I am shocked! Just shocked!

They're all "U" guys. So I'm not shock.

Now for the Goodell crap, pretty convince that's all Vilma's. Beason not dumb enough to pull a $hit like that. Only a Saints* player would do that.

Tongue in cheek, so to speak. Just always interesting to see how those school bonds continue, especially considering this year's bounty issues, Cam, Division rivalry, etc. But as co-owner, Beason gets some responsibility for the Goodell crap also.

Assuming your stat is accurate, that means 30% make it, and you'll never know if you don't try. If the guy has his financial world in order and wants to try his hand in the restaurant business with a small part of his worth, more power to him. Beason doesn't strike me as a guy who's going to be reckless with his money, and he does strike me as a guy who learns from the mistakes and misfortunes of others (i.e. those of Raghib Ismail).

I read somewhere it was a Brother Jimmy's franchise. There are a handful up here in NYC, based on NC BBQ. Not bad overall, one of the few places up here you can get Cheerwine, but there are better bbq joints up here. My favorite is in Brooklyn, The Smoke Joint - banging.
