Status Updates From Sid!: The Sports Legends, t...

“WCCO sports announcer Mark Rosen” excuse me Sid I think you mean Initials icon Mark “Rosie” Rosen 🤩

“After scoring a goal, he would skate on his left skate, kick his right leg, and pump his right fist. The Goldy Shuffle became so famous that young hockey players in Minnesota still can be seen doing it, twenty years after Goldsworthy played his last game.”

Ohhhhh no not the MN-OSU brawl 😬

“The worst screwing a team ever took from the officials came at Madison, Wisconsin, in November 1962. The Gophers were 5-1-1, and a victory was going to give them an outright Big Ten championship and a third straight trip to the Rose Bowl”

“‘Cold soup. This is a really fancy dinner.’ I gobbled it up, and everyone at the table started laughing…It was Green Goddess salad dressing for the entire table.”

Shh don’t tell my dad I got this at an estate sale as a gift 🤫 He literally asked me for Patrick Reusse’s new book for Christmas and for 16 years his work computer background has been a picture of the time he met Sid, so this seems fitting.

Testaments of Sid’s legend status by Kirby Puckett, Tom Brokaw, Arnold Palmer, Wayne Gretzky, David Stern, and Walter Mondale (!) is an excellent start
