Pete Rose Dead at 83
Obviously, sez so in the heading. But, we left the track on the curve and are headed for the canyon's bottom. Someone derailed it when they tried to defend the indefensible Rose in the Hall of Fame. Now the thread is simply entertainment for a few of us. Oh! IBTL- warren

Pete Rose Dead at 83
He lied about his betting. That's the real violation here. He denied his behavior. Over and over again for years. If he'd just admitted the behavior, took responsibility for his own behavior and accepted the consequences he'd have been reinstated years before his death. Instead he opted to...- warren

Cigar Air Purifiers - Do They Work
Of course not. The smoke particles adhere to paint, carpet, clothes, hair, everything. Some filters may mitigate a bit but, overtime your room will gain a distinctive reek. No way around it. Just enjoy as a well earned side benefit of smoking, the reek of stale smoke. Comes with the...- warren

Pete Rose Dead at 83
Pete found out he wasn't bigger than the game and that actions do indeed have consequences. A truly great player and a tragically flawed human being. He might have fared better if he hadn't lied to Baseball and, all of us for so long. Horning and Karras played the scene correctly and...- warren

A renaissance man if there ever was one. Great writer, good janitor, above average actor, helicopter pilot, not a great singer but, nobody interpreted his songs better than he did, Rhodes Scholar, veteran, and so forth. RIP Kris, gonna miss you with Willie in those corny westerns you two...- warren
