This one drove me nuts for a little bit, because I could hear it, and it finally popped into the ol' memory bank: "I Feel Good" by James Brown.
Is the title "It's In His Kiss?" I'm thinking this one has an odd title. (something like "The Shoodoop Song," or something close! ๐). I know Cher did a cover of it, but was thinking this was originally done by one of the female Motown groups...maybe The Supremes?
Happy 2023!

Yes, an interesting choice...Smarty Jones! I'm not a huge horse-racing fan, but one of my sisters follows it pretty closely and she was certain than Smarty Jones would win the Triple Crown that year. I remember it being a shock when he didn't win the Belmont.
Yes...I remember watching that game on TV. I almost turned it off, but didn't...what a game that ended up being. That game illustrated the weakness of the "run & shoot" offense back then...Houston just could not run out the clock (I think I remember Buddy Ryan, the defensive coordinator for the Oilers, punching Kevin Gilbride, who was the offensive coordinator, during that game). Frank Reich was the Buffalo back-up QB...I think he started because Jim Kelly was hurt and couldn't play. What a game he ended up having. One of the craziest, wildest games I've ever watched.
Seรฑor Smoke...I had forgotten that was his nickname! ๐ I loved the video...he was a lot of fun to watch pitch. Thank you for that!
Yes, Puckett's post-baseball career was sad. Seeing him up close in person was something...he had about the oddest shape of a professional athlete that one will ever see. He wasn't that tall and almost looked like he was fat. But what a player he was (I believe I read an article that, as short as he was--around 5'7" or 5'8"--he could slam-dunk a basketball). I've always wondered if part of his troubles post-baseball were because he was taking steroids or performance-enhancing drugs and if that affected him. I remember he had to prematurely retire because of a severe case of glaucoma in one of his eyes. He was a lot of fun to watch play.
Hrbek was a big guy in person. It was interesting to watch him take batting practice...he hit these screaming line drives that just kept carrying over the fence. Those Twins' teams were a lot of fun to watch.
Yes, my dogs do. They run upstairs and try to hide. 4th Of July season is always rough when the neighbors start shooting fireworks.
Yes, I agree about both the Vikings and the Twins. The Vikings just didn't seem to have much luck in the Super Bowl.
Regarding the 1987 Twins...my college baseball team got to see the Twins up close during Spring Training in Orlando the next season. It was so great to see all the players and Tom Kelly (the manager). Kirby Puckett (RIP) took batting practice and kept hitting these high "moonshots" to dead center field. He signed every autograph request afterward. My best friend at the time asked Kent Hrbek for an autograph, but Hrbek declined (he was getting to head into the batting cage and I think was concentrating on his upcoming BP). The Twins also had a relief pitcher back then named Juan Berenguer, who threw extremely hard (I think his fastball was clocked at 98 MPH back then). I got to stand near his catcher while he was throwing off a bullpen mound...to this day, I don't know how someone can hit .300 facing someone throwing that hard. The pop of that catcher's mitt was something I'll never forget.
Awesome! I don't watch the NBA much anymore, but it's interesting how certain athletes just become such a huge part of your life. Johnny Bench was like that for me as a kid. Kobe had such a presence about him....great player for sure.
Awesome! I drove thru St. Louis a couple of times on my way to/from Oklahoma back in the late 80s. I loved seeing the Gateway Arch!
Those Rams' teams were so much fun to watch. I loved Orlando Pace when he was at OSU and he had a great NFL career also. I liked Kurt Warner a lot as well.
Yes...I can understand that. FYI, I actually was a Lakers fan in the 80s...those teams were so much fun to watch (I switched to the Bulls in the 90s). Hard to believe that Kobe will soon be gone 3 years...he had such great form on his jump shot. RIP. ๐ข
Yes...I can remember watching the conclusion of that game after coming home from school (back when they played "day baseball" more often in the playoffs, including the World Series). A tough loss for Expos' fans.
Interesting choices! Yes, those Detroit teams were so good...I imagine it had to be frustrating to be a Blues' fan during that time!
Regarding the Cardinals'...I'm curious how you felt about the Rams winning it all for St. Louis in 1999?
Ouch! Two tough losses there!
I agree 100%! I love their extended version of "Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You)." A very talented band for sure!
Yes...the pastor of our church at that time was a big Bears fan. I believe that was Peyton Manning's first SB win, if I remember correctly.
Yes...one of my sisters lives in the Atlanta area and we were all pulling for the Falcons also. You could just tell how that game was going to end after a certain point!
Love this song and band: "Space Age Love Song" by A Flock Of Seagulls. Love the guitar playing in this song!
"Moonshadow"--Cat Stevens
