Let's Remember Some Guys: 1992 Baseball Guys
We’re opening the coolest pack in the streets today on Let’s Remember Some Guys: 1992 Upper Deck! That means we got three times the Ken Griffey Jr. to remember, a bunch of utility guys with mustaches, and Nolan Ryan bonding with a child, all in a pack that our own David Roth calls “catcher-ful.”...

Let's Remember Some Guys: 1990 Basketball Guys
In this episode of Let’s Remember Some Guys, Tom Ley and I try to find treasure in a pack of 1990 Fleer basketball cards.

Let's Remember Some Guys: 1990 Basketball Guys
Walking baseball almanac David Roth and I have spent a lot of time remembering the vaguely known guys of the diamond, but today, we’re switching it up. While we’re sticking around in the same dawn-of-grunge/golden age of hip-hop era (the late ’80s and early ’90s), the shorts are shorter, and the ret...
Let's Remember Some Games
Earlier today, a random series of events brought to my mind the rap song from Donkey Kong 64. A great song, and a great game. Maybe you’ve forgotten about Donkey Kong 64 :( But now you remember it. Let’s remember some other video games:...
Let's Remember Some Guys: 1991 Football Guys
In this episode of Let’s Remember Some Guys, Tom Ley and I open a pack of 1991 football cards. We remember that time Mike Singletary coached the 49ers and pulled down his pants as motivation—he was still wearing underwear—and I struggle with Leo Goeas’s last name. And if that doesn’t whet your appet...
Let's Remember Some Guys: 1991 Fleer Pack Guys
We’re back for another episode of Let’s Remember Some Guys, in which our own David Roth continues his quest to procure from the depths of his memory at least one fact about every single baseball player that history has ever known....
Let's Remember Some Guys: "Baseball Legends"
In the first episode of Let’s Remember Some Guys, we learned that David Roth possessed a remarkable capacity to remember almost all early ’90s baseball players found on cards in a wax pack. But could he handle the off-brand, mysteriously vague “Baseball Legends” pack? The answer was an emphatic “Duh...
Let's Remember Some Guys: 1992 Guys
When you come into some unopened packs of early ’90s baseball cards, there’s not a whole lot you can do with them. You’re basically just out a few quarters—unless one of your joys in life is sitting on some vaguely retro furniture and trying to turn faint sparks of memory into fully formed remembran...
The Short Life And Neverending Afterlife Of Rush Limbaugh's Disastrous ESPN Stint<em></em>
There is a physical thing that happens to a certain type of Famous Terrible American, and once this thing begins happening it does not stop.

San Francisco Giants Will Remember A Guy

Let's Remember What The Internet Was Like When We Were Teens<em></em>
It’s Thanksgiving, which means you are using the internet to avoid talking to that uncle who really wants to give you his thoughts on the status of America and the aunt who doesn’t understand why you are still single. The internet may be our savior now, but remember when it used to suck?...
Let's Remember Some Vines
The app Vine is on its deathbed, which made me think about that Vine where that kid crosses over a baby on a basketball court. Maybe you’ve forgotten about Vine :( But now you remember it. Let’s remember some other Vines:...
Let's Remember Some Guys
This morning we were talking about some running backs we used to like, and I remembered that I really liked Stephen Davis. Maybe you’ve forgotten about Stephen Davis :( But now you remember him. Let’s remember some other guys:...
