 I have told this story several times but since you asked about Admirals, I can add this.

I had a very good friend who passed away a couple of years ago, who was on the USS Missouri when the Japanese surrendered. When he passed, he was one of 4 others who were still alive from that crew. He was a mar one who was assigned to the Missouri and all they did was train for the invasion of Japan.
So what about the Admiral? Since the Missouri was the flagship of the Pacific fleet, Admiral Halsey was its commander and was always on the ship. My friend used to relate stories to me about how Halsey used to come down and play volleyball with the crew. He always inquired about their families and, to my friend, just seemed like a general good guy. The crew loved him for that. They never knew about the bombs dropped on Japan, but at the end of a day in August 1945, Halsey came on the intercom and told all crew to wear their dress uniforms for the next day, they all knew something was up. When they saw McArthur land on the flight deck word was out that the Japanese were going to surrender.
The Missouri was the last ship to return to the USA, maybe 6 months after the war. It was the flagship and it made its way back visiting many other ports. Halsey always let the men have liberty when ver he was able to.

I can't speak of any military genius about him, but as a Admiral, he was well respected by his crew.

Hope the healing process goes well. 

So sorry, Rich. Sounds like a legal matter. Thank goodness it wasn't worse.

Get well Mighty

Although very preliminary and early in the process,  I'm going to venture 10-6 and the NFC East crown

All the NFC East teams are capable of that same result though.  Its always a horserace in our division.

We finally solved Philly last year, now have to tame Dallas.  WFT is an enigma

This is another good argument for automated braking on all new cars

I too was hit by a distracted driver from behind and got horrific whiplash and concussion.  The results were long lasting

these types of accidents can be eliminated but we are not there yet on the majority of cars on the road today

When people argue against automated cars, you know these types of accidents never happened to them or they have not really thought about it

Rich, sorry to hear this.  Hope you make a quick recovery.

What are you looking for?

Anything in particular you want to see?

For me I want them to immediately find 5 guys on the line and give them time to gel

Interested in who is getting reps behind Singletary

Who is getting reps at the wr spots

And how the back 7 is going to shake out

Nobody does the weather better than News channels in Latin countries.

Quote from: Gman329 on Today at 09:20:28 AMI generally agree with this but Jones would not have signed for $30M.  So would the Giants have maybe used the tag there, instead of on Barkely? 

Tag was definitely the way to go. Too bad Barkley rejected the deal they offered him in the middle of the season. I think if they were able to re-sign Barkley, then they would have used the franchise tag on Jones, but sadly it didn't go that way.

Rich,

I hope you heal fast; more importantly, I hope you're able to return to walking ASAP.  I know how much you value your daily constitutionals/exercise.  Keep us posted.
