Great read about Davone Bess

Check out this article from the Sun-Sentinel about Davone Bess and the obstacles he's had to overcome, from having a drug-dealing dad and seeing his uncle murdered right in front of him to spending time in prison.

Great read.

Wonderful story. DBess is the man. I mentioned in the prediction post that I think he’s primed for a huge game Sunday.

Here’s to hoping that comes to fruition.

AWESOME........

Just so happens, I met him today. Went to a signng at Comp USA down here. He was totally cool. Wanna know what kind of shit rolls of my tougne at a rookie who is on a team that is going to go down in NFL history as having “THE” greatest turnaround season in ever!!!!

“THREE MORE, BABY!!!!, JUST THREE MORE!!!’ You know me……..I said it loud as he walked in. He looked at me and gave a big ass smile holding up three fingers, repeating "3 more” in a calm voice. I was like 4th in line, I got up there and the dude was cool as hell. I told him that I was a “SUPER” fan, and I needed a favor.
“DUDE, ONE OF THOSE PUNTS…………TAKE IT TO THE HOUSE. HELL…… TAKE TWO OF THEM BACK……YOU CAN DO IT, PLUS "YOU” ARE OV. ERDUE!!!!!!" He smiled and responded “right on”.

Totally cool guy, signed my mini-helmet, a sweet action shot(8X10)…..personalized, and a couple of cool photos with him!!! Yeah………I’m starting to get a little pumped for tomorrows game!!!

ya know......I hate computers......sometimes.

I got pictures. There’s the thing, I tried to post them or import them to my posts, but i can’t seem to figure it out. I read the “how to” post………I couldn’t fing my URL address on my PC?? I can usually switch my member picture, but this stupid computer will not let me do that………PIECE OF SHIT….

So, I got 2 real nice ones……….I’ll keep trying to switch my member pic.

I think if you go to Photobucket.com, open an account, and post your pictures there, then you should be able to post your pictures here using the URL method. I think……..

WoW!

That really is a great story. I didn’t realize that the guy was locked up for a year! I hate those stupid charts where they try to put you in a little box. Its like that in the business world also. I’m so glad we signed this guy – he might be a little better than Camarillo.
