Flipper

Yeah, yeah. It's Sunday, looks nice outside - and my wife is already harping about me cutting the grass. a half-acre with a push mower. Can ANYONE recommend a good-quality rider that's worth a $1000 investment?

Yes, I remember that song - all too well. That means I'm old ... and I have ample wisdom (maybe) ... I think Vince will have mega-trouble reading defenses and have happy-feet that will have his coaches and receivers fuming in short time. They'd better have a damn good offensive line or else they will have wasted a top draft pick. No fear, they'll draft high again next year.

Is Europe a safe place to back-pack across the continent? Did you get your pockets picked? Did you dress like an American-ski?

Watch you media! I like what the ESPN guys said this morning. To paraphrase ... "He (Leinart) is going to a better situation in Arizona than he would have in Tennessee. He'll have Fitzgerald an Boldin to thow to, James to hand-off to and a decent offensive coach in Green." Tennessee is a mess ... and off my list of favorites if they snap-it-off in McNair.

I think it's cool that some of the more fortunate are willing to contribute advice on maximizing our retirement potential - but I have a question pertinent to our times: Doesn't 'maxing-out' the wages put into a 401k scare the hell out of anyone when the thought of Enron crosses your mind? Can we really trust these companies to actually give us our money back if they decide to go on a permanent vacation?

Fellas ... It's early and EVERYone's ERA is hovering near the sun ... be patient - or sacrifice Ks.

Didn't blow my skirt up ...

Worse things: Like the 34's sagging to the button ... and still sitting home on the weekends. You need: Fantsay Baseball!

It's a rip. The Home Depot came out last year to price vinyl siding for the rental. I think it's just under 20 squares and they wanted $14k. A 'friend' said he'd do it for about 6 or 7 Gs. Keep shopping.

Can T.O. block upfield?

All I have to say this 10-seconds is that if all of these Mexican protesters (protesting in the US) are here for the jobs then how is it they have time to protest? Shouldn't they be working? Did they call in sick and screw the US economy again?

Space Ace Frehley & Randy Rhoads got me to play. Vinnie Moore, George Lynch and Paul Gilbert influenced my playing along the way. Andy Timmons is VERY underrated.

Dodgers in the series?

Not so much a question of him being a #2 or #3 WR - he can play QB, too!

I'll ride in that car. More than anything I want a chance for Moss to succeed - and make my team 'splosive - not implosive!
