John,
One of my members said that Maniago took a bad shot in a game and ever since that time a goalie cannot skate past the Red Line.

Is that it?

Yes.  Rather than go to the bench to get an attacker while waiting for the delayed penalty, Maniago went toward the other net!

John - wasn't Mauer HS Football PotY?

I still say armwrestling meets the no LH criteria.

Yes.  Joe Mauer was National Player of the Year for Football.

I don't know enough about arm wrestling.  Is there are third sport?  Used to be on TV a bit.  Clive Dean was the man as I recall.

Which joke's punchline is, "well, you can't bowl 300 and lose."  I know this guy, bowled a three hundred and WON!

Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Arm Wrestling is divided into divisions, both weight divisions and right/left hand divisions. Very nice.


And actually, yes, you could bowl a 300 and lose. Your opponent ties you with 300 and you lose in the extra frames.

Having has too many gin and tonics the question arose, what games/sports require going backwards to win?

I came up with swimming/backstroke.

Tug-o-war.

Any sculling event.

Help, what else?

After back-peddling all day chasing over head shots, I'll nominate water volleyball played with a beach ball.

Sir Bob,
I found one more:



The sport of backpedaling is centuries old, no one knows exactly when or where (some say Pa.) it first started, but it's practiced on this site quite frequently (especially on the long, long, long threads).

I believe backpedaling started in Washington DC. ;)

Golf at The Old Course when the the golfer played to the nine greens out, then reversed and played back to the same greens in opposite order?
Golf history can be quite interesting if you just let your favorite legends go and allow the truth to take you where it will.
