Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I see the SEC's player-buying programs are at it again. Nice to be a fan of a clean program.

Since, as Mrs. GeneJockey says, "I don't follow hockey," my first thought was, Why does the Securities and Exchange Commission care about single player (vs multiplayer)?

Watch Saban's right foot go into action when he said that. Went from slow twitch to fast twitch right before he said it.

How do you know those guys are lying? Their lips are moving.

That includes your guys, by the way.

I watched Rich Eisen interview Ray Lewis last evening. Ray said that he watched so much film on the Patriots that he knew the play by the way the linemen put their hands down. Bent fingers was a run; straight was a pass. If the man in the slot had his left leg forward it was one play and if the right was forward it was another. Was it all true? Maybe, maybe not, but it was entertaining.

was packing for the race tomorrow this evening and was informed no cat 5 can race. i would have to buy an annual race license and auto upgrade to cat 4. Stars didn’t align so will have to wait, I understand why but still really bummed. didn’t plan on getting an annual license this year due to my schedule.

I don't know that specifically, but there are tells like that all over. There are plenty of cases of a player on offense telling the linebacker he lined up in the wrong position, or vice versa.

I hope you find a path, and that your child can get through this in a healthy way.
Thanks, hopefully so. Most therapists are only accepting self pay right now too.

I have personal experience with that. No fun. Sh*t gets expensive, but if it helps get healthy then its just the cost of doing business.

And regardless, he'd sell his soul just as fast if he had any buyers. Or in this case, he'd do the buying if he could afford it. Sour grapes.

Guess who's touring in a couple months! I haven't seen 'em since 1988ish, with New Order and Gene Loves Jezebel.

Somehow my trailer light plug fell out of the little clip I had it in and was dragging on the freeway this morning. A couple times it bounced up and hit the car a couple times and I thought my car was falling apart. Didn't see any parts in the rear view mirror though, so I just kept on driving in to work. Luckily I spotted the culprit immediately upon exiting the coffee shop and didn't end up doing this:
