Interesting. Another missile defense expert (Riki Ellison) used to be a darn good NFL linebacker.

Great... but...
...shouldn't people with that kind of clearance not advertise it?

Pretty amazing...

As an observer of many a Giants game, Riki Ellsion was one hard-hitting terror as an LB.

A rock star, a baby boomer, living in CA of all places!

And we are told the baby boomers are lazy, no nothing, cry babies.

I went to HS with him and took one of his hits in a pickup game. I switched to basketball.
He is a very smart guy.

You survived one of Ellison's hits and lived to tell the tale? (reminder enough to convince you BB was a better move, eh :-)

Yeah, he seemed to be a bright guy on the field as well.

I heard Mr. Baxter do a short interview on talk-radio in Los Angeles
a few years ago. Sure sounds like he's working hard as one of the good guys.
At least he's not just churning out a Christmas album (like Michael McDonald)!
