theCHIVE tried the 9-9-9 Challenge and completely struck out on common sense

“Great moments are born from great opportunity. And that’s what you have here, tonight, boys. That’s what you’ve earned here tonight. One game.” That’s the late, great Herb Brooks with the most inspirational speech ever given by a head coach.

I’m not saying that he was referring to Durham and myself that day in Lake Placid, but I’m not saying that he wasn’t, either.

One random Friday in 2024, we took it upon ourselves to do the unthinkable, the improbable, the idiotic… We attempted the 9-9-9 Challenge while watching the Chicago Cubs take on the Miami Marlins.
