nick gerber of Fox football friday

[scorpio81]

said he would shave his head (on the show) if liverpool beat arsenal...

dunno if anybody caught that...


who here thinks he'll carry that out? :-)

[PZ]

Nick is the Liverpool fan. Steven Cohen is the Chelsea fan who said he'd shave his head. I actually spoke with Steven yesterday and offered him my clippers for the job. He sounded like he was gonna do it.

[JTorres]

With so many folks sporting the bald look, it's not such a bet payoff to shave your head (Unless you're Carlos Valderrama or somebody with long locks). Maybe it would be more of a payoff to refrain from shaving for three months or refrain from a haircut for a year.

[nyrmetros]

Nick and Steven both said they were in the army? So the trauma of the bald look shouldn't be that unbearable.....

[Stephen1164]

Who's army the Queen's army?

[Eddie26]

Who's army the Queen's army?

No, both fought for the US of A. Believe it or not.

[nyrmetros]

No, both fought for the US of A. Believe it or not.
Really? I'd like to hear more about this.

[BigSoccer Radio]

Yup, its true.

I was in the 82nd Airborne Div (infantry - recon. scout) and Steven was in the 101st Airborne (Infantry).

Nick.

[nyrmetros]

Yup, its true.

I was in the 82nd Airborne Div (infantry - recon. scout) and Steven was in the 101st Airborne (Infantry).

Nick.
Wow. If I may ask, how the hell did 2 blokes from England wind up in the US Military? Props to both of you anyway.

[RandyNA74]

Yup, its true.

I was in the 82nd Airborne Div (infantry - recon. scout) and Steven was in the 101st Airborne (Infantry).

Nick.
Guess that explains some of the swipes you guys give each other. :D

[Stephen1164]

Yup, its true.

I was in the 82nd Airborne Div (infantry - recon. scout) and Steven was in the 101st Airborne (Infantry).

Nick.

How did that happen? Were you both Drafted or Drunk when you joined? Either way Thanks for protecting the American Empire.

[Liv'poolFaninAZ]

Actually that happens more that some people may think, I was in the U.S. Marines '90-'94 and I met at least 2 guys who were English, yet they were serving in OUR military! I thought it was pretty cool! A few other buddies of mine had dual Citizenship with Canada/U.S. and at least 3 of my buddies were Mexican nationals who were undocumented but became citizens while in the Corps.

Funny how I was surrounded by all these ppl for whom football (soccer) was their passion, and they got me hooked on it!

[Fur Elise]

Looks like Steven and Nick joined up for the green card. :)

[jamison]

Oliver's Army indeed. :D

[superdave]

Yup, its true.

I was in the 82nd Airborne Div (infantry - recon. scout) and Steven was in the 101st Airborne (Infantry).

Nick.
No offense, but I'm having a hard time imagining the Liverpool fan having been in the 82nd.

[nyrmetros]

No offense, but I'm having a hard time imagining the Liverpool fan having been in the 82nd.
No offense, but I still have trouble imagining my friend loading ammo into the turret of a tank in Iraq 8 months ago. But he did it.

[jamison]

The fact that I spent 6 months in ROTC with an offer of a GI scholarship is proof positive that they take various and sundry people into the Army. Doris Kearns Goodwin's kid just graduated Harvard, and is leading a tank column through the desert. I had a CO that once led a platoon of people given the option of army or jail (minor offenses), and chose the Army.

I find it strange that Nick was in the US army of all things, but not impossible to believe. Surely no more curious than being a Liverpool fan ( :p , go gunners).

On to important stuff, which one of you (Nick, Steven) is the bigger Smiths fan?

[superdave]

I wasn't referring to his psyche or anything, but his (lack of) physical conditioning.

[jamison]

Yeah, but 10 years ago or so?

Maradona was skinny once too, ya know.

(Hopefully steve's done a bit less of the nose candy.)
