


The Nintendo Entrertainment System was released for the very first time today in 1983 in Japan (called the Famicom, "Family Computer") Blades of Steel is better than Ice Hockey and here's why x.com/Arda/status/18…
The Nintendo Entertainment System was released in North America this week in 1985. In honor of this, I present to you the definitive answer to which hockey NES game is better: Ice Hockey or Blades of Steel.
Happy Birthday, Coach! We miss you around here. You were the first person to welcome me with open arms when the NHL came back to ESPN and took me under your wing. I will never, ever forget it. ❤️🏒
Happy birthday to hockey legend Barry Melrose, who played, coached and analyzed the game for 50 years - including a remarkable 27 as a top NHL analyst for ESPN, first joining the network in 1996. 'Barry's Bistro' remains one of the great SportsCenter segments. 🏒
