Stranded historical figure...

I enjoyed talking about something frivolous and fun yesterday, great idea df2144. So I'm going to keep it going today with another stranded question.

If you were stranded on an island with one famous person from history, who would it be?

I would probably go with Grace Kelly. I don't need to explain myself. ;)

If my wife objects to Ms. Kelly I will go with a monk from the 5th century named Bodhidharma.

ELITE 11: THOMPSON NAMED ALPHA DOG

From 24/7:

ALPHA DOG: TY THOMPSON, OREGON COMMIT
If there’s one quarterback that’s a lock to move up in the rankings based on his performance, it’s Ty Thompson. The big arm out of Gilbert (Az.) Mesquite had one of the more impressive pro days on Tuesday night as he was able to drive the ball into a headwind and make a number of throws most college quarterbacks can't make. That's after a solid opening session on Monday. The nation's No. 7 ranked pro-style quarterback is the type of prospect that seems to be getting better and better each time we see him. He is committed to Mario Cristobal and the Ducks.

and Oregon Live:

On Wednesday, 247Sports announced its final rankings for the three-day camp and named Thompson the “Alpha Dog,” given to the top overall performer.

Note to Dan o pdx

They locked my thread up ( big surprise), but when someone blatantly lies, I have to respond. No where did I specify, anything about " black" athletes and entertainers. As a matter of fact, its athletes and entertainers of all races. Nor did I say anything about anyone " not having a voice". Shutting down speech is your thing, not mine.

Next time you read one of my posts, get a friend or relative to explain what I wrote

  • Locked
Sports stars who lecture the little people ( sports related)

What is it that sports stars, coaches, actors, famous musicians all have in common. Guys like Lebron ,Terry Stotts, Greg Popovich etc,etc. To a lessor degree, tenured professors, athletes who are not multi millionaires, but made a lot of Dennis Dixon, and Anthony Newman, etc. Here is my list

1) 95% or more are Democrats

2) All multi -millionaires

3) Most, maybe outside of summer jobs as kids, have never worked a day in their life

4) Most on board with the BLM/Antifa, marxist, anti-capitalist, revolution

5) All became rich BECAUSE of the very system they claim is "systemically" racist

6) All spoiled, entitled, little brats

I did an appraisal today at the beach and met a woman in her late 60's. Her home was filled with pictures of her father, who recently died and was one of the last Pearl harbor survivors. I stayed an hour talking to her. She showed me a newspaper clip from the 40's talking about several close calls her father had fighting in Guadalcanal and other Pacific battles. In one instance a "jap" soldier jumped out of a foxhole and shot at him from 10' away and somehow he missed. He had several close calls.He killed several enemy soldiers. I wonder if afterwords, he sat down to ponder how offended he was because of a name of a football rivalry? I thought to myself that the most important thing in today's world , would not be that fact that this man was a hero and risked his life for his country. If there was a statue of him today, it would not matter that without men like him , and the thousands who died, none of the above mentioned men, black or white, would have been free to make those millions. No, the statue would be torn down because a "racist" word, was used to describe a Japanese soldier.

Its so easy for the elite to join the thugs. If the thugs win Terry Stotts will still be mega- rich. Lebron James will still make his way through life never having had to worry about paying his rent. They don't care if police are de-funded. They can hire their own private security. Famous actors live behind gated communities. None of them are effected in any way

Reclassified 2020 PF Lists UO as Finalist

Corey seems to think SC and UO have to be considered as best west coast bets. He wants to play cbb 2 years instead of hs 1 more and cbb 1. May be another unexpected surprise. I wonder if AZ will finally miss on some kids due to ncaa heat. For whatever reason, Corey doesnt seem to think AZ.
