Lucky's Bio

I am old school and love the history of sports. Go Tarheels, Redskins and Jeff Gordon. No more spoiled athletes, bloated contracts, air bag announcers and Bryant Gumbel doing football! I want a BCS playoff, a shorter NFL preseason and have no problem with the World Series played in 40 degree weather. Finally, the King of ALL Sporting Events is....March Madness!!

wow, well that article sure sparked a lot of discussions...I also feel you're a nice person but we just are very passionate when debating. It's cool; the whole name calling thing is forgotten. I can stand here and say that I've lost my head and resorted to things like that.

But I seriously would never kill a dog. I hope to get a border collie whenever I get settled in life, you know.

Vick was entirely wrong for what he did and I can't defend his stupidity in many of the things he has done: spending freely, the airport incident, Ron Mexico, middle fingers, etc.

Looking forward to future debates. Later.

Hey, just wanted to say I appreciate your perspective on the Vick article. There's some people on there who I wonder if they just like to rile up people behind their anonymous internet keyboards, or if they're truly moral scum. Your comments have made more sense than most ... I can't believe the debate has devolved into abortion, etc. Some people will just never get it, I guess.

I have only had one article that people really commented on. It seems the more controversial, the more people will read. Satire and opinion seem to stir up more than facts and stats.

Thanks for the comments on Namath. I respect fans who do not have an agenda.

Thanks for the fan vote and for the comments and compliments, they're truly appreciated. I look forward to talking sports with you anytime I respect your opinion.
