If anyone cares to know, he and his fiancee/wife (I couldn't tell) own a 4-month-old Boston Terrier terrier puppy named Daisy and a 2-yr-old female pug I haven't met yet.
    That's really neat!! How cool is that that he's a client of yours!!

    I've mentioned on here before that a friend of mine plays for the Ravens and they won their game against the Titans on Saturday. I will be so incredibly happy for him if they get to go to the Super Bowl. Go Ravens!!

    Congratulations once again to the Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball team for pulverizing their rivals Indiana 76-45!

    EV, that is cool that Marcus Henry is one of your clients. I have to say though that as an avid Miami Dolphins fan, I'm not that fond of his team since the Jets are one of the Dolphins biggest rivals. Now, that is about as gracious as I can be. Seriously though, he is very talented and a nice guy, I'm sure.

    I personally don't have an actual alliance to the Jets, or to any team; only 50% of my family does.. I'm fairly on the outskirts of pro football. I'll probably get interested once the Super Bowl teams are finalized, and only because I know this season has had so many ups and downs that all along it's been anybody's ballgame (so to speak) to take the championship. The main reason I'll be most interested in this year's SB is to see my other main man and band, the Boss and the E Streeters, at halftime!

    I guess if the Jets training camp is in town now, we may start seeing more of their team bringing in their cuddly little pets, so I may become a fan just because of that!

    I have an even better story to tell in another thread that I've been dying to tell, but I've had to stall in writing about it. I had to promise secrecy for a period of time, and soon that time will be up....How's that for stringing y'all along??

    That would be great !! Is he a close enough friend to get you tickets?
    That would be the chance of a lifetime.

    His wife and I are close friends. We were roommates in college for 2 1/2 years and he lived with us for the majority of the time. I just realized today that i will be in Florida the same weekend as the Super Bowl. I'll be in St. Pete, which is only about 15-20 minutes from Tampa. So if the Ravens go all the way I might get to see my friends while i'm there.

    Well it's a nice thought but i don't want to be pushy about it to them. I don't know if they would be able to give out tickets to family and friends if they go to the Super Bowl but I would much rather get to see my old friends than have tickets to the game.
