...If Hines Ward played fullback or tight end, he would never be voted the dirtiest player in the NFL as he was last week on an SI.com poll (of a very limited amount of NFL players). Most of those guys should be embarrassed to be taken out the way they are by a guy of Ward's age and size. Many of them complained about being blindsided. That's mostly because they aren't looking to be hit like that by a receiver. He's been in the league long enough now that all opposing defensive players should be...

With the latest "rash" (lol, sorry Karl, I had ta use that flashy word) of eBay auctions posted that are to some, way outta control, I was moved again to wonder why we collect.
We have had many a discussion and some "hot" I might add, about WHY we collect.
I collect for, blah, blah, blah.....
I thought that this may be interesting to you all. It was in my recent Franklin Mint email, and was the results of a competition they had, for people to tell them why...

They go faster, and the cars get better but there has to be a time when the speed and...

Tomorrow night may bring another long year to an end.

It could end an era, as I believe this is the last year at this venue, and it could very well end another season for the Penguins.
IMO, They have nothing to hang their head about. After a great start, the real personality of this team was seen, and they fell in the standings like a rock.
Before it was too late,...

Today my heart is broken. I lost a living thing that is as close to me as my parents were, and my wife and children are.
The day after I got married, my wife and I went to the pound to get a" Puppie".
That was my wife's idea, and it was a cool idea I guess as I never cared for big dogs. So a "Puppie" would work out.
Well we arrived and walked up and down the cages and around the other side and up and down another set. There were very many and they all were...
