SportsFilter: The Friday Huddle:

A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

For some reason, this is obvious yet still funny.

Van Damme! Jean Claude looks like an after pic of someone who uses meth.

Thanks Tommy that made my day. I just wish the had included Mike Tyson (Dreaderick Tatum). I know Mike doesnt do the voice, but he always makes me laugh.

They also left a few good ones off the list(Ali, Jordan, Montana, Tiger). leave it to SI to mess up Simpsons stuff.

About the Gretzky's-first-goal-article:

It's unfathomable that the kid goalies didn't have masks. That photo was taken in 1972! Surely they would have come up with SOMETHING for them to wear after Plante had already been wearing a mask for 12 years!

Owlie, that is hilarious!

It says 1968 in the article, but I'm with you on the mask thing, grum.

If Gretzky was 6, then the photo would have to been in 67-68'.

I'm confused on the absence of a goalie mask...I was playing 11 year old hockey at that time, and we had goalie masks. If we had them in small-town Minnesota, I'm sure they had goalie masks in Canada.

I love how two grown men are arguing over which of them Gretzky scored his first goal on.
