Conference 7.286::sports_91

    Damn, every year something turns up and I can't go to win what's
    rightfully mine.  Got my freakin' Physics final that night...
    
    Hawk, 3 point master
    

    I'll have to see... although I'm sure I'd throw up more bricks than
    it takes to build the Washington Monument....

    
    What day?
    

    When was the last time a Cleveland fan read a title of a note?
    

    
    Okay, call me stupid... after I replied and continued reading the
    notes, I figured the date was probably in the title.

    Uh, that's too easy....
    
    
    
    Nah.. stupid...

    Brain surgeon ...
    
    
    NOT !!!!!!!!

    I think we've beaten this one to death...

    Ignore Doc, he must be a puppet...

    My first note in this topic had no malicious intent and should not be
    perceived that way in any shape or form...
    

    
    
    This is the perfect chance for Doc to show up and show his stuff...
    He has the opportunity to face the iceMAN in the 3-pt shoot out
    for the third time and have a little 1-1 hoop game afterwards.

At that time, we will go over the rules, collect sponsor sheets, collect the

begin promptly at 6 p.m.  Directions follow:

    Nashoba Regional High is on rte 117 in Bolton, Mass. @ 2-3 miles from
    the 495 junction.  If coming from the North (Littleton/Nashua) on 495 you 
    would take a left off the Rte 117 exit, from the south (Hudson/Marlboro) 
    you would take a right. Go through the center of town (blinking light) and 
    it will be about two miles on the right hand side of the road.  There 
    is a sandwich shop across the street ("Mike's") from the gym.

>    Ignore Doc, he must be a puppet...
    
    Yeah, but it beats being a dummy ! 

    I didn't see any strings on the gridiron. 8*)
    
    See Doc I came to your defense!!
    
    I'll take Gronowski in the 1 on 1 contest though.
    
    I'm thinking of doing the 3 point contest as I was 4-10 from the
    stripe this season. 8*)  
    
    Jimbo

    Thanks Jimbo, but my ankle felt like Charlie McCarthy ! :-)
    
    As for 1-1, all I'll say is that I've shown up, unlike some people in
    the bottom of the 6th inning ... or in football ....

    
    
    re: .15
    
    What are you saying, you'll be there and ready for the 1-1?
    
    

    Hey.. I'll donate 2 dollars to this event if Doc and Gronowski
    play 1-1 until one gets 15 points... Any one else wish to
    contribute to this?
    
    REK

    I might contribute if they promise to stop bringing this stuff up in
    here.

    Mac, it has stayed a dead issue. "Note" .11 triggered it.
    
    Moreover, I said last week in this conference (see note to Dee
    Anderson - NBA Note ?) that I'd be in NYC the entire week - something
    that Mr Gronowski was probably well aware of when he "issued" his
    "challenge".
    
    Fellows, I could point out how the man ducks and slithers away from
    real issues, but my time is too valuable. 
    
    Ciao.

    Any results from this?
