    There's no way he was 17.

    He was 17 at the time when we both were posting.

    I was friends with him on FB.

You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    Bought a house 6 months ago. House repairs grind my gears big time, and it seems like it never stops....
    In the town where I was born
    Lived a man who sailed to sea
    And he told us of his life
    In the land of submarines
    So we sailed up to the sun
    'Til we found a sea of green
    And we lived beneath the waves
    In our yellow submarine

    I think there was something mentally wrong with him, he used to send weird angry PM's to people. I don't know what specifically got him banned though.

    I don't remember the pm thing. I thought that was more of the Dutchy situation. Suns was just ramping up his anti-Sox trolling and was banned for not providing anything useful to say. I believe YOTN has tried to reach out and see if he would come back.

    Never mind Suns, it's SBF I miss.
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    Today America lost one of it's greatest athletes Nicky Hayden.

    Most of you have never heard of him. He was known as The Kentucky Kid and World Champion in Moto GP ( the highest level in motorcycling road racing ).

    He was hit by a car while out for a training ride on his bicycle in Italy.

    I am bummed big time. He was 35 which is about 10-15 years older than those he competed against. Everyone who new him thought he was one of the nicest people they had known. He was not some self-inflated ego that we see so often in sports and one of this country's greatest racers of all time.

    RIP 69.

    How did you get into Moto GP Spud? Did you use to ride a motorcycle?

    I still need to get to the Moto GP event here in Austin. I'm not much of a gear head, but have had interest in racing since the Circuit of America's was built here.

    I still remember one night the wife and I were in east bum f somewhere in Turkey in a bar run by an Ozzie..... I was wearing a Circuit of America's beenie..... the guy came over and explained for an hour how much better Moto racing was over F1. Pretty much I remember him saying they passed each other a bit, where F1 no one ever passes anyone........ totally random......... but I'll never forget it....

    His problem as I remember is that he resembled a trash can, or possibly a table-leg...

    To my wonderful husband who does all the grocery shopping, cooks all the food, gets the kids ready in the morning and puts them to bed at night. Here's some socks and underwear.

    And the next commercial that shows dads as incompetent buffoons will cause me to break my tv in half.

    Well dads pretty much are goofballs, you can't argue that.

    That said, they are still awesome!




    Happy Father's Day!!!
