Q: You’re one of the most polished, politically correct athletes I’ve ever dealt with. Now say something controversial.
A: Let’s see … I can probably go with … I had this conversation with people — if we landed on the moon, how come we’ve never been back? I think there might be some conspiracy stuff to that.
Q: You do?
A: We haven’t been back, it’s been [43] years, technology’s all gotten better, and I’ve actually looked that one up a little bit and saw something on the NASA website and it said something that that space shuttle that was made back then is no longer made any more. They’re making one now, but it costs $30 billion to be able to go there. And we’re constantly coming back, you always hear of spaceships landing: oh, so-and-so just got back from its mission … where’d they go, you know? No one else in the world has ever been, so…

Of course we did go back...several times.
When he played for the Tigers there was a minor controversy over his choice to have an official photo taken with the Ty Cobb statue.
He said that for every story about Cobb’s racism there are a half dozen more that disprove it. He said he really didn’t care one way or the other because Cobb was the greatest man ever to play the game.
The information about the formation of the solar system, the earth and the moon was great. I’d like us to go again certainly, the science would justify the expense.
Why are you posting thiese crap, tabloid articles?
Are you trying to discredit FR now that you have been run off the political threads?
Up until he starts babbling about the space program....with regards to that the man is a moron
He doesn’t even believe that we launch people to the ISS.....read his last drifting sentence carefully
Another jealous hijacking of a thread?
Really more of a lack of knowledge combined with street chatter.
I suspect he could learn why if someone were to really sit down and go over it with him.
Why are you stalking Nick from thread to thread? I disagree with nick on some things, but he can post what he wants.

“Cobb was the greatest man ever to play the game.”
Take away the racism and Cobb was still a jackass, even by the norms of his day. But he was a hell of a player.
Ok Buddy lol
Now that you have admitted your hatred, how is that working for you?
Oh, not at all? Lol
Too bad. You must feel a boat load of anxiety right about now. Lol
Does your failing affect your paycheque troll? Or do you get .50 c per post no matter what?
Thought so.
As a Detroit Tigers fan, I’ve always liked Curtis Granderson. Wish he was still playing for Detroit.
Sorry, there are a lot of conservatives that aren’t going to go away because you pop up and try to bully them.
Right now there are a LOT of players I wish were still playing for Detroit.
Oh, who are you?
You certainly seem to have alot of different screen names Nick.
How about you quit trashing FR?
How about you quit posting tabloid trash now that you have been run off the political threads?
What the eff, dude... this is the second thread contaminated with your cut and paste spew. You need to give CTRL-V a rest.
Give it a rest.
