LMAO...It doesn't bother me Tom, you're one of the few that makes me laugh on this site, I can give a rat's @$$ what you think of the Patriots and I know you'll be rooting for the other team next week, should be fun reading your posts. It's all good fun Bud!

At least Braun is some-what apologetic

You may be right flyfisher, A-Rod could have started the juice in a contract year or he got on the juice in Texas to live up to the contract. I thought he explained that in his "public" interview on TV, but you never know. I'll give you that.

I agree with you flyfisher, Bonds didn't need to get on the junk to be a HOF'er and I would put Clemens and, yes, Alex Rodriguez in that category. Those guys just needed to play the game and the numbers would have just accumilated for them for HOF credentials.

Can't argue with you there Derrick, but when they hit 18, it's hard to preach to them. They're free to make they're own decisions. I'm sure a bunch of these players were taught by their parents right from wrong and made bad decisions. H3LL, I still make bad decisions and my father admits to it as well. We're human.

You know, I've been flip flopping on the roid/HOF issue for a while and the only terms I can come up with is that they should not be in the HOF. Believe me, I love watching baseball, playing baseball and coaching my 9 year old son for 4 years. For much of the roid error, it was entertaining as all H3LL and as a fan, it was great to watch, but then you put the element of kids trying to emulate their "heros" and that's what does for me. It's hard to talk to a bunch of youngsters who ask questions about "why didn't so and so get in the HOF?" After coaching these kids last season, who try and mimic - you name him - batting stance, to get them to bat the way they feel natural and free swing as they should be, the kids are just way too impressionable at this stage in their baseball experience to make excuses that "A-Rod did it this way, why can't I?" There are far too many health issues to consider after your baseball life. If A-Rod really wants to help, leave baseball and quietly go away. He would help a lot of young kids now by getting out of the spot light. JMO

I'll be sure to show her this post so she can remind you of her name...with a dope slap!...LMAO!

Thankfully, I haven't had arm or leg problems, but I wish you the best of luck.

Some great games scheduled this weekend, 3 0f the four games should be real entertaining in my opinion: Saint/Hawks: Who Dat in an upset 27-24 Colts/Pats: High scoring and down to the wire - Pats by 3 49ers/Panthers: Would love to see the Panthers advance, but they're a year away - Niners by a Touchdown Chargers/Broncos: Not even close, Broncos by 2 TD's

Balmy one today, 8* when I got up @ 4:00 AM with a wind chill of -3*. The wind chill was much cooler in Boston with the wind coming off the Charles @ 6:00 AM.

I pretty much use them in the same conditions but if I'm looking for a little more distrurbance, then i go to a pop-r style bait. I'm like shootermcbob, I throw them anywhere anytime of day as long as the water temps are above 60*.

Sam being a college football fanatic and If I know Sam well enough, I believe that comment was in reference to Cam's college career and not Pro.

You know, I checked the weather yesterday and couldn't believe that we were supposed to get into the 50's, 54* the last I looked when I was in Boston today. Then I saw the rest of the country and noticed all theses sub-zero temps in the middle of the country and extending all the way down into Texas. Hokie smokes, I couldn't believe it! What did they call it...a polar vortex? What the he11 is that?

What a barn burner!

Yeah Tony, just a little chilly. I got up around 6:30 this morning and saw -5. I'm not sure about you, but the older I get the less I like the cold weather...LOL Cool, I hope that works for ya. I think if you apply some hot glue or some Gorilla Glue to a piece of paper and then pick some up with a tooth pick, you'll get just enough material and in the shape you want to apply to the jig head. Fast and easy! Let me know how that works, I have some of those heads and know exactly the cover/vegetation your describing, The vegetation is just low enough for a more stand-up presentation and that 90* line tie would be perfect. Good luck Tony and don't be afraid to keep in touch. We should try and get together with the other MA folks this year (Rhino, grandpa and Tate)!

Hookset, are talking about that little extra lead that is up against the line tie? I would suggest a little hot melt glue and if you don't like how that stands up (meaning it doesn't last long and peels off), Gorilla Glue should do the trick. Good luck bud! EDIT: BTW, I haven't seen you on here in a while, I hope all is well my friend.

Should be some great games to watch today, any predictions? For me, I see a cold game in Philly, but Brees will be hot...WHO DAT by 3 The Chiefs and Colts should be a great game...the Colts by 7 Enjoy the games all!

Knowing where you'll be for only a couple of months is good in construction these days. I'll be starting a 3 month project next week which makes me feel good, but I'd rather have a 1 year project... ...Oh well, take the good with the bad I guess. Good luck Bud!

Good luck Bud, stay strong!

God bless ya, I had to do the driveway in 2 phases because I was too cold to finish in 1 session.

Exactly why they cry, the only parking for folks who have condos and apartments in Boston is on the street, when the Mayor declares a snow emergency they have to move their cars to parking garages. My project was across from City Hall and parking was $27/day for the early bird special (before 8:00) am and $36/day after 8:00 am. I 'm not sure if they get any type of discount during snow emergencies because the majority of those garages are owned by private entities.

It was a balmy 2* this morning when I went out to clear the driveway and back deck. Headed for -7* for the over night low. I think I'd rather be where you are...

It's amazing how accurate that vid is for some of the folks that have lived here their whole lives...
