    Now what to we pay Boldin?

    With the first domino falling #2 and #3 can't be too far behind. And as excited as all of us are to see what "D squared" can bring to the defense, Holian and I were talking about the years to come.... specifically the contract with Boldin. To lock Fitz in on a 6 year deal and fail to extend...

    Josh McCown=Brett Favre

    Hopefully McCown pans out so that clip makes it onto a highlight reel That is still one of the best all time plays in NFL history..... McCown takes the snap, rolls out, under pressure, he turns and fires - backwords - off of the face of LJ Shelton. Wow. That was cool. If only I had...

    Dumb things

    Het Skkorp go ask Chief what time the 0900 meeting starts Use that one all of the time..... Also when we are testing engines off the fantail (blasting the jets off the back of the carrier) we usually tell the young guys that the skipper just asked for an extra 5 knots and that they need to...

    Tillman promoted posthumously

    The same is true in all "spec ops" units. At Panama City (we had Rangers and USAF combat controllers there along with our own UCT/UDT types) there were only 2 officer classes (30 or so students) per year where there were 15 or so enlisted classes. You only need so many "supervisors" calling...

    My favorite memories of Pat Tillman

    Here's one of the photos Jim (and all), I'm never on this page any more..... "Too busy". Anyhow, way back when I posted a message about the wonderful gift my brother got my bride-to-be and I in December 1998. I was just graduating college and was about to head off to pilot training in...

    Thomas Jones Speaks About Trade

    Are you serious? We don't have to go to work if we don't like how things are going in the office? Good luck trying to explain that one without finding youself on the curb by the end of the day. These guys are a bunch of whining, over-paid babies.

    Simeon Rice on the cover of Sporting News

    What a crock. They've got a write-up on his unbelievable work ethic and dedication.... and say something about him always being the last guy to leave the practice facility. It reminded me of some of the Jerry Rice off-season reports I've read over the years. Has Simeon turned a new leaf? I...

    What Are The Best and Worst Football Stadiums That You Have Ever Visited

    I'll refute the gripe against soldier field - there wasn't a bad seat in the house. Indianapolis could suck if you get too high, ditto on the RCA dome, but the absolute worst was the old Cleveland Browns rust bucket. I once saw us get creamed under Buddy Ryan (with the "punky QB" known as...

    Pittman's wife calls him a 'caring father'

    What an idiot. If he can ram his own family what's to stop him from hurting others. I don't care how big his "guns" are if he went after my family or friends I'd do everything in my power to put this moron behind bars. I definitely wouldn't make excuses for him. A rational human being does...

    Live from Baghad

    Hey brother.... Wish I was there. Am on shore rotation fixing ships up in Norflok, VA so I missed everything (but got to do the "support role" with CNN blaring in the background). Keep your head low and come home safely. As a newly commissioned "JO" my wife and I had our picture taken with...

    Tickets to the Walk-up Dome scrimmage

    I change user names with my promotions. There used to be quite a few postings by "Ensign" but relatively few as "LTJG" after 9-11.:D

    Tickets to the Walk-up Dome scrimmage

    In planning the summer vacation my brother and I were trying to figure-out if advanced tickets were available for the Saturday scrimmage in Flagstaff. With all of the new found Emmit.... I mean, Cardinals fans, out there I would just assume have the tickets in hand vice having to wait in line...

    A training camp treasure-The 5:30 a.m. jog to the field of dreams.

    This year my wife and I are staying with her uncle (about 2.2 miles from the "field"). Is it worth driving there only to follow my brother back to his hotel for breakfast? I think not. We'll take deep breaths and long strides to make the early am rendesvous on the field. And don't listen...

    Kiper's final top 40 the day before the draft-Johnson (#21) and Pace (#38)

    I was talking to a cynical, burned-out, on again-off again NFL fan the other day and he asked me why I even cared about the NFL draft. His notion was that most of the highly touted players end up falling on their faces. We Cardinal fans know all about that! But, going along with what Holian...

    Training Camp You Gotta Love It!

    TC! TC! TC! I can't wait. Going back to the St Louis days, my brother (Holian) and I would stay with our grandmother in Mattoon, Illinois and drive down the road to Charleston to watch camp. When the team moved to Arizona we were both lacking the means to get to out west for a couple of...
