I came in third. Of four. We were all pretty close so I'm good. I can't believe Saltine is a word. That's what lost me the game.

[mainepatsfan]

So a cracker did you in!

[Asphalt]

I think it shouldn't be in there. Words like "Jeep" are fine because it no longer applys to only cars made by the Jeep company, but there is only one Saltine.

[Fester Chugabrew]

I've officiated five years at the youth level, and two years of high school ball.

Way to go.

Say. You're last name wouldn't be "Greer" would it?

[mainepatsfan]

It does seem to be more of a name rather than a word.

[Asphalt]

I'd love to do that some day. I love football, but don't have the ability to have any kind of career in coaching, playing, training, etc. Now officiating I think is a real possibility. Have you ever read, I think it's called "The meat grinder" or "In the meat grinder" or something like that. It's a real interesting book about a washed up college player who became a ref. Chad somebody. You should see if you can find it.

[Asphalt]

Well, obviously not. NOthing I can do except start a petition to Websters/Scrabble.

[mainepatsfan]

You need to start a petition. This is a bigger outrage than the Dems filibustering judges!!

[Asphalt]

Certainly. Will you sign?

[MikefromOhio]

never is....and generally unless I am talking about Nukes, I won't say it either :)

[MikefromOhio]

yes it has...which is why the buzz around Patrick was more advertisement than anything else. Had she crashed or fallen off of the pace really badly, that would have been a disaster for the organizers

[MikefromOhio]

do you know what the average speed is in a NASCAR race?

That is totally dependant on the track I believe....

[mainepatsfan]

We need to also organize a march on Washington.

[mainepatsfan]

I agree.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

"With few exceptions", huh? For every Rae Carruth, Ray Lewis, or Jamal Lewis, I could name a few who don't get involved with that kind of stuff and donate their time/money to charities. The bad apples get all the attention because that's what the media wants.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

"I'd like to thank (put sponsor here). Without (sponsor), I couldn't have won this race. Did I mention (secondary sponsor)? (Sponsor), the fuel behind (car owner) motorsports."

And I consider myself a NASCAR fan...

[BigBadWolf]

I said it before and I'll say it again...Cards take the West.

[Spruce]

[Ultra Sonic]

Mind adding me to your NFL ping list?

[over3Owithabrain]

I want on the NFL ping list too!

Sing with me - I got the Sunday Ticket...
