    Nostalgia - Childhood Toys

    I had this set up as a kid. Then I cut the rear axle and removed the right dual to make it a real plowing tractor. Of course I lost the damned smoke stack almost immediately. Play was serious business.

    Its always an especially hard nut cup shot when your top guy falls (Bastida).

    People give up all the time. Doesn't have to be total, just a small lack of confidence in a tense spot. That's what makes those guys that labor all the way through on the backside so damned impressive. They could let up and they don't.

    I wish this first round was turning out differently. At least our actual big guns have done their jobs. The mid range guys are getting pretty well f***** up.

    KOT vs DC Possible Rematch in KC

    FWIW: KOT and Ramirez both ducked a match with Carr. In a just world, they'd be penalized for it.

    Matside Coaching

    As to the coaches' advice, the only thing I've noticed is the "always take bottom" mentality. Just stubborn, probably. The 3 point take down changes that calculation even more.

    Matside Coaching

    My 2 cents: the loud, aggressive coaches need to be T'd up: Assess team point penalties, have them kicked from the sidelines, etc. If loudmouth coaches are intimidating the refs, the answer is NOT to ask the sane coaches to act like lunatics as well. This is why I think sports are increasingly...

    Dad Sayings - Words of Wisdom

    "Je*** Chr****, you don't know a Philips from a flathead." Over the years this went from being a factual statement to a metaphor. I spent a lot of time fetching tools, and apparently never learned a g-damned thing.

    Dresser talks gambling investigation

    I have to completely eat crow on this deal. Despite being skeptical of police in almost all situations, even I could not fathom that the gambling investigation was a DCI hit job. Turns out that's exactly what it was. Civil rights violations all over the place, insubordination, extra legal and...

    I was pissed and I’m hurting

    Iowa's wrestlers were less aggressive overall, but ISU's coaches take the cake for passivity.

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    The only NFL player that I've ever felt to have held up a team seemingly on his own (without any other star power) was Barry Sanders. Everyone else that had elite success had at least some elite talent around them.
