Agree. Hes an old 53.Cam Neely looks 90 years old like the Governor of Vermont.
Edging closer to the triple......a history lesson:
But the decade of the 1930s was special to the city of Detroit. Beginning in 1931, native Detroiter, Gar Wood, won the Harmsworth Trophy for unlimited powerboat racing on the Detroit River. The next year, Eddie “The Midnight Express” Tolan, a sprinter and 1927 graduate from Detroit’s Cass Technical High School, won the 100- and 200-meter races and two gold medals at the 1932 Summer Olympics. While Joe Louis, who came to Detroit when he was 12 years old to start his professional boxing career, won the heavyweight championship of the world in 1937. The Detroit Lions won the National Football League championship in 1935, while the Tigers won their first of back-to-back American League pennants in 1934, winning their first ever World Series in 1935 by defeating the Chicago Cubs. To top it off, the Red Wings won the NHL’s Stanley Cup in 1936 and 1937.
What makes this so remarkable is that no other city — before or since — has held championships for three of the four major North American sports at the same time. As a result of this display of excellence, Detroit was named “City of Champions” in the 1930s.
April 18, 1936, was set aside by then governor, Frank Fitzgerald, as Champions Day.

People in Massachusetts love making fun of NC (as this thread indicates). Meanwhile, I have never met a single person who lived in Mass and lived in NC and preferred Mass (and I know a lot of people who lived in both places).One of my best friends from HS moved down there, loves it.
