My favorite band and I are the same age.  They are going on their 50th anniversary tour next year.  They play in Charlotte tomorrow, coincidentally (I'll be there).

Yes, many of us on here are getting old.

Was at a local late model race a few years back and saw the last name of a driver whom I remembered a driver with the same last name from back when I was growing up watching race who ran Indy cars and Nascar Cup events.

So before the event, I was in the infield pit area and stopped by to see the driver (Eric Darnell) and introduced myself explaining a background I had in motorsports and then asked him if he was from Chicago and when he said he grew up there .........I responded, " You know, I used to watch a Bay Darnell out of Chicago when I was growing up was that your dad by chance?"

He paused a bit and put his head down.......and hesitated to which I thought well maybe they aren't related after all. 

Then he looked up and smiled back at me and with a laugh replied, "Yup, we are related but he's not my dad........that was my grandfather."

Man did I feel old..............

    • Interesting topic.  I have had a few NFL friends and one told me that he could not work out or train unless the activities and facilities were approved. AI: In many NFL contracts, certain activities are restricted, and injuries sustained during those activities can lead to the voiding of contract guarantees or even the entire contract. These restrictions often include dangerous activities like skydiving, rock climbing, or even engaging in contact sports like boxing. Additionally, injuries sustained while working out at non-team facilities or during personal recreational activities may be classified as "non-football injuries," potentially impacting the player's compensation.    Having said that, I question the reason the person filming this was not helping.  Secondly, the decision to put it on social media makes it seem a bit prearranged.  I do not think this would violate his contract, but I do think it is a bit stupid on his part in that he could be injured.    
    • Doesn't make it right.  And as you put it, you wanted to ban him from being country, which is essentially policing who he is as a person lol  I get protecting the "asset", but banning people from living their life is crazy. Russell Wilson likes to play helicopter pilot.  I would deem that WAY more dangerous.  Those things scare me.  I still wouldn't want to keep him from doing it if I were his boss.  I would just try not to think about it, haha.
    • Could do better could do worse. I've seen some people very indignant over bringing him back and I can absolutely relate to the sentiment. But it's just in a backup role. He's also a good locker room presence and an effort player so for a 1 year rental in a year where we aren't going to do much it's fine. This is a development year. And there will be options if need be at the trade deadline. Besides at the end of the day we all knew a signing like this was around the corner after how drafting Mark Williams ended. He should have been our franchise center for the next several years. I don’t put that failure on the Hornets.
