This is possibly the best story arc of the show – which is impressive, since the show was famously ‘about nothing.’

McHale did a better job as an actor than he has as a NBA general manager and coach. Maybe he should see if his agent can get him any work.

Jeter did a much better job on here than his wooden stint on Saturday Night Live. Bernie Williams showed he was a better guitar player than actor.

Bo Knows Comedy.

Mattingly’s fu manchu mustache overwhelmed everyone on one of the show’s all-time finest episodes.

Bonds before the whole bulked up body and steroid accusations.
