    For those that post regularly in this thread know I'm a Bears guy. For other Bears fans keep an eye on Jacob Eason. Our GM Ryan Pace as most know has a don't talk about us in public before draft philosophy with players they have an interest in. Eason gave a sort of uncomfortable answer yesterday about Bears that suggests he maybe met privately with them already here in Indy. Something to consider and think on. 

    Pace said yesterday that Trubisky was the starter next year and that he had confidence in him...

    Don't know what to think at this point, but I'd say creating real competition for Mitch is a really good thing...one way or the other...

    I have one for you. What was the only NBA team to win a championship while having both guards averaging over 25 points a game?

    Name them. I dont think either LED their team in scoring. 

    For clarification, did they average 25 per over the course of the season? Or just in the finals?

    Whoever it is has to have played both for the Yankees and the Red Sox at some point in time.

    That is true, but the 2 teams he's mainly known for are in the AL Central (beginning of his career) and NL West (end of career)...

    And he's still involved in MLB, but not as a manager or coach

    Hmmmm...dang good one young man.  I am lost on the MLB(so far).  Now the future HoF running back and the lacrosse narrows it down for me on that one.  Syracuse?  Jim Brown...before my time, but Dad told me he was great at everything he did.  So I will guess him for that side still thinking about the MLB side now.

    That's correct. Jim Brown, who as much as I love Walter Payton, IS the greatest running back of all time,  averaged 38 pts per in 1952. 

    To me, he's the greatest athlete ever...I read where the first time he picked up a bowling ball, he bowled an over 200 game.

    Hmmmm....The Reds had a couple of fine players that were HS Basketball stand-outs...Don Gullett and Eric Davis.  

    No, neither of those, but the baseball player did play a year each for the teams the Reds defeated in the 75 and 76 World Series...

    Edit: that's a bad hint. He played a year for those 2 teams, just not during 75 and 76. 

    And the football player is also widely acknowledged as the greatest Lacrosse player ever...

    I have really kind of side stepped what I was trying to say.  My "Perry Mason" theory...Dan took the job without the General's consent at BG.  Thus it alienated Dan from Bobby and his "loyal" former players etc.  Then, for whatever reason, Sampson gets him back on the IU staff.  Sampson gets terminated and the alienation from RMK comes back to bite him the arsz just like a bad case of Jakich.

    Book 'em Danno!

    Perry Mason and Hawaii 5-O in the same post...I'm impressed!

    Southern states/cities just aren't equipped with snow/ice removal equipment.  Went to Arkansas quite a few years back where a "blizzard" crippled the state.  They got 4" of snow dumped on them.

    Lol, ain't that the truth...our 2nd year down here in Texas there was a "threat" of snow...I drove into work about 6 am, and it hadn't snowed a flake...so I called my daughter who had an 8 am college class that morning and told her no worries..."They've already cancelled classes for the day, Dad."

    Still can't tell if it was pilot error or mechanical problems.  May never know. 

    The pilot requested and received a "Special VFR" clearance (not uncommon, especially for helicopters, but ATC cannot offer it. Must be requested by the pilot). The pilot never filed a flight plan, so he was intending to go Visual Flight Rules (VFR) weather permitting, even though he was Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) qualified. Visibility conditions at the airport were less than the 3 mile requirement for VFR ops, so he requested the Special VFR clearance (1 mile visibility required).

    At this point, I think he got a tad disoriented in the fog and over taxed the aircraft trying to get above the fog.

    Within a mile of my house. Here in Denver.  We have a Taco Bell, and a Torchy's.  And like you have several local places. Just this morning, I drove to a local. For a giant breakfast burrito.... that they call "The Denver".  Used to be able to eat one at one sitting.  Today, left half for tomorrow morning.   Been in Austin. Can agree that they have some great Mexican places to go to.

    Love Torchys...Trailer Park Hillbilly style is the go to...

    This is dated from when I heard it...so I don't know if it is correct anymore.  I am guessing I heard it about 10 years ago.  

    There have only been 3 basketball players that have won a high school state championship, a NCAA championship, a NBA championship, and an Olympic Gold.

     

    Off the top of my head, Jerry Lucas and Magic...
