Speaking of Pat...I went to the Los Angeles Avengers/AZ Rattlers game at Staples over the weekend (Arena football for those out of the loop...THIS is LA FOOTBALL, LOL, that's LA's motto). There was a drumline performace before the game and at the end, the dude playin' the symbols, threw them on the ground, pulled out an American flag and had a plackard with Tillman's name and his familiar #40. The crowd went nuts...it was really freakin' cool.

A couple guys on the AZ team (my favorite team) played at ASU with Pat so it was a good little gesture. My sisters' husband, as stated before, lived with the guy for 2 years at ASU while playing football and there were a few guys on the Rattlers that played with him as well. It really was a bittersweet day for my dogs...

At least we beat the dumbass Avengers.

BTW, why are the Arizona cheerleaders so much hotter than the Avenger hos? Actually, it's a given...there are just hotter chicks in AZ...a least they are a little more 'real', if you know what I mean.

BTW, did anyone know there is a damn subway that goes from Universal Studios (like 2 min. from my house) to Staples Center? Holy crap, just parked at the station, hopped on the train, and 15 min. later I was there. No need to pay 15 for parking or sit in traffice for a half hour. Gotta love it.

Just hope we don't have that 10.5 while I'm in there.

**I know I'm the only dude in LA besides Granatofan (Pasadena right? The train rolls right through old town too...weird)**
