Yes. It'll definitely get to where it needs to go if you use that address.

Team Prime2 spent the weekend in Manhattan with Jesus getting buffed and tailored in fine spring linens, there is no better place to go shopping. A Renaissance in a Harbaughesque manner as the whole fam damily and I head to Europe for a little RR/Business for 10 days.

NY/NJ (Teterboro) via Learjet 25 to New Castle, DE in order to jump aboard that new Dissault 7X Falcon to London. What a magnificent jet, 6000nm at nearly 600 miles an hour while sleeping 10, best part didn't cot me a dime, it is good to have partners.

That's what 50M on 3 hooves looks like! NY/NJ-London-Warsaw-Rome-Miami, little exploring and a ton of fun. Will keep you posted. P2 Out...

Former Michigan LB Dhani Jones makes the argument that taking helmets out of football will make football safer. I'm becoming increasingly open to this argument every year.

[Mike]

Agreed. Hockey needs to do something about the hard plastic shells on elbow and shoulder pads, too. It seems that whenever technological advances to equipment are made to increase player safety, that same equipment is basically weaponized by the players. You can barely graze somebody with an elbow "pad" in hockey without concussing them.

Here's a good explanation of the harmful aspects of the evolution of equipment from the Godfather.

About the 1-4 minute mark is the pertinent info.

The basis of the argument is certainly well-founded. Most of us have surely played backyard tackle football. I used to play in hardcore 11v11 games and never once did I have any sort of concussion issues. I did a get a black eye, but meh. Whereas in HSFB there were probably 4 or 5 times where I definitely had my bell rung -- not that anyone cared back in the 90s. Heh.

Dhani's rugby example is good, too. However, the thing with rugby is the absence of the forward pass. I think football could easily be played at the LoS without a helmet, but 20 yard crossing patterns raise the possibility of disaster.

[Hannibal]

Even in the case of a WR going over the middle of the field with the safeties in the neighborhood, the lack of a helmet for the DB might mean that he focuses more on breaking up the pass or limiting YAC than laying on a big hit. What strikes me whenever I watch Aussie rules football and Rugby is how rare big hits are. Guys wrap up and tackle. They focus on the fundmentals of stopping the play rather than delivering pain. I think that football might benefit from that tremendously.

[iam416]

Yeah, fair enough. Aussie Rules and rugby both feature downfield kicks that are similar to football passing.

Damn what a bitch but I still like her.

Think she's high maintenance? Much?

My niece got to meet Carol Hutchins tonight. Big thrill for the little gal. She has good grades in school, and is a fine softball player. Maybe one day ... :-)

Congrats Liney, that explains your protracted interest in women's softball.

As for Hack's affinity for women's clothing, no mystery there.
