Naples — you gonna come to the Fest? No real rush on a final say but gonna be ordering the food for Dave & Busters real soon.
Thinking Justin Bieber has musical talent (or Pit Bull,if you prefer) proves that there is other life than the one we know how to define.
My uncle thinks no rock musician has talent.
He is correct, insofar as he defines musical talent.
He just needs to get a life.
(He has two doctorates, but still thinks Mozart makes music but not McCartney.)
Bingo.
… If you guys expand the definition of life to include whatever the hell we find out there,
is that really life or is it just Rap, and not really mjusic at all, just us being all PC and saying yeah don’t be so lifist, man let ’em live. Accept that rock that rusts and amalgmates with that other rock that phosphoresces as just a same geo marriage and quit being so narrow-minded. Those rocks have feelings too you know.
Your Uncle is a snob. LOL
A guy I worked with told me one time he has a friend that believes the only real music that exists came from Peter Gabriel. LMAO!!!! Yeah okay! LMAO!!!! This is the theory of crazy arrogant humans. LOL
My uncle is definitely a snob about music.
He is a Methodist though, so he is not an interpersonal snob.
Which is weird.
He has a PhD from Yale in
accepting everyone into the communion of worshipers.
Again, that is an example of what you guys are telling me.
I am a snob about what life is, so i can’t see the possiblilities.
In my mind, I am like Uncle Paul.
Not a snob, but just a guy with really high standards
about what music is (in his mind)
or what life is (in my mind).
I don’t want to think of some cute little bacteria on some other planet as life.
I wanna see some DEs we can get in a Dophins uni. That’s LIFE to me.
So, if I understand you, your definition requires a philosophical as a physical definition of what constitutes life?
Stanger Sir.
I am currently having some challenges to work through.
I waffle between not possible and slightly possible on attending the Fest right now.
I thoroughly enjoyed it last time and deeply respect your work in organizing it.
D & B’s was the high point (because the Lions game sucked so bad).
So i totally want to be there. Just can’t see it happening given my circumstances.
All you can do is tell it like it is, and thanks for that. You and your wife awesome though. Hope you can make. And won’t tell Chef Warren you said D & Bs was better than the tailgate. 🙂
noooo … not the food … was just talking about the high form the camaraderie was destroyed by watching Gase and Burke crumble against the Patriot Way 2.0 starring Matt Stafford as Tommy Boy.
I figure the tailgate is an event in of itself, but get what you mean about that game. And over the years no doubt about the difference btwn a win and a loss when we meet back up after.
Kong, I just watched a show on Jupiter on SCIgo and it was really interesting. Jupiter wanders off it’s orbit of the sun all the time. The astrophysicist commentators said if Jupiter decides to go too far off course bad news for us.
In the big scheme of things, not only do we all know someday we will all die, so will the sun and the earth.
Jupiter is a fun study. All sorts of tidbits and cool facts.
There’s most probably alien life in our solar system, Eupopa
And suspicion is there was life on Mars, if not now then before.
Definite possibility for microbial life (at least) beneath the surface. If we find life on Europa, two sources of life in one solar system, to me that would mean the universe is likely teeming with life. And frankly that makes more sense to me, than a dead lifeless universe.
Peter Gabriel, I actually liked some of his songs. LOL That and his weird ass MTV videos.
SLEDGE HAMMER!
Who created classical music? Where did the in-depth theory of music begin? Was it God, Aliens or symmetry & chaos? Oh my!!! 😉
In 2040 Justin Bieber will travel back in time and create the first music known to man. He will then travel 100 years forward, and start codifying anything deemed ‘musical’ throughout the human race, labeling and identifying all, thereby becoming the progenitor and founder of all music forms and concepts. lol
Sorry, I’ve been watching the Netflix series Dark. It’s so good.
LOL
I always thought David Bowie was an alien.
He was, he sang about it all the time but everyone just thought it was an act. 😉
Yep
Freddy Mercury, too.
Who tries to use “I’m from Zanzibar.”
as a cover? Sounds like something the coneheads would try.
Or some of those aliens in Men In Black.
I never knew David’s last name?
Jones
LMAO!
Space x just launched a satellite called a solar sail, it’s power source light. could reach light speed
https://usa.inquirer.net/33419/spacexs-solar-sail-and-what-this-means-for-space-travel
Fascinating. Didn’t see the speed of light in the article at least, but something new too me. Even if had heard of the possibility of a solar sails had no idea close to testing phase.
I’m more for Warp Drive, if you could bend space higher behind you and lower in front of you and ride it like a wave you could probably go very fast, maybe faster than light.
I’m more of a believer in the idea of an Einstein–Rosen bridge. Or failing that, some form of hyperspace of which we’re currently unaware of.
wormhole
Yes What a great image, surfing through interstellar space.
It is wild that scientists see the light from quasars that happened billions of years ago just now. That alone tells you how vast the universe is. Space and time. Earth is a tiny grain of sand. Not even.
Who created classical music?
It all started with the fart. In the days before instruments were invented, ancient man was impressed the musical notes that could be produced by ones sphincter. Ancient man was impressed by the different notes and pitches produced based on amount of pressure, tightness of sphincter or even the impact of an inflamed hemorrhoid. It was only until man couldn’t fart on command that he started to invent instruments to mimic the farts. When ancient man invented instruments he learned he can actually put many different notes together vs. only several notes when farting. Then, classical music was soon born. Ancient man used their musical sphincters to impress their women so much that it became encoded in our DNA. This is why, even today, we all like to fart in front of our wives. It’s true, look it up. 😉
History of the world!
Light is so elegant.
The solution to all of our problems.
Right there all the time.
All we have to do is accept it.
A Free and inexhaustible energy source.
An inspirational art form, an analogy for God the Father, and perfectly matched to us.
We are the children of light.
As long as it’s here, we can party non-stop.
When it’s gone, we’re gone in the same moment.
Of course, man’s genius enables us to ruin everything.
Even free power, infinite life, and the energy to make margaritas.
And yet we invent pain, suffering, hatred, and sin.
Time to create my own little slice of symmetry in life and start the coals for my ribs. Yummm.
Fun convo guys! May check back in later once i get the ribs and beans on the grill.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. X reminds me of Revis when he started to reach his prime. Not the biggest or fastest corner, but understands the art of the position and how to obstruct a receiver’s route and positioning lowering the chance of a completion. And if the QB or receiver makes a mistake, the ball ends up in his hands. He has that knack.
Ah the human ego at it’s finest!
WE can’t prove anything one way or the other, but by god I’m right! 😉
(pun intended)
Man is frail, and full of doubt- the idea that this is all there is scares the shit out of him.
I don’t claim to be an expert on any of this universe/life topic. I just keep an open mind because we’re not as significant as we think we are. 😉
BBM
ALL THIS PROVES is that Al Michaels (the guy on the right) had REAL HAIR once upon a time!
Not that we need a Safety?
If we need a safety so does every other team.

actually from Alpha Centauri Proxima B
“Only one planet has been confirmed for the Alpha Centauri system: Proxima Centauri b. It is slightly larger than the Earth, and orbits around Proxima Centauri in its habitable zone. The existence of Proxima Centauri b was announced in 2016 by the European Southern Observatory. It was found using the radial velocity method, where periodic Doppler shifts of spectral lines of the host star suggest an orbiting object.[81]”
from Wikipedia
The brown dwarf emits solar radiation and blast the planet, these brown dwarfs burst more radiation than our sun, a lot more, Proxima Centauri b is uninhabitable.
what really blows the mind is time space. if you are on top of a tall building, your time goes faster than a person on the ground, the closer you are to earth the slower time goes, the satellites that map the earth for your GPS have to be corrected because their atomic clock runs faster than your GPS’s clock on the ground. if you were to cruise around a black hole, its immense gravity would slow your clock way down, if it took you a week to go around it when you got back to earth you may be 100 years in the future.
If you flew @ 1000mph due west from Naples, would you never age?
If you flew east, would you get younger?
ORob
You mean AC Prox B is uninhabitable by HUMAN life … as we know it.
However, David Bowie and Freddy Mercury were not human as I know it.
(Neither is Shaquille O’Neill, but that is a different galaxy we’re talking about there.)
ORob is way deeper than running between the tackles. 😉
If Flores and co are the real deal they’ll start Minkah at FS, and either trade Jones or move him or TJ to LB.
It’s really hot this summer, everyone in the south should brace for a bad hurricane season!
No hurricanes! They play hell with my workforce.
Probably going to take a 3rd to get Thompson in the supplemental. Lot of teams need Safety.
Back on a plane, heading to Punta Gorda and the Keys.
You guys were way out there yesterday. Space travel is easy…just have to learn to fold the space-time continuum.
Have a cousin that’s pretty sure we are all just some ant farm sitting on a dresser in a kids bedroom of a giant cosmic universe, you know the “real” universe
Problem is we are still far from not knowing what we don’t know
14/15 billion years is a mere nano second of time in the big picture
if we were to travel around a black hole and come out 100 years in the future it would be very sad after all that time we still didn’t make the playoffs!
Why do I have to read about this in the Australian news???????
Bc you aren’t paying attention
Jake tapper tweeted about this yesterday
Go read his timeline
I’ve read a lot of tweet’s!
I was looking for actual news reports!
For some reason not everyone tells the truth on twitter???? 😉
Or perhaps anywhere anymore???????
How many assaults do you think happen at protests WY?
In this case is was a proud boy March that antifa was protesting
That’s a lot of assholes in one place
That’s not exactly newsworthy
There are a lot of things that go uncovered by the media that should be covered
But this isn’t one of them imo
This is just sensationalism
I saw it on MSN yesterday. Was Fox the only outlet that didn’t cover it? 😉
Nope. Fox covered it.
Well, there ya go Wyo. Both ‘sides’ covered it. Whew, thank alien we avoided that one.
Piggy so if it’s 2 groups of assholes it’s ok to assault someone?
If it was just 1 group maybe nobody get’s assaulted?
Or maybe it’s just a sign of the times?????
Sensationalism???????/
Ya because I’m known to go overboard and rant????
The only thing I’ll say is you should be very careful when you go around trying to bring out the basic instincts (like fear and self preservation) of a human.
It seems to bring out some old habits that society doesn’t like to talk about!
It was a particularly chicken shit attack. Little fuck ran out of the crowd, sucker punched the dude then kept running. Then the crowd joined in. Pussies…they should all be shot on the spot.
Pure human garbage. I’d happily take Antifa and launch them all into the sun.
Yep

Trying to do like Lebron did with the Heat. We’ll see how it works out. And answer won’t come next year.
Am I reading this correctly?
We get TEN practices before the first pre-season game?
That’s not much of a training camp.
Ten open to the public.
First game is home against Atlanta. That is going to be so important.
I’d like to see Rosen play a lot, certainly enough to figure stuff out about him.
And for him to get real-time reps.
For us this year, playing Rudock in pre-season is truly meaningless
unless the coaches have already decided stuff and
are just protecting their QB1 and QB2 from injury.
Or, they have decided to see if they can cut Fitz and go with Rosen and Rudock for the season.
So many questions at QB this year.
I was very up in the air with Durant. I’m not sure what type of player he’ll be after the achilles injury. I would have been OK with him and I’m definitely OK without him. I didn’t want Kyrie Irving. I could see the Nets having buyers remorse if those 2 guys can’t stay healthy. Irving is out pretty often, and now you have a 32YO player coming back from an achilles injury in a sport where you never stop, and explosion is key. I’d be super thrilled if we could somehow snare Kawhi Leonard. I don’t want them to just sign anyone, so if they can’t get Kawhi, I’d prefer they stay patient and keep building through the draft until there are free agents worth signing next year, possibly Anthony Davis.
It’s not a real sport anyway.
It hasn’t been for Knicks fans for far too long . . .
I agree Mike, it isnt a given KD comes back as he was. I wouldn’t sign him to a max deal.
Knicks sign Julius Randle. I hope they have good defender behind him.
Actually they do in Robinson. The starting lineup of RJ, Randle, Knox, Robinson and Smith jr is pretty good. It’s not title worthy, but young and exciting.
Boring. Bored.
Looks like Jimmy Butler is going to Miami.
the knicks had visions of Zion…Durant and Irving and somehow that all fell thru.
it’s hard to believe that Durant chose brooklyn over golden state, he lives close to their brand new arena and could make 60 million more by staying. he doesn’t have to move, he makes more money and is familiar with the staff.
Maybe GS didn’t want to pay him
it’s funny how time flies by, the football season is over in the blink of an eye however from mid june till august seem like eternity!
NJ didn’t pay Durant the max
Sha-lyn not NJ
I don’t know why I always forget they moved to brooklyn
I see the arena all the time
“players may report to a team’s training camp no earlier than 15 days prior to the team’s first scheduled preseason game” NFL Rulebook.
First game is Aug. 8.
So Miami can only start on 7/24 at the earliest. Their first listed practice is 7/25. They list 10, and do not list the first Monday and the second Saturday and Sunday plus the day before the game.
That’s the five days off the 15.
So they show 10 practices before the first game with the possibility of only 4 additional.
I doubt that they will never give the guys a day off.
Probably they will have meetings some of those 4 days.
They still have no more than a dozen practices.
I still think that’s not much of a Training Camp before the first game.
It’s what the players wanted and bargained for. If they had their choice they’d have no camp and just come into work the week of the first preseason game.
Camp is for young players trying to latch on. The vets all work out on their own, when they aren’t in the building.
The NBA is too top heavy. These $40+M contracts are outrageous and guaranteed. Let’s hope the NFL doesn’t go to guaranteed contracts as the norm.
It’s heading that way. The amount of guaranteed money in the bigger contracts lately have increased substantially. All it will take is a few teams getting burnt and it will swing the other way again.
Pretty soon it will be 3on 3 because they aren’t going to be able to afford to play 6on 6 anymore
Would y’all be upset though if it was the Knicks signing those guys and not Brooklyn?
I would try and be excited and hope for the best, but an achilles injured Durant and an oft injured Kyrie would not have been my choice. If the Knicks can just not be like the NY Mets and not always try for the quick fix, I think eventually they can actually field a competitive team by continuing to build through the draft. I like some of their young core, I like Robinson, Knox and I hope Barrett is the real deal. The Knicks have 2 1st RD picks next year, and if Kristaps doesn’t reach “unicorn” status then it’s possible it’s a high pick from Denver.

I know that Crowley was suggesting to Aziraphale that it would be a good place to escape to during the end times. At least inhabitable for a demon and an angel i suppose.
indeed
and is everyone not one or the other?
Have to assume that in the NFL everything is up for grabs when you go into contract negotiations. Total amount, structure, guarantees, whether they serve your favorite bottled water on the plane. Think the players (top ones at least) are getting smarter in concentrating on the “for sure” money. Huge dollar amounts that hit the headlines are great, but if you can get cut what’s it matter?
Today is July 1, which means it’s Bobby Bonilla Day.
“On July 1 of every year from 2011 to 2035, the New York Mets have and will write a $1.19 million check to former player Bobby Bonilla.” And all cause he turned $5.9 mil in owed salary into a long-term deal.
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/bobby-bonilla-contract-day-125428712.html
The deal expires in 2035, at which point Bonilla will have been paid $29.8 million for a season in which he did not even play for the Mets.[6]
the reason the Mets did that was because of their keen stockbroker who would make wise investments for them with outrageous returns, I think his name was Bernie Madoff
Mike
Kyrie played 67 games last year. He’s missed games in his career but nothing really unsual IMO
Durant was injured during the finals and that injury might end up being nothing.
Are you sure you aren’t nitpicking these guys to soften the blow
The Nets might be the best team in the East next year after those 2 signings – those are 2 very good players – and they didn’t give up any of their young players to sign them
Achilles is a big injury for a BBall player, but it is for DE’s too and Wake has recovered from a couple without a lot of drop off.
when the Nets gave away all those picks for pierce and garnett look how it worked for them, is this history repeating itself? getting an injured Durant and a problem child in Irving?
even with a healthy durant i dont think they are a championship team, durant had westbrook and harden and couldn’t get it done. the splash bros had a lot to do with durants success.
Hard not to think of that trade at this point. And would be saying the same if was a healthy Durant. Seems Nets see next year as a get ready for Kevin one.
Seems Miami is trading Whiteside to the Blazers
good riddance!
what are they getting in return?
https://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/2019/07/portland-trail-blazers-trade-for-hassan-whiteside-send-meyers-leonard-moe-harkless-to-miami-heat.html
I don’t k ow how much $ the guys they picked up by get paid
But trading Whiteside probably gave the heat a huge savings in terms of cap
There is talk that they will be trading for Brandon Beal
Yeah, the Bonilla contract was really a right place right time sore of thing. Bonilla owed 5.9mil, Madoff tells them he can turn that 5.9 into 60mil, Bonilla makes money by getting a 28.5 to re-do the contract and the Mets get (or think they will get) 60mil in return for 28.5. Instead the 5.9 mil investment, goes poof, so the mets are out the 5.9 and the 28.5 and Bonilla gets to look like the most schrewd businessman ever, even though there was 0 chance to lose for him, unless of course he didnt have an inheritance clause in the deal that made it expire when he did. As i understand it though, there is a clause for his family to get the pay outs even after he passes. Probably why the Mets havent had him bumped off
When first read about it thought Bonilla had a great agent who basically set up his retirement plan not matter what came down the road. And Bonilla had made plenty of millions at that point. So he could wait for it to kick in.
Piggy – No, I’m just being honest. I was discussing this before Durant went to the Nets. The guy we all wanted was Kawhi Leonard. Once Durant got hurt, we all decided we didn’t want to take a chance on Durant and the only way I would have taken Kyrie Irving is if he came w/Durant because Durant wanted him, but that was before he ruptured his achilles. It makes for exciting news for the Nets, but I think there’s a pretty decent chance they may be sorry once all is said and done. We’ll see how it works out.
Discussing it with my 2 Knicks fan friends.
Agreed- similarly, I think the Lakers are likewise in a bag position with a 35 y/o LeBron- Anthony Davis is really good, but he can’t carry that team when LeBron can’t play and they won’t be able to afford the cast it would require to make that possible.
Also a bad one
Yeah I think the pelicans made out like a bandit on that trade
D – Wake doesn’t have to run back and forth 1000x per game like they do in basketball. If he can’t explode like he used to then it’s likely Durant won’t be as good as he was. Whether that’s good enough or not remains to be seen. Believe me, I’ll be watching because I’m curious as hell to see how he does and what could have been for the Knicks.
Bart Scott said on the radio if Julip Jones who had an achilles injury can come back KD should be able to. Yes basketball players run a lot, but not the same torque and push off as WRs who run like 4 miles every game.
When did Julio Jones ever rupture his achilles? Even if he did, I don’t think WR’s have to run back and forth as much basketball players do. They don’t have to run 50′ and then stop, and run 50′ back the other direction all game.
It’s about explosive push off that’s why I drew the comparison to Wake. Different muscles involved with the running back and forth and the Achilles isn’t really stressed in the back and forth
Just going by what Bart Scott said, I don’t remember Jones with an achilles either and didn’t look it up. Maybe early in his career? Basketball players jog a lot of the time and then settle into their positioning, WR’s run more hardcore routes 20+ yards as in much more extreme torque. I get his point. They’ve come along way in Achilles injury repair. Back in the day you were done.
Is it Friday yet?
Anyway play this one loud
It’s Friday in spirit
Now we’ll chill
I love this song
Celtics get Enis Cantor for almost nothing, after losing Al Horford. For the money I’d take Cantor all the way.
Just saw that KD and Kyrie both took less money than the Knicks were offering to sign with the Nets because DeAndre Jordan wanted to join them but not with the Knicks. She they took less so they could bring him in. Jordan spent the last season with the Knicks and basically told them they didn’t want any part of that. Damn
If true that’s pretty messed up
Mike E.; Is it REALLY TRUE??? — Could the Mets actually finish the season in LAST PLACE behind the lowly Marlins???
AHHHH —- THE HORROR, THE HORROR!!
With that bullpen, yes! But they’re off tonight so they’re safe for now. LOL
Well, Tim, if the management geniuses of the Mets get fired, they can rest assured that Steve Ross will find a job for them!! Little Stevie Blunder just can’t help himself when it comes to hiring losers.
Hopefully, the Flores hire is a winner. But I say “SHOW ME!!” Show me just ONE head coach hired by Ross who has a career winning record in the NFL.
Not sure what Ross has to do with the Mets.
Baseball and Basketball. WTF?
Bizarro World! 😉
Happy Canada Day!
I’m just back from a much needed beach trip. First day back to work completely destroyed any relaxation I achieved while I was gone.

I just saw a thing from the Dolphins on FB that said what if these two legends went against each other and it was Csonka and Zach Thomas. Zach had enough concussions the last thing he needed to contend with was Csonka.
Hi Herd nice to see you this evening
Sam Madison covering Paul Warfield 🤷♂️
Dwight Stevenson knocking heads with Manny 🤷♂️
Nick Bounaconti chasing down Ricky 🤷♂️
Norm Evans vs Wake
They said legends but Dick Anderson and Jake Scott (pick one) would have feasted off Tannehill like every game was Christmas lol 🤷♂️
To clarify- Anderson and Scott are indeed legends it’s the rest of the players listed not so much
Capt Crunch meeting Lousaka Polite in the hole on 3rd and 1 🤷♂️
Mike Kolen for the unwashed
One of OD’s all time favorites
HOW RIGHT YOU ARE, Sonny!! Mike Kolen was the President of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at one time. But, on the football field, he was the devil incarnate who CRUSHED any adversary who got in his way!!
Captain Crunch EARNED his nickname!!
Hey Son. Good to have a minute to check in. Work is crazy. Home is crazy. Life is crazy. I go to the beach for a week, I see on Facebook there was a tornado here in town, start looking at the pics and see the road leading to my house with trees down all around. Thankfully no damage to my house and my long lost watering can for my flowers blew back in from wherever it had been hiding! 😂
Yeah it flew back from the neighbor that kept it lol
Glad you were fine from the storm
Hard to put a Punter against someone so how about this – rank in order the following:
Larry Seiple
Reggie Roby
Brandon Fields
Why is it hard to put a punter against others? All time greatest Dolphins list goes #1 Marino, #2 Fields, #3 Roby.
Canada legalized weed therefore every day should be Happy Canada Day 🤷♂️
Last one
Legends in the making:
Minkah balling against Mercury Morris
X on Oronde Gadsden
Gesicki covered by none other than AJ Duhe
And finally…
Tunsil going against JT
When Duhe is covering Gesicki, is the field dry or muddy?
are you in canada?
OD – The Mets can go one of 2 directions. They can really start losing and then trade a few of their players which would then make them a strong candidate to compete for last place. They could also win a few here and there and hover a few games under .500 or close enough to .500 not to pull the plug. I think the former is more likely than the latter though
it’s amazing that with their payroll they suck!
They continue to add bad contracts year after year, it’s amazing. They’re saddled with Cano for $81M for the next 4 years. They did this because they thought it was worth it to get Diaz, and they also figured Cano would be serviceable or better for at least 2 years. As per usghe, any former AL all star 2B the Mets acquire at the end of their career (Alomar, Baerga), they fall a cliff in production.

_________________________________
that would be a great addition
Cousins is from here in Mobile.
Since M13 is still not back (miss him), I have a trivia question.
We have been talking about aliens and basketball so:
What planet is Darryl Dawkins from?
No cheating, should be easy for the old farts on here. I only remember cause I was a 76er fan back then.
Chocolate Thunder
That was his nickname not planet, lol.
Xenu…. which means remember but can’t come up with the planet’s name (and don’t cheat).
I admit i looked it up so i am not going to say it so people actually get a chance to answer legit. Pretty funny stuff, i was unaware of that.
Herd, what beach did you go to?
What beach does Son go to? My guess would be Son of a beach
KaeperNIKE
I hate the idea of boycotting a company i kind of like but this shit is way past ridiculous.
Tim Knight can’t understand the connection between the Mets and Ross.
Why am I NOT surprised??
One of Ross’s first hires was a former BASEBALL GUY who Ross sent to Tallahassee to try to get the State of Florida to fund a big percentage of the cost of updating the Dolphins football stadium. This baseball guy (whose name has escaped me) failed miserably. The Republican controlled legislature wouldn’t even put the issue up for consideration!! Ross ripped the Republicans, promising to back their opponents in upcoming elections. Eventually, Ross let go this baseball guy who returned to an executive role with another franchise! But, the message was clear.
—————
TO WIT: If you are a failed baseball guy, Steve Ross just might have a job for YOU! And the Mets seem to have their share of “failed baseball guys” in the FO.
GOT IT????????
OD, i swear that you can make anything circle back around to Ross and his management of the Dolphins, and many times, this one included, it amazes me how you traverses it from point a to point Ross. Ill admit you generally have a path, however subjective the pathway might be lol.
THE NAME OF THAT FAILED “BASEBALL GUY” Ross hired is Mike Dee, who had failed as an exec of the Padres before Ross hired him to be CEO of the Miami Dolphins — a job he seemed unqualified for given his lack of NFL experience. Ross hired Dee to be his henchman in Tallahassee and to do “other projects.” During his time here, Dee uttered the memorable words “No improvements will be made on the Dolphins stadium unless public financial support is part of the overall project.” Well, Dee didn’t stay around long enough to see the lie in his words. Ross fired him before announcing his plan to modernize Sun Baked Stadium AT HIS OWN EXPENSE.
—–
dEE LATER JOINED THE rED sOX fo, THUS ENDING HIS FAILED CAREER IN THE nfl.
OD — sorta of happy how that worked out, even if not how Ross intended. He put a whole bunch of money into the stadium he owned and now even more to make it work for the Miami open. And all that means the Dolphins are here to stay in South Florida.
Did he have a daughter named Sandra Dee? she was in that movie Grease wasn’t she?
god i hate that movie.
Chick-A-Dee was his pet
OD, the Mets have their ups and downs for sure, but they were in the World Series just a few years ago. The bullpen is what is sinking their season this year. It’s been historically bad. 20 blown leads in the late innings by this group. If it was just half of that they’d still be right there in the thick of things.

They are doubling down on the black American market being theirs.
This was a reply to D regarding Nike.
YOUNG STANGER: I’m sure every Miami Dolphins season ticket holder is thrilled beyond words about Ross’s role in a tennis tournament!!!! However, those same ticket holders would be far more thrilled to read about Ross’s role in winning NFL playoff games. Unfortunately, that story WON’T EXIST until AFTER he sells the team.
Oh, and the Dolphins being here to stay was taken for granted BEFORE ROSS bought the team. NEVER any doubt in my mind about the Fins staying here. While it’s true that the number of season ticket holders has dropped substantially (especially those seats directly behind the Dolphins’ bench), fact is that Ross’s departure will be met with glee (and MORE ticket sales) the first year after he departs.
HOPE I’m ALIVE TO SEE IT!!!!!
Me too!
Cool enough OD. Was just saying glad the Dolphins will stay here. And seems with all the money into the stadium even after Ross is gone. Figure can’t control when that happens but next guy is locked in with all that money into the privately owned stadium.

Herd, what beach did you go to?
Topsail Island, NC. I’d never been there before but it was good.
wow Herd … i am currently looking at proplerty there and in nearby Surf City.
Bridgers Ave and N Anderson and maybe even Ocean itself.
Did you find it nice?
I liked it. It’s quiet. Predominantly beach houses and duplexes vs the big hotels you have at a lot of other places I’ve gone. Still a lot of rebuilding going on there from a hurricane last fall. My son and I spent several hours looking for these missile towers from the 1940s that were part of the military developing surface to air missiles. Some are obvious, some have been incorporated into houses and are harder to spot. Never did find one of them. Pretty cool.

Herd, I like it there! I was stationed in Jacksonville, NC for 12 years over 3 tours. I have fished that entire coast line from Outer Banks to almost Wilmington. Topsail Beach is quiet and nice. I remember Larry Bird owed a house on Topsail Beach in the 90’s because of the seclusion. Not sure if he still does. Any young Marines hit on you? LOL
No. Or old ones either! 😂
I lived on Topsail when I was stationed at Lejeune.
I was bitching about the baseball and basketball talk and I’ve turned it into a beach blog.
Better than the non sports
There’s a pig picture for everything. And there’s some connection with pigs and Topsail. I don’t think it’s anything you want to hear about.
If i were Ross i’d be damn worried, i can see OD perched on a stadium light with a 30-06!
amazing to have so many connections with blog people and a tiny little place, but I fogot Lejeune is so near there, pulling lots of men through that area.
Larry Bird also lived here in Naples. In fact, his kids were in classes in elementary school with my sons. The son was on my son’s Y-league basketball team.
Being from Charleston, we more think of Parris Island, and then of course we had our own navy base, air force base, coast guard base, and I think we had some Army stationed there as well.
We also had bunkers on Sullivan’s Island that I think housed mortars or something. Now the library is there, and people live in some, all “underground.”
We also had cannons there that could shoot 10 miles.

Naples – Was Bird’s son any good in BB? By any good, I mean special
He was not as good as my son. My son once got 42 points in a game.
Connor and Mariah I think were their names.
Bird’s two children that lived with him were adopted.
They’d be about 25 years old or so now.
He had a “cocktail waitress on the road” daughter
that never lived with him. Don’t know her name, much older though.
Then when he got married,
his wife was apparently unable to have kids, so they adopted 2.
Larry used to come after school to my wife’s lab
for tutoring. She was a computer science teacher,
so she taught him how to use Excel and make Powerpoints
and such, just the basics, and then e-mail became necessary,
so she taught him to do the internet stuff.
He was alwys very nice to my wife, not so arrogant as he was to me,
but then I think is when he became FO with the Pacers,
so he only visited Naples, not really lived here.
Don’t know if he still has property in Gulf Shore Estates.
(or whatever it was)
