Fan in San Diego

I didn't recall him being waived, thanks.

Don't they charge the same for a soda as a drink just to eliminate that sort of thing ?

Cool ! Thanks for the link. I thought that looked like Fort Erie's clubhouse.

Not true. I believe you have the right to remain silent or have your attorney present when being questioned.

Wasn't Schouman just drafted last year ?

Was that filmed at Fort Erie ? It looked a lot like the clubhouse side of the track closest to the railroad tracks? Can anyone confirm that? I didn't see the end to catch the credits.

Awesome ! Thanks for the memories !

Sorry to hear that John. Brought back memories of a german shepard I had named Samson as well. We trained him with a professional trainer and was a pretty amazing dog. Unfortunately he got hit by a car. Man I loved that dog.

I'm glad I got a cell phone for myself and the family. Now we can stay in touch and I don't have to worry about funding my retirement !

I wonder what will happen on Father's Day ?

So the great and honorable Marshawn is starting to get a reputation here ? I'm not surprized at all. I hope Marshawn gets it together real soon. He may spoil a long and great career over really small things in the grand scheme of life.

Any bar I've been in charges the same for a pepsi or a mixed drink. I think the intent was to eliminate people sneaking booze into the bar.

I haven't seen so many stereo types thrown around and painting groups of people with the same broad brush in quite some time. Maybe not since the last KKK meeting I was accused of attending. Sheeesh this thread is really funnier than hell. I'll get back to my original sentiment, sure Marshawn can hide behind all of his legal rights and options and say nothing and skip by this. But by doing so, he loses my respect and looks like another ghetto punk. Well Marshawn, see ya later, don't let the door hit ya in the ass on the way out. I guess he can't clear the air because somebody will get the rap for the hit and run, I guess they are to much of cowards to stand up and be accountable for their actions. I guess I'm the bad guy here because I think it's wrong not to be accountable for your actions. Sorry, I guess my Dad raised me all wrong. Sheesh what a fool I am for being accountable for my actions. Sorry folks, but if your defending Marshawn's actions, your morally bankrupt.

I feel the same way about you as well.

See my explanation above. Saftey, security and peace of mind are the theme reason's for me.

You don't have teenage kids do you. You wouldn't ask that question if you did.

That is a bunch of crap.

For me the biggest reason is for saftey. If she needs a ride home, or an issue at school. What if a pervert is follwoing her or something, she can call 911. Roadside assistance if needed. That kind of stuff. Also, if I need to reach her I can at all times, or vice versa.

This thread has completely disintegrated into bashing each other by misconstruing the other person's intending meaning, misquoted, taken out of context, grammer and spelling police, etc. This thread has reminded me why I should give up and never post here, to many !@#$s who just want to argue and not enough who actually want to discuss without name calling. This used to be a fun place to be. I think Bob Lamb has gotten it right when he stopped posting here. I may follow suit.

Yes, this is a great thread. The best in a long time. I cut my teeth at Fort Erie. You know Fort Erie still has one of the best infields around. Gorgeous with three lakes and lots of landscaping. Woodbine of course. Here in SoCal I follow Santa Anita, Hollywood and Del Mar. Del Mar's season is way to short, but really big purses. Are you ever going to ship horses to the SoCall circuit? If so, let me know we can get together.

Which tracks do you race at ?

Keep the context of my comment. The scenerio posed was what if it was your mother driving the car ? Then you have a real moral dilema. Throw your Mom under the bus ? Under that scenero , getting a buddy to take the heat looks more attractive. But lets fous on Marshawn. Are you OK with him being silent on hitting someone and leaving the scene with no reagrd for that person ? what if it was your daughter or sister that was run over ? Would you be so flippant about it ? Probably not.

By not saying anything, this really never gets closure. To make it go away you have to put a bow on it and finish it off.

No , but you are being very nieve if you don't think there is a court of public opinion. If public opinion turns sour on you, your career in Buffalo can be very short. Ask Willis about that ? I though Willis got a bad deal on that Toronto comment.
