Al Kaline, Dave Bing and Barry Sanders.....One never had to make excuses.

Coinstartled

3 men of integrity.

If you're not cheating, you're not trying...

I once saw Al Kaline wipe a booger on the railing of the dugout.

So you knew these guys personally??

Al Kaline's former Tigers teammate Denny sure as hell was no angel. You can just imagine how many baseball games of his own he bet on before the crap hit the fan and the mob came looking for his toes.
Dave Bing is one man but his team years later would physically beat players up on the court on the way to championships to the point the NBA had to start outlawing that type of play. You can thank Bill Laimbeer,Rick Mahorn,Dennis Rodman,James Edward & John Salley for the creation of the flagrant foul......if you ain't cheating you ain't trying.
Barry was all class,wished he could played for any other team who had an actual chance of making the playoffs. Same for Calvin Johnson.

McLain spent more stints in the Big House than Capone.

Yea, good ol' Dennis Rodman who cozies up to the North Korea dictator and mass murderer Kim Jong-un.

Do not forget Alex Karras.

That's right - he hit a poor innocent horse for no reason.

Dave Bing was long long gone before the Bad Boys.

He is a client of my son and I’m told he’s a real gentleman.

Bing was a decent mayor as well.

John Starks was a real dirty player for the Nick's. He would have fit right in with the Bad Boy's of Detroit.

He had a 14% approval rating towards fhe end. Decent is being kind. Most thought he sucked and those were his supporters.

Oh man.........it's hard to spell with her on your mind. ....must have been thinking about Basketball at the same time!

stevek

Plus i heard that she has a fetish for coin and card collectors.

It’s sort of charming. It’s also how we know no one has hacked your account. It’s sort of like Captcha. You are for sure not a robot

I have found that if you just solw down and profreed before you post you won't misspill so much.

He would just blame the misses on the suburbs.
