the official OBS diesel off topic thread
Thanks guys! Phil he just went to the Dr on Monday and he's 16.5lbs and 25" long. He's a big boy!
My beloved Buckeyes pulled it off! Undisputed Champs! I'm a little biased when it comes to football. Originally I'm from NE Ohio and moved to Columbus at the age of 9. Both places treat football like a religion. I grew up about 10 min from The Ohio State University and it's imposible to not be a fan. I've been to more games than I can recall and had an 8 year run of attending every home game. Not to mention the entire reason we moved here was so my Dad could get his Masters Degree from OSU.
I'm a pro guy as well. I also see it differently. I'm never going to say these guys are over payed. Would YOU turn down more money or not try to make as much as possible from your employer? The amount of money the NFL generates is ridiculous. These guys make a small portion of that. Not to mention the average career span for a player is 3-5 yrs. Do they have some primadonnas and bad eggs? Of course, but I'll bet most of us have worked with or know someone that fits that bill. Players just have that much more publicized. A lot of guys are very active in the community with donating time and money. Most of that stuff isn't publicized as it's not "buzz" worthy. To each his own and I'm by no means trying to " sell" the NFL, I don't need to. I personally feel that most guys hear the stuff in the news and say yep, that's how it is.
All that being said, I don't think I watched more than a couple NFL games this year. Lol. I did make time for the Bucks though.

Cable companies have tried to sell me cable tv but I tell them that they do not have a long enough cable to get me service in my camper. Yes, its expensive but my internet in the camper will not support Netflix or the others. With dishnetwork I can change local stations where ever I'm at. The KOA in Newport, TN said site 25 was satellite friendly, we shall see!
We are in Vegas for a few days, wish me luck! LOL
I was for the Bucks because, for one reason, my father went there! He would take me to games as a kid and I would be for Michigan and he was for OSU. LOL

I, for the same reasons previously mentioned, only watch college FB. I can't stand the NFL for the egos, and all of the other crap. BUT, I also don't spend hours in front of the TV watching them either. Only A&M or TCU will get that from me. At hat point, I get a Banquet Coors, my iPhun, and just relax and enjoy in the evening. My life is entirely too busy with ranching and school duties to enjoy them mid day.

Hey fellas. Haven't been on here in a few days. Been really busy. I don't watch any sports at all other than some motor sports. Used to love Nascar, but it became a dog and pony show, so I haven't kept up with that for years. I like truck pulls, drag racing, rock crawling, etc..., that's about it for sports for me. If football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and every other sport was removed from TV, I wouldn't know it until someone told me.
