[RollTideFan] Happy Father's Day
Happy Father's Day to all you Dad's out there. My hope for you is that your children grow up to love you as much you love them. Also, don't forget your own Dad today. You will surely miss him when he's gone.

Re: [RollTideFan] Happy Father's Day
I lost my Dad 2 years ago my life hasn't been the same since. He was my hero. I realized then that no one will ever love me as much as he did. He was the one that taught me passion about BAMA football. Of course, in our younger days, he would get pissed throw the radio across the room when they screwed up we would have to wait until the next day to find out the outcome of the game. I've come a long way since then, ha ha. I only hope that when we're all gone, our children have the wonderful memories that I do. We should all cherish Father's Day Mother's Day as well. God Bless all the Dad's Mom's. - Original Message - From: kurt rasmussen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 15, 2003 10:45 AM Subject: Re: [RollTideFan] Happy Father's Day Pat Smoot wrote: Happy Father's Day to all you Dad's out there.

[RollTideFan] Cat's in the cradle ...
http://espn.go.com/page2/s/caple/030613.html Cat's in the cradle ... By Jim Caple Page 2 columnist We can't all be batboys for our fathers in a major league dugout. We can't all play in a major league outfield with our old man. We can't all phone dad and ask for first-hand advice on getting drafted by the NBA. But that doesn't mean our fathers don't play crucial roles in our sports development. Darren Baker Very few of us get to live the life of Darren Baker. They threw us batting practice until their rotator cuffs smoked like Bulgarian bus drivers. They yelled at the umpire to get his eyes examined after he called us out looking on a strike right down the middle. They poured so many snow cones that even now, years later, they still leave deep red fingerprints on a countertop. They ran out of gas driving around the block repeatedly while searching for a free parking spot rather than fork over $10 for a lot across the street from the stadium. They sneaked so many bags of peanuts into the ballpark that the ushers asked when the baby was due. They bought us tickets in the back row of the bleachers and still were able to point out so many fine details of the batter that it was like sitting next to Vin Scully. On crisp fall Saturday mornings, they walked us across campus before the game, pointing out the buildings and humming the school fight song until it was stuck in our heads like the Oscar Mayer wiener jingle. On weekday nights, they told our mothers that we were heading right to bed, then winked and let us stay up to watch the final innings of the World Series. On Sunday afternoons, they collapsed on the couch and ordered us to get the potato chips between plays. They bought us our first gloves, shoulder pads, caps, Air Jordans, balls and hockey sticks. They marched off 60 feet, 6 inches along the side of the house, nailed the basketball hoop to the garage, flooded the backyard for the hockey rink and installed outdoor lighting so we could play night games. They handed out so many orange wedges at soccer practice that Sunkist invited them to the annual stockholders meeting. In short, they helped us love sports even though they grew hoarse insisting that the games and the players were better in the old days. We can't thank them enough for that -- and considering the gifts we buy them each Fathers Day, it appears that we don't even try. Maybe this year will be different. Maybe this year we'll find a suitable present that adequately expresses our appreciation. Maybe this year we'll find a gift that pays the smallest fraction of the debt we owe our fathers. But probably, we'll just send a card. In the meantime, here's a look at fathers in sports ... Best father/son pairs: 5. Secretariat and Risen Star. The 1973 Triple Crown winner sired the 1988 Preakness and Belmont winner. 4. Joe and Kobe Bryant. An eight-year NBA veteran, Jellybean averaged 8.7 points per game, but his biggest contribution to basketball is one of the greatest players in the game. 3. Bobby and Brett Hull. Bobby scored 610 goals and is in the Hall of Fame. Brett will join him, having scored his 700th goal this season. 2. Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr. How's this for understatement? On the back of Ken Sr.'s 1986 Topps baseball card is this gem: Ken and his wife have two sons.'' 1. Bobby and Barry Bonds. They have nearly 1,000 home runs and 1,000 stolen bases, more than 2,700 RBIs and more than 3,000 runs, more than 4,000 hits and nearly 3,000 walks. And if those totals aren't impressive enough, remember that Willie Mays is Barry's godfather. The Bonds family doesn't have a family tree. They have the entire redwoods. John Henry Williams A moment frozen in time -- just like dear old Dad. Worst offspring of pro player: John Henry Williams. It wasn't bad enough that he used his father's right hand as his personal cash machine. Or that he turned him into the world's largest Popsicle after his death. No, the worst part is the shameless way he used his father's fame to get a minor league spot last summer (when he went 0-for-6 and cracked three ribs chasing a foul ball) and in the Northern League this spring (where he went hitless and struck out five times in seven at-bats) and with yet another minor league team last week at age 34. Worst sports fathers: 3. Felipe de Jesus Almonte. Celebrated son Danny's eighth birthday by giving him an electric razor. 2. Marv Marinovich. Do you think Todd ever had a single moment of fun on the football field? 1. Jim Pierce. We could name any of about a dozen tennis fathers, but Pierce's relationship with his daughter, Mary, is so ugly that he is banned from watching her play and there is a restraining order preventing him from getting too close to her. Biggest blowhard: 1. Earl Woods. This is an actual quote from father Woods (who, by the way, claims telepathy with Tiger): He will transcend the game and bring to the world a humanitarianism which has
