Annual Sales Conference was Tuesday -- Guest Speaker was 4 time Super Bowl Champion Rocky Bleier.

Of course, pretty much EVERY sales speech/presentation has the same general message, but his overall story is pretty remarkable. Didn't know all that much about him prior.

Got drafted into the Army after his rookie season, only to take a few rifle shots to the leg...followed by a grenade while looking for cover. Comes back to the NFL after a miraculous recovery, gets waived twice, then finally makes the team and is thrown into the lineup beside Franco Harris as a result of several injuries to 3-4 guys ahead of him...wins 4 Super Bowls and retires as the Steeler's 4th All time leading rusher. Cool dude. He pretty much destroyed Bradshaw the entire time.

Sounds like someone you old guys would have worshipped.
If you had a team it would be the Steelers, kind of have a feeling you root for them anyways, especially with your Bengals hate.

I don't have a team, at least since MY Houston Oilers. It would be my preference that the NFL got AIDS and died.

But yes, I pretty much worship when the Steelers murk the Bengals...typically the only NFL games I watch all year, when those two play. Average around 400 texts to Jerry on the good days.

For this Atlantis trip the team is making in November, do you have to be staying at the resort to order tickets? Tempted to pull the trigger on this trip but was unsure how the ticket deal worked. Buddy has enough reward points to stay 6 miles down the road at the Hilton.

Anybody else going down besides Anth and Jamie?

If you are the Lakers GM and you are sitting on #1/2 pick after signing Durant this offseason how do you draft?

With Randle there is no need for Simmons, but do you really think Ingram can play the 2?

Do you trade Russell? Better yet can you trade him now?

Got a MFP notification last night that "Your friend WildfatWilly burned 1100 calories in 60 minutes on the elliptical. Congratulate Him!"

1.) False. More like 500 probably.

2.). 27.4 million calories to go and you'll break the 40" waist barrier.

Keep dreaming, stuffed crust.

Cute, but false. Keep on stalking me on MFP, tho. I like it, Jumbo Lump.

Pope, you calling me Wildfat Willy is like me making fun of your hairline or Adrian making fun of someone for being black.

So we still get Luther on the main broadcast, Ne-Yo will have a version on the team specific broadcast.

That's fine. Was sure they'd have Lady Gaga, Taylor, Bon Jovi or some other Super Bowl singer singing the main version. [sick]

Lol, 4 nights at The Cove Atlantis for those dates is $4200 for the lowest room category.

Throw in Flights, Tickets, outrageous food/drinks for 4 days, gambol/entertainment and that's a 8-10K trip for 4 days...to the freaking Bahamas. That place is a joke, imo. That's insane.

-SAE must have some seriously ****** weekend plans lined up. Makes me warm & fuzzy inside, enjoy. :smiley:

if this UK news conference is football related, branding related, or an april fool's joke I'm going to post something mean.

I mean it, too.

Oklahoma. UNC has put Jackson on dominant scorers but his length outside will not stop Buddy. Plus no one else plays defense at all for UNC so Cousins/Spangler will crush that game. I also believe Latin can neutralize Brice Johnson or is at least better suited to do so than anyone else they faced.

Sadly, unc has been playing good defense the last month or so. So krazy's point is null.

Perhaps Oklahoma and Nova can reach some sort of gentlemen's agreement to form a super team to save us from UNC?

It wouldn't shock me at all if the Oklahoma/Villanova winner got a very charitable whistle on Monday night. The NCAA could really benefit from a PR standpoint from something like senior Buddy Hield dragging himself out of poverty to win an NCAA Championship to go along with his very legitimate bachelor's degree from the University of Oklahoma.
