“But I got him,” Wilkins said. “He only scored 39.” HAHAHA!

You put that way nicer than I would have.

Love this story. The part about the fight song got me. Not going to lie, that was tough for me to read. Music seems to make him happy, too. About a year and a half ago, a friend named Billy Barnes came over to the house to play guitar and sing a few songs. Barnes played old Baptist hymns and barbershop quartet tunes -- Daisy Daisy, give me your answer true. Music he knew Dean liked. But nothing seemed to get through. Dean was getting restless. Barnes asked if he could play one more song. After every basketball game, win or lose, the UNC band plays the alma mater and fight song. The Carolina people stand and sing. Barnes knew Dean had heard the song thousands of times. He started to play. Dean jumped to his feet. He waved at his wife, Linnea, to stand with him. He put his hand over his heart and sang from memory: Precious Memories -- The Dean Smith story

100% agree. It just seems like his swing has changed a little bit since that 37 HR year. His swing plane and process have changed, IMO. Maybe that is due to his knee.

The last thing I would do is to buy BGP from Guru so I could drop the hammer on a few posters.

I would rebuild in the exact location I'm currently in. I would set up a fund for my kids to get a ridiculous amount of money but they can only get it when they receive their college degree. I would probably just add some after market items to my vehicle and buy my wife a new vehicle, whatever she wants. She wouldn't want anything too ridiculous anyway. I would assist all family members in paying off their debt. I have a few other things I know I would do.

And would be fine with that. The only number I'm skeptical about is HR's. I know he could not have been 100% healthy last year but with, what seems, an even more willingness to go the other way I think his power numbers may suffer. I hope we see 20+ but wouldn't be surprised to see 15-20.

I usually enjoy the music awards shows the best because of the live performances. After watching a few of them I even lost interest in those.

I agree with you. I think he'll be good to go this year.

Easily the toughest Reds fan to get approval from.

Probably right. That doesn't mean we wouldn't all have fun trying.

I would like to give it a try and see if I could handle that much money.

There needs to be a 6 month probationary period. We can't just allow anyone to join. For God's sake, we let UKMF join without really thinking about it. We can't let that happen again.

Here's where I stand on the subject. I dislike all of Boston's sports teams more than any other sports teams at any level. So, when they do it they are cheaters and should be punished to the fullest extent. I think Belichek is an arrogant SOB that will do anything to win. I couldn't stand Tom Brady after I heard his interview after they won their second Super Bowl and he basically said, "This is it? This is the pinnacle? It doesn't feel that great." With that said, I respect the heck out of both of them. Just not a fan.

College kids were out partying, some were under age drinking, and a fight ensued? The future has no hope. Your high horse awaits you...

Reminded me of Randy Moss the way he could stretch the field.

Chevy definitely wants a Super Bowl Champion seen in their new truck. Unfortunately for Chevy, it's going to take quite a few modifications for the Super Bowl Champion to want to be seen in their truck. No knock, I like what Brady did. But most NFL guys, even those making league minimum, want a whip tighter than a base model Chevy Colorado.

Ya think! I was honestly hoping they signed Forrest Gregg. He's only 81.

I turned it off after Kanye's singing performance. That wasn't a reflection of how I feel about Kanye. It was just the time I changed it. I was thinking along the lines of Clyde. Worst Grammy's ever. Like 99% of actors, singers, celebrities, etc... I don't care to hear their personal feelings, political points of view or opinions on who should win and who shouldn't. Shut up and entertain me.

I was wondering how the "majority" could have survived. Horrible.

I see what they did there.

Kick them out of the playoffs too...oh...wait.

It's going to be a new saying soon. Someone ticks you off? "Man, I would love to send them on a plane to Asia."

As they should.

That has a 50 year expiration date. You have to come up with something else.
