Yankees off to a winning start

QOTD- Cowboys v. Packers 1967 Freeze Bowl…because I was there.

Fun episode GV. I think you liked the Oakville more.

Happy Passover to you all!!

Am I commenting a day in advance? Friday I cited the 1995 Sampras v. Agassi US Open Final.

Too bad I was born in 1979 and couldn’t appreciate the 1980 Borg v. McEnroe. I’ll have to check ESPN Classic.

Dug the episode….Best head to head? Probably Forest Griffin Vs. Stephan Bonnar HANDS DOWN! yay ufc. and yay wine…well learning…

Hey … I like Mother Earth.

QOTD: Without a doubt the best head to head I’ve ever been a part of was a 2001 Hanzell Chardonnay and a 2003 Domaine Serene Cote Sud Chardonnay. In a group of 8 it was a complete split and a close call for many of us. Amazing wines…I’m still thinking the Domaine Serene won simply for QPR though….and Oregon wines just plain rock.

GV,
Never had a Pine Ridge. There are so many good wines out there, hard to taste them all. Unless you own an wine store and get to do it for TV!!! QOTD: Ali: Frazier 1 in the Garden. An absolute classic. # 2 would be the Ali Foreman Rope a dope stunner.

Nice Episode Gary.
QOTD – Well this has got to a two pronger…..best head to head match I have seen has got to be Jordan vs. Bird in that horse game that was on TV about 10 years ago. Those guys are crazey. Best head to head ever is us playing a little one on one…but I know it will never happen cause you fear me Gary! YOu fear my outside three, my tear drop, my hook, my Kevin McHale up and under. To be honest, I don’t blame you.

G,
You made my wife REAL happy she loves Pine Ridge!:D
But she drinks the Chenin Blanc & Viognier blend.
QOTD: Gary vs Kahuna in the battle of cholesterol of course!

Gary,
No wristband today? Anyway a great episode but in the event of a tie shouldn’t there be overtime or a shootout?
QOTD Patrick Roy and Mike Vernon

QOTD: “The Fight of the Century” – Ali and Frazier. I wish there were fighters like this still today.

Great episode. Wish I had known of them yesterday, I could have visited them when I was in Napa Valley. Oh well, next time!

(Only 25 days until the draft!)

QOTD: Late 90’s Goldberg vs. Hollywood Hogan(the bad guy, not Hulk)

QOTD: Anybody know what happened to Goldberg?

QOD: Oh man Gary, I got 3, Bret Hart vs Mr. Perfect – Summerslam 1991, Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels – Wrestlemania 1996, and my 10 month Irish Wolfhound play wrestling an 11 month old Great Dane at the dog park about 2 months ago.

go Sox!

wait… losing to the Royals on opening day?

QOTD – KING KONG V. GODZILLA (1962)

2006 NCAA Football Championship Game. I go to Florida, so for me that was the single best football game I have ever seen. For us to show all the doubters how good of a team we are, and how crappy and overrated the “unbeatable” OSU team was; that was awesome. And, come to think of it, there is a certain basketball game on tonight…featuring the same two teams…and I believe we are going to show who dominates in all sports.

Go Gators!!!!

Tie??? There are not ties in baseball!!!

QOTD: 1980 Olympics, Hockey Semi-Final. USA vs. USSR. “Do you believe in miracles? Yes!”

Is it just me, or did the demise of the Soviet Union and US pro athletics destroy the Olympics? I’m sure our Belorussian Wine Guy is personally happy with the communist’s demise, but it really made the Olympics less dramatic. Ah yes…yearning for the return of the cold war and riviting Olympic Games…

Yet another classic, Gary. 🙂 I’ll never look at a juice box the same again.
QOTD: I have to go with Bugs Bunny versus Elmer Fudd. C’mon.

Lars beat me to it! USA vs USSR Olympic hockey 1980…it’s the first Olympics I remember clearly.

QOTD: How about some horses? Affirmed vs. Alydar in the 1978 Triple Crown.

QOTD: How about some horses? Affirmed vs. Alydar in the 1978 Triple Crown.

1815: Napoleon Bonaparte vs Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo. EPIC!!!!

More on the QOTD:
I think Tennis probably has some of the most compelling H2H matches.
Australian Open: 2003 Qtr’s Roddick v El Aynaoui (Roddick won: 4-6, 7-6, 4-6, 6-4, 21-19 and I was VERY tired going to work on 3h sleep)
Australian Open: 2006 Semi’s Baghdatis v Nalbandian (Baghdatis won: 3-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4)
US Open: 2006 2nd rnd Baghdatis v Agassi (Agassi won: 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 5-7, 7-5)
