  1. Crable has awesome athletic abilities to play rush-backer in a 3-4. So far he hasn't been able to really transfer that physical ability to play on the field. At Michigan he would sometimes make great plays but also disappear for long stretches. He'd be worth a look,but I wouldn't get my hopes up that he'd ever be a difference maker.
  2. I don't know how the smaller programs could afford it. I heard Mack Brown say on CFL that only 19 programs made money last year. All the rest (around 90 programs) lost money on football. Unless there was some sort of revenue sharing I don't see how it could be done. And even if there was revenue sharing,is there really enough money to go around?
  3. Tatum tried to see Stingley in the hospital shortly after the hit. He was turned away by Stingleys family,who accused him of dirty play and blamed him for the incident. Tatum tried a few more times over the years and was always rebuffed. The only way he was ever going to reconcile with Stingley is if Tatum accepted blame,apologized and asked for forgiveness. He wasn't going to do that,as he felt he had done nothing wrong. It was a hard,clean hit. The kind of hit football fans love as long as the opponent gets up. It was an unfortunate incident that has been told from only one side by most of the media.
  4. Yeah,you read it on the internet so it must be true. You should try finding out the whole story before ripping a man after he's passed. You stay classy buddy.
  5. You don't know what you're talking about. Tatum was a very private person and because of that,he came off to some as unremorseful. In truth,although he felt he did no wrong,the Stingley incident haunted him. I met him several times,at various Raider functions over the years,and he was a very humble and classy guy. Rest in peace Jack.
  6. Watching College Football Live today and there was lots of discussion about paying college athletes. On one hand I think a full ride scholarship is plenty of compenation,but I can also see the merit of giving a stipend to student-athletes who help bring in millions of dollars. These kids aren't even allowed to have a summer job,maybe $1,000 a month wouldn't be a bad idea. But it also opens up a can of worms. Who would get the stipends? All athletes,or just ones in sports that bring in revenue? And how would it effect small programs? I don't know,I'm on the fence on this one. What do you guys think????
  7. You may get called a yanqui in Venezuela,but only if you pissed somebody off.
  8. I never had faith in Obama to begin with. I have hope that he will be an effective president,not faith. I only have faith in my family and God. With the current situation the country is in,it would be very difficult to be a popular president imo. Hopefully he has the political skills to work with both sides to get thru these tough times. If the Republicans are able to take the congress in the next election that would be a good thing. It seems our country works best with a split in power that makes the 2 sides work together.
  9. I'm not into hard rock but in the mid-late 80's I went with a friend and saw Van Halen,Scorpions and Mettalica at Candlestick Park,San Francisco. Big mistake. I liked the Scorpions.I had never listened to them before,but thought they sounded great. Van Halen and Metallica were HORRIBLE,just super loud noise and screaming. I actually fell asleep!
  10. I saw them too. I wasn't a kid tho,I just happened to be at the county fair the night they were playing. Best concert I've seen was Santana and Los Lobos in Sacramento in the mid '80s.
  11. I like it! I'd like to take it for a long,hard drive. It looks like a convertible. Have any pictures with the top off?
  12. You wanna know why some of these cats look at everything in such a pessimistic way? Cuz they're losers. They look at their sports team with such a critical,pessimistic eye cuz thats how they look at everything. Thats just them. It's no use arguing with them,they'll just tell you you're stupid and you'll never change their minds anyway. Ignore them and focus on the many cool,fair minded people on this board. There's plenty of them.
  13. I agree! I hate it when doctors feel the need to throw their 2 cents in on medical issues!
  14. Tapatio is my favorite and it's cheap too. After reading the article I'm gonna have to give Franks a try.
  15. How come he beat up Rihanna??? Good guys don't beat their chicks.
  16. What exatly is a mid life crisis???? I've heard the term before but I don't really know what it means. I'm 49 and have slowly mellowed over the years but haven't had any kind of crisis that I know of.
  17. Just pulled some carne asada off the grill. Beef flank soaked in a citrus marinade and grilled for 5 to 7 minutes on a HOT grill. Served with grilled green onions,grilled corn,black beans and rice. Washing it down with a Tecate. Damn good.
  18. Brohm will be interesting to watch. He had a very good college career and came out highly ranked in the draft but hasn't had any success in the NFL so far. This is a great opportunity for him. Without reading any scouting reports,my impression is he has a similar skill set to Edwards,but was much more productive in college. Hopefully one of these guys will grab hold of the job and win it,rather than just being picked to start cuz because he screwed up less than the other guy.
  19. I agree it would probly sell,but anybody who would pay to see it is sick in the head. Just my opinion.
  20. I usually start with a quality rub. Then pound it till it's tender and limp. Repeat.
