Wouldn't TRed have to make his own ball?
He does strike me as that kinda guy.
Jeff.... I agree about Pete Rose... he should be in the hall of fame. This coming from a lifelong, pretty hardcore baseball fan. He made mistakes and those are to be learned from.. but as a player, he was phenomenal.
Just as a sidebar: Anyone remember reading/hearing about what some of the tribes of Native Americans required as far as marksmenship/accuracy out of their boys before they let them take any deer with one?

Tony I asked a question I knew FULL WELL was gonna be tough (for most)to answer.
Guilty.
Fishing? Nah.....It's like asking people if Pete Rose was the greatest base hitter the game has ever known. The numbers don't lie.....but peoplevery much dislikedhim (including me). I see this question as no different. Take away the prejudice.....and the answer is simple.

Like I said, I think they find it as amusing as you do ........ It's like a brain freeze .......it hurts SO bad when it's happening, that it feels SO good when it stops ........ makes it almost worth it

Whether you like the man or not........please answer this question objectively.
When Tred Barta says....."I like to do things MY way.....the HARD way.....the BARTA way"
Does that offend/threaten you?

I think the guy is a tool but he can do whatever he wants, it doesn't affect me in the least.

RE: Tred Barta question
Tred doesn't offend me. I actually like most of his humor. Some of it is a little dumb but in general he makes fun of himself quite a bit. Actually, although I don't care for some of the hosts on some shows, I'm glad ANY hunting show gets air time. Hosts can't please everyone nor expect everyone to like them. I understand they have to be a little over the top because they wouldn't last if they were just plain vanilla all of the time. I admire Tred for doing it "the hard way". I've never heard him preach that he was better or anyone else should be doing it his way. That's just the way he does it and he's happy with it. Good for him.

Jeff .... I find no fault in it ..... it's actually quite amusing ... I can picture you sitting back and pointing to the computer ...."Hey Lisa, look at all the suckers I caught today"
It wasn't my goal....to "catch" anyone. I asked an admittedly tough question....knowing it would be hard to separate the man from the statement.No "trolling", though.

RE: Tred Barta question
Threatened,that would be a large NO!
Offended,probably yes,I am concerned about non hunters take on him! I don't want to be lumped with someone who is irresponsible and brash.
Amused,most definitely!!! There is more to being the real deal than just stating you are! In fact if you have to attempt to convince anyone that you are,you aren't!
