    John Hendry
    
    Principal Information Systems Specialist, Customer Services Warehouse,
    Westboro (moving to MRO1 in February).  Resident of Clinton.
    
    Avid Supporter:  The New England Patriots (it's not just an adventure,
    it's a job), The University of Massachusetts, St John's Prep (Danvers)
    and Syracuse University football (as long as Coach Mac Pherson is
    there).  Have a strong enjoyment for reading, the music of the Gershwin
    Brothers, the late/great Sarah Vaughan, Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller.
    
    Strong Supporter:  The Boston Bruins, The Boston Celtics, The Boston
    Red Sox, college hockey in general.  The only other team I really like
    is the Chicago Black Hawks, and that's mostly because of their uniforms
    (my favorite in all sports) and their arena and fans.  Enjoy the works
    of people like Bill James and Pete Palmer but never forget the games
    are more important than the numbers and realize there are things that
    can never be proven; yet at the same time I realize that these works
    have a lot of value and have helped focus and sharpen thinking about
    sports.
    
    Lukewarm/Indifferent:  Ratholes about the relative merits of college
    basketball conferences, college basketball in general,
    rotisserie/fantasy leagues, Lisa Olson, most non-sports TV shows, MVP
    debates, Halls of Fame.
    
    Strong Dislike:  The University of Connecticut, Holy Cross, Notre Dame
    and the NCAA.  I also don't like autograph hunters and the obsession
    with sports collectibles.  I also disagree with those who put athletes
    on a pedestal because they're human beings, just like you and me.
    
    Extremely Strong Dislike:  Boston College
    
    Nicknames:  The Ninja, due to my infamous dismembering of a beachball
    at Patriots Day, 1990.  The Apostrophe Police, due to my excessive
    dislike for misplaced apostrophes, ie, Bogg's (sic).
    
    Role in file:  Research librarian, argument settler, number cruncher.

    Favorite sports: Baseball, professional football, track and field,

    Favorite teams: Baltimore Orioles, NE Patriots (thank God this season
    is over!), Boston Celtics, Boston Bruins, University of Lowell (1980
    graduate), Atlanta Braves, San Francisco 49ers, Golden State Warriors.
    Also keeping the Seton Hall basketball bandwagon warm until JoSH comes
    back in here full time...
    
    Indifferent about: Most college sports, NBA and NHL until the real season
    (i.e., playoffs) starts.
    
    Haven't been as active in here since the BASEBALL notesfile started up
    (that's my main interest), but still read and occasionally throw my
    $.02 in.
    
    I'm also in three rotisserie baseball leagues, Fantasy Football League
    "A" (where I've finished second three times in four years, maybe 1991
    will be my year), and two baseball board game leagues outside of DEC.

    (any guys who live or work in or near NH and like to sing, feel free
    to send me mail for more info).
    
    Thanks 'Saw for hosting this conference and keeping it alive...

    I won't put in the teams I dislike 8^)

    Like Mac I play rugby (actually that's thanks to Mac!), and I play
    lock, but this spring I'm making the switch to prop. 

    Other interests include photography (my dream is to be on the sidelines
    at an NFL game or Rugby World Cup game), writing, reading, and sex
    with farm animals (just seeing if you were paying attention).
	
    I love comedy, and try to see as much standup as I can, either live
    or on cable.  That's another fantasy, but like most dreams, it's easier
    to have it remain a dream than to see just how much work and pain is
    really involved!

    Oh yeah, I'm one of the original junk noters in here...8^)

 
    enjoy!

    whenever we used to send a team.
    
    Whenever I travel on business for long periods of time this notesfile 
    helps to keep me up to date with what's going on.

    Paul Mazur
    Software Specialist
    Bloomfield, CT
    
    Likes: Anything to do with Buffalo.  Needless to say I like the Bills 
           and Sabres.  I also am hoping that when the Major League
           expands, they realize that Buffalo is a great baseball town. 
           What will probably happen is that they will go with a more
           "glamorous" city (Denver, Tampa...).  What a shame, Buffalo
           shattered the minor league attendance record and have one of the
           best ball parks (Pilot's field).
           
           I also like (love) my wife, two children (soon to be three) and
           homebrewing.
           

    Dislikes : The Dolphins, Bruins, Flyers, Bears, Bengals, intestinal
               disorders and radio announcers who say, "...it's 8:45 AM,
               that's quarter to nine in the morning...".  NO SHOOT!!  I
               can tell time.

    Duty in life : Keep an eye on Frank (aka 'saw) for two reasons.
                   Reason 1: He is moderating this notes conference.  If
                             there are any complaints, I will gladly accept
                             a modest payment to remedy the situation.
                             
                   Reason 2: He lives in Hebron and I have a lot of
                             clothing with wool in them.

    Frank has a lot of wool on his clothing, also.  It keeps rubbing off
    from the sheep.  If you've got some good removal techniques (not sheep
    removal, wool removal) he'd appreciate it.

I'm so happy I could just crap! SPORTS isn't dead! Frank is ma heeeero!
And all is right with the world!

I'm Mike JN
I forgot what the JN stands for, but I'm sure it has something to do
with my love of Sports, and my total hatred of any subject which might
depart from a Sports Topic within the Sports Notesfile.

Speaking of Sports... I ended up having a film festival over the
holidays, and the one's (this apostrophe is for you Ninja) I liked best
were `Total Recall' and `Pretty Woman'.

LIKES: I like it when we put this huge piece of visqueen down on the
floor (it has to be big enough to extend part way up the walls, also).
Then we pour a couple gallons of Mazola oil on it, and all the women,
plus me, gets naked and goes sliding around and generally having a good
time.

DISLIKES: Those little bitty tiny tiny gnats that you can't even hardly
see. And in the summertime they fly around... whole clouds of `em. When
they land on you, if you smack `em, they just make a little black smear,
and they can fly right up your nose and make you sneeze, and they get in
your eyes, and hair, and everything.... god, I hate when that happens.

    occurred before he was born!
    
    What do I love about Sports-notes?  The guys in here who make me do
    some things that I don't like, like actually think about certain teams
    that DO play above the norm but that I just don't like for whatever
    reasons.  Guys in here who make me laugh over absolutely silly things,
    like Hawk and MJ (them no-see-ems are pure hell).  The usually friendly
    banter between fans of opposing teams.
    
    What I don't like are ratholes that turn into personal attacks.
    
    What do I miss?  Dinz, Hoot, Monty, Jack Hunter, and the sometimes
    totally absurd and fanatical Donk notes that used to occur in here.
    
    What do I NOT miss?  That damn Jets newsletter that Wardle used to send
    out.
    
    Happy noting, everyone.

    Have been an avid SPORTS noter since 1986.  Known for classic "battles"
    with MrT and for keeping Chris Knorr properly sedated.    Moved from
    Philly area to Charlotte during Winter 1990.   Saw installed satellite
    dish in backyard of new home and turned to sweetie and said "Looks like
    this'll be our new home, dear."

    Try very hard to see with an open mind as many different angles and

    decided.   Ardent defender of individual freedoms and differences.
    
    Greatest sports memory: Philadelphia Phillies 1980 World Championship
    
    Nice to see this conference reborn but I fear these current
    panic-driven Spartan attitudes inside DEC will eventually kill it. 
    Hope not.  Have met quite a few of the SPORTS noters including John
    Hendry, Doug Ross, and Rich Jacob.   Work with or close to Tom Haas and
    Daniel Medvid.

     Well, your Seahawks have a coach famous for that, Choke Knox.
     When he used to coach the Bills, that's what we used to call him.
     He seems to be able to bring a team up to a certain level, usually the 
     1st round of the playoffs, then he chokes.  He did it for the Rams,
     Bills and Seahawks.

    fraternity buddy that - you guessed it - provides stats services and
    newsletters for rotisserie leagues :-)
    
    I love going to any DEC noter function, and have even been invited
    back! :-), so please keep me in mind if you need bodies, and its not
    that time of the month for me (to read this file :-).

	Favorite Team: 	BasketBall:	Chicago Bulls
			Baseball:	Soxs (from NE)
			Hockey:		Bruins (from NE)
			Football:	Colts (Eric Dickerson)

	Other Teams I Like: Celtics (of course), Atlanta, Seattle.
			Patriots, Houston, Raiders, Dallas, Philly
			atlanta, and whoever is the underdog in most
			cases.

	Teams I really dislike: Pistons (because they beat my bulls),
			Lakers (from NE) right now Milwaukee, philly,
			Buffalo Bills, Cinncy, Broncos, Giants, Wash,
			Bears, SF 49ERS, SF 49ERS and the SF 49ERS.

	What I hate most about sports is Hockey letting everyone make the
	playoffs (I may watch 2 or 3 games up until playoffs start).  The
	amount of Money some overrated Atheletes Make.

	What I hate about sports notes files, is nit picking about spelling
	and math errors, who has time to think when entering a flame...

	What I like most about sports notes file's is ruffling over rated
	teams fans feathers....Which is real easy to do.  Also the notes
	files are usally an even better resource than some papers, like to
	see more strictly information type notes.
    

    And, notes that are well-written, properly spelled, properly
    punctuated, and with no apostrophes used in pluralization (in general,
    grammatically correct) will tend to carry more credibility with them. 
    It would also put the Apostrophe Police (TM) out of business.
    
    The 'Police

    Some people have less time than others when reading/entering notes
    therefore cant be worried or concerned about spelling and other nit
    picking.  Just the facts please and remember that opions are opions.
    
    						M.Air.Brooks

    I sometime have a farout opion (opinion) but I think you get my
    point....people should spend less time argueing over somebodies views
    Enough thought this is the intro note..

Now that I have landed, I fell like I can enter my intro note.

Principal Propeller Head
Database Systems Research (CXN1, Colorado Springs)

I try to follow baseball in most of its incarnations, particularly the 
National League.  In the majors, I generally root for the Orioles and Cubs in
the east, Dodgers and Twins in the west, but I mostly just love the game.

In other sports, I like Lakers and the Bears, although I put up with the
Nuggets and Broncos.  I'm also a Capitols fan.

No particular nicknames, although MrT once tagged me with "Cookie" in one of
the fits of hysteria to which he is prone and it stuck.

My only dislikes are the Detroit Pistons and endless discussions about what's
wrong with the Sports notesfile.

    Re-1
    
      As you say Team Handball is very fast and can be a bit physical also.
     I spent 6 months on a Army demo team back in the early 70's.  We went
    all over Kansas and played games before school kids and the like. The
    National team was just being formed, and never did win much . The
    Europeans have been playing it for some time and do quite well. 
    
     If I remember correctly the team is made of of 7 counting the goalie.
    Our coach's idea of a great team would be the following
    
        2 Long Jumpers for Wings
        2 Middle Linebackers for Circle Runners
    	2 Point Guards for the Playmaker
    	1 Soccer Goalie
    
     I played Circle Runner myself, This guy is suppose to move back and
    forth around a half moon outside of the goal. The guard's and wings
    pass the ball back and forth and on occassion would drop it into the
    circle. The circle runner either returns it back or crashes through the
    guys guarding you and dives toward the goalie letting fly with the ball
    at maximum velocity. Bounching off those gym floors is sooo much fun!!
    
     The fast break was a goalie's nightmare. These guys get going and once
    you get to the last circle strip, they leap forward toward and damn
    near on top of the goalie trying to jam it into the goal.

Let's make it two from Switzerland today (although I 've been at least reading
this conference for a couple of years):  Rick from European EIS, Geneva.

My big love has always been hockey, although I like football tremendously as
well.  I don't play any sport regularly these days, but snow and water ski,
tennis, squash, basketball, football, soccer, hockey, and even cricket get 
turns when I feel like it.   

This is a great conference  for me as it helps me keep a little bit up to 
date with home so when I visit every year I still have a clue what's going on.

Also, the quality of the junk noting is exceptionally high, and that's always
good for a laugh!

have fun

    Hey Glen, welcome to SPORTS.
    
    I've been to Portland a number of times and usually frequent a quaint
    little place downtown called "Dakotas".  You familiar with it?  Anyway,
    the place is a haven for scantily clad young Portland State nubiles.
    
    And they usually feature a hot blues band in the back room on Wednesday
    nights.
    
    'Nuff said.
    
    Mark.

    Mark,
         Yes, I'm familiar with Dakotas.  You are right about the young
    college women!  Nice place.
    
    Glen.
    

    A collegue and I are heading back out there (IMS in Beaverton) in June. 
    Maybe we can get together and sample some fine micro-brewed beer.
    
    Mark.

    That's not a bad idea- You seem to know a lot about the Portland
    area.  Where are you at now?  Did you used to live here or something?
    Also, what is IMS?
    
    Glen.

    I do business with a company in Beaverton, Integrated Measurement
    Systems (IMS).  They make test equipment.  Another SPORTS noter, Jeff
    Hausrath has also done business with them, but you can ignore him as
    he's a Cleveland fan.
    
    Mark.

    What do you do for DEC?  How often do you get out here?  I'm just
    full of questions, aren't I?
    
    Glen.

    Very funny Mike! I'm rolling on the floor! NOT! ;^)
    
    

    I can't believe that only Mike has taken a shot at Lufay with such an
    opening available, "What do you do for DEC?".
    
    I'd take one, but I have to occasionally drive nearby Portsmouth, and
    that yuppie probably has some connections with the local cops.  
    
    C'mon, cheap-shot artists, here's a golden opportunity.  Kwak,
    Dickstah, MikeJN, noD\, DanS, etal, it's Friday.  Give it your best
    shot.
    
    If not, I'll hafta recruit brother Mike, who'd probably *LOVE* to snipe
    at Markie.
    
    lEe

    Hit me, I'm open.

    Ignore me cause I'm a Cleveland fan, eh Mark..  Don't forget that I
    root for your 2nd favorite AL East team..  
    
    IMS just ain't the same since Timmy left.. noone could nod their head 
    faster and longer than Tim.
    
    /Jeff

    Well, Markie - let me know when you'll be in the Portland area -
    perhaps I cain make it down thataway - it'll be tough - of course - if
    you cain make it up Seattle way, you'd get to see *3* Sports Noters
    (Me, Metz and the Crouch)  Also Markie, if you happen to be around June
    10,11,12 - the BoSox are in town vs. the Marinaters.
    
    The Portland Kid - I *know* I'll be in Portland the end of September -
    but I may get downtheir earlier.

Hi,

I'm a software spec in EIS out of the DCO office in Landover, MD. 
Nodenames: GOBUCS or GOPENS!
I was raised in the 'burgh so I love all their teams. I don't really root for
any other teams (You can take the kid of out Pittsburgh...).

My main dislikes are Penn State (Joe Pa's lost it), Flyers (Two months of golf
while the Pens were taking the Cup - I love it), the NBA, 
and various other Pittsburgh foes - Mets, Browns, Raiders, etc.
I'm also growing a strong dislike of the Redskins.

I went to school in Philly at Penn (Not Penn State) so even though I hate 
Philly with a passion, I like the Big-5 schools in basketball.  Now in the 
D.C./Baltimore area in Laurel, MD.  I kind of like the O's (cause they always
lose to the Bucs in the W.S.?).  And I'm hoping for a N.L. team in D.C. - 
although it looks grim right now.

I'm mostly a read-only noter but will stick up for the 'burgh when needed.
Therefore, I'm signing in due to the recent misguided and moronic attack
on the greatest Sports City and City Of Champions:  Pittsburgh, PA.

    	Hi,
    
    	I'm an Indiana boy lost here in Mass.  Being from Indiana and
    raised Catholic, I have strong loyalties to Notre Dame football and
    Indiana University basketball.  Of course, I also follow the Colts.
    I have many sports interests, watching and playing.  Right now I'm
    coach/pitcher of a softball team.  My team has one more game of the
    regular season, and if we win, we end the season in first.
    
    	I've been reading the notes for some time now.  I own a Fantasy
    Football Franchise, and I've been trying to get the scoop on possible
    sleeper players to draft.  Draft day is this Saturday. . .  I'm going
    to try to get all the Cleveland players I can!!!  ;^)
    
    	But, the real reason I'm signing on is. . .   I work with Mr
    Whitehair, and I would like to get in on the Hal bashing.  Is there any
    room left on the "bashing team"?
    
    
    Kat

    Plenty of room.  
    
    Notre Dame sux.
    
    Welcome.
    
    Mark.

    
    	Oh, nice thing for my coach to say Aeeee?  He only says that
    because Ohio State kicked Indiana's butt up and down the basketball
    court last year.  Boy, if you guys only knew how many times I saved
    his butt in several of the games this year.  
    	As far as the "Hal bashing"....I told him that you guys arn't
    bashing me.....its Cleveland your bashing.  You guys (especially
    Jake) are so jellous of the Browns and Bernie, that you attack 
    anything from Cleveland or the area.  
    	Anyway, welcome to the Browns Bandwagon Gary.  He won't admit
    it but he likes the Browns as much as I do.  
    	Poor guy though......getting married next month.  She packs
    him *such* nice lunches.  The guy even gets flowers sent to work.
    He looked like a tomato walking down the hall the other day.
    	He even thinks he can pitch....  :-)
    
    	Hal
    

    'Canes rool!
    
    Mark.

    
    >>bashing me.....its Cleveland your bashing.  You guys (especially
    >>Jake) are so jellous of the Browns and Bernie, that you attack 
    >>anything from Cleveland or the area.  
    
    Yeah Hal, just about as jealous as you would be of someone with a major
    case of the "Hershey Squirts".
    
    JaKe
    

    
    
    	Mark, thanks for the welcome.  Sorry you don't care for Notre Dame,
    I take it your team loses to them often.  :^)
    
    	Hal, first time you've made sense today.  Yes, OSU beat up on IU,
    but like that Carolina team I hear so much about, they still choked
    with an excess of talent.  Talking about my pitching. . .  it's a good
    thing you included a :^), cause we both know what happened when "Walkem
    Home Hal" gave his attempt at throwing the ball toward home plate. 
    (notice I never said pitch).  And of course I like the Browns.  When
    you're a Colts fan, you have to appreciate those teams that you can
    beat.  Besides Hal, we're not realy bashing you.  We are merely
    pointing out all of your misguided opinions and short comings in an
    attempt to make you a better person and more aware fan.  Unfortunately,
    we have our work cut out for us.
    
    Hawk, bring on the 'cane bashing. . .  even though it's not as much fun
    since JJ went to lead the Cowpokes.
    
    
    Kat

Great.

Now that we're all warm and fuzzy (or in Hawk's case all warm and wet)
over this new person in Sports, let's move all the bashing
where the bashing belongs...

Out in all the other topics!

    Hi,
    
       I was just told there is this here intro line. I jump on the
    Cleveland Browns party with out a formal introduction. I'm a big Giants
    fan since I was able to say football. Kat was kind enough to show me
    the sports notes and being new to the system I haven't got down the
    proper protocal to play. I'm follow just football and like Kat belong 
    to the same Fantasy Football League. Hope you don't mind if I play
    along with the group and having a little fun with Hal. For those of you
    who are big Giant fans, WFAN 660am can be picked up around this area.
    I listen to it when I drive in and on the way home and they usually
    have something to say about the Giants. Hal, you should listen. You
    never know what leftovers that the Browns may be picking up next!

    Saddest day in sports - The day "Captain America" - Rodger Staubach

    Most underated coach in NCAA history: Joe B. Hall (only b-ball coach to

  Dickstah,

Reminds me of a trick I pull when confronted with an uppity Englishman who says
"You don't speak English, you speak American!", and then continues to insult
North America, fast food, hot dogs, imitation cricket, football, whatever.

Goes like this:

     Me: "Please say toe-mate-oe"
 Turkey: "toe-mahtt-oe" 
     Me: "Please say poe-tate-oe" 
 Turkey: "#$@%^^*% smart ass Colonial"

Puts 'em away every time.  :*))))))))))

 Welcome aboard Wildcat. As a lover of college basketball you simply must take
 yourself over to note 17 ACC Conference and voice your opinion on Dean Smith..

 It's an absolute must for conference membership...

    a few disfunctional synapses!  In fact, this was brought out in the

    "Conan" asked the guy, "Is that for me?".  "I dunno" replied the UPS

I will probably regret this, but I guess I'll check in to this asylum.

I'm Tom Chappel (Chap), I've been at DEC, in the Mill, for 11+ years.  I've 
spent the last 8+ years in MSD Computer Operations, I'm currently the operations
supervisor.

I work in the same group as /Don, which is also one of KRYPTN::Dinsmore's
previous groups.   As a matter of fact, and I know I will live to regret
admitting this, I am personally responsible for introducing Dinz to
::Sports.

I have been reading SPORTS notes since its NOTES11 days on EXIT26::.

/Don and I have shared season tickets to Patriots for the last two years.
We are in Section 103, Row 1, Seats 27 and 28.  We get an up close and
personal view of the cheerleaders.

I have been to a couple of SPORTS noters get-togethers.  One at the
Sit 'N Bull (I drive over with Slasher :-)) and was also at the
Patriot's Day Red Sox game this year.

 
I was also at the infamous DeliveranceDude game with 'Saw, Hawk, Walt and 
Mike.

I got to meet JO* last weekend when /Don, myself and Bucky B. took a little
road trip down to Atlantic City, and the Giants/Jets game at the 
Meadowlands. 

I am somewhat of a legend at a certain blackjack table at the Taj Mahal...
I will save that story for another time...:-)

How I spent my summer vakation.....by BoB

Boy oh boy it was lots of fun. First I went to NY NY where we went to
see MAdsion square garden where the NY Rangers not the Texas RAngers
play at. Then we was going to go to Yankee statdium to see the Yankees
play the Rangers from TExas not the ones from MAdison squre garden play
but my friend got sick so we coudnt go. But then there was some
guy running around the subways stabbing people witha screwdrivers. There
was lots of funny people in the subways but none of them were laughing 
so I didnt either. THEn I went to Pencilvania where I alsmost got a 
hole in one but I had to get a hole in 2 instead. Then we came back here
so I said I would do lots and lots of hiking so I did. But I put my foot
right in front of a rattlsnak. Boy did I scare him. HA HA! But I had to
quit hiking so I could go to LAs Vegas and win lots and lots of money.
I bet on baseball and thought how stupid PEte Rose was because its sooo
hard to bet on baseball. So then we left LAs Vegas but still got out of
town with our shorts. We were in such a hurry to get back we got stoped
by the Utah hiway police but he let us go cause wer were only doing 70
and we said we wouldn do that no more. HA HA! And then I did all kinds
of other stuff two and it surewas a lot of fun so I think i will do 
it again some other time like next summer maybe.

    Just started reading Sports, so with the Dodgers about to go to
    Pittsburgh, I thought that I would come out of the closet.
    
    I'm LA-Steve and the only thing that quite equals the thrill of 
    watching the Dodgers or Lakers (not even I can take the Orange County
    Rams) win another championship, is the thrill of watching, listening or
    reading the whining of LA-Haters.  Since I am way up here in Seattle,
    there a lots of those.  So when the Dodgers and Lakers win, please
    complain as LOUD as you can.
    
    thanks,

	The Hoosiers have been ranked in the top 5 in the soccer polls all 
season.  They won the Big Ten tournament last week, earning a bye in the
first round of the NCAAs.  They'll be playing a home game against either 
Evansville or Wisconsin shortly (this weekend?) as their first tournament
game.

	Evansville knocked them out of the NCAAs last year, and Wisconsin
beat them earlier this season to snap their consecutive games without a 
loss streak against Big Ten schools at 67 or 68.

    Stan -
    
    Army usually has a good LAX team.  Spent many a_afternoon at West Point
    with my buddy Arnie (who had a convertible Tr7) watching Army LAX and
    then heading into town to drink some brews and look for 'debs'.
    
    JD

    Stan,
    
    Cain't let you forget 2 usually strong 'crosse teams:
    
    	Hofstra
    	C.W. Post
    
    I remain,
    the longEYE lander,
    Kev
    

 Wow, I didn't realize I would dredge up so much LAX sentiment. My apology to
 Virginia, Army, Hofstra, and CW Post.  What is there collective records 
 against SU anyway ? oh - and a million ? 

    
>>non-efforts.   They've pulled in a coupla lax titles but they're ancient 
    
    
    Just what are these "lax titles"????
    
    I thought lax titles were something you found on a 95 year old lady!!
    
    Or something to do with Ex-Lax!!
    
    (8^)*
    
    JaKe
    

    Kim Rivers, Sports Bimbo.
    
    (Did I value my own Difference?)    ;)
    
    
    Presently, I work at the Artificial Intelligence Technology Center
    (AITC, cleverly enuf) in Marlboro.  I commute from CT.  My favorite
    seafood is crab, I drive a green Samurai DeathTrap, and....
    
    Oh.  Right.  Sports.
    
    
    I've read this conference for a while (usually with someone to help out
    with the big words), but don't reply often because I can't compete with
    the sheer knowledge and literary fortitude of the usual contributors. 
    But now that I've completed my course in See n Spell, I thought I'd
    introduce myself.
    
    My favorite sport is horse racing, in it's varied forms.  Not enough
    tracks around here, not like (set mode/attitude=snob) California.  
    
    I also enjoy baseball, footyball, and even like hockey.  No teams
    around here I can 'get behind' though, probably because I'm not a
    native and also because I live a nice equi-distant way from Boston and
    Hartford, and for that matter, NY.  I shall never like NY teams,
    though.  I took an oath.   
    
    I tend to favor teams hailing from my beloved city, San Diego, CA.
    I hate all LA teams, especially the Raiders.  
    
    
    
    I like other sports, too.  (she said, brightly)
    
    Ice Skating (it's a sport!  An Art!  Sport!  Art!  Sport!  Art!)
    
    Fencing.  (White picket is my favorite....)
    
    Archery.    
    
    Equestrian Sports.  (Quarter Horse Bungie Jumping)
    
    I love sailboats and sailing, although the races tend to be less than
    riveting to watch.   ("Ah, yes, Jack, the boat is STILL moving right
    along, on the water.  Back to you.")
    
    I like autoracing and have a secret desire (not so secret now) to drive
    a car really, really fast and not get a ticket for it.   Drag racing is
    pretty cool.  Not too many other ways to get yourself a quarter mile
    down the road in 4 seconds.
    
    Bowling.  (Some comedian said once that announcers for bowling much be
    bored.  "So, Bob, what do you think Earl Anthony will do now?" 
    ::pause::  "Uh, I think he'll try to knock the pins down, Will.  Back
    to you.")  I think Candlepin bowling looks silly, but I would never
    tell anyone with one of those little balls in their hand that while
    standing at the other side of the alley.  I seen 'em.  They can throw
    those things hard.   :)
    
    Golf.   Harder than it looks, which is nice to say about any gent--er,
    sport. 08)  But seriously, for a sport where you walk everywhere, it
    seems like fun.
    
    
    Sports I don't like:
    
    Boxing.  (Big thugs, hammering it out and making ridculous sums of
    money to do so.  I guess I'm just jealous.)
    
    Basketball.  (Too much scoring.  Hmm.  Again, must be jealous ;))
    
    
    
    There are many sports which I am neutral about.  Volleyball.  Ping
    Pong.  Greyhound Bungie Jumping (not to be mixed up with QH Bungie
    Jumping which is much more exciting).  Yahtzee.   Things like that.
    
    
    There are some sports which I have been known to participate in:
    
    Archery.  Yes, I can and have shot a bullseyes, but the farmer was not
    happy.
    
    Bowling.  I was good at this once.  Once.
    
    Fencing.  Best left to Musketeers, although for a grand moment, I felt
    like an overweight Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. in drag.....
    
    Tetris.  My workstation keeps beating me.  But I like sadistic GPXs
    and I keep coming back to it.....must be my upbringing.  
    
    
    
    
    Thus concludes my introduction.

    Kim, I've been to San Diego.  Matter of fact, I spent 2 weeks there on
    vacation.  Loved MIssion Bay, Balboa Park (that statue of Adrianne is
    awesome) and La Jolla.
    
    Went to Foggy's Notion and bought me one of them tourist "Andhow'syour
    Bush" tee-shirts.

    Hello, Kim.  My name is Daniel.  In here, I go by dan'l.  I'm blond,
    blue-eyed, and...what's that, Mac?  Oh, you mean this note isn't for
    that kind of introduction?  Damn.  
    
    So tell me...I mean us...Kim, were you one of the RONs (Read Only
    Noters) at the bar the night of the Great GetTogether?  If so, what's
    your opinion of Kevin cutting all that cheese?
    
    	--dan'l

    Thanks for the greetings.  
    
    But I still hate NY teams.  Okay, NYC teams.  Even those that try to
    pretend they're not really NYC teams by sneaking over the boarder into
    Jersey.  It's all the same city, we know it.  You can't fool me!  
    
    Alas, I have not been in San Diego for years.  ::sniff, sniff::
    I truly miss it.  Balboa Park, the Zoo, Sea World, The Embarcadero,
    Mission Bay, the Mexican's making passes at me, the lack of trees, the
    F-14's doing touch and gos at Miramar NAS and shaking the windows of my
    house....   
    
    Didn't see one Tom Cruise or Kelly McGillis when I went there for the
    airshows.   Do you think maybe it was all make believe?
    
    Anyway, it's been a long time.
    
    So long, in fact, that I don't even know what Foggy's Notion is!  (you
    could say...I haven't the foggiest notion, ar ar ar  Uh, yeah.  Stick
    to being a bimbo, I know.)
    
    
    Anyway, it's a beautiful place, and I encourage all to visit, but
    dammit, stop moving there.  California will fall into the sea, not
    because of earthquakes, but because of the sheer weight of the nation
    building houses upon it so they can STEAL what we native Californians
    so rightly deserve!  Just to fix all of you, I packed up and moved
    east!  Bwah hah hah!
    
    (and if that doesn't prove I'm stupid, I don't know what will. ;)
    
    cheers,

    us, and I'm (sob) leaving.

    	Tim

 Kim,
 
 Welcome.  Great intro note.  Whatta riot.  I've been to San Diego twice
 for a week each time.  Absolutely loved it.   Gorgeous weather all year
 round.
 
 "Meat" joined us lasted week.  So we'll call you "Potatoes" or just plain
 "Taters" for short, 'kay ???
 
 Bob Hunt

    I just re-read kim's introduction (again) and I truly admire her/your
    style.
    I guarrantee that if kim becomes a regular, there will be a radical
    change in the way notes are written ::pause:: or typed!
    ;^)
    
    I also have an opion(tm) that classifying her as a member of a food
    group is wrong.  Meat is an out of the closet Snuffer main!  Kim's
    sports preferences (as a group of her tastes) aren't even close to
    qualifying (in here) as a munchie so I'd like to suggest that her
    intro be re-analyzed for possible nicknames.
    Off my (short) haid, I think these might be considered:
    
    U Shoes (or "U" for short) to reflect her Mr. Ed and horsie thing
    Nut - She DOES live in Connecticut (the NUTmeg State) and her intro
    		might be another indicator ;^)
    Picket - (or Pick) to reflect her "Fencing" interest
    ABABE - (a babe - obviously) and it could be "Anti-Babe" to reflect 
    		a certain Yankmee(tm) and her feelings towards NY teams
    
    I still don't know how to cope with her apparent geographical problems
    though.  LOUIEEEE and St. John's are located in Queens - a borough of
    NYC.  I read into her "slight" concession that *Maybe* LOUIEEE and
    St. John's would be OK if they weren't NYC and she thought they weren't
    (like SorryExcuse or Buffalo).........  
    
    I dunno....I'm wondering.....Has Kim spent some time with MrT studying
    geography?...Is she a "plant" (or some kind of literary metaphore
    appearing to be nice but is the Debil(tm) in disguise?
    
    I remain,
    wondering if/when/can she go boating with dan'l

Still living in Ct?  Enfield?


I was on vacation when you made you're intro.  We're in the SPO plant
now in Springfield....


I'm sure you know that Brutus isn't wrasslin' any more, and that
the Ultimate Warrior is back.


Glad to see you in here.  Don' be shy and make sure that you note
a lot...

'Saw

    Frank:
    
    1.  Yes, I'm in CT still.  
    
    
    2.  No, I'm not in Enfield.  I live in the NE corner of the state,
    now, strategically placed in about equidistant drives from Hartford,
    Providence and Worcester.  However, getting to Hartford takes about
    twice as long as getting to the other two places simply because it
    hasn't dawned on anybody in CT to build an East-West highway of any
    decent length or size.  (and yes, in highways, it's the size AND length
    that count!)
    
    3.  I'm glad I didn't get the job in the old ENO plant because they up
    and moved to Springfield too.  The plant is OK for an ex-armory, but
    the bright 70's decor is a little startling at times.  (it's been a
    couple years, they may have changed it -- the cubes where bright orange
    and brown when I saw them.  Yow.)

I hear you.  That's why getting to Providence can be such a tough thing
for me.  When we went to play them last fall, it seemed to take FOREVER
going out Route 6.  If you get stuck behind some old lady who wants to
do 30 mph, forget it, it'll take you all day to find a spot to pass her.

We brought our offices with us, so the spot looks pretty decent.
Actually, most of ENO just up and closed, and lots of people got the
package I think.  

From what I've heard they still haven't sold the building there either.

    	Hey 'saw, Bld. 102-2 is locked!!  I guess you guys don't want to

    Over the last couple of months I've been following the public access
    conferences over the world wide network (not sure what it's called) and
    being in those conferences has made me appreciate this one a lot more. 
    Those conferences are full of LDUCs, my-team-is-better-than-your-team,
    our-fans-are-better-than-your-fans and endless statistical discussions.
    
    This conference has friends and digressions into various other topics
    that are infinitely more interesting that what goes on over there.
    
    I've deleted all those other conferences and no longer follow them. 
    I've seen a couple of other familiar names in there and your mileage
    may vary but I think that network is almost a complete waste of time.
    
    Ninj

    This conference seems pretty interesting to me,too.  Thought I should
    introduce myself in case I wanted to chime in.  
    	I am a big sports fan.  My favorite teams are the Red Sox, the
    Bruins, the Celtics, and the Patriots.  I have lived in New England all
    my life, so I am loyal to my hometown teams.  Look forward to
    interesting conversations!

Where do stand on the issue of Bobby Knight being a better coach than
Dean Smith?

    Yeah, Chris.  Welcome.
    
    More importantly, where do you stand?  I'm at S4 in Core D.

    I remain,
    trying to keep the "family" together........
    
    
    
    

    I forgot,
    
    I also have a FAX at work (very secure).
    
    At this hour, I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure the number is 
    
    508-467-2105

    wiping the sorry from my eyes

    I hope all of us keep in touch... and that we don't do anything to
    get the family upset at each other...

And always remember:

	Whereever you go, there you are......

    Also remember,
    
    ...Rugby players do it with leather balls...

	I was searching through this topic for something and realized I 
	had not put an entry in here.  My most sincere apologies.

	Bill Long
	Field Service MKO2 (Merrimack, NH)
	
	transplanted Steel City fanatic
	watched the Pirates at Forbes Field
	watched the Steelers at Pitt Stadium
	kind of remember the Hornets (pre-Penquins) in the Civic Arena (Igloo)

	This doesn't mean I'm old, just a good memory. ;^)

	Fluent speaker of Pittsburghese.

	I've been a RON(mostly) in here and the last SPORTS for a while.

    Glad to see you speak up, Bill.  With my leaving, it will be up to you
    to intelligently complement JaKe in the never ending battle between him
    and Hal and Gronowski.  Here's a hint: never reply with a sentence that
    begins with "Have the Browns ever..."  The illogic that flows after one
    of those is hilariously tiresome.
    
    Keep the faith, friend.
