Re: Off Topic 2011

So, would you A) like to be a professional athlete, or B) your kid becomes a professional athlete?

You can't choose both obviously. I think I would go with B. I think I'd go with B. I love sports, but just thinking about it, it is my kids.

Probably B just to show that parents don't have to screw their kids up "cough" Todd Marinovich "cough"

Easily the kids. I can mooch off of their winnings and fame without doing any work, and my kid's dreams are fulfilled.

Reminds me... Years ago, one of my neighbors and his kid (probably or 6 or 7 at the time) would play catch out in the street... The sad thing was that whenever the kid missed a throw or a catch, his dad would berate him with all sorts of expletives and putdowns. Four letter words, insults of gender "you throw like a girl, sissy!"... It was very loud and hard to ignore. Kid ended up crying a lot.

Finally got to talk to them again at a recent block party... The kid is in his teens now... I find out that he absolutely hates sports and doesn't follow any of the local teams or play for leisure. Wasn't surprised by that, but it was still tough to hear... Oh well.

Re: Off Topic 2011

A guy that graduated from a local high school here, has been missing since Saturday night. He went to visit his brother in Birmingham, but hasn't returned home and his brother says he left his house that night and hasn't heard from him since. Family and friends are doing everything they can to get the word out and family and a huge number of volunteers are going to search for him tomorrow. I'm hoping for the best for him, but I fear the worst. The parents have absolutely no leads and there's a lot of space inbetween Highway 280/Birmingham and here in Jasper. All they know is the time of arrival/departure, and what he was driving..


I've got a great uncle who went missing when I was a little kid and was never heard from again, so I somewhat know how they feel.. he was really close, but also had enemies that we never knew about..

I just hope they find him... they've even made a facebook page and it's been blowing up with people wanting to volunteer or do whatever they can.

I checked my facebook page with the goggles, and there are random colored dots all over the place.

The Madden forum = Awesome.

Gotta be B, I would have a lot more time to spend with my future kids and I feel like that's most important.
