Actually just got that vaccine. Changed my health insurance provider and, as a result, health care provider network, upon retiring last fall and the new doc recommended it.

Just watched the clip of the 05 Texas game that 11w posted. Youboty really should've picked that ball ball off in the end zone before they kicked a FG

Finally gave in couple years back with those.. but gotta admit, I am vaccine phobic now.. buried in my head I had buddies who did all the Covids (I did two) and major issues.. three with strokes.. whether factual or not, my perception and correlation to the vax#2 and beyond is buried in my brain..

Bruce this past season had probably the most efficient & well-rounded offensive performance of any Buckeye in history. If you look at his overall efficiency, producing at all levels & avoidance of negative plays, his performance was unparalleled. Based on career offensive win shares, Bruce is the best player at OSU since at least 1996.

Ditto

I do believe a team will look at Bruce as a bench guard to help their second unit and draft him in the second round. He's too good to let him go undrafted. His ability to get into the paint and convert as a 6'2" guard was the stuff of legends.

I've never taken an MLB swing in my life. Or a MiLB swing, or an NCAA swing, or a high school swing. I stopped playing after Little League.

Do you think I could hit a HR off a Reds pitcher in my first:
A. 25 games
B. 15 games
C. 5 games
D. Game
E. At bat

and overbearing parents

I sure do but they were the best bullpen in the league in April. Not sure why coming in an inning earlier worked for these mental midgets but this is God awful.

Remembering Bill Davidge​

The longtime Blue Jackets broadcaster and pillar in the Ohio hockey community passed away Wednesday at age 72



For Bill Davidge, it was always about the people.

He loved the game of hockey, and may have loved golf just as much, but he loved the people the most.

His time as a player and coach was marked by the relationships he built with his teammates and players. His memorable stint as a Blue Jackets broadcaster and ambassador made every trip to the rink or a charity event into a reunion. Every tee time was a chance to catch up with an old friend or meet a new one.

Davidge, a fixture in the CBJ community for the organization’s first two decades who could best be described as simply “Mr. Blue Jacket,” passed away Wednesday at age 72.

Re:

Kyle Busch called for medical attention at Watkins Glen International on May 10, just weeks before his death at 41 on Thursday, May 21. Fox NASCAR announcers noted that he had a "sinus cold," and Busch later told reporters he had a "substantial" cough

According to multiple people familiar with the situation, Busch reportedly became unresponsive Wednesday while testing in a Chevrolet racing simulator in Concord, North Carolina before being transported to a Charlotte-area hospital. Less than 24 hours later, NASCAR confirmed the two-time Cup Series champion had died at 41 years old.

Just sayin': (what the hell they were doing in the days leading up to his death?) Apparently he kept racing. A week earlier he had pneumonia (or a sinus infection/coughing that quickly developed into pneumonia). A doctor on a news channel (who admitted that he never examined Busch) speculated that the G forces of racing and the simulator could have forced the infection (i.e. pneumonia) deeper into his lungs resulting in a rapid escalation of the illness.

So I reiterate - what the hell were they doing? You're not anywhere near normal when you have this severe of a case of pneumonia. Been there and got the tshirt.

Maybe he refused treatment - but his family hopefully at least tried to slow him down and get him seen/treated. And if a doctor did examine him and allowed him to leave with minimal treatment we might see a lawsuit sooner or later.

Just sayin - what's publicly out there doesn't jive with my own experiences. Someone fucked up - either Kyle, or his family or any doctors he may have seen....

Packers' Josh Jacobs says former WR Henry Ruggs III trains while in prison, hopeful for second chance in NFL

Packers' Josh Jacobs says former WR Henry Ruggs III trains while in prison, hopeful for second chance in NFL​

Ruggs is first eligible for parole on Aug. 5, 2026​

Green Bay Packers Pro Bowl running back Josh Jacobs said he stays in touch with former Las Vegas Raiders and Alabama Crimson Tide teammate Henry Ruggs III, and he revealed that Ruggs is still training and holding out hope of an NFL return.

"I still talk to Henry. Henry still calls me. I still help him out. ... We're still connected. I know his whole family. He's from Alabama. He played with me at Bama. His momma and them taught me how to bowl. ... Keeping up with him and hearing him talk, it brings me spirits, because he's always positive," Jacobs said on "The Pivot Podcast."

"He's positive about everything. He's training. They let him train and things like that, so I'm like, 'When you come out, man, I don't know if you will get a chance.' I've been talking to some people for him. They've been saying a couple of teams are willing to give him a chance. I'm like, 'When you get that chance, man, you better not ever, don't look back, and prove to yourself and prove to everybody that one decision don't define you and who you are as a man.'"

Ruggs, the 12th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, was speeding early in the morning of Nov. 2, 2021 with alcohol in his system. Ruggs' Corvette hit a 23-year-old woman, Tina Tintor, who died in the wreck. Ruggs, now 26 years old, pled guilty to one count of driving under the influence resulting in death, a felony, and another count of vehicular manslaughter, a a misdemeanor.

Henry Ruggs III begins parole process, seeks early release from prison after vehicular manslaughter conviction​

While speaking with the Nevada Board of Parole on Monday, Ruggs expressed contrition over his actions related to a Nov. 2021 collision that left a 23-year-old woman dead.

“Not a minute goes by where I don’t think of the pain I caused her family, her friends and the Las Vegas community,” Ruggs told the parole board, per AL.com's Mark Inabinett. “I’m a religious person and pray for her family daily."

On the morning of Nov. 4, 2021, Ruggs' Corvette collided with Tintor's car. At the time of the collision, Ruggs' vehicle was traveling 127 miles per hour. Tintor and her dog were killed in the wreck.

Ruggs was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and/or controlled or prohibited substance resulting in death, driving under the influence of alcohol and/or controlled or prohibited substance resulting in death or substantial bodily harm, two counts of reckless driving resulting in death or substantial bodily harm and possession of a gun under the influence of alcohol or drugs. His blood-alcohol concentration was measured to be .161, two times the legal limit in the state of Nevada.

Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said Ruggs could face more than 50 years in prison if convicted of all the charges. At the trial, Wolfson's office accepted a plea deal with Ruggs, citing concerns over the potential suppression of the results of Ruggs' blood test.

Ruggs was sentenced to from three to 10 years in prison for his role in the accident. On Monday, he appealed to the Nevada Board of Parole to grant him "the privilege of parole so I can prove myself to everyone."

“I take full responsibility for my actions that led to Ms. Tintor’s death and her dog Max,” Ruggs said, per Las Vegas Review Journal.

Commissioners did not announce a decision on whether they would grant or deny parole for Ruggs during the hearing. They said they'll come to a decision in the next few weeks.

You should have stopped typing there.

What does this have to do with Va Tech and Franklin? Well, not much. Just remembering the 50s, when the school still went by VPI. I'm watching a college football scores round-up, and the screen shows something like "Citadel 14 - VPI 21."
I ask the ol' man, "What does VPI stand for?"
And being a wiseass, he says."Vice Presidents Institute."
And I ask, "What do they study to be?"
"Vice Presidents."
"Oh."

It seems like everyone who has retired, or is looking to retire, is of the mindset, “When can I stop trading my time for money?” Based on that strict definition, I retired in my teens. I have never understood this mentality. Baffling to me. Also, invest in yourself or your own entity, not someone else or their entity. Will change your life.
