Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Oh Spikey, Can You Please Just Act Normal...Just Once?

As I was scrolling through some of the ancient content archived here on BTSC, I stumbled across this picture, taken during the Steelers visit to the White House following their victory in SB 40:

Casey Hampton, a former Texas standout, clearly was getting along just fine with President Bush, once a Texas resident himself. Then there's Jeff Reed, looking like a goober. President Bush with a goofy expression? I think we've all grown to expect that this past 8 years. Then there's Reed. Bush seems eager to lean away from Reed, despite Reed trying to be front and center with a hand on his shoulder.

Ah, Jeff. I love you. Not as much as the ladies when you're buying drinks for the house sans attire. But I enjoy your contributions to the franchise. Just make sure you continue making kicks, because outside of your consistency on the field, you're one strange dude.

Peace out Jeff.

btw
Little help here. Who;s the player to the top left of Reed that seems to be pointing at him. I don't know if he's making fun of Reed or what, but he's chuckling at somebody.

Speaking of BTSC history
If anyone is interested, Blitz sent me a couple of links today from the very beginning of BTSC. Needless to say, he's brought it a long way since his very first post on Feb 03, 2006. I for one got quite a bit more work done before I stumbled across BTSC.

If anyone is intersted in perusing through the infant days of BTSC check it out here. Where you'll find classic stories about whether or not Randle El could be an NFL QB and why the Steelers should trade up to take LenDale White.

Wow, weird.
On that inaugural post, there's a commenter with a UID of -1.

i think
that's whats assigned to anonymous users, but now that i think about it, im not sure how one leaves a comment anonymously. Maybe an old bug that's been ironed out since then.

Genius
Who's the genius who thought to put Hampton and Reed next to Bush?  Honestly of all players to do something silly at that moment I probably think those two are the highest.  But God Bless spikey...  Keep on kicking and doing whatever else you find fun.

Hampton
apparently already knew Bush from seeing him around the Texas campus in the summers (at the gym Casey said, yah right, probably Morton's Steakhouse). I remember reading the story about how Bush would see Hampton working out and had some nickname for him, or vice versa.
