I could care less about Jordan. Basketball is a sissy game anyway. ;) If you want to talk about athletes that have saved franchises let's talk about Mario Lemieux. He saved the franchise the first time by leading the Penguins to 2 Stanley Cup titles, the second time by buying the franchise, and a third time by returning to play. Look out hockey fans, the Pens are even BETTER this year.
Interesting security story from our upcoming 'chogham' conference... the marriott hotel day spa just called me regarding my appointment on the 8th october to ask for my registration number for my car and for my full legal name so they can do background checks for everyone entering the hotel that day!!!!!
background check to get a massage?! I've got to say, i'm impressed!!

Johnny Ace,
One, you never heard me say I did not care about the money. Bottom line is just that, the bottom line.
If you where at the party I am sorry you had to see what the Local DA did to it. Had nothing to do with what we did but if you where really there then I guess you would know that.
The party came off with a hitch, the DA and his mob not letting most of the people in the door made for a very poor showing. and your right, it sucked.

"It has never been about money"
But money sure is a good measuring stick:-) :-) :-)
You do your job half way right & the money comes.... Damn.. how much money does a single person with no bills, 3 houses, 5 timeshares, 2 cats and a dog need?

As others have learned in the past, never count pwt out.
Even in the b-ball leagues I play in the stars get the calls. I never ever get any calls to go my way. I never get a charging call, its always blocking.

Oh... I agree the stars get the calls but I think that is pure bullshit. A fould or penalty should be called if it is comitte... PERIOD! Jordan whined any time a foul was called and played it to the max. With all of his talent he, nor any other superstar for that matter, needs any extra help from officials.
Tue, 25 Sep - 17:39:14 216.138.189.9 Post #: 20369
Enforcer - Stars always get the calls - they earn them by becoming stars. You do not think Jerry Rice, Brett Farve, etc.. get away with calls??
At one time in his career anytime Rice mised a pass, a flag came out - the reasoning was if the great Rice did not catch the ball, it had to be interference...
Tue, 25 Sep - 17:33:27 63.100.104.31 Post #: 20368
Another reason I do not care for Jordan.
When he "retired" he left his teammates hanging. They had a great team.
He was selfish to chase his stupid goal to play baseball. He thought baseball was one year long fantasy camp.

----------------------------
people have all sorts of stuff theysay exemplifies the career of Michael Jordan.. a great play here, a game winning shot there... but my play that exemplifies his career, just as much as the many great plays he made, was his final shot in the Finals against Utah. An obvious offensive foul as he shoved the defedner out of the way to get his shot. A clear foul in full and obvious view of the ref that wasn't called. I don't deny his greatness but I also can't stand the fact that he gotaway with murder on the court. A foul is a foul whether it's a rookie or the best player in the game. Jordan got away with so damn much it isn't even funny. I can't stand that. Biggest thing I hate about pro sports and Jordan was it's worst offender. He almost never fouled out of a game and it wasn't because he didn't committ fouls... :>((

All the way home from the doctors office, my ears were burning - now I know why.....
"RB, FM, bring a few card decks and let's play a nice game of
friendly STRIP POKER!"
Now I call that an event!!!
OK - enough inuendo. Let's deal in fact - not that it is anyones business, but I am not too fond of gossip.
1. I met with Claudia in Miami. Many of the people in involved in the Amsterdam show were feeling a little pressure, that November was just too close to do it right. She asked for my help & I told her that I could not help her much until after AdultDex - so we started looking for other dates & came up with April ( Holland is beautiful in the Spring.)
She wants the time to do it right & that allows plenty of time. Had nothing to do with AdultDex - except I wouldn't be able to help.
2. Vegas Lee & Alex. They are working with me because I asked them. I have been doing TradesShows for 7 years. I don't have staff - it is just me and Dave. (and Dave is part time.) It has taken a toll on me. TradeShows are very frustrating, especially if you are a control freak, and everything reflects on you personally. It has never really been about the money. It has been the challenge and the fact that I care! Actually too much - so I take too many things personally.
My health has not been very good for the last year, and I have had to deal with a lot of pain. I need to start doing something about it, and that requires that I take meds that basically leave me pretty mellow. You cannot do everything that it takes to do a tradeshow - if you are mellow all the time. You need to be creative and I have lost that edge. Soooo it is time for me to quit trying to 'do everything myself. I just can't anymore. It is hard to find people that know the business, are creative, honest & 'give a damn. Lee and Alex fit the bill & most importantly - they put up with me! It has not been easy for me not be in the middle of every little detail, but I have learned to trust their judgement. And no - they have not invested any money in the show, but I certainly hope that they will be well paid for their efforts. I do not need financing - I have not spent 30 years building and selling various business's for nothing....
Brad... i think that his not taking a stand is a great thing. Who is he to take a stand? he is a basketball player. Too many of these idiot kids playnig ball Take a stand and end up with their feet in their mouths.
he is a classy, quiet gentleman, who lets his play speak for him.
serge..there are reports that taliban's ranks are falling...
taliban soldiers looting, raping, watching Tv and listening to music in the homes of afghan citizens in its cities, under the guise of "looking for weapons"
I think Brad has a secret love for Jordan - some kind of homosexual thing.
Anyone who does not like Jordan or wishes bad things to happen to him are probably people who think the Taliban are nice guys. After all they take a stand on issues, they are not concerned about money, nor are they greedy.
Give me a break. Jordan >IS< the standard bearer for all professional atheletes.

Reuters
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Computer security experts on Monday warned of a
new virus that deletes files while masquerading as a program that will allow
people to vote on whether the United States should go to war over the Sept.
11 hijacker attacks.
The criticism about Jordan being self centered is not new. In fact, alot of it comes from the leadership of the black community. They feel as the most famous athlete in the world he could have and should have dcne alot more for black youth.
Then there's the NIKE thing.
But maybe it's not in his nature. Maybe he knows that he is just a basketball player and doesn't feel comfortable talking on issues beyong
basketball.
He is coming out of retirement because he can't find the adrenaline rush he gets competing in normal everyday life.
It will be a great thing for the NBA. He's really not that old. Playing small forward and on a team that has NOBODY else he very well could lead the league in scoring.

Colin, you are warping my views worse than I can do myself.
You make no sense. You question his motives when he is going to come and play a year and donate his entire salary to something that has affected many of us in a very deep way.
Then you say he has not done anything in the past either. Maybe children and families aren't important to you. Mine are to me.
It seems a very noble goal.
Did he turn down your request for Lobster Charity Fund?

"Michael Jordan, together with his mother, Deloris Jordan, founded
the Michael Jordan Foundation, Inc. in April 1989 to make a
difference in the communities of the Chicagoland area and North
Carolina. The Michael Jordan Education Program gave aid nationally
and internationally. The Foundation has contributed over
$6,000,000.00 to numerous charities and organizations. Fifty
students were assisted with financial aid to continue their
education. The requirement for the entrants was to improve their
grades and to work toward achieving their goals. Michael held a
luncheon in their honor. The students were flown to Chicago and
accompanied by one parent. They were presented with certificates
from Michael Jordan at the luncheon to award them for their
success."

I have never liked Jordan, ever since he "retired" the first time. Most likely it had something to do with his gambling problem.
Mike, I want the photo of me, you and Jordan , because of you, not him!
Another problem I have with Jordan is he has never taken a stand on anything. He has not used his platform for anything. He is all about himself, I am glad he is donating his check for this year, but I can not recall the last time he did anything like that. Brad ShawDeep Oral Girls

Brad I do not think Jordan is doing it for the money - he is not broke. YOU would do it for the money... do not assume everyone is like you.
Jordan likes competition, and he defined himself through basketball - and thus he wants to see if he can do it again.
Iverson and Kobe might be able to school Jordan now - but neither could hold a candle to him in his prime.
Jordan dominated back when there was great competition in the league - now the league is pitiful.
Brad, I think your friend Evan said it right - Stop being a player hater!!! hahaha
Sine you dislike Jordan so much, should I cancel the copies of the photos being made?

Disappointed to see Jordan come back. Once again proves he is all about the $. Of course he can donate his salary to charity, but he will make his true $ through endorsements and the value of the Wizards increasing.
I hope Kobe and Iverson show him he is old, and the Wizards do not make the playoffs.

Michael Jordan makes it OFFICIAL!
He's BAAAAAAAAACK! And he's giving his entire year's salary to the charities associated with the attacks on America.
It's going to make for a great NBA season. They are all going to go after him, to beat the legend, McGrady, Kobe,Iverson, Vince, one on one.
And his team with or without him SUCKS. I wish him luck tho.
"Fay took you as a partner because she is not sure that she makes money on it, she needed no partners before when times were good."
You can pick on Alex.. he is fair game but lets deal in facts ;-)
Fay, like you, is more "mature" now, tired and wanted to semi Retire.
I live in Vegas, Adultdex is in Vegas and I wanted to play with this show to see what it can become in a couple years. This year is only a start. It won't change over night but it will be different.
Someday I hope you will come enlighten us in person. I keep offering.
