pinkstones Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Michael Vick is not sorry he did what he did, sorry that he maliciously caused the deaths of those animals. He is sorry he got caught. He's a sociopath. Don't most serial killers get their start torturing and maiming animals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkstones Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Ian Kinsler (Texas Rangers) got hit in the head in the Texas/Boston game that just ended a few minutes ago. Fortunately he was able to stay in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 So I wore my #6 Chargers jersey in honor of tonight's game. My kid and I (he in a #21 Chargers jersey - go LT!!) were with Andy and his kids all wearing their Seahawks stuff. The funny part is that my #6 jersey is maybe as old as his kids - I used to love, love, love Rolf Benirschke back in the day, and he was #6. Tonight, one of Andy's sons was razzing me relentlessly about #6 being the 3rd string QB, Whitehurst. Turns out ol' Whitehurst almost won the game for 'em.

Shawna Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 the irony is that my ex-husband is also a Seahawks fan. I can't get away from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 on a related note: I don't care much for the showy attitude of (most of) the sprinters at all In this regard I like the athletes of the heptathlon and decathlon (the "Kings of the athletes", as they are called here) much more - where else would you see every competitor doing a thank-you walk around the stadium after the event - everyone together from world champion to last place? It's sad they don't get noticed more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I've often wondered why most sports games use a ball? I'm sure someone will tell me when it first started. Hint . . . tt was about one hundred-thousand-million years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Has any team been more snakebitten than the Mets this year?This year The Mets have been dropping like flies and also just dropping flies. I'll use this forum for a trip to Ron's glory days... I was a pretty good baseball player and I loved to lean over the plate. I got hit with a lot of pitches. When I was 16, I was the top home run hitter in my league...I was crowding the plate and WHAM...right in the head. (Make the jokes short and sweet). Anyway, luckily it wasn't 95 miles per hour and it didn't hurt, but it sure stunned me and got me pissed off. I know it wasn't on purpose, but I was angry that the pitcher couldn't control his pitches better than that. So, I head towards first and fling my back directly at my bench...there was no dugout or protective fence, so all my teammates had to dive to avoid my bat. It came closest to this guy named Ray...Ray was huge...how huge you say??? He got a football scholarship to Purdue as an offensive lineman. He essentially threatened my life for flinging that bat, but as I said...I was mad... End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Blanka Vlasic and some more interesting trivia I heard yesterday: she was named after Casablanca, because around the time of her birth her father, a decathlete, participated in the Mediterranean Games there.
