You have to be sober to even try backing out a truck bed like that.
Like I've said 100x on here, God gives ppl talents that you have to
discover on your own in life by taking a few risks of breaking some bones.

My husband has a ramp 3x that size and I cringe everytime he backs out. I wouldn’t do it, made him back my bike out all the time lol

CTV would have never recruited Nico after meeting his loud, “show me the money”, overbearing Dad.

I respect your reasons for stepping away from the Gameday threads. I have noticed a few other regulars are less frequently there.

I just want to let you know I miss your insights over there during the games. That also applies to a few other rabid fans who have just grown weary of the knuckleheads.

Tuesdays used to be pretty safe, but even those are getting infiltrated now.

I guess it is the price of success, but it is enough to make this ole boy a little nostalgic for the days of, oh, 2022, before the "look at me, I am on a public message board and can say whatever I want!" crowd showed up on the regular.

Saddest part is that you, and others like you, have such great personal stories to share (like the one you said about Fisch in the OM gameday thread today.) It is a shame the Negas drive away those who share those kinds of stories - the ones that really still make you root for these kids, even in the NIL semi-professional days in which we now find ourselves.

Selfishness and Self-Absorption taking over a good thing and driving away so much of the positive; 'tis sad and a shame.

Very nice of you to say. I will be at most of the remaining games so wouldn’t be posting in gameday threads anyway. I’m a big fan of the OT Dugout so will continue to post in there. Overall the baseball forum is terrific but I personally can’t stand to hear people taking personal shots at players. They have no idea how hard these guys work on and off the field.

One thing a lot of the media members fail to mention is the fact Tennessee does not have a state income tax, which saves our athletes money. So that $2.4M he was earning here would be roughly $2.15M in Los Angeles. So if he is making $1.5-$1.75M in LA that is a HUGE drop. After state taxes that would be a net of roughly $1.3-$1.55M. So he’s going to end up taking a $1M pay cut to play for a worse program 🤣

Marginal tax rate for LA County is 48%. This move makes no $en$e.

But seriously, seeing the joy and laughter in her eyes is what makes that special.

That kid has better balance than I ever dreamed of having. Still wanted to tell her to ditch the croptop and put a real shirt on before she dumps and learns about road rash the hard way.

I know, I'm a killjoy 😁

Edit: I Googled Sarah Lezito. She knows exactly what the heck she is doing and I can just shush with my old codger admonitions.
