I know who Earl Campbell is, but I have no idea about whether or not he made it to the Superbowl before or after Bradshaw retired. In fact, I don't even know who Bradshaw is. Why? Because I'm a basketball fan. I could care less if football ceased to exist. I make this point because despite being painfully ignorant of other sports, I know basketball. Specifically, I know Rockets basketball - and that's all that matters on a Rockets forum. I don't know why you'd bring up football on a Rockets forum as if it's relevant. It's not.
^^^ right on! My point for the football analogy (which I hate on this bbs) was that Houston being a football town, if someone didn't know whether Earl Campbell made the Super Bowl, I'd assume he'd get laughed at as well. This is more a Basic Houston Sport Knowledge analogy than a football one. otherwise, right on...no football analogies please.
As much as I respect your threads and think they're important for HISTORY of Houston Rockets you're starting to be boring with them tinman. Why do you care that some anonymous stupid guy said some crap? There are tons of them, open your window man and you'll see them. Come and take a walk with me, I'll show you them. Who cares for things that never happened...
But WHO is really the sensitive one here? Just because some a**hole Bulls fan whose mother and father were probably brother and sister brings up that tired old "Jordan had retired" crap doesn't mean that it's actually true. Last time I looked, the NBA didn't come and take the two Larry O'Brien trophies from Houston because Jordan didn't get to play against the Rockets. So why should I or anyone else give a rat's ass about what he or any other Bull's fans thinks or says? Let them flap their lips in the breeze about Jordan all they want - we still have got the trophies and the rings.
Two more things: In 1983, Moses Malone predicted that the 76ers would go 4-5-4 in the playoffs to win the title and not fo-fo-fo. There's actually a song to that effect that goes" And Moses Malone said to Dr. J: my lucky number is fo-five-fo" Second: James Worthy got the standing "o" in the Summit for his being arrested in a prostitution sting carried out by the Houston Police in November 1990 when he called up an escort service that HPD had closed down. He was arrested in the afternoon but managed to show up for the game that night hence the (sarcastic) standing ovation from the Houston fandom. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE0DF1F30F935A25752C1A966958260
do a google search for Moses fo fo fo You have a lot of websites, dictionaries and encyclopedias disagreeing with you. Including nba.com (look at the title of this article) http://www.nba.com/finals2003/program_83sixers.html
