The word of God is not grandstanding. My calling in life talking to kids about the mistakes I made and talking about becoming a Christian at 45 in no ways has been grandstanding . 2.) You know that I was DOA on a car wreck before the bluebonnet bowl in 86 right? You do know that I was out of school for 3 years learning how to walk, run and function normally right? You know that I had a subdural hematoma that required me to learn how to read and write again right? You do know I was told I would never graduate from college because of the head injury right and I did. As far as your cheap shots about me, which you know nothing about other than second hand gossip.
If you did, you would know that I am in the oil and gas business and my family has been for 80 years.
Acting brought me a lot post football. I was part of the greatest show in American TV history in the last 50 years and played a major role in the lead character leaving the show. I don't talk about it. It has brought me a lot over the last 10 years.
As far as my time playing or better yet running the scout team while I was a freshman, I never scored the winning touchdown. I never had 100 yard games. I'm 50 and playing football in high school and college was something that I can look back on and say hey "those are great guys, I wish I hadn't got hurt so I could have contributed." Nothing more. I can't change the way you feel about me or anything I've said, but if you're going to make a comment make sure that you know what your talking about. I don't know maybe telling the truth other than an assumption. Again, YOU WERE one of my favorite BU players at one time and I saw you play when i was in junior high and high school. Our heroes are our heroes until we find out what bad guys they really are.
Scotty,
I apologize. I watched only a small portion of one of your videos a couple of years ago. I should not have classified it as grandstanding. Those that have and realize spiritual gifts should use them.
I did not know your background and misfortunes in '86. I apologize for insinuations made concerning your BU football career. I respect and admire ALL Baylor football players, managers, trainers and coaches. I know the sacrifices they have made. Even Art and The Aggie!
I occasionally go too far in trying to be entertaining and making people laugh or smile. I possess very thick skin and dish out a lot. I liken this board to sitting at George's enjoying fellowship and Big O's or sitting in Brooks Hall trading barbs with teammates. Everything goes in my world and nothing is off limits. This board has allowed me to tread close to those old times and this was one of those times and I regret it. You and I have been around each other very little and my opinions formed during those times were wrong.
I wish you only the best and have decided to back off on trying to joust so heavily with 365 posters.
