Just name who do you think has the highest vertical leaps in basketball. Ill name one.:

. . . . [Bill] Russell went, took on Charles Dumas, the top jumper in the world, and pushed him to 6’9 ¼”. It was the best high jump in the United States up to that point in the season.After both had cleared that height, Dumas wanted to call it a tie, but Russell said, “Whatthe heck. Let’s reach for the sky,” and asked the officials to set the bar at seven feet. I read the newspaper report the next day. Dumas missed badly on all three tries.“Russell,” the story said, “just nicked the bar with his knee on the way down on his firsttwo tries, and he was over on his third try, but ticked the bar with his ankle after his body had passed over.” The bar shuddered, almost stayed up, and then fell into the pit."

The guy cleared a 7 foot high jump but his ankle ticked the bar.

Here is the complete article.

Purdue has two, Notredame has two, Stanford has two, Alabama has at least two. Does any college have three or more?

It is a lot more fun when there is some sweet eye candy to feast your eyes on. So ladies, (or gentlemen), who is that hot piece of man-meat you can't wait to see step up to the plate, and what team does he play for??
(For me, it is JD Drew from the Red Sox :)

I'm looking for a place to go camping where alcohol is allowed. I'm from the Philly area and I don't really want to go more than 2 and a half hours away. Does anyone know of any campsites where alcohol is allowed near here?

Just watching the Browns game now and was wondering why only so many states have a team, but others don't. Is it because of funding or what? Thanks!

Here's an article of Nick talking about his now destroyed Supra. He's a real charmer!

In the latest issue of Rides Magazine , Nick Bollea told the mag that his yellow Supra gets a lot of pussy. A real charmer that one. Yeah, too bad your pussy magnet is now sitting in a junk yard.

"The yellow Supra and yellow Viper are pussy magnets for sure. I mean, the green and the silver appeal more to men, ’cause a guy knows what he’s looking at and will drool over it. But girls see the yellow, and panties start dropping off."

The only girl that I know that drops when she sees yellow is Kim Kardashian and that's for a totally different reason.

Nick also goes on to brag how cops let him go after catching him speeding, "I was driving from Miami to Tampa. I got pulled over going 107 [mph] and the guy let me off. He’s like, “Hey, I know who you are, just keep going, ya know.” Dude, I got back on the road and two minutes later I get pulled over going 113 [mph].

This would use the "plus one" model, but different than you think. The BCS games would go back to being traditional. Big 10 and Pac 10 in Rose Bowl, exet. The Cotton Bowl would be added to keep the total amount of teams at ten.The winners of the 5 BCS bowl games would have a chance to go to the NC game. An NCAA chosen panel of media people and athletic directors would select two of the five teams to play for the title. I know right now you are saying "Why don't they just have the five teams play each other in a playoff?" Well, the reason is because that isn't going to happen. This is a realistic system that would improve everything. All the BCS games would matter. 10 teams would get a chance to qualify for the championship. Also, all the BCS bowls would be on January first. Could you imagine a day of five bowl games that all matter! That day would be a special spotlight for those five bowls. All other bowls would be moved back one day. A realistic, better system- what do you think?
