if his heirs were to put that ugly-ass, unseaworthy monstrosity up for sale, something tells me it would fetch a lot less.
Just call it an iYacht and you'll have people camping on the street for days to buy one.
The weight of NFL players has been increasing steadily.
Number of players over 300 lbs:
In 1970 - 1
In 1980 - 3
In 1990 - 94
In 2000 - 301
In 2009 - 394
See a trend here? It's also creating health issues for active players and retired players, and is causing a shorter lifespan. This isn't your grandfather's game of fast players with leather helmets and no padding. This is a game of fat men in hard plastic armor doing a lot of blocking.
It's simple physics. F = m * a. It's a lot easier for a players to increase their weight by 50%, than it is for them to increase their speed by 50%.
Regardless of a high brain injury risk, such sports will still be attractive because:
It's a chance for poorer students to get to college.
It's a highly publicized sport, with a large fan base.
Every player you see on the NFL field is a millionaire, and is semi-famous.

When the hell has integrity ever mattered in politics????
I've paid attention to what they've said and, in theory, that should be the same what they do.
If you compare what they've actually said, Obama and Romney look shockingly the same on MANY issues:
Romney Vs Obama - Same Issues, Same Answers!
So why would we expect progress?
Meet the new boss - same as the old boss
Meet the new boss

THIS is why we need to endorse a third party, and break the Republican/Democrat chain that has gone on since 1868... just after Abraham Lincoln.
Screw them BOTH, and vote Independent.
The other country has a dictator you despise? Don't mess there, it isn't your problem. It has a dictator you like who's going to be overthrown? Don't mess there, it isn't your problem. There are troops marching into your borders. Oh, now you go and mess there.
How hard can that be?
I'm all for letting countries stay to themselves, but why does a dictator need to step on your lawn before he gets a response? Didn't most of Europe take that stance during WWII?
Germany annexed Austria, violating the Treaty of Versailles and St. Germain
Germany invaded Czechoslovakia
Italy conquered Albania
Germany attacked Poland
A two-phase art competition?
>> the first phase will be about adding
>> the second phase
I'm seeing way too many similarities for comfort.
Senator Thomas J. Dodd Memorial Stadium is a minor league baseball stadium in Connecticut. It was named after a Senator who was censured in 1967 for converting campaign funds to his personal accounts and spending the money.
That's Christopher Dodd's father. And the memorial stadium was built in 1995 during Chris Dodd's tenure as a Senator. Senator Chris Dodd has had his share of scandals too.
Something about apples not falling too far from the tree comes to mind.
