  1. I don't know. Merloni says that Nomar wants to play this year. I provided a link in my previous post so you can see his debut.
  2. Nomar made his TV debut a couple of days ago. He was asked to make an assessment of the Dodgers. He responded with some benign dribble. But he seemed comfortable. Predictably Ordway and the Big Show were all over it criticizing Nomar for joining the media when he spent his career being aloof and unfriendly with sports journalists. http://boston.barstoolsports.com/random-thoughts/nomar-kills-in-his-espn-debut/
  3. While I've never experienced luge, I was hooked on physical speed earlier in my life. I can understand the "need" to luge. Big time rush and personal challenge. 21 is too young to buy it though. But that is a chance he was willing to take. Let's hope no one else looses their life during the Olympics.
  4. Hmmmn. I have no desire to sound like a know it all here but. The turns do not seem to be the problem on this course. Please notice that the turns are "over banked", making any exit from the course unlikely. The problem is the speed carried into the turns. They are higher than what most of the competitors are accustomed too. The result is "over cooking the turn". This results in some cases in exiting the turn "out of shape". The area coming out of these turns are where problems will occur. Watching the video will confirm this. As the competitor exits the turn is out of control, a physical barrier keeping the athlete within the course should be present. Ice will allow the athlete to slide to relative safety. Leaving the course exposing the athlete to comparatively less harm. Broken bones and concussion. Someone goofed here. And it has cost a life. If I were in charge, I'd retrofit the course with barriers that would minimize the eventuality of a competitor leaving the course.
  5. WCVB 5 showed a shot of MDC throwing long toss last night. I have experienced a metabolic change! "That said", I've never f***ed my Mother.
  6. Ok. He has the most attractive girlfriend of members that have posted pictures of their girlfriends. Just my opinion.
  7. :lol::lol: You still have the hottest girlfriend on Talksox!
  8. I've just watched a report by NBC on the subject. It's accepted that only the 1st 12 luggers in the world can most likely navigate the fastest track in the world. It's 13 on down that are risk. WTF! Someone has the bright idea of putting padding on the columns. Sure. This is sort of like pulling out to avoid pregnancy. That will work! The course has been open for two years and many experienced people have crashed, HARD. No one is experienced with these speeds and G Forces. Duh! Bob Sleds and Skeleton participants have yet to "hit' the course. Time to erect containment barriers. Even it it's just plywood. Dumb f***s.
  9. You Sir, are truly talented.
  10. Lol. Get off your ass and contribute! Welcome to Talksox!
  11. Video won't load. If it's the animation, it's been posted before. Great story, though.
  12. Yeah, good point.
  13. The video is no longer available but from what I saw of the pics it's just gruesome. Nothing can be said except that the guy died doing what he was passionate about. I've crashed several times at above 60 mph and am very fortunate to still be here. 90 mph is a completely different ballgame. I hope Geogia does not pull out. R.I.P.
  14. Pedroia could beat him tabble tennis.
  15. :lol::lol::lol:
  16. You're not alone. He must do it because he knows it's irritating for others to read. Or he's just f***ing stupid.
