Football, national championship game....

Do they call that ''The toilet bowl''

What ever they call it, its a great game....

Yes it is. Auburn vs. Oregon. BCS National Championship.
That Auburn QB is pretty hot. And Oregon is a great team. Who do you like, Frank?

I'm rooting for the Ducks, but don't think they are going to win, seems to me that Auburn is a bit better then Oregon, so far anyway....

Looks that way. I don't care who wins, no Trojans on the field.
But to me, all this ends on New Years day. Used to be the Rose Bowl was #1, on the 1st, and then done.
College is cool, but we're getting close to the Super Bowl. My college football candle blows out about 11pm, every January 1st.
With USC in dry dock, I only watch the NFL.
But you're right, Frank. It's a great game.

[THEHAMMER321]

Good morning all, went out at midnight a couple hours ago it was freezing 33 degrees, for us that's cold, skip the coffee might have some hot chocolate with whip cream.

Missed the end of the game. My lights (sleep.. ) went out in the 3th qt.

What the hell are you doing out at midnight??....

God does not think he is a doctor but doctors think they are God.

Frank, my light for college football went out when USC was taken out of the mix.
Any chance you'll make the GSBA meeting today? I have a late set call, 1pm.
I'll go if you are going to be there.
It sounds like your at the doctor right now. Hope you don't have to wait to long.

[Rick Farris]

Sharron Angle, Michelle Buckman, Sarah Palin, Rush, Beck and other crazy right-wingers irresponsible statements are coming to fruition....

Do we have evidence that he was motivated by the individuals you mentioned Frank? I know all about the political rhetoric coming from both sides. Do we have proof he was motivated or encouraged by any of it? I dont think so. He looks to be a lunatic.

I'm an American with an opinion, but I'm not going to jump into any type of political conversation with my amigos here.
I'm not educated politically or qualified to give too strong of an argument based on facts.
I can talk boxing. I can't compete in a political arena.
I'll say this about the guy who shot those poor souls in Arizona, he's nuts. He, and he alone, is responsible for that action.
This had nothing to do with politics, or gun laws.
Have you seen his mug shot photo?
The sad thing about America is, now we will baby sit him for years while they try to sort out what to do with him.

My oncologist send me to see a urologist, I asked why, "just routine he said", since I didn't have an appointment with the urologist I had to wait a while, no problem, I had my note book computer to play with, finally my name is called, I'm put in a room, soon the door opens and a big black dude walks in, man!, this dude is big. He said hello and then he said:
"Drop'em" as he starts putting a latex glove on.
Man!, this guy hands are as big as Sonny Liston's.
"If you are going to do what I think you are going to do, you better use your pinkie" I said.
He started cracking up.
"Hey, its not funny, you know" I told him.
He did what I thought he was going to do, and no; he didn't use his pinkie
I'm still sitting here at Norris Cancer Center as I write this, I'm free to go, but I'm afraid to walk out because people are going to see that I'm walking like a duck......

Maybe you'd have had a better time at the GSBA lunch?

You're not wrong, Frankie. Bring back 15-rounders, and all these novices would never be challenging for world titles.

Bennie, Thanks for clearing up the info on the Haye-Klitschko fight for me (us).
The newspapers here in New York are terrible when it comes to reporting whats going on in the boxing world- especially if the fights are in other cities or countries. Only if fights are fought in New York, do we hear anything all about whats going on in the divisions.
A far cry from what it was in the 70's and before. Very sad. Today most of the up-to-date info must be ascertained by the folks on HBO or Showtime. Very sad again.
Thank you for your diligence on whats going on over there in England,Germany and such.

As boxing progressed into the 80's & 90's, my father, who was a heavy banger in his day, became very disenchanted at many of the fighters who called themselves fighters. He referee'd for 20 years here in New York, and was given primarily many of the heavyweight fights that were on the card. The NY commissioners like John Branca,Patterson,Torres & Randy Gordon knew he could handle the big heavies (many tipping the scales at 230 or better by now) and get in there to separate them if need be. He did a few fights of Mike Dokes, Renaldo Snipes and other local heavies. I would go with him on many of these nights and sit ringside to watch up close the precedings.
Though many of the fighters looked in shape, by the 6th or 7th round they were sucking air.When one fighter caught the other guy with a good punch, he would try to follow up,and tire himself out again. Many times, these guys would turn to my father and ask him to stop the fight as they would get the decision and he could go home with a fighters paycheck.The opponent was still throwing punches and could continue. By the 9th round both fighters were just walking the ring with nothing left in the tank.
My father would tell them to fight,but they did little.
This was very typical and my father was disenchanted with the way they wanted the fight the end early and they can go home a winner. We would discuss that each time in the car on the way home.
Two of the fights I am talking about are on DVD: Renaldo Snipes vs Terry Armstrong
and Snipes vs Lionel Washington. My father was ref for both.
Also Dokes vs KP Porter.
15 rounds - these guys were lucky to go 6 rds. without keeling over. My father never stopped them and sometimes caught hell from the commission for letting some fights go on,he knew the boxers tolerances,and probably of the way my father fought going the distance in many, he let them fight on till a clear winner.Things changed from the 50's, but he wanted the fighters to earn their money.And felt they owed it to the crowd too.
