After almost 30 years, Thurman Munson still has a place in Yankee history.: His widow, Diane Munson, wonders what will happen to his locker when the Yankees move to a new stadium. His locker is kept empty in his honor.

Ex-players to picket HOF: Some former NFL'ers, wanting to draw attention to the inadequate retirement benefits of some, and their dissatisfaction with the NFLPA leadership, are hoping to make a statement in Canton, Ohio this summer.

A Dallas scout was reportedly "baffled beyond belief" by the moves.
And Jer will be "baffled beyond belief" when the 'Boys don't make it pass the first round of the playoffs, if they make it that far.

But upon googling "birthplace of football" it comes up Pittsburgh. I did not know that. I guess Canton, Ohio is The American Professional Football Association, the forerunner of the NFL, was founded in a Canton car dealership on September 17, 1920.
Guess I need to spend the offseason doing some reading.

But I don't live in Pittsburgh ma, I live in the birth place of the NFL.

No, I don't type fast because I am all gazied up on Vicodin.
I just don't think Danica has the talent that usually goes along with all the hype she gets. Yes, she has made a few flashes in the racing world. I would have liked to seen her come out in kick ass when she started in the IRL in '05.
She hasn't really impressed me all that much. It just seems like no matter what race you are watching you have to hear about Danica Patrick (regardless if she is germane to the topic at hand or not. You know...like hearing about the patriots even though you are watching a hard fought battle between two NFC west teams...it's like they HAVE to talk about them relevant or not.
and by the way, there needs to be more Clay Matthews commercials on TV, you think they could have him do one with Houston's Brooks Reed?

Yes, it is from here, ma. I believe I posted it back when she announced she was leaving Indy cars to drive NASCAR full time.
but rcade said it best "Patrick is in the same place as any other athlete whose hype is far out of proportion with his or her achievements"
She is hyped far beyond her abilitiies as a driver, IMHO. She get the bucks and the air time because she is a novelty in a sport that has been losing its "core" fan base for a while now. (as in the bottom line has gotten in the way of "racing"
She won the pole...awesome! But it is where she finishes that matters the most. No one remembers who came in second.
Oh snap! Etrigan outed me why I was typing.

Whoa! owlhouse! That had to have been a wild ride! But for them it might have been "Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!"

I agree dyams, especially the "get rid of the Pro Bowl."

You hit it the nail right on the head, Drood.

We can only hope she will get preggers right away and "retire" to raise their child.
She is one of many reasons why I quit watching NASCAR.

Ahem, looks like Boston, or where ever it was, will have to reset the infamous billboard. Great game.

Retired NASCAR driver Dick Trickle dies of apparent self-inflicted wound
I'll never forget the first time I saw him lighting up and smoking during the yellows back when you could show tobacco products on TV.
I wonder if he had got news he had a terminal disease.
RIP Dick Trickle
