I don't know...I think you're describing quite a few gov't jobs there!

There are very few pro athletes whom I respect: Ron Dayne (I know he's football, but they're in the same pickle), Reggie White (again, footbal), Larry Bird, Robin Yount, etc.

I agree with a lot of what you have to say. I'll add KC Chiefs Linebacker Donnie Edwards as another pro player I greatly admire. He has a strong work ethic, doesn't talk smack and isn't out getting arrested on his days off.

Add Zach Thomas to List A and Barry Blownup Bonds to List B. (IMHO, Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe belong in the HOF before Bonds. I hope his nads shrunk to this size oo)

Hey now, I used to work for the State.

And I even got fired from one of those jobs. They trumped some crap up on me and got me tossed. Later, I found out they couldn't afford the raises that were coming, so they were looking to lighten the load.

B@st@rds.
