  1. Yes and he wasn't even good then, IIRC, he had no college offers to play/wasn't drafted. Scouts who watched Tebow at Nease High in 2005 share their recollections through a time-induced haze. Tampa Bay Rays special assistant Bobby Heck was working as an East Coast supervisor for the Milwaukee Brewers when he scouted Tebow in suburban Jacksonville. "I saw enough to know he was a 'follow' of some sort for the next year just due to his size, strength and athleticism,'' Heck said in a text message. "He looked like a football player trying to play baseball, but he would have been scouted like a real prospect as a senior if he had played and not enrolled early at Florida.''
  2. I would blame most of that on the Red Sox rather than the Twins. I could see how you would think that. But I know for a fact tickets from Minneapolis/St Paul to Ft Myers go up because of the Twins.
  3. This would be perfect if they move to Florida. My wife's grandfather lives in Ft Myers from Fall to Spring. One of his three rental property's are open during that time so I would have a free place to stay plus use of a car. The only bad thing is the prices to that area get jacked up during Spring Training because the Minnesota Twins play down there.
  4. I, from Kenosha, WI lived here unti I was 13 and then moved to Minnesota. I have always been a lifelong Cubs, Bears and Bulls fan.
  5. We have always been told the reason our beloved Cubs haven’t won a World Series is because of the Curse of the Billy Goat. Well I have been doing some thinking and the real reason is the curse of Wrigley Field. The Cubs have not won a World Series since they have moved to The Friendly Confines. So maybe it is time that the Cubs build a new stadium to get rid of this curse. :lol:
  6. Maria Kanelis who now works for WWF. She won some contest and now works for them. I know her and talk to her a few times a year. She is from Ottawa, IL where I live and she is smoking. She won that contest and the WWE kept her around. She didn't win the Diva Search contest. That was won by Ashley Massaro that year. Maria finished 3rd or 4th.
  7. He also has time on his side he can wait for the right job to come along. Because the Marlins have to pay him for 2 more years as long as he doesn't take job with another team and he can work in the booth at the same time.
  8. I lived in Charlotte for a couple of years. The fans there didn't have any problem with the Hornets, it was all about their owner. If he would have sold the team, they would have flourished there. It's true that North Carolina has a lot of Braves fans. But it was also true that NC had a lot of Falcons fans before the Panthers came into being, and that didn't seem to hurt the Panthers any. I truly believe that the Charlotte area could support MLB, and better than Miami did, at that. edit: and I sure would love to go back to Charlotte once a year to see the CUBS play !!! things to consider in the 01-02 season the hornets had an average attendance of 11,286 the league average was 16,778. the hornets came in second in their division. not very good attendance #'s for a team that actually competed now consider that NC is a huge basketball state the panthers were new when the falcolns just sucked and the panthers charged out of the gate...easy to switch teams in that scenero, but the braves, who's fans need to be won over to make charolette baseball viable, are perenial winners where as the marlins are...gutted...i dont see the city embracing a loseing team in place of the braves. again remember basketball is first in ppls hearts here as much as i would like to see it happen and work, and yes i would love to have an easy 2 hour drive to see the cubs once a year, i just dont see it working out But you forget why they had low attendance. The main reason was people stopped going to games after the owner got busted for child porn and he refused to sell the team. That had a major impact on attendance.
  9. They got this idea from the reality show Inked. It's about a tattoo parlor in Las Vegas. The co-owner of the tattoo parlor. told one of the guy that worked there if he drank a gallon of milk in an hour. But he had to keep it down. If he did it he would give him a $1000. He did it in 10 minutes but threw up about 20 minutes later.
