crackattack 513 Posted August 15, 2018 Post some what if moments in time. Can be any topics. Music, politics, individual icons, sports, etc. Just things you wonder what if?? A simple example: 1. What if Syd Barrett was mentally stable and never was ousted from Pink Floyd? Would they've been as big? The Wall? Roger Waters? Gilmour? 2. What if Kurt Cobain was still alive? Would we have gotten Foo Fighters? The great music from Dave Grohl? 3. What if the Cubs/Indians game 7 didn't have a rain delay killing the Indians momentum? Try not to turn it into a pissing political slap fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted August 15, 2018 1990 NFL Draft Jimmy Johnson had James Francis (LB/Baylor) tagged as the guy he wanted... Dallas was prepared to move up from 21 to 13 to take him - WHAT IF Cincinnati hadn't taken Francis at 12? Emmitt Smith would not have been drafted by Jimmy at 17, Emmitt Smith would have never been a Cowboy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emmitt Smith would not have been drafted by Jimmy at 17, Emmitt Smith would have never been a Cowboy. I like this one. What if the Colts took Ryan Leaf instead of Peyton Manning in the 1998 draft. Lot of experts thought Leaf was a better fit. Yikes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,631 Posted August 15, 2018 One that I constantly Tussle with in my head. There's a guy named Joe Couey who kidnapped raped and killed little girl named Jessica Lunsford. If it's even possible, I just gave you the soft version of what she went through. I want to say February 24th 2004. Right around then. Ultimately he was caught. But most of his confession was tossed because of that Miranda. Still, he ended up dying of ass cancer in prison maybe five or six years later. SOB probably got better health care then 70% of the country in that situation. And, as a result of the absolute horror that Jessica went through, man it's getting Dusty in here, they created Jessica's law which resulted in the adoption in one form or another of that law in about three dozen different state houses across the country. If she hadn't gone through what she went through, how many little girls like her would have gone through these things? Jessica's law really cracked down on sex offenders. Especially when it came to the youngest of the young. Always wondered. If I had the choice, do I forsake Jessica for a hundred other Jessica's? 1000? I still don't know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
