Ben Sheets

Ben Michael Sheets (born July 18, 1978) is an American former professional baseball pitcher who played for the Milwaukee Brewers, Oakland Athletics, and Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball. Sheets is a four-time MLB All-Star (2001, 2004, 2007, and 2008). He won a gold medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics.

Amateur career
Sheets graduated from St. Amant High School in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. He attended Northeast Louisiana University on a college baseball scholarship. He once struck out 20 batters in a game against Louisiana Tech. In the summer of 1998, he played collegiate summer baseball in the Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL) with the Wareham Gatemen, and returned to the CCBL in 1999 to play with the Orleans Cardinals, where he was a teammate of fellow future Major Leaguer Mark Teixeira. Sheets was inducted into the CCBL Hall of Fame in 2008.

Draft and minor leagues
Drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the first round (10th overall) of the 1999 draft, he made his professional debut with the Ogden Raptors of the Pioneer League. In August, against the Idaho Falls Chukars, Sheets struck out eight batters while allowing just one hit through five innings. Later in the month, he was promoted to Class A Stockton of the California League. In his seven minor league starts that year, Sheets averaged a strikeout ratio of 10.09 batters per nine innings.

In 2000, Sheets was on the United States national team for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. He pitched 22 innings, struck out 11 batters, walked one, and gave up 11 hits during the tournament, and faced off against Cuban ace Pedro Luis Lazo in the gold medal game, giving up three singles and advancing just one runner to second base for the entire game. Sheets gave up no walks and struck out five in a 4–0 complete-game shutout.

Milwaukee Brewers (2001–2008)
By 2001, Sheets had been promoted to the Brewers' starting rotation. His first two starts resulted in losses, but he won his next four, while pitching to a 1.73 ERA. On May 29, in his ninth career start, he pitched his first shutout, giving up five hits against the St. Louis Cardinals. He ended the season 11–10 with a 4.76 ERA. In 2003, Sheets was troubled by bulging discs in his lower back. "My back has been hurt but you've got to go out there and perform," he said. Over the final two months of the season, Sheets pitched poorly and finished the year 11–13 with a 4.45 ERA.

In 2004, Sheets' trouble with a bulging disc subsided. On June 13, 2004, Sheets struck out all three batters on nine total pitches in the third inning of a 5–4 loss to the Houston Astros, becoming the 26th National League pitcher and the 35th pitcher in major-league history to accomplish an immaculate inning. During 2004, his fastball was being clocked regularly at 96 –, primarily a result of improved health. That season he also struck out 18 batters in a May 16, 2004, game against the Atlanta Braves, shattering the franchise record of 14, set by Moose Haas in 1978.

By the end of the season, Sheets established himself as a strikeout threat, throwing 264, to finish second in the National League and third in the majors behind Randy Johnson and Johan Santana. After posting an ERA above 4.00 in his previous three seasons, Sheets compiled a dominant 2.70 ERA and 0.98 WHIP, which ranked Sheets fourth and third, respectively, among all starting pitchers. Most impressively, Sheets amassed only 32 walks, giving Sheets a strikeout-to-walk ratio of over 8:1, far and away the best in the major leagues. A mediocre 12–14 win–loss record during this outstanding season was primarily the result of poor run support. Sheets finished 8th in the Cy Young Award voting.

In response to his success in 2004, the Brewers signed Sheets to a four-year, $38.5 million extension. At that time, it was the largest contract in Brewers history. However, after signing the contract, Sheets struggled with health issues. A series of inner ear infections that caused dizziness and a loss of balance forced Sheets onto the disabled list for a period of time in the beginning of the 2005 season.

Sheets started the 2006 season on the disabled list but quickly came off it only to pitch three starts before going on the DL again with shoulder tendinitis. He returned to the starting rotation two weeks after the All-Star break. Sheets pitched a seven-inning shutout against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In his second game back, he would pitch nearly a complete-game shutout, but in the 9th inning, Sheets gave up a two-run homer to Ken Griffey Jr. of the Reds.

In 2007, Sheets started both his and the Brewers' season on a high note by throwing an Opening Day complete game, two-hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers. A strained hamstring in August forced him to miss the rest of the 2007 regular season.

Sheets started on Opening Day 2008 in a 4–3 win over the Cubs. He batted eighth in the lineup, the first Brewers starting pitcher to bat in a position other than ninth. In his second start, Sheets threw only the second complete-game shutout of his career, beating the San Francisco Giants 7–0 in a five-hit, eight-strikeout performance.

On May 10, Sheets struck out St. Louis Cardinals' first baseman Albert Pujols on a breaking ball in the first inning to reach 1,082 strikeouts, breaking Teddy Higuera's club mark. On July 9, Sheets had a season-high 11 strikeouts, including the first seven outs as strikeouts. By mid-July, he was 10–3 with a 2.85 ERA and was chosen as a starting pitcher for the National League in the 2008 All-Star Game. Pitching in his fourth All-Star Game, Sheets became the first Milwaukee Brewer pitcher to start an All-Star Game. In his 2008 All-Star outing, he pitched two scoreless innings, giving up one hit, walking two, and striking out three.

Sheets finished the season with 13–9 with a 3.09 ERA in 31 starts and 198$1⁄3$ innings pitched. He went to a 3–0 count on only 2% of all batters he faced in the season, the lowest percentage in the majors. He also threw curveballs 33% of the time, more than any other starter in the major leagues. At the end of the season, he incurred a tear in his right elbow, underwent Tommy John surgery and did not pitch in the postseason.

In October 2008, Sheets filed for free agency. Most teams were put off by Sheets due to his propensity for injuries. In addition, Sheets was a "type-A" free agent, meaning that if a team signed him before the Rule 4 draft, they would forfeit a draft pick to the Brewers. Sheets ultimately did not play during the 2009 season.

Oakland Athletics (2010)
On January 26, 2010, Sheets agreed to a one-year, $10 million with an additional $2 million in incentives, contract with the Oakland Athletics. Sheets got the Opening Day start, going five innings allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits while striking out three and walking four, receiving a no-decision. The Athletics lost the game in the bottom of the 9th.

On July 29, 2010, the Athletics announced Sheets would miss the remainder of the season due to a torn flexor in his right elbow. His season ended with Sheets going 4–9 in 20 starts.

Atlanta Braves (2012)
On July 1, 2012, the Atlanta Braves announced that Sheets had signed a minor league contract with the organization in order to attempt a comeback to the major leagues. He made his first minor league start with the Mississippi Braves on July 4, 2012. On July 12, the Braves announced that they had called Sheets up from the minors. Sheets made his first start in nearly two years, on July 15 against the New York Mets. He pitched six scoreless innings, giving up two hits and striking out five to earn the win. After his second start also resulted in no runs given up by Sheets, who pitched six innings of five-hit, six-strikeout ball, he stated, "If you asked me if I'm surprised I haven't given up a run, yeah I am. But I'm not surprised I'm getting people out. I wouldn't have come back if I didn't think I could get people out." Sheets made the final start of his career on October 3, 2012, against the Pirates.

Personal life
Sheets was born on July 18, 1978, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. During the 2004 season, Sheets resided in St. Amant, Louisiana. In 2008, he was living in Highland Park, Texas. He and his wife Julie have two sons, Seaver (named after Tom Seaver) and Miller Bennett. Sheets is also part owner of the American Hockey League's Milwaukee Admirals. He enjoys Cajun food, including jambalaya and crawfish etouffee. Since 2013, Sheets has been a volunteer baseball coach at his alma mater the University of Louisiana at Monroe. Andy Sheets, a former major league infielder, is a distant cousin.

On June 13, 2014, Sheets was inducted into the Brewers Wall of Honor for pitching over 1,000 innings with the club.

Bothy band

A bothy band is a musical group which comes from the farming culture of nineteenth century Scotland. At that time agriculture was relatively labour-intensive. As a result, large farms often had a small community associated with them, the farm toun. This was made up of married couples who lived in small cottages and single men who lived together in a bothy, or shelter. In order to entertain themselves and the other members of the toun, the young men of the bothy would hold musical evenings, the bothy nichts, with the music provided by their own impromptu band, the bothy band. A good band might well become known outside the toun, and be in demand for local events such as dances.

University College Dublin A.F.C.

University College Dublin Association Football Club (Cumann Sacar Choláiste na hOllscoile, Baile Átha Cliath), known commonly as UCD, is the football team of University College Dublin. They play in the League of Ireland Premier Division. Founded in 1895, the club was elected to the League of Ireland in 1979 under the management of Dr. Tony O'Neill. Since the 2008 season they have played at the UCD Bowl, also home to the college's rugby team. 'The Students' play in bright sky blue and navy. Their reserve and freshers teams play in the Leinster Senior League. Currently managed by Donegal native William O Connor, UCD will compete in the First Division as of 2024.

Foundation and early years
University College Dublin AFC was founded in 1895 as the Catholic University Medical School Football Club and began playing regular games the following year. A First XI played college games against other universities, and a Second XI entered outside competitions. The club was founder members of the Leinster Junior League in 1896 and reached the semi-finals of the Leinster Senior Cup in 1897. The club became University College Dublin AFC when the new university annexed the Medical School in 1908. UCD won the inaugural Intervarsities competition, the Collingwood Cup, in 1914 and added the Irish Intermediate Cup the following year, beating Portadown 2–1 in a replayed final. When the Irish Free State was formed in 1921 and the new Football Association of Ireland was formed, UCD participated in the FAI Cup preliminary round against fellow non-League team Shamrock Rovers, losing 6–2 in Windy Arbour. UCD were invited to join the League of Ireland in 1922, but had to turn it down on the basis of not being able to field a team in the League of Ireland Shield in September as the academic year didn't commence until October. In 1945, they won the FAI Intermediate Cup by beating fellow future League of Ireland members Cobh Ramblers 4–2 in the final. UCD appeared in the FAI Cup in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s; their final appearance as a non-League outfit came in 1957, when Cork Athletic beat UCD 4–2 in the Mardyke.

1970s
In 1970, the club was elected to the League of Ireland B Division. From 1976, they embarked on a series of landmark tours, becoming the first western football team to play in China, and following that with tours in places like India, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Jordan, the Philippines, Macao, the United States, Sudan, Kenya, and Australia. A second invitation to join the League of Ireland was accepted on 22 July 1979, when Cork Celtic were expelled for not having their financial affairs in order. Their first competitive game as a senior club was on 26 August, when they lost 2–1 to Drogheda United in the FAI League Cup. Theo Dunne was appointed first team coach, and apart from a brief spell at Home Farm in 1990–1994, he was in charge of first team affairs until he retired as coach in 2001. Dr. Tony O'Neill, who was General Manager when the club joined the League, remained in that role until his untimely death from cancer in October 1999.

1980s
The club struggled initially in the league after their election, never finishing higher than twelfth in the 16-team league, although they did win the Leinster Senior Cup in December 1980, beating St Patrick's Athletic 2–1 in the final. However, important changes within the club in 1983 marked a dramatic upturn in fortunes. The previously amateur club turned semi-pro, and players outside of the college were allowed to represent the first team. This is still the situation today, although in practice most of the players are either students or ex-students. By the end of the 1983–84 season, UCD had won the FAI Cup, beating Shamrock Rovers 2–1 after a replay. Shamrock Rovers weren't to lose another game in the competition for over three years – until they lost to UCD in 1988.

That win saw UCD qualify for European competition – the European Cup Winners Cup – for the first time. The draw pitted them against Everton, then one of the leading sides in England and boasting players of the calibre of Neville Southall, Kevin Sheedy, Graham Sharp, Peter Reid and Andy Gray. The home leg was played in Tolka Park and a crowd of 9,000 – many times UCD's average league crowd – saw the Students come away with a scarcely believable 0–0 draw. Another remarkable performance was to follow two weeks later, as a solitary Graham Sharp goal gave Everton a 1–0 win. Joe Hanrahan skimmed the bar for the Students late on; had he scored, UCD would have progressed on away goals – as it was, Everton went on to win the entire competition and smashed several records in winning their nation's league title. UCD's performance was made all the more remarkable by the fact that, at the end of the year, Everton were voted the best club side in the world for 1985 by the managers of world national teams.

That season saw UCD finish fourth in the league, but they were then forced to release many of their best players due to financial difficulties. Joe Hanrahan signed for Manchester United for IR£30,000, Ken O'Doherty moved to Crystal Palace, and Alan O'Neill left for Dundalk. The team were relegated in 1985/86 with eight points, a record low in the Premier Division. Despite this, in 1987, UCD won the World Collegiate Championships in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Promotion in 1988–89 was followed by an immediate relegation, and it was 1994–95 before UCD were to return to the Premier. They did so by recording a then-record points tally for the First Division, also breaking the record for most goals scored and fewest goals conceded.

1990s
In 1999–00, a late burst saw UCD finish fourth in the league and qualify for the Intertoto Cup. Their opponents were the Bulgarian side PFC Velbazhd Kyustendil, who boasted a couple of full Bulgaria internationals, including Ilian Stoyanov, who would go on to represent his country in the 2004 European Championships. UCD kept up their proud European record with a pulsating 3–3 draw in the first leg in Belfield Park before drawing 0–0 in Bulgaria to bow out on away goals. History unfortunately repeated itself as the Students once again nearly sneaked victory as they hit the post late on.

2000–2009
In 2001, Paul Doolin, one of the most successful players in the League of Ireland, took over as manager from former player Martin Moran. After enjoying a successful first season, the team only just avoided relegation in 2002–03 and were eleven points adrift when Doolin left to take over at Drogheda United in September 2003. Pete Mahon was immediately installed as the new manager, and UCD almost staged an incredible Houdini act, losing four games in 16, closing the gap at the bottom to two points and recording the highest points total for a relegated team.

2004 saw more of the same, as UCD, together with Finn Harps, smashed the First Division points record and were promoted with ease. UCD marked their return to the Premier Division with a highly creditable 1–1 draw away to two-time reigning champions Shelbourne. There was a bright point in College's ultimately indifferent season when they got into the League Cup final after a last-gasp 2–1 victory over Shelbourne in the semi-final at Tolka Park. They went on to lose the final 2–1 to Derry City at Belfield Park.

2006 was one of UCD's most successful seasons in a few years. Despite being knocked out of the League Cup in the first round, The Students recovered well, finishing the season in 6th place and reaching the quarterfinals of the FAI Cup. The performances of many in the squad did not go unnoticed, with Darren Quigley and Gary Dicker establishing themselves as under-21 internationals. Quigley then went one better and became on B international when he appeared as a substitute against Scotland B in November. UCD players also attracted interest from many British clubs. Quigley had trials at many clubs across the water; Stockport County paid €56,000 for Dicker in May 2007, and Patrick Kavanagh signed for Birmingham City after impressing on trial there. The club were relegated at the end of the 2008 season, and Manager Pete Mahon wasn't offered a new contract.

2009–present
Mahon's assistant since 2005, Martin Russell, took over as manager. With a largely new team, UCD bounced back to the top flight of Irish football at the first time of asking by securing their second First Division title, promoted after a 5–0 away win over Athlone Town in the penultimate match of the season on 30 October 2009, ahead of former Premier Division teams Shelbourne, Longford Town, Waterford United FC as well as a strong challenge from recently formed Sporting Fingal FC. In the 2009 FAI Cup, UCD's second team qualified for the first round by virtue of reaching the final of the 2008/09 FAI Intermediate Cup. They lost 2–1 at home to Arklow Town, who were drawn to play UCD's first team in the second round, also in the UCD Bowl. Despite taking the lead, Arklow, who had no eligible goalkeeper for the tie, ultimately lost 3–1.

Under Russell, UCD remained in the Airtricity League Premier Division. In 2011 the club qualified for the Setanta Sports Cup, an All-Ireland competition, where they lost to Lisburn Distillery FC 2–0 over two legs. At the beginning of the 2014 season Russell was replaced by former coach Aaron Callaghan, who had to serve out a five-game dug-out suspension awarded while at rivals Bohemian FC. UCD struggled all year, and the Students lost a two-legged relegation/promotion play-off with Galway FC in November 2014.

In July 2015, UCD became the first League of Ireland team from the second tier to progress through a European tie when they saw off Luxembourg champions F91 Dudelange in the Europa League. A lone Ryan Swan strike at the UCD Bowl gave the college their first win in a European game, and then a remarkable game at the Stade Jos Nosbaum saw Swan give UCD the lead early in the game, but after Seán Coyne was sent off, F91 scored twice before halftime through Joël Pedro and Kevin Nakache. UCD players put up the most incredible defensive display of the season, led by goalkeeper Niall Corbet and kept the second half scoreless to progress on away goals after a 2–2 aggregate draw, winning on the away goals rule. In the second round, UCD lost to a late deflected goal away to a Slovan Bratislava with three players who had played at the 2010 FIFA World Cup before losing the return leg 5–1, conceding three goals in the last ten minutes.

In 2017, the club competed in the UEFA Youth League, losing on penalties to a Molde FK which included Erling Haaland. Haaland was introduced as a sub in the return game at the Aker Stadion and didn't score in his half-hour on the pitch, although he did score in the penalty shoot-out.

In September 2018, the club won promotion to the Premier Division after a 1–1 draw with Finn Harps F.C. which secured the Students the title. They also reached the semi-finals of the FAI Cup for the first time in 12 years only to lose 1–0 away to reigning double-champions Dundalk. However, a tumultuous 2019 season saw a number of players leave mid-season as they had finished college. A club record 12 consecutive defeats were followed by a record 10–1 defeat away to Bohemians, a match which brought about the end of Collie O'Neill's five years in charge. The club was relegated back to the First Division for 2020.

After finishing third in the table in the 2021 League of Ireland First Division, UCD defeated Treaty United and Bray Wanderers in the First Division play-offs before defeating Waterford FC 2–1 in the promotion/relegation play-off to win promotion back to the 2022 League of Ireland Premier Division.

In the 2022 League of Ireland Premier Division, UCD spent most of the season battling with Finn Harps to avoid automatic relegation. It was 15 games into the season before UCD managed their first win of the season, a 1–0 win away to Finn Harps. However, a strong finish to the season and a 3–1 win away to Finn Harps in the penultimate game of the season ensured that UCD finished in 9th place and avoided automatic relegation to the First Division, instead qualifying for the promotion/relegation playoff, where they faced Waterford FC in a repeat of the 2021 playoff. A 15th-minute goal by Tommy Lonergan, his 12th of the season in all competitions, led UCD to a 1–0 win and ensured their survival in the Premier Division.

Scholarship scheme
UCD AFC is noted for its highly regarded scholarship scheme, which gives players the chance to combine senior football with the opportunity to earn a college degree. This was based on the North American model and created in 1979 on UCD's entry into the League of Ireland Senior Division. The first recipient of the award was Keith Dignam, sponsored by Irish Potato Crisp manufacturer Tayto. Past scholars include Kevin Grogan, Joe Hanrahan and his brother Peter Hanrahan, Jason Colwell, Jason Sherlock, Clive Delaney, Gary Dicker, Paul Corry and Robbie Benson.

Former players
Many famous players have played for UCD down the years. Todd Andrews, future Chairman of CIÉ and RTÉ, and his son David Andrews, a future Minister for Foreign Affairs, both played in the Leinster Senior League for the club, as did Brian Lenihan, who scored in a 1953 FAI Cup tie against Sligo Rovers and later ran for President of Ireland. Willie Browne won numerous international university caps while at UCD, he subsequently went on to win 3 full Republic of Ireland caps, 16 amateur caps, one Republic of Ireland B cap and six Inter-League caps and captained Bohemian for 3 consecutive seasons. Former Irish international Kevin Moran, who would later play for Manchester United, Sporting de Gijón and Blackburn Rovers played in the League of Ireland B Division and was signed for Manchester United from UCD's graduate team, Pegasus. Moran also won an All-Ireland Gaelic football winner's medal with Dublin in 1976 while at UCD, as would Jason Sherlock nineteen years later. Conor Sammon, Enda Stevens and Andy Boyle also won senior international caps having started their careers with UCD.

Hugo MacNeill won the Collingwood with UCD, but went on to greater things with the Ireland national rugby union team, winning the Triple Crown in 1985 and playing in the 1987 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. In 1983, the Leeds United legend and record goalscorer Peter Lorimer played three games before returning to England for a final spell with Leeds. Dave Norman played senior international football for Canada while at UCD and went on to play in the 1986 World Cup. Former Sky Sports and current Setanta Sports pundit Paul Dempsey played for one season in 1982/83 before taking up a job with the BBC

Gavin Whelan (nephew of Ronnie Whelan) and Pat Jennings (son of Northern Irish international Pat Jennings) played for UCD in the mid-2000s. In August 2016, Dylan Watts signed for English Premiership champions Leicester City from UCD.

A popular rumour has it that Brazilian star Sócrates ever played for the club; however, there is no evidence for this.

Fan culture
UCD has a small fanbase, which included until his untimely death the Father Ted actor Dermot Morgan, an occasional visitor to Belfield. When asked why he attended UCD matches, Dermot reportedly replied "Because I hate crowds". From 2001 to 2010, the unofficial club fanzine Student Till I Graduate published a record 91 issues. The book One Night in Dudelange – Adventures in the UEFA Europa League chronicles the club's 2015 Europa League campaign and was listed for Sports Book of the Year in 2019.

The UCD Superleague is an inter-varsity league consisting of teams predominantly made up of UCD students and alumni. The league has produced a handful of UCD and other League of Ireland players.

Prunus cerasifera

Prunus cerasifera is a species of plum known by the common names cherry plum and myrobalan plum. It is native to Southeast Europe and Western Asia, and is naturalised in the British Isles and scattered locations in North America. Also naturalized in parts of SE Australia where it is considered to be a mildly invasive weed of bushland near urban centers. P. cerasifera is believed to one of the parents of the Cultivated Plum, Prunus domestica perhaps crossing with the sloe, Prunus spinosa, or perhaps the sole parent. This would make it a parent of most of the commercial varieties of plum in the UK and mainland Europe - Victoria, greengages, bullace etc.

Description
Wild types are large shrubs or small trees reaching 8–12 m (25–40 feet) tall, sometimes spiny, with glabrous, ovate deciduous leaves 3-7 cm long. It is one of the first European trees to flower in spring, often starting in mid-February before the leaves have opened. The flowers are white or pale pink and about 2 cm across, with five petals and many stamens. The fruit is an edible drupe, 2–3 cm in diameter, ripening to yellow or red from early July to mid-September. They are self-fertile but can also be pollinated by other Prunus varieties such as the Victoria plum. The plant propagates by seed or by suckering, and is often used as the rootstock for other Prunus species and cultivars.

Cultivation
The cherry plum is a popular ornamental tree for garden and landscaping use, grown for its very early flowering. Numerous cultivars have been developed, many of them selected for purple foliage, such as P cerasifera var pissardii (Carrière) L.H. Bailey (P. 'Atropurpurea'). The cultivar 'Nigra' with black foliage and pink flowers, has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Prunus × cistena (purple leaf sand cherry), a hybrid of Prunus cerasifera and Prunus pumila, the sand cherry, also won the Award of Garden Merit. These purple-foliage forms (often called 'purple-leaf plum'), also have dark purple fruit, which make an attractive, intensely coloured jam. They can have white or pink flowers. The cultivar 'Thundercloud' has bright red foliage which darkens purple. Others, such as 'Lindsayae', have green foliage. Some kinds of purple-leaf plums are used for bonsai and other forms of living sculpture.

Cultivated cherry plums can have fruits, foliage, and flowers in any of several colours. Some varieties have sweet fruits that can be eaten fresh, while others are sour and better for making jam. Cherry plums are a key ingredient in Georgian cuisine where they are used to produce tkemali sauce, as well as a number of popular dishes, such as kharcho soup and chakapuli stew. It is a popular tree in Romania where its fruits are used for souring soups when immature, for eating raw when ripened, and for making moonshine when overripe because of their high sugar content.

Boris Badenov

Boris Badenov is an antagonist character in the 1959–1964 animated series Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show, so often appearing with his devious accomplice, Natasha Fatale, that the two are usually grouped together, as Boris and Natasha, a reference to Boris Drubetskoy and Natasha Rostova in Tolstoy’s War and Peace. He was originally voiced by Paul Frees. The character was created by Bill Scott, who based his appearance on that of Gomez Addams.

Badenov's name is a pun on that of 16th-century Russian tsar Boris Godunov (i.e., "good enough" vs. "bad enough"). His accent and explosive temper are a homage to Hollywood actor Akim Tamiroff, especially his role in The Great McGinty.

Boris is a spy from the fictional nation of Pottsylvania, and takes orders from the strongman known as Fearless Leader (and occasionally the rarely seen Mr. Big). Boris's missions range from trying to steal a secret rocket fuel formula to eliminating all television from the United States as part of Pottsylvania's various attempts to seize power. Boris, who is thoroughly dedicated to (and takes delight in) all manners of nefarious deeds, also sometimes engages in his own schemes, such as starting his own organized crime gang and hiring himself out as a professional executioner, and frequently conspires schemes simply to get rich (such as by posing as a Hollywood director to bilk Bullwinkle out of his life savings in "The Last Angry Moose" or usurping Santa Claus by taking advantage of a freak polar drift in "Topsy Turvy World"). Separately from the television series, a commercial for the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show featuring Boris established that he was an active member of Local 12 of the Villains, Thieves, and Scoundrels Union. During this commercial, Boris also claims to be "the world's greatest nogoodnik". Boris is also quite proud that the nicest thing Fearless Leader ever did for him was sending a picture of himself to Boris inscribed "Drop Dead — Fearless Leader". He is a master of disguise and aliases.

According to the Rialto Theater's "Moosebill" for "Downhill: The Musical" (a special table of contents insert created for the DVD box set Rocky and Bullwinkle & Friends, The Third Season), Boris was educated in the Pottsylvania public schools before taking a scoundrelship to U.S.C. (the University of Safe Cracking), from which he graduated magna cum louse. He has a strong stomach and because of it was one of only three survivors of the ruling clique of Pottsylvania, the other two being his superiors Fearless Leader and Mister Big. Boris enjoys light reading; his favorite book is an anthology of fiendish plans called the Fireside Crook Book. He is also a charter member of the Van Gogh Society, a Pottsylvanian club whose members collect human ears.

Early in the series, Boris was taller and had red eyes. After the first episodes, he changed to his normal short stature, but still retained the red eyes until a few episodes afterwards. Humorously, they changed from red to white after he had woken up from a long slumber, as if the redness was caused by sleep deprivation.

Boris is nearly always accompanied by his fellow spy, Natasha Fatale, an iconic femme fatale with an icy smile who wears a slit dress. The first time he appeared without her was in the story arc "Buried Treasure". The first story arc in which neither appeared was "The Three Moosketeers".

Usually, Boris' misdeeds are thwarted by Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Bullwinkle the Moose. Boris's attempts at killing "moose and squirrel" (as he refers to them) also always end in failure, usually by his own scheme backfiring on him. "Of course, I've got plan!" he says. "I've always got plan! They don't ever work, but I've always got one!" As Boris expresses his plight in one promo: "I send in lady spy with package which is really bomb. Door gets locked, she can't get out, who gets blown up? Me!"

Boris appeared in all but three Rocky and Bullwinkle storylines: The Three Moosketeers, The Ruby Yacht, and Mucho Loma. Boris often appeared in segments of Bullwinkle's Corner, Mr. Know-It-All, and The Rocky and Bullwinkle Fan Club.

Catch phrases
Boris's main catch phrase (spoken when frustrated) is "Raskolnikov!" (a reference to the novel Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky), spoken in his Pottsylvanian accent (a mock-Russian accent).

Boris would also say, "Sharrup you mouth!" to Natasha when his schemes failed. However, in the final segment of "Greenpernt Oogle", when he and Natasha were stuck in their own mine field, he says to her, "Natasha, next time I get fiendish plan, do me big favor? Sharrup my mouth!" She does indeed do this in one episode, saying those very words to Boris as the car they were in dropped over a cliff to the ground in the 8-segment story arc "The Treasure of Monte Zoom". Also, whenever his superior gives him an order, he utters the line "You sair it!"

Boris would usually greet a new acquaintance by saying, "Allow me to introducing myself. I am Boris Badenov, world's greatest no-goodnik".

In other media

 * In the 1992 Showtime Network film Boris and Natasha: The Movie, the live-action Boris was played by Dave Thomas.
 * In the 2000 theatrical film The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, the live-action Boris was played by Jason Alexander.
 * Boris reappears in the 2014 3D DreamWorks Animation short film Rocky & Bullwinkle, voiced by Robert Cait.
 * Boris appears in the 2018 Amazon Video series The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, where he is voiced by Benjamin Diskin. This incarnation, while still mean and selfish, is also ditzy, easily distracted and somewhat childlike, almost an evil version of Bullwinkle. Instead of usurping Santa, he shows great admiration for him. ("I talk about Santa all I want. He's very magical man.") He's also a surprisingly gifted keytar player, although it appears his mother didn't approve of the instrument. He was sent to spy school because his mother had hoped for him to be Pottsylvania's next top model, but as time went on she realized that wasn't possible.
 * Boris has appeared in two Robot Chicken sketches.

Talk:John Elway

Untitled
From : “In October 1997, Elway and his partners sold the dealerships to Wayne Huizenga’s Republic Industries for $82.5 million…” —Fleminra 19:03, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC)

In season 3 episode 69 of Blue Mountain State, the QB breaks the campus record for most touchdown throws in a single game, the plaque for the previous record from 30 years prior was held by a Sean Elway, possible reference to John. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.2.11.197 (talk) 06:30, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

shoulder injury in 1996 - ?
i'm not a big elway fan but i'm surprised this article doesn't have any info on the surgery he had before 1997. if i remember correctly his tendon had to be reattached but could not have been attached in the anatomically correct manner. the fact that he recovered from that and still had two great years as a quarterback is pretty impressive. 207.29.128.130 17:24, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Held back in high school?
The following text was added anonymously: “His father decided to hold John back a year in school, so he would be a better athlete than his peers. As a result, he was a very successful High School Quarterback…”. While it could be true, no source was cited and a quick Google didn’t find anything. I’m removing this until it can be substantiated (c.f. John Seigenthaler Sr.). —Fleminra 02:12, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Evidence in favor: Despite being born in 1960, he graduated high school and went to Stanford in 1979, which would be one year later than expected. Typically one graduates in the year that one turns 18. (http://espn.go.com/nfl/profiles/profile/0195.html). —User:72.140.108.96

Huh? I have a friend that didn't get held back at all, and when he graduates he'll be just about 19. Better straighten up your facts... Footballrocks41237 19:15, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

That is accurate. I've seen that fact discussed on ESPN Sports Century (of John Elway). So while it can go back in, I think it goes without saying he would have been successful either way.--Lindsay 03:54, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Opening paragraph
I think it would be consistent with Manual of Style (biographies) to say something in the first paragraph that distinguishes Elway from the other ~400 persons in Category:American football quarterbacks. I'm only Talking about it here (before I edit) because someone recently added a vague accolade and it was reverted. —Fleminra 08:46, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I think it would be more appropriate to say that Elway "Demanded to be traded from the Baltimore Colts because he is a prima-donna spoiled brat". — Preceding unsigned comment added by AusyGib82 (talk • contribs) 00:31, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

It should be mentioned that John Elway lost, what was up to then, the most lopsided game in Superbowl history to Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AusyGib82 (talk • contribs) 00:36, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

How come Joe Montana doesn't need to protect his wikipedia page? Just a thought.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by AusyGib82 (talk • contribs) 00:38, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

AFL Colorado Crush
Isn't John Elway the coach for the Arena Football League's Colorado Crush? If he is, I think that is worth mentioning in this article.

 * He's the owner of the Colorado Crush, I believe - sounds relevent for this article

 * It states in the Colorado Crush official website that he is the Co-Owner, and the CEO.

pass attempts per interception/ypg in postseason
hey. i was kinda thinking of adding these stats to the page but haven't yet figured out how to manipulate that table, and think a section all its own is a bit much. the stats are as follows, in case somebody more able feels like beating me to it:

32.07 pass attempts per interception in the regular season 31 pass attempts per interception in postseason 225.6 yards per game in postseason

or maybe not. the PAPI stat, i think, is a better barometer of quarterback performance than, say, interception totals. either way.-Nod 21:17, 1 March 2006 (UTC) John Elway,FIGHTING!!!

Jhon Elway is the best Q.B

Career wins?
The article makes two references to Elway as the NFL's all-time leader in career wins by a quarterback, but provides no citation. Is there a valid source that can verify this for us? Otherwise, it has to come out. | Mr. Darcy talk 18:13, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Nevermind, found it and added it. The article still could use some citations, though; the footnote I added was the first. | Mr. Darcy talk 18:17, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

The article says Elway's win total has been surpassed by Brady, Peyton, and Favre, however Roethlisberger and Brees are now also in that number, may need to be edited for brevity instead of continuing to add names to the list: https://www.footballdb.com/stats/qb-records.html?alltime=1&type=reg&letter=&sort=w

Last Game?
The article states that Super Bowl XXXIII was his last game. However, if my memory is correct, he accepted an invitation to play in the last game at Mile High Stadium before it was shut down. Should this not be mentioned in the article? Atsfrr3000 02:19, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Super Bowl XXXIII was Elway's last actual NFL regular-season or playoff game. In other words, the last game he played that mattered. You could argue that the last NFL-sanctioned game he participated in was the Pro Bowl following the 1998 season, which he started, leading the AFC to a touchdown on his only drive of the game (http://starbulletin.com/1999/02/08/sports/story1.html). The event at Mile High Stadium was a Denver Broncos-sponsored exhibition. --Pbrownpbrown 05:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Redundancy?
It seems like several things are restated from the article in the "Career Highlights" section. Particularly the 'stats' section is repeated. Should this be edited?

Wow!
Wow! I just came across this as a random article. jj137 13:38, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

MLB Draft.
According to the GHCHS main page, Elway was drafted by the NY Yankees in 1981. Shall I put this is the section labeled "Draft"?

Source: http://www.ghchs.com/s/379/index.aspx?sid=379&gid=1&pgid=1338&sparam=John%20Elway&scontid=0 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doctor Foci Whom (talk • contribs) 05:52, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Baltimore Colts
Since the records were taken from Baltimore to Indianapolis when Irsay brought the Colts from Baltimore to Indianapolis, there technically isn't any "Baltimore Colts" as far as records are concerned. I think this should be changed to the more neutral wording of 'Colts' rather than specifying a team that technically never existed. Sms231 (talk) 21:11, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, while we're at it, let's correct the articles on Johnny Unitas, Super Bowl III, Super Bowl V and any other reference to the Baltimore Colts... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.100.76.228 (talk) 20:17, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

John Elway should be shown as o the Colts but on practice squad only because that is the team that drafted him CaemanN (talk) 03:18, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Incorrect info
Also, in the section that mentions South Park, it dubs Cartman as the requester of the Elway action figure when in fact it was Stan. The sentence earlier is also missing an important comma. - There is incorrect info on this page, but I can't edit it... It says that Elway is one of 3 players that passed for 3,000 yards in 12 seasons. That is not true. Peyton Manning has done it as well (so it should be four). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scales123456 (talk • contribs) 21:19, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * EDIT*
 * ✅  Eagles   24/7  (C)  21:33, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

In the career highlights section Elway is said to be 5th in career touchdowns with 300 behind "Favre, Dan Marino, Fran Tarkenton and Peyton Manning." Tom Brady now has 358 touchdowns, according to his Wikipedia page. He passed Elway in touchdowns with his first touchdown of 2012. This definitely should have been fixed by now. Also, it appears that many of the statements in the career highlights section do not have citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.15.82.24 (talk) 19:33, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Drew Brees has also passed Elway in touchdown passes. He has 359 according to his Wikipedia page, which is only updated through week 16 of this season. He threw 4 more in week 17. I saw the game, that's the only citation I have. Pro-football-reference.com has it updated. And for that matter, they've got Brady's total at 359, rather than the 358 that his Wikipedia page says. But according to pro-football-reference.com, Elway is indeed 7th in total touchdown passes. (And once it is updated to that, it shouldn't need to be changed for at least a full year and maybe two full seasons, because the next highest active player is Eli Manning at 229.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.15.82.24 (talk) 19:44, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Elway played 1983-1999 not till 1998 his last super bowl was in 1999 so someone need to change his years as a player Varan1958 (talk) 17:19, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Five Super Bowl appearances
" It would be the first of a record five Super Bowl starts at quarterback in Elway's career, a record that he solely held until 2012 when Tom Brady earned his fifth Super Bowl start."

This is false information. The AFC Championship game won't even begin for another 34 hours and the Patriots still have to win for him to be a starter, not to mention avoid injury in the game. 174.253.209.80 (talk) 13:41, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

~NFC/AFC Championship games are done. The New England Patriots are not going to the super bowl so Tom Brady does not have a 5th starter at one 174.253.212.200 (talk) 02:49, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

I discovered the issue here. It's not that he hasn't appeared in 5. It's the date that was confusing. It wasn't the 2012 Season but the 2011 Season where he earned his 5th start.174.253.193.106 (talk) 08:44, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Greeley Harley Davison
Mr Elway I have been a Customer of Greeley Harley Davison For many years and I have a 2003 ultra classic electric glide and the engine light went on so I called your shop and they told me that they can’t work on my bike because it’s too old, I think as a loyal customer that is a poor excuse for not working on my bike. I would appreciate you reaching out to your manager of Greeley Harley Davison and make an exception and get my bike back on the road. My motorcycle is more than just a motorcycle it is my Therapy. I really would appreciate if you could help me out. Thanks John mceldowney. 208.91.32.221 (talk) 00:55, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Problem with his hand

Outdated info
The top summary paragraph says he is the Broncos team president. That is incorrect. He is an outside consultant and the team president is Damani Leech. 208.114.75.167 (talk) 21:53, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Elway is no longer gm
Someone needs to fix this. 2600:1700:7FC0:98B0:DDB:E8F8:D7F5:C60 (talk) 22:24, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Edit Request

 * What I think should be changed (format using textdiff):

 * Why it should be changed:

Granada Hills is not a city, it is a neighborhood within the City of Los Angeles. Examples of other NFL players who attended high school in the City of Los Angeles include:

 * Warren Moon (infobox shows "Los Angeles, California", not "Castle Heights, California")

 * Larry Brown (cornerback) (infobox shows "Los Angeles, California" and not "Mid-Wilshire, California")

 * Vince Ferragamo (infobox shows "Los Angeles, California" and not "Wilmington, California", even though Wilmington is often erroneously thought to be its own city roughly as often as the cities in the San Fernando Valley are)

 * References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): "Granada Hills", Mapping L.A., Los Angeles Times

Lebanese?
This page is in the Lebanese-American category, but is Elway actually Lebanese? Googling it jut gives a bunch of low quality lists of Lebanese football players that include him without any further citation or elaboration. 128.135.204.58 (talk) 18:27, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Rankala Lake

Rankala Lake is a freshwater lake located in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India.

History
Before the eighth century, Rankala was a stone quarry. In the 9th century, an earthquake caused immense structural damage to the quarry, causing water to accumulate from an underground source forming the Rankala Lake. This historic lake features a Hindu temple with a Nandi. According to local Hindu beliefs, Lord Shiva uses the Nandi, moves a single wheat grain towards the lake, and backs about a distance of single rice grain daily. Hindu beliefs state that if Lord Shiva reaches Rankala, the apocalypse will begin.

Tourism
This historical lake is a treasure trove for scenery admirers. Rankala features the Shalini Palace to the north, the "Padmaraje Garden" to the northeast, and a recently developed park towards the southeast bank. Rankala's southeast park has a fresh food market. Activities like horseriding and boating can also be experienced. Shalini Palace, made up of intricately carved black stone and Italian marble, has now been converted into a hotel.
