The original thread from 2008 has been locked for some reason, it can be found here https://www.mjjcommunity.com/threads/october-13-14-2008.56373/

Copied from original thread and added updates from here

Jim Zorn produced another of those priceless visual moments that have become standard at his weekly news conferences. The Washington Redskins coach lifted his shoulders and began strutting in place — maybe a hint of a Michael Jackson moonwalk? — to emphasize his point.


Oh the memories. I remember my first Walkman device (it played cassette tapes) and being able to walk around while jamming to Journey, The Eagles and yes... I'm man enough to admit it: Michael Jackson. Mobile music certainly put a spring in my step back then. Now that we're in the 21st century, the venerable Walkman lives on, but with more bells and whistles

If Michael Jackson's music videos of the late '80s have taught us anything, it's that the world would be a much better place if conflicts were sorted out by dance-offs rather than, y'know, knives and bombs and stuff. Watching a couple of mean gangsters pirouetting around each other is far more civilised (and amusing) than seeing them knee one another in the knackers.
