Dang that's too bad. I also was very sad to see him leave, when I was growing up I had 5 sports heroes (Bo Jackson, Frank Thomas, Derrick Thomas, John Stockton, and Karl Malone.) Obviously we know Jackson, Stockton, and Malone are retired and Derrick Thomas is dead, but Frank was the last remaining player on my favorite team.

That is a very cool story.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 11:25 AM) Since Vander Plaats joined Nussle's campaign here I wonder if that will have much effect on the goings on around here. Yay, my first gubernatorial election in November. It will, I'm surprised Nussle isn't winning actually. But this will be a tight race and in the end I'm thinking and hoping Nussle pulls through.

Yay

Oh don't get into that, the French did it also because of their hatred for Britain, your enemies enemy is your friend sort of deal. I am grateful for them helping out none the less but we've returned the favor easily in both World Wars.

This stuff is very cool, I'd like to see if ghosts do exist or not. I don't really know what to think, I guess I'll believe it when I see it. There aren't too many places in Iowa that I know about.

I'd like to see McCain run in '08 but I don't think it's going to happen. The Republicans will probably want someone more on the right side compared to McCain's moderate standards, who knows though.

I'd like to see Buehrle, Garcia, Contreras, Vazquez, Garland

It's true though, this is my opinion but I'm sure the French know stuff about Osama that they aren't telling. The French always love to point the finger in someone elses direction.

I think this is the right move, can't wait to see Mack out there at times.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 06:48 PM) And a true perfectionist. I really liken him to the type of guy Greg Maddux was when it came to executing. We'll see if he can have that sort of career (it would be pretty awesome). I love how calm and confident he is on the mound. If he becomes anything close to Greg Maddux I'll be a happy man. I'm hoping for that also.

I think it's a good decision letting him walk, granted we don't know what Rivers can do, but they drafted him to start, sooner or later he's going to start for them or another team. I'm not that impressed with Drew Brees so I think it's a good move.

I got a good laugh outta it.

I'd like to think 1 Big Ten team will make it. I have no clue who though. When I look at this conference I see some really good teams capable of making it to the Sweet 16, and I see some good teams that should win their first round. Illinois, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Iowa I think have an excellent shot at making it to the Sweet 16. Wisconsin and Michigan will probably have to battle and make sure they're on the top of their game. Right now I'm guessing 3 make it to the Sweet 16, 2 make it to the Elite 8, and 1 makes it to the Final Four, who it is, I have no clue.

I'm uncomfortable just reading everyone's posts.

I'm actually excited for the WBC, it's taking equally as much interest as spring training for me this year.

McDowell, Fernandez, Alverez, Bere. They all were pretty sucessful with the Sox, but afterwards they didn't have that great of a career. Fernandez did win a World Series ring but that's about it.

Rocker's an idiot, but he'll keep doing stuff to get some publicity.

Hats off to all 42 presidents.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 19, 2006 -> 11:01 PM) I never said I thought it was sick or wrong. so what do you think about it the death penalty then? I don't have time go to look throw the many previous posts of yours.

Happy Birthday

I think he's gonna do it.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Feb 19, 2006 -> 08:52 PM) This has been one incredibly bad all-star game. And what the hell is wrong with Ernie Johnson's face? I didn't see it, but I've noticed he's really aged over the past couple of years.

haha watchin Yao do a little dance was hilarious. I can't wait to see this Western Conference "Big Lineup" in the 2nd half. They mentioned this: Guards: Garnett and Nowitzki Forwards: Duncan and Gasol Center: Yao
