Wow.  I know this is the kinder, gentler Post Patterns, so I'll be shunned liked a drunken Mennonite for posting this, but I had thoughts reminiscent of the various suicide scenes from Airplane as I read Sager and Company nitpick back and forth about if a guy can put on weight and be just as fast and quick.  I tried to click away, but I couldn't -- it was almost mystical.  To read Sager, in typical Sager fashion, make such a fuss over the fact that there are no guarantees and no one, save the Almighty, knows what the future holds.  For a second, just a brief wisp of time, I felt compelled to launch into a tirade against Greg, for old time's sake if anything, in true 1999 MadSwede fashion (whoops - 3rd person self-reference...sorry).  But then I remembered I had banned myself because Pat Coleman yelled (figuratively) at me because I recommended blocking the site's popup ads.  So consider this post for what it is...a cry for help.  Or maybe a cowardly, passive aggressive attempt to tell Greg that it's a waste of time to make a point about life that everyone, save the Amazing Kreskin and Dionne Warwick, has already accepted.  Adjö and ha det så bra my friends -- it's time for this self-absorbed tirade to end.  I now fade off into the mist as I wait for the fall.  By the way, whatever happened to those popups?

It was probably an attempt by Pat to lure back your wit and wisdom!!     Next thing we know, we'll have a TitanBooster or Bob Meyer sighting!!  That would be something!!

When enough people purchased Kickoff in 2005, we stopped using popup ads. We could live without that revenue.

Bjorn, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

So consider this post for what it is...a cry for help.  Or maybe a cowardly, passive aggressive attempt to tell Greg that it's a waste of time to make a point about life that everyone, save the Amazing Kreskin and Dionne Warwick, has already accepted.

I thought about making a crack here about how it's easier to bend a spoon with one's mind than it is to draw the Insane Svensk out into the open, but instead I'll just ... walk on by.

So Sager had to ask..........good thing I never get tired of hearing this story.........

Oh, I think he's always out in the open, it's just with his excellent skills that we don't notice.

Hello all, I havn't posted in a while but I couldn't resist. First of all CONGRATS to Andy for being drafted, Second of all just as I would never try and tell Pat how to run D3.com I am certainly not qualified. I also won't presume to be qualified to tell an NFL team how best to draft and develope players. Lets leave it to the professionals.

Ok... leave it to the professionals, but that doesn't mean we can't have an opinion or talk about it, right?

I was thinking studebaker might be comin into some money.

[Mr. Ypsi]

I was thinking studebaker might be comin into some money.

Yeah, but I heard it is mostly already committed - you got any idea what a fully-restored Studebaker goes for these days?

North Park had a two-sport star (football quarterback, baseball pitcher) named Gary Duesenberg back in the early '70s, and North Central had a standout basketball center named Curtis Hudson back in the early '80s. Now we need to find a Nash, a Packard, a Stutz, and a DeSoto somewhere in CCIW annals, and we're all set in the classic American cars category.
