@fineout Good to hear they were looking out for the best interests of the rank and file. Thanks.

@fineout You're saying military wants payday loans easily available-- which is tantamount to saying military personnel don't get paid well enough to meet monthly bills? Billions for defense but pennies for soldiers!

[Gerald V. Ensley Jr. @geraldensley]

@fineout Any thoughts on why? Florida grows ever more conservative?

@EricLuallen The ol' lineman from Tampa Jesuit is looking pretty good, too. It's been my observation that offensive linemen, more so than defensive linemen, shed their football weight better as they grow older.

Bad sports fans criticize on basis motivation. Their team lost b/c: "They weren't ready to play," "They didn't take opponent seriously," "They weren't focused." Fans would be furious if criticized bad day at work by accusations they weren't ready, focused or took it seriously

@WayneMcGaheeIII Broadcaster just said rule reads foul has to from behind to be flagrant

On the other hand, trying to follow the basketball on a phone screen is like trying to see the puck in hockey on TV

On one hand, I continue to be amazed by technology. Wife: "The game's on." Me: "I know. I'm watching on my phone."

This seems counterintuitive at first, but not if you think about it: According to Golf Digest, a new driver will improve your distance 6-10 yards when hit on the center spot -- but will improve your distance 9-13 yards on mis-hits

@IraSchoffel Interesting remark by FSU head coach Willie Taggart that his go-to song for triumph is Phil Collins' "Something in the Air Tonight." Take that, Collins-haters.

I always thought actress Ashley Judd was one of the most beautiful women in the world -- but I'll never tell her that now!

[Gerald V. Ensley Jr. @geraldensley]

@botyler2014 Probably true. But 32 teams will play only one game.

@KarlEtters Luckily, he didn't lose his connections while he was up the river.

[Gerald V. Ensley Jr. @geraldensley]

Pretty damn good game by FSU to lose by 2 points to No. 2 team in nation. Especially for not scoring field goal in last 10 minutes

[Gerald V. Ensley Jr. @geraldensley]

Don't hear that much: "FSU staying in this game at the free throw line"

[Gerald V. Ensley Jr. @geraldensley]

@skipfoster Not sure I understand exactly the conversation about who asked whom about playing thru -- but the par-3 No. 14 is a good place to let someone play thru especially if he's just a single. But Alva is usually straight w people.

Virginia is like water on stone: It takes a while but the stone eventually wears down

Hey, sports fans: "different" is redundant. 9 different Seminoles are simply 9 Seminoles. Something didn't happen 9 different times. It happened 9 times

[Gerald V. Ensley Jr. @geraldensley]

@EricLuallen You mean the FREE Watch ESPN

[Gerald V. Ensley Jr. @geraldensley]

@fineout I'd fire my attorney if he didn't say that. Might also fire him for damning me w faint praise: "Scott Maddox has been a good and decent commissioner." Please, you'll make him blush
