I have a funny Gerry Cooney story. A buddy of mine got two tickets to Game Two of the 2003 World Series. Good seats, field level along the first base line, between the bag and the right fielder.

During the seventh inning, a guy sauntered by. I swear to you, he looked like Gary Carter. I jump up, tell the guy that I was a huge 1986 Mets fanboi looser and could I get his autograph. The man graciously signs, thanks me and continues down the ramp. I sit down and the Wall Street types behind me say, "We have some bad news. That wasn't Gary Carter."

Shocked, I say, "Of course it was Gary Carter.'' They sadly shake their heads and tell me I just got Gerry Cooney's autograph.

My face fell as I said, "Gerry Cooney? I don't want Gerry Cooney's signature when I thought he was Gary Carter." And I tossed it into the trash.

 

Shouldn't Mike Tyson be Bolivia?

i'd rather go with thunderlips:

 

Rocky Marciano - ?????

I was thinking Spain, with the Spanish Armada, but those ships were sent to hell. Maybe the United States? Has there been a country that never lost a war?

 

There seems to be a serious lack of understanding of the historical significance of the Holy Roman Empire here.
That doesn't change the fact that nobody cares about Klitschko.

 

The Ultimate Male vs. the Ultimate Meatball.

 

Perfect!

 

The Holy Roman Empire was neither of the three.
