Interesting that he wants to play both baseball & football professionally. This hasn't been done successfully since Deion's salad days.

Wonder if this will impact where he goes in the NFL draft. Article hints he currently is valued as potential 1st rounder. Worries about two-sports could push him into second or lower.

Charlie--

Thanks for encouraging Jeff and Tom to pursue other sports! It fits right into those plans we discussed last year.

P.S. Your Patriots-branded Kool-Aid dispenser should be arriving in the next few weeks, as soon as we can ramp up production to get enough additional Kool-Aid for your team, Urban's, and Pat's. . . .

I'm glad he still wants to play football. That kid's hands are so soft they make baby bottoms feel like sandpaper.

Nothing new here. Each year there are always players in the draft the have the BB? by their names.

Our own drafted kicker was one of them. Some, even sign baseball contracts while still in college and playing football. Most of them, if they are projected to be day one picks, will dump baseball.

Let's not forget that our own Mr. Brady was drafted by a BB team. He didn't sign a contract which makes this a little different but not much.

No, it's OK. You see, it has football-related content. F-o-o-t-b-a-l-l, as in "football forum." Keep trying. You've shown signs lately of picking up on this concept.

In what way? Politics? You're right, I have jumped on people for that. And, I won't anymore because I've decided that if Ian didn't care, why should I.

Other than that, show me where I've told people not to post certain things. Don't even have to show me, just tell me.
