If he wants another Quincy Carter, I hope he drafts one that can read and doesn't have a drug problem.

Who among you didn't watch that game and go Holy shit that is awesome? I did.

Thing is, that works in College, because you have 90 players to move in and out and give rests. By the 3rd quarter the offense couldn't move they were so tired and it gave the crap sandwich that is the 2013 Redskins the ability to come back in the game. Vick was already limping by 2 minutes into the 3rd and McCoy was gassed.

I liked watching it, but there is no way they keep that up without a significant rotation on defense and offense. If you are moving the ball that fast on offense your defense has no rest.

What is the "Red Ball"? Is that our retarded name for the no-huddle now?

The Red Ball Express was an enormous truck convoy system created in 1944 to supply Allied forces moving quickly through Europe after breaking out from the D-Day beaches in Normandy. The route, marked with red balls, was closed to civilian traffic; the trucks were marked with the same red balls and given priority on regular roads. The Red Ball Express supply plan originated in a 36-hour urgent committee meeting, and was co-designed by Lt. John Bridener Guthrie, Jr.[citation needed].
The system operated from August 25 to November 16, 1944, when the port facilities at Antwerp, Belgium, were opened, some French rail lines were repaired, and portable gasoline pipelines were deployed.
The Red Ball Express was primarily operated and driven by African-American soldiers.

There's a company called Red Ball Oxygen that sells welding supplies. I used to buy welding rods from them when I worked at my dad's place. You see, a roofer had let us borrow his welder to fix a truck we had and then let us keep it for a few weeks because he had to weld a hitch on to an asphalt kettle that I sold him. That's when I taught myself how to weld and would do business at Red Ball. Funny, I never knew that's where the name came from. Good post, Rock.

I hope you got a Tetris shot afterwards.

I guess you're ok now though since you're here.

Actually I was admitted to the hospital with a mild case of galaga.

Cream cleared that up though. Things are wonderful. How are you?

That wasn't funny....

I did enjoy the history lesson.
