If he is under 30 then he is probably coming to replace your old ass for 1/2 the cost.

Does anyone still watch the Homerun Derby anymore? I'm tried of the Chris Berman schtick... BACK, back, back.
He sounds like Joe Pesci running out of breath to finish a sentence. Retire already! Just 'cause you have a lifetime contract doesn't mean you have to stay a lifetime! Sheesh
Can't stand him. I can barely tolerate him for NFL Countdown, no way I could handle all that back back back shit.
He is rather obnoxious but a fixture at the Home Run Derby.

Priceless. Just another reason he needs to hang it up.

Berman’s line after Stanton won was, “In the year we lost Muhammad Ali, down goes Frazier.”

In case you are somehow unaware, the “down goes Frazier” quote is from George Foreman’s match against Joe Frazier. It’s easily one of the most famous sports quotes of all-time, and an obvious way to go considering Todd Frazier got beat in the championship round.

Important news for TexDave...

Here are Caring.com's top 10 most dangerous and safest states for senior drivers with their likelihood for senior-driver fatalities:

10. Delaware: 5.86%
 9. Washington: 6.29%
 8. New Jersey: 6.71%
 7. Hawaii: 7.09%
 6. Pennsylvania: 7.16%
 5. Idaho: 7.23%
 4. New York: 8.23%
 3. Minnesota: 8.42%
 2. Maine: 9.17%
 1. Rhode Island 18.87%

...and the 10 safest states:

10. Connecticut: 1.08%
 9. Florida: 0.31%
 8. Wyoming: 0.02%
 7. South Carolina: -0.35%
 6. Mississippi: -1.29%
 5. Montana: -1.62%
 4. Alaska: -2.57%
 3. Louisiana: -2.76%
 2. North Dakota: -4.57%
 1. New Mexico: -5.89%

And here's bad news for all you youngbloods out there:

Those age 65 and older expected to make up a quarter of all drivers by 2025,  according to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety,
I don't care how old they are as long as they stay off their f'kn smartphones!

Looks like Georgia is one of the 57 states not on the list... Thanks, Obama!  ;)
Numbers don't lie but liars use numbers.   Texas kills more elderly drivers than any other state and we did not make the top 10 because of the way they use the numbers where as most just base states on the total killed. 
There are also different classifications for "older drivers" but the most accepted is 70 not 65.

The Fatality Rate for those between 70 and 80 is lower than those under 30 but when they hit 80 they really need to quit driving!

He would have to also be middle eastern to reach that level of pay.

Even I knew what "down goes Frazier" means, but then again I was watching it.

Think I will say fuk-it and head to the house.

Temperature 102 and Heat Index 118 so probably no smoke today.

Enjoyed driving through Texas to be regularly reminded that 1545 had been killed on Texas highways in 2016
