    "Caddy Shack"=GREATNESS

    If you ever get a chance so see the 20 year re-union...it is a must-see.

    Most of Chase's and Murray's big scenes are totally ad-lib.

    For instance...

    Scene where he's "commentating" and whacking the flowers..."It's in the hole".

    All the script says is "Carl hits flowers with rake."

    I'd like to see that. Actually, while I believe that they get along now, I heard that back in their SNL days, these two didn't get along so well (moreso with Chase and Jim Belushi). Not that it matters anymore, but it would have been great if they'd stayed together on SNL for another couple of years. With the possible exception of the cast from '86-89, I'd have to think that the early years of SNL were the best.

    d) Which famous US born NHL player appeared in episodes of "Guiding Light", "HACK", and "Arli$$"?

    g) Which NBA HOFer would appear in an episode of "Fame" (in the episode "Heritage"), as well as currently hold his own radio show in the Bay Area?


    h) Which legendary MLB coach would appear in an episode of "WKRP", having his own radio spot?

    Bill Murray is great CaddyShack is a must-have, but I didn't know there was a 20-year reunion?

    Lost In Translation was really funny for the first 30 minutes - and then the rest of the movie sucked. I was so looking forward to that movie and I left so disappointed...

    As for the trivia - I've been away from American TV and radio too long LOL... not a chance I can answer any question but g) Rick Barry, and only because you made mention of him earlier LOL.

    I can remember watching the first ever episode of SNL in 1975! Dan Aykroyd's "Bass-O-Matic" was hysterical! I couldn't believe he turned on the blender! And John Beluchi's bee was good, but I like the Samurai sandwich maker better. The show has good moments these days but the early years were much funnier. I guess after 30 years or so the material all gets used. Except for Bush and Clinton.

    Hello good people,

    I've been away for the past few days, visiting my family back home (Spearmaster, I'm closer to Daffy's time-zone than yours... and it's been a LONG time since I've been in this time-zone).

    Sorry about the delay, and now I've got the answers.

    But before getting to that, I have Spearmaster and Daffy's final scores.

    - Spearmaster = 10%

    - Daffy = 50%

    Just joking gentlemen. Actually, most of Daffy's guesses weren't far off the mark. And technically, since Spearmaster only tried guessing for one, he did in fact go 1/1, thus earning a final result of 100%... sorta'.


    10 Questions



    a) Which famous quarterback (and HOFer) would appear in an episode of "Beverly Hills 90210", showing-up in the Walsh's yard for a little touch football.

    - Steve Young



    b) Which famous NBA legend would appear in 2 episodes of ABC hit series "Different Stokes", as Arnold Jackson's teacher (as well as episodes of "Mannix", "Emergency!", and "The Man From Atlantis")?

    - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar



    c) Which famous and current MLB star appeared in episodes of both "Arli$$" and "Beverly Hills 90210"?

    - Barry Bonds



    d) Which famous US born NHL player appeared in episodes of "Guiding Light", "HACK", and "Arli$$"?

    - Jeremy Roenick



    e) Which famous NFL quarterback appeared in an episode of the CBS hit sitcom "Kate & Allie"?

    - Joe Namath



    f) Which famous child star (now hottie and "still" famous) had dated former NHL-prospect Wayne McBean and current MLB hurler Carl Pavano?

    - Alyssa Milano



    g) Which NBA HOFer would appear in an episode of "Fame" (in the episode "Heritage"), as well as currently hold his own radio show in the Bay Area?

    - Rick Barry



    h) Which legendary MLB coach would appear in an episode of "WKRP", having his own radio spot?

    - Sparky Anderson



    i) Which NFL All-Pro (7 times) linebacker and HOFer would play the role of the diner owner Ed Klawicki on the series "My Two Dads".

    - Dick Butkus



    j) Which famous ESPN announcer and HOF infielder appeared in an episode of "Married With Children"?

    - Joe Morgan



    Some thoughts:


    It's surprising that Lew Alcindor/Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played in so many movies/TV programs considering that he was quite famous for never speaking with the media. I'd have thought that Magic Johnson would have accepted a ton of roles already, but it very well be that Kareem has appeared in the most amount of film stock of any "Superstar" athlete (just a guess).


    I guess you could technically say that Barry Bonds also played in the movie "The Fan" (lol). It may have been Wesley Snipes we saw on the big screen, but there's no way in the world that it wasn't intended to be about Barry Bonds (loosely anyway).


    I liked Daffy's guess of Brett Hull (who has born in the U.S., but grew-up in Canada). But J.R. has been popping-up in quite a few TV programs so far, and I'd assume we'll be seeing more and more of him in the near future.


    While I suppose you might have heard a little about Alyssa Milano dating Carl Pavano his last year with the Marlin's, she had dated Wayne McBean waaayyyyyy back in the late-80's. McBean, not a memorable player to say the least, was once a highly touted 1st round draft pick of the Los Angeles Kings. I seem to recall that they were once engaged, but I could be wrong.


    I guess the Rick Barry guess was a gimme...


    I know that Daffy has seen that episode of WKRP. I think Sparky did one helluva job in his spot. That was a pretty good episode as well. He could have done more TV/movies if he wanted to.


    I suppose Dick Butkus has done lots of TV over years.


    And Joe Morgan regularly does Sunday Night's Game Of The Week for MLB. Probably the games greatest 2nd baseman, as well as the best little player in sports history, and while certainly entertaining as a commentator, not necessarily a very wise one.

    When Daffy said "Sparky Anderson", I knew I had seen that spot before - and as for "Different Strokes" I remember seeing that too. But that was some time ago. And I didn't have any clue about the others, hence no guesses

    I hope you're enjoying your stay Stateside - and congrats on making Casinomeister's esteemed list

    By now the NFL draft list is available - I guess Daffy isn't too surprised that Vince Young is #1 on SI's list, nor am I. But to see 3 out of the top 5 being USC players (Leinart, Bush and White) was something special. Don't know how well any of them will fare in the NFL though, though I think Young will be a future star for sure.

    I didn't think much of Carson Palmer either - and so far he hasn't stolen the limelight yet...

    I'm off to London on Sunday to meet up with lots of good people from this forum, and I'm really looking forward to it. Fortunately, flying to Europe and back has never had a significant effect on my internal clock - unlike flying to the US where everything goes topsy-turvy - so hopefully I will still be taking part here while I'm away

    Kobe 81 in a game? Simply outrageous!

    I hope I can find that game on tape somewhere... that will probably lock his HOF place for good.

    Kobe 81 in a game? Simply outrageous!

    Agreed.

    Actually, it seems as though he's capable of going-off for 100 this year. Do I think he'll do it? No. Can he? Yes.


    Looking at Kobe's career, if he ever finally reached Michael Jordan levels, it would have to be this year. He's reminding me of when Jordan came back from his injury riddled '85-86 campaign, to score over 37 points per contest in '86-87.

    Never mind yesterday's game, the amount of 40 point games that he's been getting this year, the way he's been carrying himself (like an MJ clone in interviews), and that he's finally willing his team to win (rather than JUST scoring).

    The 3 important things for him to still improve on are:


    - Leadership. Actually, scoring 81 in a game might be enough to get those around him to drop at their knees. But seriously, despite Jordan's teammates generally not caring for the man's tirades, they REALLY respected him, and wanted to do their best to help the Bulls win. The LAKERS's players aren't completely on that page yet.


    - Defense. Kobe, when he wants to, can play awesome (lock-down) defense. The problem is, that he doesn't always do that. He used to while the LAKERS were in the middle of their 3-peat, but he's gotten away from that over the past 3-years. Jordan, for all of his scoring exploits, ALWAYS played awesome defense (and Pippen as well... and yes, Dennis Rodman). If Kobe's not going to bust his ass on D, I can't see the other softies around him willing to do the same thing. That's where leadership skills come into the picture.


    - Trust. Kobe doesn't trust his players enough. Okay, he's a hog who probably wants to score each basket. But I think that in part, if he were surrounded by better players, he might be more willing to pass. Actually, Kobe could still score 30 per game even if he passed the ball around more. People don't realize this, but putting the triangle offense in full-motion, would create more space and more opportunities for Kobe to get his shots off. As it stands, literally half of his shots are forced (and yes, he has that uncanny ability to score ANYWHERE on the floor), and he has to struggle too much to get those shots off. If he got open more often, he could probably conserve his abundance of energy, and use more of it on the defensive end.


    While many observers (arm-chair fans) would likely take LeBron James over Bryant (seeing how he's 7-years younger than him), I wouldn't. James is a stats super-MONSTER, but he doesn't have Kobe's fire. Mind you, that fire has worked against him thus far in his career, but I see signs of Kobe making quantum leads in his game. James can't play D (lots of steals, but man-to-man he sucks), Kobe can probably contain anyone not named Vince, A-I, or T-Mac. And he can't contain them, as they could never contain him.


    Side note: The game is being replayed this morning on Canadian TV. They always replay Raptor's games the following day. Actually, I was going to tape the game (went out for drinks last night) because I've been pleasantly surprised that the Raptor's have shown signs of playing better ball as of late. Who knew that it would have become a historical game.


    Side note II: While Kobe's exploits will grab today's headlines, the Suns Vs. Sonics game last night, had both teams combining for over 300 pts!!! While the Suns have been great this year, it amazes me that over the past few weeks, that they've dropped 3 double-overtime games so far this year (if not more)!!! Unreal.


    P.S. Hope you're having a great time in Europe!
