  1. God bless you PJP II....
  2. Thanks Tiger. There is some history of ADHD in my wife's family. The kid is pretty amazing though...he can step up to a computer -- and get himself to his two favorite websites -- thewiggles.com and nickjr.com with no help and concentrate and play for hours..its just curious--his mind goes 24/7...we are watching the ADHD stuff..and we are with him constantly -- you can't take your eye off him for a second. He is #3 of 4 (4th one just born on Feb 24) the older two are girls and pieces of cake by comparison as well. Thanks--reading this made me feel better.
  3. I did ask the nurse tonight if we were going to get a call from Social Services....she said (I think it was a she--she was more of a Pat from Saturday Night Live and had some facial hair)--"No--but have you ever seen the boy in the bubble movie--you sir, need a bubble for this child.."
  4. Just had to make emergency room trip #2 in two weeks with my "almost" three year old son. This time it was a gash to the head caused by running into a door while chasing his 6 year old sister. Two weeks ago it was a dive off a pile of couch cushions into the edge of a coffee table lip first. This is trip #5 overall for this young guy...pulled an end table over on his head at 9 months. Fell out of a swing at 18 months..drank a bottle of aftershave at 24 months... What is God trying to tell me?
  5. Interesting aspect from bb.com--Bennie in the community...this is one of the longer community involvement bios I have seen...Bennie actually has a bachelor's in education.. Attended Cleveland Junior Naval Academy in St. Louis, where he was All-District...Earned the leadership award by the "Tree Coaches" (TSU alumni coaches who sit under a tree watching practice) as a junior and senior...Was named honorary chairman for the west side Christian Academy for their annual fundraising golf tournament...Was a speaker at the Black College All-American Awards Banquet in Atlanta (2/02)...Took part in the Braille Rally in his hometown during the 2002 summer, helping to raise money for the Missouri School for the Blind...With the support of Operation Blessing and gospel radio station Heaven 600, Anderson provided over 100 Cherry Hill families with food and books during December 2002 and 2003 and Park Heights in spring of 2004...Anderson and Movements Unlimited Performing Arts Company Inc. joined to host the fifth annual movements unlimited Kwanzaa...Bennie, who has a degree in education, took part for the second straight year in Teach for America Day, as a guest math teacher and instructed students at Pimlico Middle School...He and his wife, Salena, have one son, Bennie, Jr. (9/9/01)...Full name: Bennie Tyron Lamar Anderson.
  6. A man who can take complex theologicial and philosophical concepts and boil them down to simple acts the faithful could exercise in daily life. His writings and encyclicals are some of the most brilliant in the history of the Papacy. I tend to be a pretty left leaning Catholic on issues like marriage and the priesthood, female priests, living wills, contraception, etc. This is a staunchly conservative man who still embraces tolerance and change. He reached out to the Jewish and Protestant faiths after centuries of non-recognition...he talked about and influenced several faiths to embrace the Blessed Mother...amazing stuff. God bless you PJPII....
  7. Being chased by an armed jealous husband....
  8. Audio and Video of the press conference are both up on bb.com. Watch the video....that is one BIG man.... Best quote..."The offseason has been too long already, I'll be here Monday ready to go to work." Bennie and the Bills
  9. If they room together at Camp--I certainly hope its on a ground floor of the dorm....otherwise--call the structural engineers at Fisher...
  10. Hey, hey--no kitty porn on this site....what do you think this is, the Boy Scouts or something...... Signed, Moral Conscience Police
  11. full interview now up on bb.com bb.com
  12. Damn I wasn't fast enough...Piz wins the draw...
  13. For an exclusive interview according to bb.com Here is a link to SIRIUS -- you can get a free three day trial. SIRIUS NFL
  14. Thanks Beer--I will do that.
  15. Fogo de Chão--Brazilian churrascaria steakhouse. They will keep bringing you various cuts of meat until you tell them to stop. I had dinner there during my last trip (I go to Richardson/Telecom corridor about once every 8 weeks or so)--this is no lie...in fact even after you turn over your stop card--they still come over.... It was absolutely wonderful food. The veggies and other sides are great to...not that you'll have room for them after 5 lbs of beef..
  16. Nick Saban should be the Bishop of the Boston Diocese.....if they would have worked this quickly--things might be better for us Catholics now...
  17. Let him know how dissatisfied we all are...he couldn't spot talent if we spotted him the "tlent"
  18. Prayers for his family... Okay now that I have done the obligatory condolence....its really hard to live without the part of your brain often referred to as a moral conscience. 67 years is quite an accomplishment. Rumor has it that JC was the character study for Jim Carrey in Liar Liar...the "prior to devine intervention" portion of the movie... Maybe he can guide OJ to the real killers from the after-life....
  19. After adding a couple of interior lineman, the Browns today cut Kelvin Garmon who was their big OL signing in offseason '04...he strained his ACL and MCL mid way through last year but his rehab should be far enough along now to judge him. Don't know if he is a better option than Bennie Anderson -- but he has been a 4 year starter with Cowboys, Chargers and Browns. Anyone have any insights? Was he the guy that Michael Irvin slashed with barber scissors??? 2004 Scouting Report - Football Scouts Inc. Name: Kelvin Garmon, 6' - 2" 350lbs Position: Offensive Guard Grade: 69 | Key Alert: None Stats: Garmon Comment: Garmon is a short, compact player with adequate athletic ability. Has above average strength at the point of attack and will win most one-on-one match-ups if he reaches his block. Has some mauling qualities and is able to use his size, strength and leverage to drive his blocks when he's in position. Does a decent job of pulling and will generally reach the second level. Has a wide frame and has the long arms to force defenders to take a wider angle to the quarterback. He has the change of direction skills to redirect and hit the moving target but he appears confused in space and he gets himself in a lot of trouble by making mental mistakes. Loses focus too often and will give up big plays or make critical errors because of a blown assignment or because he is too tentative. Overall, Garmon still has lapses in concentration, but has improved in this area as he has gained experience.
  20. I did CBB...Thanks for your thoughts...
  21. Mark, I think we are moving up to draft Gus the Mule. If we are going to draft a kicker in the second, he better be able to split the uprights from 80... The only Nugent I want to hear on the first day of the draft... "I got me a rock and roll band, it's a free for all........"
  22. I may eat crow sometime in the future...but I am not upset at all that this guy has "full control" in Miami. I think he is a Rick Pitino or John Calapari--great assistant in the pros, great head coach in college, mediocre head coach in the pros. Nothing but an intuition and our friends in Baton Rouge on the board may disagree, but I am not impressed..... On the other side...I am really pleased to have Mike Mularkey and our staff
  23. Found this little tidbit linked on Billszone. Don Bank's column from the NFL owners meeting in Hawaii... Linky Feeley, Fiedler, what's the difference? New Dolphins head coach Nick Saban is a no-nonsense, all-business kind of guy, but he did provide our favorite moment of the week at the NFL's annual meeting with a rather telling slip of the tongue. Asked if he was committed to A.J. Feeley as his starting quarterback in light of signing veteran backup Gus Frerotte, Saban launched into a less than impassioned defense of Feeley. "Well, we don't really have a depth chart right now," Saban said. "We've never coached these guys. We've never been on the field. Everybody wants to know who the starting this is and the starting that is. I mean, basically we're going to give Jay Fielder every opportunity to be our quarterback. That's all I ever said about that. And we want to work very hard to develop him." Which is going to be difficult, given that Fiedler, the Dolphins starter for most of the past five seasons, signed as a backup with the Jets earlier this month.
