.....Wassup!  welcome to Tuesday!!!...I didn't make it to the STP show but I wish I would have! I heard it was off da hoooook!.....shot some new "2 Guys" over the weekend....speaking of which I can not wait for the NFL opening day Sept 11!!!!!!...If you get a chance check out the documentary HBO is running this month on Curt Flood....it is nothing short of fascinating and it is long overdue...Curt Flood played baseball for the Cardinals back in the late 60's early 70's....He did so in an era that was still tainted to some degree with segregation and racism....he courageously took a stand when no one else would and his actions benefitted every professional athlete that came along afterwards....he had his demons no doubt...but he is still an unsung hero....watch it if you get a chance....thanks for stopping by as always.......Rick
