Awkward Moment
I was in a section of Dallas east of downtown working one day about 6 months ago. I was driving through a neighborhood and at 11:45 in the morning with the sun shining there was a man in what im assuming was his front yard, leaned up against a tree doin his business. The only thing i could think was, why not the backyard? I mean if i had to go outside of my home i would choose the back 100% of the time. Some people just aint right lol.

Rage Tail Menace
I recently fished it trailing a 1/2 oz NorthStar flip and swim....results were dynamite. This is easily one of my top 3 trailers now. I have yet to fish it naked since the jig combo has been so hot but I will give it a shot tomorrow morning. Another KO by rage tail!!!! Big O you are the MAN!

Anything Better Than This...
Nothing better than being on the water when the scenery is just like your picture. Water like glass, a slight breeze and the sunlight just barely starting to show. The best part is the sound of absolutely NOTHING..........until you hear the splash of that first fish right before you put him in the boat......to me, that is heaven.

Braid For T Rigs?
I dont see really any difference between T rigs and Frogs. Both require a MH-H F-XF rod depending on conditions. Where i fish a MH/F works perfectly. I am not fishing heavy lily pads and extremely dense weeds. It is more moderate cover. I know some people prefer a longer 7'6" rod for longer casts and to pick up more line and get the fish to the boat and out of the mess quicker. Again, I do not have that thick of cover and i personally dont see much casting distance difference between a 7 and 7'6". Which is why i was asking about line. I really love Yo Zuri but I think I will get another setup with braid to use for frogs and Jigs.

Gut Feelings
1 more thing. Guys and girls are not "just friends". Maybe on facebook or Twitter or at work. I have never seen a man and woman hang out together in a non social, 1 on 1 setting multiple times and be "just friends". Obviously something attracts them to eachother to want to hang out so much and I can assure you it aint their political views.

Gut Feelings
This is strictly my opinion from what the information you have given.Even IF nothing is happening between the 2 of them, her actions towards you are EXTREMELY disrespectful. Let me put it this way. If my wife was overseas for months on end away from me, her family and our kids and she even had the slightest thought that some type of foul play was going on with me, I would give her every thing she asked for and answer every single question without anger or hesitation. IF i really wasnt fooling around that is. I would want to give her piece of mind so that when she went back overseas to fight for my kids freedom that I am a faithful husband. Feel me? Just my 2 cents though. If i knew for a stone cold fact that my wife was not having a physical relationship with a man, but she was allowing him in my house to hang out with her when i am not home, that would be unacceptable Around your kids, sitting on your couch without you there. No sir, no way. If she is out with him at 4 in the morning, who is with your kids? She goes to his house every night? Again, if my wife went to another mans house, they would both be in some SERIOUS trouble. On top if that, if I asked my wife to stop going to another mans house while she is married to me and she laughed at me? I would be in jail. Not letting you see her phone is a dead give away. I used to date a girl who played that crap, when she went to the bathroom i would check and there would be texts from her ex that she swore up and down to god nd her mother she didnt talk to anymore. Even if this guy has looked you in the eye and told you straight up he is not messing with your wife, do you believe him? Do you think he would tell you yes if he was? Do you think she would? Obviously not. Out of pure respect she should not be hanging around with another man whether you are overseas in the military or on the night shift at wally world. Hand shakes dont mean what they used to, I wouldnt trust this guy. Dont ignore this man, check into it more. Again, sorry if i seem like an A hole but i have been in the EXACT same situation as you. it was exactly what my friends and family told me it was and exactly what i tried to convince myself it wasnt. I hope I am wrong and everything is ok, but dont ignore it and try and tell yourself your over reacting. Pm me if you need anything man. Anytime.

Braid For T Rigs?
Anyone use braid for your standard T rigs w/o a flouro leader? I want a frogging setup with braid but I dont fish them enough to make one exclusively for this. I was thinking about using my jig/t rig rod for frogging and spooling some braid but I have never used braid before.

One More Week!!!!!!
Thats all I was wanting to hear from you about Murray.I will shut up now.I guess I worded the "no talent" point wrong. Obviously we have defensive playmakers. We need secondary playmakers, which i feel we have now in carr, church and claiborne. I assumed I didnt have to point out Ware and Lee or i would have said besides those 2, we dont have talent. I wasnt trying a diversion tactic, I just thought you would like to hear some NFL history my friend. And dont worry, I dont watch espn. Only for highlights in the morning before work. I listen to local team coverage, no need for ESPN. Im done with the back and forth crap. We will never see eye to eye. Just be happy football is back and be ready for november 22nd sir!

One More Week!!!!!!
Murray didnt even start until week 9. He got injured in week 14 and only rushed 25 yards in that game. So amongst the short time as a starter and sharing the ball going from 3rd string to 2nd string to starter he still managed 897 yards. Are you kidding me? Im not saying he is Arian Foster but he isnt overrated. He is a good Running back. With the starting position from week 1 he will do great this year. Stop looking at the star on his helmet and see him for a player, dont just hate on his talent because he is a Cowboy.I dont overlook team issues just because I am Cowboys homer. If you had originally mentioned the O line i would have agreed with you. It is beyond horrible and I am nervous as hell about the season because of it. Like you said you were born hating the Cowboys so you will never acknowledge any players talent on the team. Your right, stats dont always tell the full story BUT they dont lie. Any QB that has similar completion%, passer rating, TD and INT's as a QB like Tom Brady cant be bad is all im saying. I am not saying he is as good as Brady or comparing them against eachother. I am using Brady as a referance to Romo's talent. Or do you still not understand? The untimely INT's are a killer i agree. Doesnt make him a choker though. I agree he can make better decisions but every QB makes bad decisions. I dont know why I am trying to help you understand. If he threw no INT's and 60 TD's you would still come up with something negative to say because at the end of the day he plays for Dallas. Excuse my error. I meant cleveland not Cinci. Wade Phillips was the D coordinator in 2010 when the Cowboys were ranked 31st in the league for team Defense. So dont act like Phillips was working here and Ryan came in and it suddenly sucked. Ryans D was ranked better last year than Phillips D the year before. So what point does that prove? Nothing except what i mentioned previously. Its not always the coach. You cant make a defense work with no talent. The definition of recurring is "occur again". If his right leg was originally hurt and then he injured his left this would not be a recurring problem. For a problem to re occur it would have to occur in the first place. Last time i checked you have 2 seperate legs. Reguardless, I agree. I have not seen enough out of Austin to call him a good WR just yet. He needs to stay healthy for more than just 1 yr. We will see this year. Here are some fun skins v boys stats just for you sir. Cowboys have finished above your skins in the NFC East every year since 06. Since 2000 your skins have had only 2 winning seasons. Skins regular season record all time is 552-527-27. Cowboys all time record 448-332-6. Cowboys have won 5 out of 8 superbowls. Skins have won 3 out of 5. Since you are such a Cowboys hater I would just like to let you know that at the end of the season requardless of who wins the superbowl, the Cowboys are still a more winning and better franchise than your Redskins. Dallas is Americas team. Goodnight.

One More Week!!!!!!
You cant honestly give a fair opinion on Murray. He hasnt even had a full year as a starter. So saying he isnt a scoring threat is a ridiculous assumption.Romo is a choker because of INT's?!? I just gave you Tom Brady's stats. You may need to re read them if you didnt notice where i wrote that Brady threw more INT's than Romo. So by your standards Brady is more of a choker than Romo. Again, re read what i originally wrote because i clearly stated i am NOT comparing the 2 and i also said that Romo will never be as good as Brady ever. I used Brady as an example to compare stats to. Brady is the best QB in the league without a doubt. If Romo is such a choker, why are his and Brady's stats very close for the 2011 season? I can guarantee you that while both QB's are being chased down by a Defensive player, Romo will create a play on the move better than Brady all day long. They are totally different QB's but Romo is far from a choker. Give me some more reasons why you think he is so horrible since i just proved you wrong in facts. I think your just on the Romo hater bandwaggon like alot of uninformed casual NFL fans are. Look up the stats if you dont believe me. Listen to NFL experts who 95% say Romo is a great QB and not the problem. He might not be the leader he needs to be which i agree with, but he is not a choker or a bad QB. Garret avoiding the run for the pass is not just a personal thing. The entire NFL is a Pass first, run second league. Again, experts will tell you the same thing. Check stats on the run vs the pass on every NFL team if you dont believe. I would be passing alot more too given the O line the Cowboys have. As for Rob Ryan having bad schemes. You dont help justify your point using Cinci and Oakland as examples. They consistently have bad defense reguardless of the coach. Miles Hammy issue is up in the air. This year could be a totally isolated incident. Do you even know if its the same leg as last year?

Berkley Shock Rod
I broke my 7 ft m Cherrywood that i caught my first bass with.I actually liked the rod alot and have been thiking about getting one since they are on clearance at Academy all the time for 9.99$.Never used a Shock rod but I want too.

Good/ Frustrating Day Of Bank Fishing
Just decided to dedicate one for frogging. Threw some hollow bodies this morning at the same spot in the slop and watched 4 swim away. I couldnt hook up, and I was slamming it home. Just too much stretch in the line I suppose....

What Song Takes You Back To The Best Times Of Your Life?
Asher Roth- College....... Definitely not my favorite song BUT at the time it fit perfectly. When I hear it I think of so many things. friends I havent seen in years and some things I did that i wouldnt even think of now days. I know it wasnt that long ago but things change fast lol. Kevin Fowler-Long line of losers is another. I listen to everything depending on my mood or time of the year or whats going on in my life at the time. I think I listen differently than most people do.

One More Week!!!!!!
Saying a player is going to have a break out year is FAR from saying he is Emmit Smith. I didnt even come close to that. Dont take it off the deep end brutha. You seem personally upset by my statement. But let me break it down for you.Demarco Murray played 13 games. In those 13 games he rushed 900 yards on 164 attempts. That is 5.5 YARDS PER CARRY. That is pretty d**n good.You can say that the deadksins "shut him down" in 1 single game last year. I can show you games where LT in his prime was shut down, Emmitt in his prime was shut down, Walter payton etc. Congratulations on playing his run well for 1 game, but that doesnt mean he isnt a good player. How can a player that isnt rated be overrated? All i said was he will have a great breakout year and you get so offended because your a Redskins fan and think I said he will be the next Emmitt.His rehabing is coming along better than expected and he will come back just as strong as before. Tony Romo is a known choker because of...??? The botched snap and hold on the kick in the plyaoffs years ago. I agree that was disgusting. Other than that, what? He throws pics yes. Just like every other QB in the league. Remember, not all pics are QB's fault. If receivers run wrong routes and are not where they are supposed to be then that falls on the receiver. But most people dont see that because they dont really "watch" football. Lets compare Romo to Brady. Brady had a good year last year right? I would say so. Tony romo pass completion % 66.3. Brady was 65.6%. Romo 31 TD'S. Brady 39 TD'S. Romo had 10 INT's and Brady had 12. See what im saying? Brady's QB rating was 105.6 and Romo's was 102.5. The stats are there. Romo is NOT a bad QB. He has not had a winning team around him. Our O line is horrible, yes i agree, and its hard to pass when your running for your life almost every play. Even still he makes plays on the run all game long. Now I am by NO means saying Romo is as good as Tom Brady because they are in different categories. Romo will never be Brady. But he is a good QB. You can have your opinions on Jason Garrett, We dont know him well enough yet. I listen to training camp and his press conferences and interviews and he is one hell of a leader. Say what you want but IMO he is a good coach. As for Rob Ryan, its the same deal with Romo. You have to have good players to work with. If Paula Dean is making a pie but her ingredients are expired or old, the pie is going to suck. You know she can make a good pie, but she doesnt have anything good to make it with. I am not saying Ryan is an excellent D coordinator, but let him get acquainted with his new DB'S which is what was missing last year and see if the pie turns out better this year. Miles hammy issues this offseason are not actually issues. He had a little tweak and they are keeping him out longer than usual for preventitive measures. Why take a chance in the offseason? No matter who we have and how good they are playing you will still have something negative to say because you obviously have a biassed opinion.

The "why?" Stage
I would cut that out quick. My brother in law thinks its funny to teach my kid to say certain things. Yesterday he told my mother while driving in the car to ” go B go”. That ended really fast and if I ever catch him teaching my son those words again I'm going to teach him how to apply the sleeper hold.
