DB, I hate to tell you this but that BS buzzer must refer to you.............it rings all of the time. It is you my friend, I heard it everytime you said something in Houston. Thanks for helping me figure it out.

Always proud to be a Bronco.

Touche' Acer. I barely talked to you, had no opportunity, you were doing all the talking...... at Phil all while you were bugging players parents.

CEO's don't design product, Dip. They approve business plans.

I have no idea if this guy is a good get or a bad one at this point. Nobody does. But lets face it, the 'car guys' we had running the show the last couple of decades WEREN'T getting the job done. Say what you will, but we've gone from 38% market share down to about 23% in the time I've been with GM. Hardly inspiring.

We need a guy at the top who knows what profit and loss is all about. Wagner sure as hell didn't. We see the results.

Dip, I work for GM. I go in every day and do a job. I have NO perception that Washington is trying to push an agenda on us, not at all.

Our business plan is about designing/developing/building product that the consumers want and that can provide us with a profit. That has not changed ONE IOTA.

The only 'push' we're getting out of Washington is to get profitable as quickly as possible so they can sell their stock and recoup their investment.

Word of advice-don't take Limbaugh or Hannity comments about GM as gospel. They don't know what the hell their talking about, which is typical for those two. I listen to Hannity spout off about Washington running GM while driving home from work just to get a laugh

Unfair, Acer. I know DB. DB is my friend. Unlike 99% of the folks you'll meet in your life he's the genuine article. What you see is what you get with DB. Believe me, I know.

Despite the no-holds-barred fencing you see in this forum between Dip and DB they are friends. And they are both my friends. When we go to Bronco functions together this hubris is set aside and we enjoy each other. It's just that politics brings out the worst in them, like most folks I imagine.

How the f@ck could he hear anything I said? I came down to Houston from living at six thousand feet, tolerance is nearly double for us when we go down to sea level, we didn't imbibe very much/often at the game, and at the hotel the beer wasn't flowing through me like it was others. I saw who was bs quite clearly.

There, I said it.

LOL! I'm going to remember that when you start assessing talent. Your memory is spotty.

Good grief, Charlie Brown, er BP. This economy and GM's problem is ruining your sense of humor. I know that the three of you are great friends, you've each said is as much on the various sites numerous times.

Lighten up, football starts in a couple of months.

Always proud to be a Bronco.

We need a football game, no question!

I have to head to Europe week after next to tie up some loose ends on some hybrid projects. After that it's only one trip to the far east and I'm all set for travel for the year-barring an emergency.

Am planning on making 4 home games this year. And maybe EMU if we play them in Ypsi.

BP there are only five home games this year. Why not make it a perfect season? That way you could check out the Grand Rapids tailgate area.

Always proud to be a Bronco.

Ok, but you're welcome to stop by the GR tailgate area, the little theatre parking lot for a beer. I'm there for at least an hour after the game.

Always proud to be a Bronco.
