I’m with Roland – pro football has become a sport of “all about me” and there seems to be way too much money in all pro sports. Greg Oden has made 13 million dollars for 82 games with the Trail Blazers and he’s out for this season before ever taking the floor. Brendan Roy has an 80 million dollar contract with four more years and is questionable for the rest of this season. I dunno – seems like an awful lot of money yet there are those who pay $1,100 for courtside to watch Kobe Bryant play..

I do enjoy college football as these boys really play with heart and soul fully aware that most will never be given an opportunity to go on to pro ball. When I watch the Rogers brothers play for Oregon State it renews my faith about kids still being able to really work hard and embrace values that will last them for a life time. I know there are problems at the college level as well, but I certainly find college ball a lot more enjoyable and with Oregon being the number one team in the country everyone here has become a Duck fan!

Long term – I’m still stickin’ with the cars – maybe because it’s a sport that we can all enjoy regardless of our natural physical abilities. Just look at this site – we’ve got everything from $100K ultra show cars to thousand dollar rats. We’ve got young people all the way to octogenarians that contribute. We’ve got regular guys and beautiful gals (that would be you, Barb) and we all enjoy our rides and look forward to the next time we can work on them. I get excited every time I get to pop a hood and see what someone’s runnin’ – be it a big block crate or a four banger with dual Webers. I’m looking forward to someday visiting Pat and just looking at his handiwork as I consider him to be in the same league as Smokey or Al Unser or Big Daddy Don. If it has to do with cars its all good…..

My vote is hot roddin’ hands down….
