  1. I think it will be Williams. But with trades looming, who really knows. Winston going to Tampa is the only certainty, IMO.
  2. Achilles Last Stand - April 28, 1977 - Cleveland
  3. Wainwright out for the season... Achilles injury - killer for a pitcher!
  4. The reasons why they only toured Japan, IpMan, were the ticket sales for the U.S. Tour were poor, so it was canceled, and then Jimmy got the invite from Robert to play with his band for the mtv special. It sucked because we had 3rd row seats for the C/P show here and Vince Neil was supposed to open too.
  5. Here is a comic book that has sitting around for years. A friend gave it to me back in the early 90's I believe.
  6. Just saw this post....too funny!
  7. Spring has sprung! Took these of the baby swans at Lake Eola Park yesterday as I was walking back from recess with my son's class.
  8. Can't believe the Yanks are in 1st place in the AL East, even with the season only being at the 1/10th mark. Never would've thought they would even sniff first this season with their lineup.
  9. They could, but when playing he is one of the premiere pass rushers in the NFL. He is signed only to a 1-year deal.
  10. Another one... http://forums.ledzeppelin.com/index.php?/topic/19296-pre-led-zeppelin-jimmy-page-songs/#entry652635
  11. Here is another thread pertaining to Jimmy's studio work, pre-Zeppelin. There are a number of them in the pre-/post-Zeppelin area, with lots of good information about Jimmy and JPJ. http://forums.ledzeppelin.com/index.php?/topic/1175-jimmy-and-john-pauls-session-work/page-4
  12. He wasn't "suspended" last year, he was put on the commissioner's "exempt list". He missed 15 games, but was paid still by the Panthers. In North Carolina, the first part of the judicial system puts you up in front of a judge. At that time the prosecution is allowed to put forth their evidence and then the judge makes a decision based on that. The judge found him guilty of DV. The next step is an appeal where you go in front of a jury and a real trial takes place. He appealed, but by then the women in question dropped the charges because she stopped showing up to court. So, ultimately the charges were dropped. "God"dell investigated it for the NFL and said that there was enough evidence for him to say there was a violation of the personal conduct rule the NFL agreed to with the NFLPA. However, when the offense took place the maximum was a 6 game suspension, without pay. If you remember Ray Rice received a 2 game suspension last year before the video hit the living rooms everywhere in the U.S., then he was put on the "exempt list". Hardy will appeal this ruling and at maximum he should receive 6 games for a charge that he ultimately wasn't found guilty for and has already missed 15 games for. I'm obviously not down with a guy who throws women around, but there is also a legal system in place for a reason. "God"dell is trying to make the league look good to the public basically saying "rules be damned, I'm gonna show that I have high standards for our league and this guy is gonna pay".... How many times should he be disciplined? He is looking at missing 25 games now, for a violation that he was never found guilty for in the end. As far as the Cowboys go, he doesn't get any guaranteed money from the contract he signed - it's all incentives, based on how many games he plays and how he performs. The appeal should take approximately 100 days to be heard and ruled on, based on past precedent.
  13. Jack White show on pbs this Saturday night at 11 eastern. It is from the 2012 Austin City Limits series.
  14. By almost, I meant it was almost gone forever. Yes, good thing it was salvaged. As far as Zeppelin master tapes go, I believe Jimmy has always had possession of them. If Atlantic did, how were Zep II masters released as a bootleg? I'm sure someone around here knows for sure. SAJ?
  15. C'mon, that would take all the fun out of starting 3 threads a day.... In Jimmy's haze, at the time, it seems like he didn't even know where the cupboard was! Since then they "found" the alternate version of 'Presence' in an unknown box, "Baby, Please Come Home" was almost thrown away among other things that have come up since. Crazy to think a perfectionist in the recording studio like Jimmy, would be so haphazard with the master tapes of their recordings. Sign of the times, I guess.
  16. Yep, it should be fun! You guys are the toast of NYC right now....but with that comes expectations. I surprised the Yanks are where they are right now. But then again, it is April!
  17. Greg Hardy suspended 10 games without pay. Appeal to come... When the offense took place, the personal conduct rule was 6 games for a first time offender. The courts have upheld the fact Goodell cannot change the bargaining agreement however he wants. So, it will be appealed and should be brought back down to 6 games.
  18. Buffalo will be tough in December, that is true. Dallas has always struggled at Rich Stadium. It'll be fun banter, as always!
  19. He is from Detroit originally, Rick.
  20. Sounds like golfing weather to me, cp! Hot here again! Going up to 90 today. That makes it almost a month straight with above avg high temps.
  21. Thanks for the review Strider. I definitely plan on checking that out!
  22. That's what Mrs. Walter was asking. If Harvick is in the championship 4-some at Homestead, that takes priority. I know I have Monday off, since it's leading into t-giving week. You never know....I DO know for a fact I won't be in Buffalo on 12/27 for the "Great Wall of Dallas II"'s ass kicking of the Bills!
  23. November 22, Dallas at Miami! Same day as the Homestead NASCAR finale....
