Nice view of Soto in the picture. ;-)

A lovely story:

One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who didn't whine, nag or bitch. That would be me....

But that was a long time ago and it was just that one day.

'Cause the whole idea, man, is subversion.

You want subversion on a massive level. You know what one of the greatest f***ing scripts ever written in the history of Hollywood is? Top Gun.

Top Gun is f***ing great. What is Top Gun? You think it’s a story about a bunch of fighter pilots. It is a story about a man’s struggle with his own homosexuality. It is! That is what Top Gun is about, man.

You’ve got Maverick, all right? He’s on the edge, man. He’s right on the f***ing line, all right? And you’ve got Iceman, and all his crew. They’re gay, they represent the gay man, all right? And they’re saying, go, go the gay way, go the gay way. He could go both ways.

Kelly McGillis, she’s heterosexuality. She’s saying: no, no, no, no, no, no, go the normal way, play by the rules, go the normal way. They’re saying no, go the gay way, be the gay way, go for the gay way, all right? That is what’s going on throughout that whole movie…

He goes to her house, all right? It looks like they’re going to have sex, you know, they’re just kind of sitting back, he’s takin’ a shower and everything. They don’t have sex. He gets on the motorcycle, drives away. She’s like, “What the f***, what the f*** is going on here?” Next scene, next scene you see her, she’s in the elevator, she is dressed like a guy. She’s got the cap on, she’s got the aviator glasses, she’s wearing the same jacket that the Iceman wears. She is, okay, this is how I gotta get this guy, this guy’s going towards the gay way, I gotta bring him back, I gotta bring him back from the gay way, so I’m do that through subterfuge, I’m gonna dress like a man. All right? That is how she approaches it.

All right, but the REAL ending of the movie is when they fight the MIGs at the end, all right? Because he has passed over into the gay way. They are this gay fighting f***ing force, all right? And they’re beating the Russians, the gays are beating the Russians. And it’s over, and they f***ing land, and Iceman’s been trying to get Maverick the entire time, and finally, he’s got him, all right? And what is the last f***ing line that they have together? They’re all hugging and kissing and happy with each other, and Ice comes up to Maverick, and he says, “Man, you can ride my tail, anytime!” And what does Maverick say? “You can ride mine!” Swordfight! Swordfight! F***in’ A, man!

Completely agree with that.

He deserved a ring. Great guy and wonderful player. Also glad I don’t have to listen to him broadcast tonight.

I'd be shocked if he didn't.

I don’t know what you’d dislike about him as a player. I shudder to think how many errors Dunston would have had without him…

I generally agree with Al

(like 99% of the time) but that was probably justified. The Cubs let him go, he wanted to stay in Chicago (IIRC) and then won a ring. I would have done the same thing.

i dont agree he rubbed it in anyones face

thats a lot like saying Chelios rubbed it in the hawks faces by bringing the Cup to Chicago when he won with Detroit. but that is why its an opinion.

also, i dont mind him as an announcer, i have heard much much worse (cough OTTO cough)
