3393	Article	Vaporman87	I was trying to think of which of these athletes had the most affect on popular culture, and the easy answer is Michael Jordan. The only other "sports" figure that comes close would be Hulk Hogan. Using the term "sports" very loosely there.		Feb 28, 2016
3398	Article	massreality	Great list, but you totally skipped over Wayne Gretzky and Magic Johnson! Although, one might argue that Magic was a bigger deal in the 80s.	The Non-Sports Fan's Guide to Iconic Athletes of the 90's	Feb 28, 2016
3402	Article	Rick Ace Rhodes	A guide to the controversy of Jose Canseco: 1) He was the founding father of the steroid era. 2) He then ratted everyone out about the steroid era to get back at baseball for blackballing him. 3) He has a bad habit of doing really stupid things, and is generally considered a complete psychopath.

3403	Article	Hoju Koolander	@Vaporman87 Yeah, Hogan is to wrestling what Jordan is to basketball. @massreality Gretzky didn't do much beyond host Saturay Night Live and appear in ProStars. Plus he is the only one I did see play for the Kings when I was 7 or 8. @Rick Ace Rhodes Thanks for filling me in. Also I kept finding pictures of his mangled finger online. What was that about?

3405	Article	Rick Ace Rhodes	@Hoju Koolander He was cleaning a gun he owned and he forgot it was loaded. You can guess what happened next.	The Non-Sports Fan's Guide to Iconic Athletes of the 90's	Feb 29, 2016
3428	Article	mickyarber	I added this article to my Midnight Post Retro Reading List Post for today at http://themidnightpost.com/the-midnight-post-reading-list/	The Non-Sports Fan's Guide to Iconic Athletes of the 90's	Mar 08, 2016
3377	Article	Vaporman87	This craze came after my school age years, so I never understood it. MMPR and Pokemon both confused me. I didn't see what was so fascinating about either. But there was definitely an "Asian invasion" that was spearheaded by both franchises. The knock-offs of those franchises were laughably worse.	Mighty Morphin Ripoff Rangers Part 1	Feb 23, 2016
3379	Article	pikachulover	I was a huge fan of SSSS. It was so wacky and low budget. I even had a small Servo figure. Syd was my favorite character. I used to say my little cousin acted like Tanker. Too bad hardly anybody in my 5th grade watched the show. By 6th grade at my school it was "uncool" to like any of those shows. Actually there was a double standard in 5th grade about those shows it was ok for boys to like them, but not girls because they were too "mature" to like them.

3381	Article	Benjanime	I didn't find out until years later that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was the reason why Sonic SATAM got cancelled, still ticks me off to this day.	Mighty Morphin Ripoff Rangers Part 1	Feb 24, 2016
3382	Article	Hoju Koolander	@Vaporman87 Obviously I was watching Power Rangers beyond the suggested age range, but I am with you on Pokemon, that show is garbage. I was watching an episode with my son recently and they literally just repeat variations of the same dialogue over and over again until they get to the Pokemon battle. Talk about mind-numbing. @pikachulover Hopefully you can forgive my previous comment, but I'm glad to know you were on the fringe with me watching Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad. I had a buddy with the Servo toy and one of the monsters and I thought it was pretty cool. @Benjanime You Sonic fans are a loyal bunch and Jaleel White thanks you for the paychecks. That would be an interesting story to hear the details of. I thought Sonic aired on ABC and not FOX like MMPR, so there must have been some serious conspiracy theory stuff going on there.
