Damn about Charles Haley! I'm surprised he didn't get flagged more often for lining up in the neutral zone.

Jordan was always in AC during those Knicks playoff series on off days . I don’t think stern would suspend him though .
The Ewing one I believe.

A friend of my father said years ago, he was in AC one evening and was watching a Sixers-Bulls game on TV at a casino bar. Game ended and he went to gamble. A couple hours later, in strolls Jordan with a small entourage and was whisked away to a private gambling room.

I believe that back then, 2 offensive players couldn't touch a passed ball. The Raiders contend (to this day) that Jack Tatum, who hit Frenchie Fuqua, didn'touch the ball. The officials saw it differently.

I remember it oppositely. Isn't that the rule now, but not then?

I once heard that a Knicks game against the Utah Jazz was rained out or something and Anthony Mason returned home to his wife/girlfriend in bed with a famous rapper. The rapper heard him coming and staged it as a robbery and made off with a lot of cash. Bonus points for anyone else that has heard this.

Man that was in the rap song, never said it was AM though.

Boggs' 50 beers thing? I thought he shot that down himself?? Even if you're counting from the post-game locker room to the hotel in the new city... how can anyone's bladder hold that much liquid in that short a time.... you know how many times he'd have to pee?

I believe it more with Andre the Giant, his abnormally large proportions would allow him to hold a lot more than a typical person, but Boggs wasn't a big dude.

shhhhhhhhhh- many on this board will believe anything they hear. 50 beers on a max 6 hour time period. OK- even if they counted the moment a game ended. 4 per hour for 12 hours - and he was far from a big guy. I don't think you can even do that with water.

Link below from NFL.com

"The ball ricocheted backward and the central mystery of the play -- of NFL history, really -- is whether the ball hit Tatum or Fuqua to send it flying 7 yards. If it hit Fuqua, the play, by the rules of the day, should have been over. If it hit Tatum, the play was live."


Immaculate reception rule

I heard this about Robert Parrish of the Celtics. Would walk out of the shower with a towel around his shoulders and a massive member.

It would not be overturned with replay because it is not clear and convincing whether he touched the ball ornot

RU QB repeatedly got his bell rung playing behind a historically bad o-line, then followed his girlfriend to Arizona. He ended up being NFL-level talent, so our loss.

That's not a rumor, that's fact mixed with fiction.

Wade Boggs confirmed it. It was actually 107 in 24hrs. Whether it’s true is another story, but a lot of other people confirm it too.

Mike McQueary bet on the Rutgers-PSU game in the Meadowlands, and it’s why he audibled and threw the deep TD that covered the spread (and set Graber off).

Yes they had some run...Burke was super cool...Another funny one...I was fairly close with him and when they traded him to Hartford we stayed in touch...So the Devils were playing against them away. I drove up for the game and was sleeping over his house...Sat with his wife and the Devils proceed to score like 5/6 goals in the first period and they yanked him!!! We go back to the house have a few beers and he turns the TV on and ESPN is on. Next thing they show - 4 goals and him being yanked!!!

Rick tocchet beat eric lindros up because lindros was sleeping with another players wife
Click to expand...
This one has more to it. Lindros already had concussion problems, and then Tocchet beat him up. He then missed a lot of time from the mysterious concussion he got at practice. Was concussion from the beating? Was it fake diagnosis? Not sure.

The players wife was fan favorite Rod Brindamour. He was later traded to Carolina.

According to accounts Lindros had quite a sense of entitlement and let his God given talents of size, strength and skills go to his head. Didn’t he also get busted for pouring beer on a woman at a bar? Plus refusing to sign with the Nordiques when they drafted him.
Scotty Stevens was always good for taking him down a peg

Two stories on Gretzky and Mess…
1 Gretzky- asked him for his stick for my cousin the first year I worked there. He went in to the showers where they were came back and said “sorry I only have 5 left and 4 more games on this road trip “
I of course said no problem! Year after devils visit Edmonton. Following year they come back. Without asking him, he sees me, goes in the shower and comes out and signs the stick before handing it to me!!!!! If u really think about that it’s crazy. All the cities he visited in Between for 2 years and the countless people that ask for his stick to remember I had asked was simply shocking. All class

2. Rangers win cup in 94’ - long story short, I snuck in to the garden in my nhl sweatsuit I wore at the meadowlands. My cousin (huge ranger fan) paid an electrician leaving $20 for his “all access” pass…since I worked for the rangers equip Mgr when they came to NJ he let my other cousin (brother of first cousin) and I in the locker room after they won. Partied, drank out of the cup, until the guards cleared the media out and then said “family only” as we started to leave Messier yelled over at the guard and said “no, they can stay, they r with me”. Then called me over and said “please tell Kenny (Danako - they were great friends) I’m thinking of him tonight and he will get his soon).

The immaculate reception. 70s steelers raiders playoff game Terry Bradshaw throws a pass, hits of Frenchie Fuqua bounces backwards with Franco Harris catching the deflection and running down the sidelines to score a touchdown near the end of the game and steelers win. The officials new the play was illegal and went over to head of security and informed them if we throw and a flag and call back the touchdown these fans are going to kill us. How many security guards or cops can you get us to exit the field and stadium? The person in charge said 6. The officials said 6 cops, well 6 points for Pittsburgh. No flag thrown and steelers win and I believe go on to win superbowl. Replay takes it out of onsite officials and call would have been overturned.

Steelers lost to Miami the following game.

Same with Greg Olson. Players rap song at Miami was Greg with the third leg
 
Not a rumor but always found this story crazy..

Melanie Brodeur filed for divorce during the 2003 playoffs amid reports that Devils goalie Martin Brodeur was having an affair with Genevieve Nault, the wife of Melanie's brother. The incident was referred to by opposing fans during the playoffs. The reports proved to be true, as he and Genevieve married in June 2008.
