Ever consider that aerial stuff is really not for someone of any age. It
all just shows up later in life.

Look at all the young age mogul fiends getting new hips later in life.


My knees began to give me problems in college after the better part of 10
years as a catcher. I still suffer some issues with them. Your point is
well taken.

When I coached youth baseball, which I did for about 10 years the
hardest position to fill was catcher. Seems like those that could
didn't want to and those that wanted to suffered from bat swing blink.
One of my sons caught for a number of those seasons, however
reluctantly. He was always beat up.

So you won't come to the US during a month of Sundays, which never occurs.

He didn't say 'during' a month of Sundays, he said 'in' a month of Sundays,
which occurs every 30 or 31 weeks.

On a serious note, Avery Brundage fought for decades to keep
professionalism out of the Olympics. Ultimately he was overruled, and
it's damaged the games beyond repair, IMO. Only the relatively non-pro
sports, such as Biathlon, Luge, Skeleton, Bobsled, Curling, etc. hold my
interest any longer. I couldn't care less about snowboard, freestyle
skiing, alpine, men's hockey, and the other pro-based events. Many of
us remember the "miracle on ice" at the Lake Placid 1980 Games, when the
US amateur hockey team beat the highly-pro Russians and went on to win
the gold. That event will never be repeated under the current paradigm.

Max


Great points. I wish it was purely amateur as well. It really said a lot
when US amateurs, without government funding, took on virtual
professional state run teams of other countries. I also think team sports
should be eliminated.

Amen!


It was tragic when the IOC stooped to the lowest common denominator on the
pro issue. Instead of fighting to keep the games truly amateur, they
caved and let everyone get paid for doing what they do. Now we have
millionaires playing basketball, hockey, skiing, skating, etc. And NBC
would have us believe that these poor, downtrodden athletes have
sacrificed everything to get to the Olympics. Hogwash. If the
governments of the world follow the lead of the IOC, it won't be long when
all drugs are legalized because it's easier to acquiesce to the elements
in the toilet than fight for what is right.

Max


Legalizing all drugs is self regulating. Remember the lab monkeys giving
themselves overdoses?

Amen!

No way do I want to be a . . . . (gulp) cannuck.

Gosh, Mooron you sound like the paranoid one. Homeland Security is the 21st
Century version of the Keystone Cops. Look at all the weight lifting
equipment and entertainment centers it paid for in all the fire and police
departments across the country.

So come on down! Americans are friendly!

You ain't nobody if you're not on a list!

So big, bad Mooron is afraid to visit America? Come on, you must be kidding!

Even Capt Rob isn't afraid of NY! And you are????

So Robbie has more guts than you?? Is that what I'm hearing?????

Say it ain't so!


Amen!
