Just watched Baghdad ER the other day. Watching it you really feel grateful for what the men and women of our armed services go through to protect us.

I get upset when some people relate sports to war...I have done both...they are nothing alike

Our soldiers are the bravest in the world and they deserve all of our respect for what they do:yesnod:

The lynchpin of modern history.

On a much less important note....how bout Ben vs. Matt in the movie selection/career path thingy?

Matt makes Saving Private Ryan, Ben takes Pearl Harbor.

Matt gets the Bourne series, Ben does Gigli.

I'm just sayin', they are both very wealthy, successful young men, I just can't help noticing one gets roles that rock, the other gets poop.

Is it the actor or the choices they make?

I took my Mom to Hawaii in 1993 and we were at the Arizona Memorial.

During the Park Rangers tour, I asked if it were true that if you served on the Arizona that you could request burial aboard when you died.

My Mom, (and the rest of the tour group) didn't know this and was surprised to find out that it is true. Park Ranger Divers will take the interred body and place it in gun turret #1. There were over a dozen sailors that had requested it.

She asked how I knew this fact. I told her it was an episode of Magnum PI! And people say that TV isn't educational!

Maybe it depends on what you are willing to do to get the role. *casting couch*

And apparently, Ben is not the performer that Matt is.....:D

The USS Arizona Memorial has 7 windows on the side, 7 on the top and 7 on the opposite side. In a pertetual 21 Gun Salute!

Elvis Presley while in Hawaii filming Blue Hawaii, performed 3 concerts. The money from the 3 concerts were donated to help build the memorial.

The USS Missouri (Big Mo) (The ship that the Japanese signed their surrender on.) Is moored at Pearl Harbor and it's bow faces the USS Arizona. Forever stading watch over the USS Arizona and her men.

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
