Thought I'd let you know that I really appreciate the sacrifices, and unconditional love you always gave me. I never told you back when I was a kid. Now I'm telling you publicly, I love you. Sure, I say it at the end of our phone calls, or on a card, but I really do mean it.
You were always the one who had to haul me to my baseball games and practices. You did this while raising my three brothers and one sister too. I know now that you couldn't have had a lot of free time, yet you still made sure I made it to the field. All of this for a smart-aleck kid who wishes that his talent level even approached marginal.
Dad was always working, leaving five kids and a household for you to handle. So, you seldom had time to attend my games, but when you did I was so proud. All the other kids always said I had the prettiest Mom in the stands. I was also very proud of you when the other mothers talked you into playing first base on their softball team. Well, maybe a cross between pride and embarassment, but I was only 11.
Mom, I also wanted to say I'm sorry for any troubles or worries that I've brought you. I'm OK, don't worry about me. Thanks for everything. You're the best mother a guy could have. Happy Mother's Day!
Shay Oberg, a 21 year old switch-hitting junior at Montana State-Billings, has hit three homers so far this season. Shay was born without a left hand. She always batted from the left hand side of the plate starting in Little League on through high school, using her right hand with a back hand stroke. That was good enough to be named all-state in her senior year at Billings (Mont.) West High.
Shay just started switch-hitting this season. Her three round-trippers have all been righty, using a forearm stroke from the right side. Her team, the Yellowjackets, are a game out of first place, and are 16-4 in their last 20 games. In addition to the three homers, Shay is batting .259, has 12 RBI in 81 at-bats, and has three assists from leftfield.
It's nice to see a woman overcome real adversity, and get recognition through her performance on the field. She wanted to play, and excelled at it. She didn't demand respect, she earned it. Here's to Shay Oberg, a real lady on and off the field.
Michael Vick is going both ways in prison. Slick Vick is quarterbacking both sides in the prison football games. I guess Paul Crewe is too old to get any reps? The real Crewe, not that half-assed Sandler. Apparently it's just inmate on inmate action----just like after lights out----without the guards having a team. Mean Machine, Mean Machine....
We got next
Vick is doing his time in the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas. Ooohh, that sounds tough. It may be, but Vick is actually in something called a minimum security satellite prison camp. Sounds almost as rough as the NASA Space Camp I attended one summer. Now that was tough, 200 nerds with no bullys to keep them in line.
This is a Virginia Tech communications major.
According to the New York Daily News, Atlanta Falcons owner, Arthur Blank, and Vick have been exchanging love letters. Blank confirmed that Vick sent him a letter first-----Do you like me? Check yes, or no----then Blank fired one back. Blank also blabbed that Kevin Winston, a Falcons executive, has visited Vick several times at Space Camp....er, I mean prison camp. Blank says that he has no plans to visit Vick. What a tease.
Prison sure has aged Vick, seen here with a 'friend' of his.
If you are one of several that Vick owes money to, first, Ha Ha, you deserve to lose it, and second, it might take awhile to recoup your #### investment. See, your meal ticket, Vick, is washing dishes in the joint for 12 cents an hour. Nice to see all those business courses at Tech paid off.
Vick's still learning exactly what goes in the dishwasher.
Vick seemingly had it all. ####, fighting dogs, leaching relatives, and a hollowed out plastic water bottle. Now can he come back and turn his life around? Will 23 months in the big house straighten him out? Will he appreciate everything that he once had? What would be your one word answer to those questions? "Either, get busy livin', or get busy playin' quarterback."
ChrisLong, coming of####reat NFL combine, is being mentioned as the possible number one overall draft pick in next month's NFL draft. The UVA standout is, of course, the son of NFL Hall of Famer HowieLong. This got me to thinking about fathers and sons who played in the NFL. Over 150 father son combos have played in the league. I'm just going to focus on those in which one or the other made the HOF.
Chris and HowieLong.
In most of the HOF father son combos it was the father who made the HOF. The only two I could find in which the son went into the Hall were JohnHannah and BruceMatthews, two AFC tough guys. John's father, Herb, played one season in the NFL. Bruce's father, Clay, played four seasons with the 49ers back in the 1950s. Bruce's brother, also named Clay, is a HOF possibility. The only other son going into the Hall in the near future is Archie's boy, PeytonManning.
BruceMatthewsJohnHannah
The list of men in the NFL Hall of Fame who have sons that also played in the league is not very long. It includes DaveWilcox, a 49er LB from 64-74. His son, Josh played for two tears in the late 1990s. Cowboy legend,TonyDorsett's son, Anthony played from 1996-2003. RonnieLott's son, RyanNece, has played for the Bucs for the last six years. BobGriese's boy, Brian, is still carrying a clipboard on the NFL sidelines. Bear great, WalterPayton's son, Jarrett, played a year for the Titans.
DonShula made the Hall as a coach, but he played a few years back in the 50s, and he had two sons suit up in the NFL, David and Mike. One other special case is KellenWinslowJr., he is the only current player who might have a chance to join the old man in the HOF.
