Inside Sports

I'm old/young enough to have subscribed to Inside Sports and Sporting News in college, as well as Details, Esquire and the local newspaper. I also bought at least two other papers everyday. It's a wonder my room didn't go up in flames 10 times.

 

When Cyndy Garvey spent the entire article shooting down the happy myth, I think there was some validity to the take. I will agree, though, that Jordan took too much time trying to paint the background.

 

Keep the redhead bashing to the Max Kellerman thread

 

Oh good. I'm not the only one who found 1,000 words describing the house to be a test of my ADD as well as my interest in what I was reading.

 

I remember the first Inside Sports issue I saw on the newsstands - it had Ken Reitz on the cover, and I was thrilled because the 11-year-old me thought Reitz was the shit back then.

Now I realize he was just shit.

 

Bashing the May 1977 NL Player of the Month. SMDH...

 

Inside Sports was great because, for what it was worth, they'd print words of which SI wouldn't get within a country mile. I recall a profile of Randy White of the Cowboys driving past someone broken down at the side of the road, rolling down the window and saying, "Need a lift? Stick a jack up your ass!"

I couldn't quote anything from SI.

 

Sorry. Nothing personal against redheads, women especially.
