  1. NBA: The Difference a Trade Makes

    It very well could have been. Still something that would definitely go well with the comic strip World once he does that.
  2. NBA: The Difference a Trade Makes

    I remember Shaquille O'Neal doing at least a Ride Along as a policeman, though as I look it up I realize it was when he was in Los Angeles and not Orlando. Either way, this needs to be a story sequence of at least two weeks in a jump start comic strip now, considering that the comic about the...
  3. National Unity 1980: A John Anderson Presidency

    What's the hostage crisis sparking my going from following local to National politics as a 10-year-old, the 1980 election was really interesting to me in our timeline. This would really be fascinating and would probably allow me to understand a lot faster how some of those conventions could have...
  4. NBA: The Difference a Trade Makes

    This offseason also will feature the Dream Team in the 1992 Olympics. I wonder if the same players will appear in this timeline? I don't recall for sure but I think Larry Bird played and with him retiring a year early I don't know if he would be on it. Then again, he doesn't have as many rings...
  5. Sports What Ifs.

    The 1987 Redskins' Super Bowl win, 1 of 3 by Joe Gibbs, wouldn't change a lot for their team if someone else won. Karryl Green and Art MOnk and others still are Hall of Famers (and I'll still be unsure if I'm spelling Green's name right), certain people obviously have Super Bowl rigns and make...
  6. Triple Calamity: What if the Three Most Important Men in the Executive Branch Died in One Night?

    A woman in my dorm at college was named Lincoln and went by that; her last name was Kennedy so you can tell them were going for the Presidential naming thing. Still, Link makes sense as a nickname. I think it's generational, too; there's probably an ebb and flow to who gets what names. I seem...

    If the Braves don't move there, Say they move out to California, it would be a good place for Washington, Calvin Griffith, keeping them till 1984 removes a lot of Bud Selig's prestige so he can't take over in the early 90s. He had almost 15 more years to pal around with baseball owners in our...
  8. Sports What Ifs.

    He trying to group to buy someplace. But the Athletics in this scenario are richer and can get a better Stadium eventually. What him buy Washington instead of Bob Short or whoever owned it before then. Then a few years of his threats later expansion can douse any possible relocation. Well...
  9. Sports What Ifs.

    Arnold Johnson would still have his heart attack in early 1960, but a richer team. Only a couple years removed from the World Series with attract other owners. Perhaps Ewing Kaufman buys them early instead of getting the expansion team. Or Charlie Finley buys them but they are seen as a richer...
  10. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    Yes, I think this was the era of doctor whatever'ss little liver pills, anyone could just go around giving anything and claiming it was a miracle cure. And yet they understanding of what illnesses there were was growing so fast that people almost had to believe them if they did not have access...
  11. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    One more from Dr. Da Costa for now, with a note at the end. The medical assistant smiled at the boy, probably around fourteen, despite the lad's scowl in return. "Dr.Da Costa tells me that you are still having some hallucinations, Andrew?" "Why should I talk to you?" The boy grumbled and...
  12. NBA: The Difference a Trade Makes

    Congratulations to Michael Jordan. It will be interesting to see how many he can win with this group. I don't remember a lot about these Knicks players accept that nickname of "never nervous" Pervis. Meanwhile, John Stockton and Patrick Ewing together is really amazing. I just skim the non...
  13. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    One other interesting thing I just thought, muscle memory was not really examined as a thing for another Century because the idea of the brain being entirely chemicals and stuff and bearing the responsibility of the entire body took precedence. But with a few athletes involved it is possible...
  14. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    You're welcome. Yeah, when people start wondering why certain groups of blacks want to separate for a while, that may cause further study into the idea of these imprints. Because even for me with a touch of Asperger's, especially when younger, such things were a little confusing. Because after...
  15. Sports What Ifs.

    Don Larsen lost a game in the 1956 World Series before his perfect game. Suppose that he hurts his arm or something. And the Dodgers win games 5 and then game 6. This then leads to The Shocker of all shockers in 1958. Arnold Johnson was basically being used by the Yankees as a farm club with...
  16. So Evident a Danger: The Consequences of War between Britain, Prussia and Russia in 1791

    Quite a few negotiations will have to occur, including bringing back the normal years instead of just making it year one of the revolution, I would think. Of course Charles I loss his head anyway, so it won't be a direct comparison, but I wonder if some will liken this more to the English civil...
  17. Sports What Ifs.

    NBA free agency began around 1990. But then again, he could also request a trade - they could get a whole slew of picks and some players for himif a team that is near conention happens to have a down year and pick really early in the draft.
  18. Sports What Ifs.

    The A.L. andN.L. tended to split states in baseball - Houston and the Rangers, St. Louis and Kansas City, the traditions with Pennsylvania and Ohio. Would they have considered doing this with California?Or were the Bay Area and Los Angeles too dissimilar in size? I'm podering a scenario where...

    Threadmarks: Side-story: "On the Life of Dr Da Costa"

    For those interested, the stories from the previous thread with Dr. Jacob Da Costa and his study on Soldier's Heart - which in our timeline became the first real study on stress but which TTL will be extended, because of the greater emotional toil on the country and connection with a few...
