I did stop and then book dissected every fucking word instead of my actual point, which I already explained. Nothing I said dissected what you said. I added detail so that anyone who read what you said knew what his history as a repeat iffender actually meant, and whether that history was reasonable to consider when people want to assess whether that history would be an influence on how they felt in the moment. You then flew off the handle. Yes, I flew off the handle, and this surprises you how?

West German soccer international Bernd Hoelzenbein, who captained Eintracht Frankfurt to their first UEFA Cup win in 1980 (with yours truly present in "Waldstadion"/Forest Stadium) and won the World Cup with the West German squad in 1974, passed away yesterday at age 78 after a long bout with dementia. R.I.P. (More in the soccer thread)

A baseball manager I will always remember, probably the most, from my youth. He was a great interview RIP!

Damn but I hated his teams, but he was a creative manager who knew how to use the players on his roster. I didn't always like his innovative ideas but had to respect his ability to think the game better than most. And what a great baseball name. RiP Whitey.

Racist, not Whitey, though...no, he was a great manager and Cards teams were freaking speed merchants. Not power hitters, won with good baseball and good pitching.

Loved Dickies guitar licks. Wrote “Ramblin’ Man”, “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed,” and "Jessica". One of my favorite country and blues guitarists.
Rest in Power!

"Ramblin' Man" is one of my all-time favorites, I simply love to sing along and do the harmonies in the chorus. R.I.P.

Bob Cole passed away on Wednesday, aged 90. R.I.P. By all accounts I've heard (that weren't memorial), he was a strange dude who never left the Rock, flying to Toronto to do games and then home again. And a diva who could be extremely nasty to the peons around him, and who apparently had a habit of taking his pants off in the booth if he got uncomfortable. Imagine doing that at your place of work now. He's hard to historicize, but that he deserves to be placed in hickey history is praise. I see him as one of the key players in play by play guys having a bias in their calls. Local guys usually had some, but Cole was pronouncedly pro Laffs. Even Dick Irvin doing colour was less pro Canadiens than Cole was pro Laffs. I hate that trend. Great skill at calling the game though.

Bob Cole passed away on Wednesday, aged 90. R.I.P. If you don't have anything nice to say... Of course, I admire the career and can also sense that he meant more to the Candadian viewers who saw a lot more of him than me. Personally, I couldn't stand him calling games.

There's sort of a Forrest Gump thing to Cole because he was the radio voice of the Summit Series in Canada. I was didn't mind the younger version before the 1990s but have no real emotional attachment to him or his style of call. One of my oldest friends and I like to imitate his call of the famous Lemieux one vs. the world goal against Minnesota in the Final because he sounds like something is happening prematurely - followed by the "oh baby!" So you know - not exactly honoured.
EDIT: I was trying to remember the baseball parallel and my brain wasn't working - it's Ernie Harwell calling the Bobby Thomson walk off homer with excellent reserve only to get Pipped by history and Hodges's explosive call.
