I became more a basketball fan, Sacramento Kings fan in the late 90's and early Ought years, until it came to light that refs fixed game 6 of the 2002 regional finals so the Lakers would win.

Now I am mostly oblivious to sports (where's the time?), except for the post season Dodgers, whom I think I jinxed by announcing "there's no way they can lose now" when we had a two run lead and Kershaw came in from the bullpen..

We might have crossed paths at Meadowlands. I lived in Jersey City in '83 (sublet from seasonal circus performers, haha) and NYC in 84-85 (worked at Tower Records in Lower Manhattan) and would take the bus out there for the Harness meets all the time. I'm not sure you could even bet other tracks at that point, but remember the fun of picking harness horses. Much more consistent..

I know...LOL...this thread was supposed to get no responses, to make a point, but hell..that's no fun.. wink



I was quite surprised The Dodgers didnt make it. Getting a little sick of the would be managers questioning Dave Roberts. Regardless of Kershaws troubles in the playoffs, nobody can convince me that using one of baseballs all time great pitchers is a bad move...it just didnt work out. That happens. Woulda been a classic series Yankees/Dodgers, the press woulda ate it up.

Back in 83 I hadnt hit puberty yet, just a week ago I finally reach it. Im stubborn.... LOL

I went to tower records many times, cross the tunnel. And I used to work in Jersey City.

Meadowlands now has legalized betting, which is like duh....everybodys been doing it all along anyway. Might as well regulate it.
