"Let's blow this thing and go home!" The Force was strong in Vegas where we celebrated the debut of LEGO SMART Brick & LEGO SMART Play at CES by piloting a full-size LEGO Star Wars X-Wing and finding the thermal exhaust port on the Sphere-turned-Death Star. My entire childhood in one experience!
Reality show I'd watch: All the college football coaches fired this year in a Buffalo Wild Wings, mic'd up and watching games live.
There aren't many people of whom you can say every time you talked to them you learned something. Every conversation with Roy Kramer was an education. Death is never well-timed. But saying goodbye to Mr. Kramer on the eve of the SEC Championship he created feels sorta perfect.
At 62, John Force agreed to be in 2011's ESPN Mag Body Issue, full of young chiseled athletes, to show his crash scars. We met in his RV to talk about it. By the time he was done explaining he was naked. "Don't act grossed out. I have to look at this s--t everyday." He's 1 of 1.
It's 8 PM ET Christmas Eve. All Santas please report to your racecars.
I'm so sad to hear about the passing of former South Carolina QB Steve Taneyhill. It's hard to explain to people today the pop culture phenom that No. 18 and his rattail were. I've never hated a player more (bitter '90s Tennessee alum) that I enjoyed so much as an adult.
My friend Kevin Woods sent me this pic. I believe it's 2015. Biff did Homestead hot laps live on SportsCenter, and we all crammed into the Mustang with him. It's impossible to quantify how much fun I had with this man but also how much he taught me about racing. I'm so sad.
Happy #ArmyNavy day! My Dad's always asked about his greatest experience as a college official. The answer? His two Army-Navy games. Especially 12/7/91, Pearl Harbor's 50th anniversary. A sideline full of leaders & heroes and a pregame POTUS address. That's Pops, far left.
Boarding for Saturday's Marty & McGee and the plane is packed with LSU and Florida fans headed to Baton Rouge, Saints and 49ers fans headed to the Superdome, an entire row of Duke fans headed to Tulane and one dude in New Mexico State gear headed to LA Tech. God bless football.
