  1. Edit to say: I just reread your question. No I haven't called in, but was called in to speak about something - on tv. HYE....visited the Statue of Liberty?
  2. Yes HYE....been a dj on the radio?
  3. Jacksonville is the worst on paper, to me. Oakland added some good players this offseason.
  4. All I can say is the way this tragic event is being covered by the media is disgusting! Trying to sensationalize this with old clips of Tony Stewart getting fired up and then trying to make a connection to this tragedy with them is beyond bad "journalism". Some are strongly suggesting that Tony Stewart intentionally hit this guy. Rachel Nichols just did a story implying that on CNN. They should all be ashamed of themselves, but then again it's just another day in the fantasy world that is the media! Don Henley had it right over 30 years ago....
  5. Burgers Grilled meat or smoked meat
  6. Close HYE....called into a radio show?
  7. So why do you hang out on a Zeppelin board, under various names, if you feel that way? Oh yeah...

    Hope some here are watching this PGA Championship! 4 of the world's top players within 1 of each other. Mickelson and McIlroy tied for the lead, Stenson and Fowler 1 off!
  10. It's the 24 hours of Watkins Glen right now! The third red flag of the day with 4 laps to go. First, some background info on this historic track: the walls aren't like oval tracks, which are concrete and have "safer barriers" (aluminum covers for the wall)attached to lessen the force on the driver/car who is crashing into the wall. WG has basically old school guard rails painted blue. They've had these for years. In some places they have stacks of tires in front of the guard rails to help slow the impact, however with heavier 3,400 lb. stock cars they can act as a trampoline effect and send the car straight back into the racing groove. That's what happened earlier today. Ryan Newman was trying to avoid wrecking a car in front of him, who had just almost spun, and then Newman's car was spun by the car behind him. His car flew off the stacks of tires, back into the middle of the track, where he hit the 95 car's back end. That tore the rear end housing out of the 95 car and sent part of it over a retaining fence. Luckily nobody was standing or sitting there. Bottom line is, it's time to find a better system for keeping the cars from doing this as it seems to be an annual occurrence anymore at WG. It's a great racetrack that needs to be worked on and modernized. Getting ready to restart. If you like road course racing, turn on espn! Go #4!
  11. Cassel, Bridgewater, or that kid that went to FSU and was drafted by them a couple of years ago. I see some Dallas alumni coaches there though....so they can't ve all that bad!
  12. RIP Kevin Ward Jr. This happened in Rick's neck of the woods. It will be very interesting to see how Tony Stewart is effected by this. The facts are this 20-year-old got out of his car after being spun in a "racing incident", went towards open wheel cars going 50+ mph (under caution, so they weren't racing), in a dimly lit dirt track, to voice his displeasure with being spun out by Stewart in mind. He got too close to Tony's car, Stewart wasn't able to see Ward, and Ward was thrown 50 feet in the air after being touched by his tire. You could see Tony trying to steer away from the kid at the last second, but it was too late. Sad, but avoidable. It is not common for drivers to get out of their cars and walk down the track towards the moving racecars - before the safety vehicles show up to get the wreck area secured. That's something that needs to be addressed.
  13. Ahhh, you've gotta love preseason optimism!
  14. No, not really Paul. He should only play in 2 preseason games anyway. I'm more worried about this Swiss cheese defense we have - again! Too many injuries already. If Romo's back goes out again, we need to take a dive for the rest of the season and get Winston when he leaves FSU for the pros next year!
  15. Good for you ebk! I'm sitting in a hotel room at Clearwater Beach, waiting for the thunder/lightening to pass by so we can get back out there!
  16. It's Jerry's World....we're just living in it!
  17. Easy now, ebk! I was just gonna say that I didn't think he had that surgery either. Thank you for confirming that. This looks like your year, O's fans.
  18. Hey there, pph haven't seen around much lately.
  19. Thanks Steve, I knew you would have the precise info.
  20. Yes HYE....had a BB gun war with your friends?
