It's really lame when he gets on one of these claims of not hearing about stuff like this. You didn't need to be a fan when he was huge either, they had commercials every 10 seconds on every major sporting event.

This would be an example of why I am asking if he really said that and not listening. I got the forst 30 minutes and that was enough. Even though Terry did say "THERE IS SOMETHING" the Bulls dont do better than others, that they never get the top free agent.

And I agree.

Terry will be conducting a study and calling his people.

I believe Macho Man hailed from Downers Grove. There's some synergy there.

Savage's father, the legendary Angelo Poffo, was a gym teacher at Lane Tech by day, managed by Bobby "the Brain" Heenan by night.

What would you do if your nephew stared making the game analysis comments that Dan says his son makes?

Randy is (was) the older brother of Lanny.

Ballplayer as well ...

Savage was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals organization as a catcher out of high school. He was placed in the minor leagues to develop, where he mostly played as an outfielder in the St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds, and Chicago White Sox farm systems. Savage was 18 when he began playing minor league baseball; one of his teammates on the 1971 Gulf Coast League Cardinals was Larry Herndon who was also his roommate. Savage would swing a bat into a hanging car tire as a regular training exercise in order to strengthen his hands and make sure he utilized his legs during swings. The technique was so effective that Herndon adopted it and used it during his own career as a baseball coach.

Savage injured his natural (right) throwing shoulder after a collision at home plate, and he learned to throw with his left arm instead. The team was managed by Jimmy Piersall. Savage's last season was 1974, when he played for the Tampa Tarpons. He played 289 games in four minor league seasons, batting .254 with 16 home runs and 66 RBIs.

you could not be am American boy growing up in the 80s and not heard of The Macho Man. Wrestling was at it's highest visibility. He had national Slim Jim commercials. I think his handler was in playboy. That is a lot of direct advertising to a teenage boy he would have missed

It was right around the time of Savage's death. I cant find the thread but I cant have imagined that. Anyone else remember him saying it?

What would you do if your nephew stared making the game analysis comments that Dan says his son makes?


The key there is "THAT DAN SAYS HIS SON MAKES"

I watch a ton of games with my nephew, he plays baseball in a league, he plays catcher, we live in the same area , I would tell you that my nephew and Bernsteins kid are probably very similar and will become really good friends, but while my nephew asks a ton of questions and says things he knows about the game, I would never even try to hint at the fact he is anymore than just a kid that likes watching sports. He isn't the next Tony LaRussa is the making.

The guy wrecked his throwing shoulder and just learned to throw with the other arm? That's even more impressive than the Diving Double Axe Handle.

I'm pretty sure he did an understated impression of Savage shortly after reading his obituary.

Based on his commentary, it was clear that Bernstein was quite familiar with Savage.

Either it was reported here in error or it was another wrestler. I could have sworn it was Savage.

You also can't work with Jonathan Hood and not know who Randy Savage is. It's got to be a statistical impossibility.
