    Drew Henson seems like Forrest Gump with the way he keeps popping up no matter who I try.

    If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

      Even ****ing Moonlight Graham who played a single game is only 8 degrees away from Garnett. Ridiculous how easy it is to get to him with a few crossover athletes like Danny Ainge and Mark Hendrickson.

        I got 6 from Eddie Gaedel to Brock Osweiler... Just plain crazy.

        Meanwhile, my record is 11: Charley Jones to Ricky Rubio.

            Deion Sanders and Danny Ainge are combining to make this very difficult.

              Anyone ever had pink eye ?

              If so.. does it hurt or anything ? I woke up two days ago and my right eye is red on just one side of my pupil. It looks a little rough, but I can't feel anything and I can still wear a contact lens without any irritation, watery eyes, etc.

              I fall asleep in my contact lenses a lot and I think It may have had something to do with that.

              Just wondering. Someone asked me about it today and I had not given pink eye any though. They never allowed kids to come to school with it when I was young, so I don't know what it looks like without googling pics.

              Anyways.. if anyone has some insight let me know.

                Do you have a roomate? He may have farted on your pillow if you do.

                It will probably just go away on it's own, it is contagious, but not serious, although what you described, it's probably not pink eye.

                  Had it when I was 7 or 8. Don't remember it hurting, but I think it was itchy. Also, a lot of sticky gunk so your eyes could basically get stuck shut.

                      Most of the pictures I found online look much worse than my eye. Weird thing is my left eye lid was a little swollen yesterday (opposite eye). I know that's a symptom of pink eye according to Web MD, but that eye looks perfectly normal. I'm probably just over thinking it. You can read all you want online, but I just wanted to get some more insight.. thanks.

                      I just wanted to play it safe and make sure my niece or nephew didn't get it.

                        Yea, and online really just doesn't give you a definitive answer, they are all over the place. Of course I'm not a doctor, but if your eye doesn't have a bunch of crud on it when you wake up and if it's not irritating or itchy. You probably just have a little dry eye, or something irritated it. Our eyes are the most sensitive part of us. No I'm not trying to be Burghfan or mb lol.

                        But it's really easy for an eye to get red, also do you have allergies?

                          Maybe a stye? Symptoms are similar to pink eye...

                              Plus, you have the size of player difference between academies and non-academies.
                              I'm honestly surprised they are as good as they are now. Being able to compete in FBS with being a military academy and having no draft seems pretty amazing if you think about it. The Coast Guard academy is division 3 and they are just plain terrible.
