How about nominating NYCeagle since he's still grinning after St Joes knocked off Xavier last night.

And let's not forget our amiable host Mr. S.F. Phillyfan who has yet to share his rags-to-riches-back to rags-back to riches story with us.

Didn't realize surfing porn was called "on the phone trying to figure out a money issue" these days.

Re: OT:All Right I'm Calling you all out, one by one 1st MD!

Ok, here we go......

I was born March 31st, 1973 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Lived in Philly on and off until I was 9. We moved back and forth between Philadelphia and Hobe Sound, Florida because of my parents work. Moved back to Philly for the last time right before the Eagles played in their first SB. When we moved back the place where my parents worked( they both were in charge of running a factory) shut down suddenly which really screwed us up in a BAD way. Due to the stress of what was happening my parents got divorced and my Mom, and 3 kids had to go live at the Salvation Army for a few months until we could get back on our feet. My Dad went to the booze.

Well as time went on we got back on our feet and in a weird twist of fate my parents got back together again. At the end of 1982 they decided that they couldn't make it in Philadelphia anymore and we moved across country to San Bernardino, California where one of my sisters lived. On our way out we had a layover in Las Vegas and my Mom LOVED it. So after a year and a half in California we moved to Vegas in 84.

I have lived in Vegas since except for one year back in 1991 where I moved to Eugene, Oregon. Came back from Oregon and played football four years at UNLV. Left UNLV and took a job at a Sportsbook. Worked for 10 years from 95 until 05. Quit because I got tired of the casino bullcrap. When you work at a job like that nothing in your life is personal. Hell it still isn't.

Met my wife in 1998. Actually met her by accident. I was doing book business online with a client when she popped into the chat room we were doing business in. My work wanted me to check her out and make sure no funny business was going on. It turned out that she was a friend of the wife of the guy I was doing business with and just came on at the wrong time. She was on another PC hooked up in the house and somehow things went a bit wacky and she wound up in the same room we were in.

After talking with her on the phone for a while trying to appease my bosses I realized she was pretty cool. We started chatting more and more and I started to realize that I wanted to meet her. So she came out to Vegas in 98 to meet me and she never moved back to Pittsburgh. Which in turn royally pissed her family off. My hatred of PGH comes from them. We were married in 2002. Neither of us have kids and I doubt we ever will.

Was scheduled to go back to school in Sept but alas, it wasn't meant to be. I was walking my wife to her job(we live right up the street from it she runs the kennel at a Vet clinic)and just dropped her off and I was hit by a car. Fractured a vertebrate, herniated 2 discs, and did joint damage in my lower back. I am just now getting back on my feet and I'm not too sure if my back will ever be the same again. At least I can walk though. School will have to wait until Sept again if I am able to.

LOVE the Eagles and like the Flyers and Sixers. I really, really hate the Phillies. I don't like baseball anyway but the Phillies approach Steelers hate for me.

I think that's pretty much it. I think I am going to be a pig and call out Vin, Kcas and nyc_eagle. Sorry, couldn't pick just one.


This is the edited part:

Just to clarify something for everyone, my hatred of the Phillies comes from management and not the players. I don't hate the players at all. I used to LOVE the Phillies but year after year of mgt not going the extra mile turned me. For a while it seemed that they didn't care if we won or lost. I can deal with losing but can't deal with the not giving 100% part.

I just had to clarify so people don't think I have some irrational hatred for the players. I don't really. Utley and Howard are some pretty stands up guys as far as I am concerned it's just the upper level that gets me.

Blitz,, my guess is that about 85% (if not more) people feel the same way about the ownership of the Phils, but I also think there are many many many passionate baseball fans that only look to the field now and not the FO when trying to root for the team.

We all loved the Carpenters I think, but there has been nothing to love about the FO of this team since they sold, but I love Baseball, and i will always root for the Phils, sometimes I agree that my interest wains, as between 95 and 04 -- but I still love Baseball and my Phils.

Vin is still on the clock..............
