Kid was born in Wisconsin at 09:09 on 09.09.09 and weighed in at 09lbs. 09oz. Impressive. They planned it that way and did a cesarean section, and I bet they fudged the weight a little.

Totally understand the rooting for the Pats over Vrabel. I had chefs season tickets for 29 years - still had a hard time rooting for them over the Steelers.Bostondevil wrote:Go Pats!!!!!!! Son Andrew has decided to put the curse on Wes Welker this year though, he now owns a Wes Welker jersey. His previous jerseys were Ty Law - traded the next year and Bethel Johnson - traded the next year. Me? I have a Mike Vrabel jersey although the curse took 2 years with me. I'm still wearing it though, I love Mike Vrabel. I'll even root for the Chiefs because of Mike Vrabel. (Note to DinK, not against the Pats of course.)DukeUsul wrote:Eagles here, though, as long as Vick is there, I think I'll be rooting for my second hometown team, the Patriots.Turk wrote:BTW, you PW people are CRAZIE!!!![]()
Nice job, y'all!!
Sloppy Steelers game still tied at 7 late in 3Q. At least the Iron City is cold and refreshing... aaahhh...
Am I the only Steelers fan on CTN? There were enough over yonder to keep a Steelers thread from going completely comatose last season....

I really don't much like Climpsun.

My claim to fame: I got to meet Lynn Swann after the Steelers won their second Super Bowl. Spent about 3 hours visiting with him.
My father-in-law has a picture of himself between Lynn Swann and Terry Bradshaw. He's met both of them several times. Actually, I believe he's been out drinking with them.

BTW - Ms. FAMOUS, Lynn Swann? That must have been an INCREDIBLE experience, he was one of the all-time favorites of mine! He was absolutely AMAZING!!!! What did you all talk about and how did this opportunity present itself?

According to Wikipedia, which I know is not always correct, it's Patriots' Day, not Patriot's Day, that is in April. And according to Wikipedia, it moves around every year. Today is called PATRIOT DAY, as you pointed out. I agree that it's too close a word. We need something else. Besides, isn't Patriots Day whatever day they play the Super Bowl? ;)Bostondevil wrote:Sorry, it's not Patriot's Day, that's April 19th. Patriot's Day celebrates the start of the American Revolution. We currently celebrate is by running a really long race. The original plan was to set up the marathon to run from Concord to Boston, apeing the Brits, but the routes from Concord to Boston in 1896 were too convoluted to make for a good course, so the founders of the race followed the train/river west. And that's why the Boston Marathon starts in Hopkinton.
I think they are calling it Patriot Day but I'd prefer they come up with something else, Patriot's Day is taken.

He was in Korea on a USO Tour. Since my Mom was also a fan, she and I went to meet him. The first night he stayed out past curfew so we met a movie crew instead. The next night we met Lynn Swann and James Harris (QB for the Rams). I think we ended up visiting with Lynn for about 3 hours in the bar at the local R&R center for the military. I tried to talk him out of his first Super Bowl ring since he was getting another one. He didn't go for it but I did get to try it on.
Biggest disappoint for me was that Jack Lambert, my major crush, went to see the movie Tommy instead of hanging out with us.
I had a hard enough time figuring out how to get digital pictures posted so I'm not sure I can get non-digital ones posted. I don't remember the ring being too heavy but I could spin it around on my thumb.cl15876 wrote:Very cool!!!!! Bet that ring was heavy for your tiny fingers.

YOu are right. On my calendar for today, it is called "Patriots' day". Wonder which Patriot we're supposed to recognize? lolBostondevil wrote:Sorry, it's not Patriot's Day, that's April 19th. Patriot's Day celebrates the start of the American Revolution.
