I don't know how you arrived here, but......this blog has moved uptown (to a more viral location). The USPS should have notified you with my new address.
Anyway, the moving van has delivered my boxes, furniture and web appliances to the following location: Toby's Adventures
Apologies for the inconvenience and please remember that it's not my problem
There is not much differnece. They live very well for a few years and then go bankrupt a few years later (after retiring or winning).
The following NY Giant - Mike Strahan article is funny, tragic and illustrates my point. Giant Headache
What's the over/under on how many years after retirement that Strahan files for bankruptcy?
Or maybe a better bet is who files for bankruptcy first.......Ron Mexico (aka Mike Vick) or Strahan?
It's classic how many NFL players treat their earnings exactly like a redneck hitting the Lotto.
The majority are broke 5 years out of the league........
The college season kicks off in less than one month and a thought occured to me about the state of my conference..... Most experts pick LSU this year as the SEC team to beat. I can not argue with that. What is amazing to me is how deep the conference is. Consider league coaches Saban, Meyer, Spurrior and Fulmer. Each coach has a National Championship to his credit in the past decade and yet none are favored this year.
Combine that with an undeated Auburn team also in the last decade and last season's BCS title game blow out.....
And the SEC is a scary good football league.
College football conferences cycle up and down over the years, but recently its been the SEC, USC.....and everybody else.
I'm not a big blog reader myself. I have a short attention span and not much free time. Part of the reason my blogs are so short. Anyway, here are a few friend blogs that are worth a read......
Hank and Tassie are on a cross country road trip (TX to Alaska) and are positng at every stop along the way. Great pics and comentary. I would love to take the same trip, but will just live vicariously thru there trip: blog link
Rayfes doesn't blog much, but he hammers the iPhone in a recent post: blog link
Lisa is a very funny and colorful writer. Her adventures are an entertaining read. She claims to have a large group of subscribers, unlike my faithful five readers. blog link
Y'all probably have already heard about Al Gore III's recent brush with the law. Something about speeding and possession.
I am not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I think his arrest was a big win for Al Sr's global warming awareness campaign.
Think about it.....100 mph in a Prius. Yes, a Prius! I did not know hybrid's were such performance cars. Score one for green and all the new hybrid sales his arrest will generate.
If you waited in line and bought an iPhone this past Friday, 29-Jun-07, please call me!!! I want to be a part of the hype and want to hear how good your voice will sound on a $600 cell. I will have to live vicariously through you via my hand-me-down, hacked, Windows Mobile, audiovox cell. Yes Cingular (or ATT or who ever you are now), I did not sign another contract with your top flight customer service staff because I unlocked a hand-me-down device. And get this on the new iPhone.....no SIM card. Can you say new contract required? Oh well, so much for portability. So, Apple enthusiasts, grab your ankles and enjoy your new toy.
Sitting on a bag of frozen peas. Yes, my life is filled with adventure. Call or Email anytime if you dont understand why I am sitting on vegetables and have frost bite on my back side. My recent procedure brought to light my lack of relationship activity and the fact that my eurologist is effectively my new girlfriend. And he doesn't even know it.
Answer: Pay him for the pizza. Yes, thats his next career, if he's lucky. And I think those three lacrosse players should pursue maximum civil damages. Not for themselves, but for how far that circus-animal DA set back race relations and rape victom rights in NC. And remember to tip Mike well when he drops off that double peporoni special.
Last weekend I bought a running T-shirt at RunTex (Austin run apparel store). A couple days later I changed my mind and returned it. At that moment I knew exactly how Billy felt (changing mind on Orlando Tragic job) and I had much compasion for his situation. It's good to have Billy back at UF for one main reason. Florida'a Atheletic Director (AD) is not the sharpest knife in the block. I know everyone else in the country thinks he is a genius with the 3 consecutive national championships (hoops and football), but us Gators know better. True, Donovan is one of the top five college coaches, but I really fear our AD.
Remember, this same AD that hired Zook (and his no head coaching experience) to replace Spurrior.
I'll support my reptiles no matter what (I went to every Galen Hall coached game), but I was losing sleep about Foley's next circus act.
Now I have no intentions of kicking off anytime soon, although I know a few people who think it would be an improvement to humanity.
This is a Chevy Chase special from Family Vacation adapted for me......
"O God, ease our suffering in this, our moment of great dispair. Yea, admit this kind and decent man into thy arms of thine heavenly area, up there. And Moab, he lay us upon the band of the Canaanites, and yea, though the Hindus speak of karma, I implore you: give him a break."
