Why would a rinkydinky country like North Korea mess with a powerhouse like the USA? Are these people re ed or just stupid?

I saw something for the first time yesterday.

Keep in mind I;ve been watching football for over 55 years. talking HS, JC. NAIA, NCAA, CFL, AFL, WFL, USFL, NFL, yep, don't watch Arena Football. All that football but had never seen.......

Kicker kicks a FG, it's blocked. So he chases the ball down and kicks it again as it rolls around.....IT'S GOOD~~~~~~

Ya live long enough...........................

[Avante]

When is somebody going to....

reporter....so what's your take on the President calling NFL players...SOB?
NFL player....I'd love to see that old fart say that to my face.

When watching Tyreek Hill play next Monday night keep in mind our very own SFS was faster as just a middle school kid. Hill ran a 20.14, SFS a 20.00.


Tyreek Hill runs 20.14 (US#2 all-time) and 10.19 (US#8 all-time) at 2012 Golden South

[Avante]

Speed and the KC Chiefs.

In 1960 as the Dallas Texans they drafted Stone Johnson an Olympic 200m sprinter out of Grambling. He was a RB. Died from injuries in a preseason game.

They had....

Ken Thomas a 10.0m cat out of SJS, he was a DB they converted to RB, a knee injury did him in. This guy was about as wide as he was tall, out of nearby Hanford. (younger bro of Rams RB Jewerl Thomas)

Sammie Parker a 10.17 out of Oregon.
Jamaal Charles 10.18 out of Texas.
Warren McVea 9.5yds out of Houston.
Eddie Kennison an NFL fastest Man winner out of LSU.
Nolan "Super Gnat" Smith, a 9.4 out of Tennesse State. (he's that speedy little guy in the movie M*A*S*H)

Now add Tyreek Hill the second fastest 200m sprinter in HS history (at the time ) out of Oklahoma State.

In what game?

[Avante]

In what game?

I saw it on some football show that shows the wierd plays from the week, so....? It could have been a HS game.

[Avante]

Of all the strange football stories.....

Bedford County Training School was an all black HS in Shelbyville Tennessee. They won 78 games in a row. And.....for the first three years of that streak they were un scored on. But......this is really amazing, in that three year period no opponet crossed the 50 yard line on them. That is hard to believe. 52 games before being scored on.

Dude, when all you ever do 100% of the time is bug others with your stupid bull , it's real easy to assume it's just more of your tired worn out negative bull .

Will your got ass ever grow up?

I'm standing is this long line at this thrift shop in town, yep..felt like Davey Crockett at the Alamo, I was surrounded by Mexicans. I had a couple CD's...

Bone...thugs n' harmony
Vendetta Red...Sisters of the Red Death

As I moved along slowly (Mexicans always have a load of clothes) I'm thinking about bailing and the with these CD's. Then I noticed a book rack, one of those that spin around. So all of a sudden.....NIGHT SCHOOL...the latest Jack Reacher*** novel, the only one I didn't have in the series. (there is another one on the way). Now I must stay in line.

So what starts out a bummer..........................

*** Lee Child just couldn't help himself, this one has Reacher involved with.......terrorists.

I'm only on page 44 but have already been told that Reacher is 6-5 250. How they ever used Tom Cruise to play the hulking Jack Reacher...??? The size of Reacher is always played up in the novels, the fact he's a big powerful badass is part of the stories, so.........Tom Cruise???

Robert E, Howards....Conan.........movie

avante, child, and what the pimp saw.

Dude, start a thread, do something, anything besides the same old worn out bull , ok? Aren't you bored with that stupid by now?

Little people....

I was 19-22 in the Navy, I knew...0....about bars*** in Hong Kong, Olongapo, Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok...ok? I knew...0...about sex slavery in the early 70's. I never ever even thought of age at all. Nobody did and nobody cared. Why would you you were in a bar? What would some kid be doing in a bar? All this ..pedo... crap is so stupid it's comical. A sick ass pedo goes looking for kids, that wasn't my situation at all. If some of those working girls were younger than 18 I didn't know it....ok? I do know I never saw anyone where it was....she sures looks young....that nevrer happened.

So why some of you like this idiot above play that stupidity only shows how ed up you are.

It's all about mood. Sometimes it just has to be the old primitive blues and a Pegleg Howell, other times I need The Gap Band, other times Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys, then Bonnie Raitt, or a night of CCR, Eagles, ZZ Top. ....The Sex Pistols, Linkin' Park, The Clash, Offspring, etc.
