Frustrated Collector...



LAWRENCE TAYLOR





He was released as part of NFL Legends series 1 along with:

• BARRY SANDERS
• JOHN ELWAY
• JOHNNY UNITAS
• FRANCO HARRIS
• TROY AIKMAN
  

I ordered it back in August from Toys R Us, knowing it wouldn't be released till now in October. In my weekly hunts checking for other collectibles at Toys R Us and Kay Bee Toys I noticed that the NFL Legends series has been released. I was like kool, noiw I can get my LT. So I go tback online to check the status of my order and I see that i have the LT with the White jersy(a variant) which triples the price upon me getting it. w0000-hoooo, but I also see in red No longer available!... Hold up! wtf! i didnt even get mine yet and its not even shipped either. Every where i have check'd there after i have not seen the LT collectible in this series. All the ones i can careless to have i find in the 3 surrounding Toys R Us's in my area.

I went online last nite to check a few other sites i know carry the collectibles and notice that they want $50 dollars for the regular blue jersey one or they are SOLD OUT!! My plea to my readers if you happen to come across this, if you have started ( Christmas shopping ) like i have; come across a LT in the your area Toys R Us or KayBee Toys and pick it up for me i'll trade (if a XBLF or XNC or GTDB member or Xbox Live in gerneral) a Xbox 360 game of choice for it. Anybody else i'll figure something out after confirmation you found it. Now i can get it on eBay at a stupid high price, I'll resort to the Toy stores first. Then after Christmass if i'm really desperate for it, i 'll go the eBay route.

I'm going to NYC this weekend, maybe i can get PEZinvaders to take me to a Toys R Us in the city. Stay tuned, later today i'm doing another flash back friday picture from Iraq. Thanks in Advance for anyone who'll happen to help a Gunner out!

Mariano Rivera

Mariano Rivera wins 2005 "DHL Presents the Major League Baseball Delivery Man of the Year Award"

from MLB.com
Award recognizes the most outstanding relief pitcher of the season Mariano Rivera of the New York Yankees has been named the inaugural recipient of the "DHL Presents the Major League Baseball Delivery Man of the Year Award" as the result of fan balloting on MLB.com, it was announced today. Throughout the voting process, Major League Baseball fans cast nearly 125,000 votes for the award on the official Web site of Major League Baseball.

This season, Rivera, who received 39,964 votes, accounting for 33 percent of the overall vote, helped the Yankees win their eighth consecutive AL East division title by saving 43 games in 47 opportunities. He finished with a 1.38 ERA, striking out 80 batters over 78.1 innings pitched while only allowing 50 hits. After he blew his second save of the season in early April, the right-hander went on to convert 31 consecutive save opportunities from April 9 through August 11. His 43 saves tied him for fourth overall in the Majors for the season.

Rivera's 379 saves are the most ever in the American League and puts him fifth on the all-time list. A member of four World Series champion teams with the Yankees, the 1999 World Series MVP has recorded 33 saves in October which is the highest in postseason history. The seven-time All-Star has led the AL in saves in three different seasons including 1999, 2001 and 2004.
In recognition of this honor, DHL will donate $5,000 to a local chapter of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the official charity of Major League Baseball, in Mariano Rivera's name. In addition, Rivera will be recognized in a special advertisement appearing tomorrow, October 14, in USA Today.

To create the ballot, an initial list of 15 relievers that had outstanding seasons was compiled by the editorial board of MLB.com. The 10 finalists were chosen from this list of nominees by a special Major League Baseball "yellow-ribbon" panel that consists of Hall of Fame pitcher Dennis Eckersley; Darryl Hamilton, former Major League outfielder and MLB Radio Host; Jerome Holtzman, the official MLB Historian and a member of the writer's wing of the Hall of Fame; Rick Sutcliffe, 1984 NL Cy Young Award winner, ESPN and MLB International broadcaster; and Bob Watson, Vice President, On-Field Operations, Major League Baseball.

Throughout the 2005 season, this "yellow-ribbon" panel selected the relief pitcher who gave each month's most dominant performance for his respective Major League Baseball Club. The 2005 winners of the "DHL Presents the Major League Baseball Delivery Man of the Month Award" include Jose Mesa (April), Trevor Hoffman (May), Chad Cordero (June), Brad Lidge (July), Todd Jones (August) and Ryan Dempster (September).

To further engage fans in the selection process, DHL introduced an online sweepstakes in conjunction with the "DHL Presents the Major League Baseball Delivery Man of the Year Award." As part of the program, DHL will award one lucky fan with a trip for two to game four of the 2005 World Series.

Got an email from my friend CJ...

To My Friend, Mel

Today is the international day for the mentally disabled. I thought i'd send an encouraging message to mamentally retarded friend-Coco. Just thought I'd let your retarded ass know I don't mind being friends with you. I don't care if you lick windows (Sand was everywhere i couldnt see) or even if you wear a football helmet to work (I had to wear that Kevlar backwards.. sometimes.., right wild turkey!). It doesn't bother me that you wear your underwear on the outside of your pants (power was out and i couldnt see in the dark, they were clean tho!). All I ask is that when we go to the club, you drive so we can park up front (we be clubbin). You hang in there because you are doing great! You are special, so keep trying! Have a great day!

Your friend Always, CJ

You rock CJ, miss you hommie... Water Head
















Cj if your not going to eat that can i have it?

My former boss.... WOW!!

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in an accident."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks..........''How many is a Brazillion?"
