It’s mid-February.  It is not the most happening time in sports right now.  When that happens at Top 7 headquarters, it’s time to go deep into the topic back and pull something out.  Anything.  For this week, that happens to be Full House episodes related to sports.  Full House isn’t all about The Rippers, the Smash Club, Comet, and the Ranger Joe Show.  No, they can throw some sports themes out there too.  It’s impossible to at least not sneak a peak if Full House is on, just as it’s not possible to throw up in your mouth a little bit as you watch.

7. Danny wins at pool and darts
Challenging one Daniel Tanner to any game is a mistake, and Uncle Jesse learned that the hard way, when he battled him in some pool to try to settle a dispute.  Danny destroyed him.  A distraught Jesse then challenged him to darts, which Danny aced as well.  Jesse and Joey then took to gambling on spinning in a chair.
 

6. Stephanie dances
Steph is versatile, and she joined the dance team with some friends, practicing to MoTownPhilly, the version of it that you would find on a generic karaoke CD.  What happened to Boyz II Men?  They rule.
 

5. Joey plays hockey
Joey plays in a celebrity hockey game for charity that is inexplicably also on local San Francisco radio, hosted by Jesse (before Becky takes over for him).  His archrival plays against him, but the real battle for him becomes weighing playing hard and scary, and not frightening Michelle to the point that she does not want to hug him. 
 

4. Jesse plays basketball with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
When Full House pulled off a celebrity appearance, it didn’t have to be the Beach Boys that made the appearance.  Kareem became Jesse’s personal coach in another one of those charity events, this time basketball, and figured out that Jesse had a “sweet spot” that he could not miss from.  Kareem has been steadily downhill since Airplane.  He has been in Full House and Slam Dunk Ernest.
 

3. Danny and Joey play basketball
In the history of classic hoops matchups, Gladstone/Tanner is up there with Chamberlain/Russell, Bird/Magic, and James/Kobe.  This particular game got a bit heated, as Danny was jealous of Joey and Jesse’s developing friendship, and Danny took his ball and went home.
 

2. Michelle falls off a horse
This one is hard to discuss, it sadly ended the Full House series, and life has not been the same since.
 

1. The Tanner Twister
Throwing the ball around in the backyard, Danny discovers that Stephanie has a wicked curve ball.  She joins the team, but is forced to choose between winning for her team, or giving her boyfriend Brett a good pitch to drop a bomb off of.  She has to seek counsel from pitching coach DJ.  Had she served up the long ball, it would have probably haunted her career much like Chan Ho Park leaving one out there for Cal Ripken in his final All-Star Game.

The Top 7 is written by Jason Major.  He heard from Lorimar Television and Miller-Boyett Productions that Brett was Stephanie's meth-pusher.  Email him at jason@joesportsfan.com
