that's something you'll notice amongst a specific (and vocal)
crowd; they don't mind the noise of their own much louder
lawn mower, but complain at the slightest aircraft noise;

heck, some of the idiots even complain about noise from
aircraft that didn't even fly (KBED reportedly received noise
complaints following the scheduled take-off time of a 707, but
the airplane didn't actually fly that day).

OK then. how 'bout the guy who posted the concert schedule at the former
Megis Field? I think he is a contender.

Nah, Jay Honeck and Larry Dighera's political ruminations have set off
bigger ****ing matches than Oktoberfest in Munich. You guys are
lightweights.

The same goes for the NBA

Judging from the past couple of Olympics I'm not sure a really good
European team couldn't beat our hothouse orchids.

Look back at the year we sent our really GOOD NBA players. And that was
basicly a pick-up team. Take one of the teams any any of the big three
sports that has been playing an practicing together all year and many the
foreign ass will be waxed.

What year was that, 1992? The quality of the game has gone down a lot
and the ferners are doing a much better job of finding big guys so it's
not like we could depend on overpowering them.

As for baseball, we could smash Japan like Godzilla for the most part,
but Cuba and the DR already account for what, 1/4 of our MLB players?
They could definitely field excellent teams if they weren't all playing
here. Just wait until Fidel croaks and we have an MLB franchise in
Havana.

Football is a bad example because it's really only played here. It will
be interesting to see whether US soccer really starts to crank
internationally as it becomes the sport more and more people grew up
with. Now that will be some great jingoistic mayhem when that happens.

Or Japan, from what I've read.

If Japan's baseball was that good, there would be more than a few Japanese
players here.

You're giving skiers a bad name, skylune.

People become expert pilots for the same reasons they become expert skiers:
for the sense of accomplishment, mastery, and thrill.

Come find me at the Beav and I'll show you the way down Ripsaw.

Anyway, you make too much noise.

Hi Ice. I noticed the wonderful reception you got here when you talked
about starting training. Best of luck!! But, decide first if you really
have the time to devote -- flying just isn't for amateurs -- and what u
wanna do with your ticket. If its just to fly around looking for spots to
eat and refuel, I think its weird, but to each her own! Just please don't
wake up the whole damned neighborhood while your getting your kicks.

My sports: amateur mogul skiing comps, some NASTAR, tennis, mountain
biking. (I wonder why anyone who has had the experience of carving a
perfect turn, or cutting the line thru the bumps right down the fall line,
wouldn't immediately decide that nothing else in the world could possibly
top this, especially something passive that requires use of an engine.
Ski areas bring enormous economnic benefits to areas in which they are
located. I believe my season passes s/b govt. subsidized. ;-) )

Blimey, your a charmer aren't you, what sports would they be?

I would not nominate "Skyloon" for "Troll of the Year."

I would, however, nominate him for Chief Fig plucker. He is, after all,
the Fig Plucker's son, and, he has been plucking figs ever since the Fig
Plucker left town.

I would nominate some of the raghead apologists in other newsgroups for
"Troll of the Year."

You have a problem with the Special Olympics?

Just hope that you are never a competitor.

I humbly nominate myself, and I thank you for your consideration.

Kind of like winning first place at the special olympics.

Do you think there is another US rules football team that could beat the
Superbowl winner any given year. If the worst team in the NFL were
matched against the best team any other league or nation could field I'd
lay my money on the NFL team.


College All-Stars game played in Chicago, to start the season, up until 1976
(today it's the Hall of Fame pre-season game)

All-Stars won 9 of those games (1 in 4 ...CAS get the tie) against the past
year's NFL Champs. g

(From the web)
Arch Ward - 1975 - Arch Ward, a promoter and Chicago Tribune editor, won the
award for coming up with the annual College All-Star game, an event that
matched the previous year's NFL Champs with the previous year's college
all-stars. The first CASG was played in 1934, and ended in a 0-0 tie with
the Chicago Bears. This series lasted until 1976 with the Pittsburgh
Steelers defeated the all-stars 24-0. All told, the college kids did not
fare well against the NFL Champion squads as they went a combined 9-32-1.

(Also from the web)
College All-Star Football Game
Initiated in 1934 by Arch Ward of the Chicago Tribune, the College All-Star
Game football series was played annually in Chicago through 1976. Soon
achieving status as the official opening of each football season, the game
placed Chicago in the national sporting limelight each year as hundreds of
newspaper writers from around the country attended.

Matching a team of graduated All-American players from the previous season
against the defending National Football League professional champion, the
games were all played at Soldier Field—except for two games held at
Northwestern. During its lifetime the series raised approximately $4 million
for various Chicago-area charities. --Raymond Schmidt
