If you needed an excuse to listen to a slew of Sam & Dave tunes, today marks the 91st anniversary of Sam Moore's birthday (October 22, 1935 - January 10, 2025).

You got your wish.

...but far too many of the people who hate on NYC & LA have a problem with a polyglot society, and any time those towns win big, the Klan brigade have a socially acceptable manner to vent their prejudice.

But what if, in an alternate universe, the '84 Knicks draft Jordan, and then don't get Ewing? A whole lotta people would have begrudged NYC those 6 titles. A lot of people who'd deny that they're antisemitic, or racist, or immigrant bashers, or homophobes. Sure, some of those haters aren't bigots...

I have a short, noncontoversial take, and a longer hot one: I'm old enough to remember the '90s and nobody besides the Bulls' opponents rooted against MJ, he elevated the game with an unequaled mix of artistry, practiced chops, and competitive drive.

@thebombshelter.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 2:22 AM

Hey, he struck one out!

Whenever I hear people chant "Let's go Dodgers!" At a restaurant where they're playing the game on TV, I like to think they're giving the team power like how people gave Goku the power to use the spirit bomb

In the absence of faith, I have delusions.

He'd probably utter FCC violations in 3 different languages.

@thebombshelter.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 2:03 AM

Which is exactly why I want to see / hear him drop f-bombs on national TV and put the in-game interview charade to rest.

How come they never give the mike to Kiké Hernández?

I simply listened to Rick Monday, @stephennelson.bsky.social, and the rest of the AM570 KLAC crew.

@thebombshelter.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 7:02 PM

Blocked.

Yay!

If God wanted to get your attention, he'd play cymbals like Art Blakey. The greatest drummer of all time was born on October 10, 1919, and died in 1990. Check out his (not His) 1954 version of Charlie Parker's "Now's the Time."
