    Loved him - for odd, complex reasons, FUBeAR grew up in Raleigh, NC as a HUGE Red Sox fan…Tiant was so fun to watch!

    Always remember seeing this pic in FUBeAR’s weekly SI - he was one cool dude.

    Under current processes, CBP and ICE cannot ensure they are keeping high-risk noncitizens without identification from entering the country. Additionally, TSA cannot ensure its vetting and screening procedures prevent high-risk noncitizens who may pose a threat to the flying public from boarding domestic flights.” - Joseph V. Cuffari, Ph.D., Inspector General, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 9/30/24

    To the players at the time it meant something. What you think doesnt count.
    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.


    Opportunity is unattainable for most people because it is disguised as hard work!!

    Lonnie Warwick, middle linebacker on the Minnesota Vikings original "Purple People Eaters" defense in the late '60s has died at 82. He anchored the first version of the Purple People Eaters defense from 1965 until 1972, when he was replaced at middle linebacker by Jeff Siemon. He played in Super Bowl IV with the Vikings.
