...Hughes Catering, a very successful local catering company(you can imagine), who recently bought the infamous Shooter's Restaurant & Bar on the Intracoastal Waterway, and comepletely renovated it into a classy establishment. I'm sure a few of you know about Shooter's, lol. … https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5bW9E6hvq8Q/maxresdefault.jpg
Too many famous people to count, attend this...Recognize these two?... They both actually live here. http://www.gossipextra.com/wp-conten...Parade-1-1.jpg
Crazy, Right? (i'll stop now)https://images1.browardpalmbeach.com.../8422257.0.jpg
had a few in Shooters over the years each time I was there
Again Fuji—- I’ve never seen anything like it !
Afraid I’m not up with celebrities and film stars these days—— closest I get to a “Showpiece”, is SERRA and SEEBOLD !
My daughter and son inlaw were on the 3rd boat in last nights parade. They have an in with a promoter and usually wind up in the parade.
I neglected to also mention that the 57th Annual Pompano Beach/Lighthouse Point Boat Parade was just the night before, on the 13th! Wild month is South Florida. Won't bore you with too many photo's...lol:smiletest:https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...f6&oe=5E78F341

Well Fuji— I don’t know what I did to Deserve all those technicolour piccies—- but bugger me— they were impressive, thanks.
One of the things that pisses me right off at the moment——- women commentators!!!
Especially when they are talking —Rugby—- football—- American Football ! They make absolute idiots of themselves—- screeching and cackling.
I have not heard one single female that even comes close to ANY man commentating football!
maybe it’s the voice being two octaves higher—- I just know they all make a pigs ear of it—- forget the PC side of it———— they're not right—— it doesn’t work—- they are lousy at men’s football.
Maybe they should try women’s soccer or rugby —- even tiddlywinks—— but keep away from trying to do a mans job!
I cannot be the only one who thinks this!
Have been told men don't listen anyway, so it may not matter who does the commentating! ;)
Seriously now, credibility is key. If a person once played/participated in a sport, and happens to be talented with a microphone in hand, they're not usually considered another talking head - be it a man or woman. If a woman who obviously never played the game, yet gets put in the commentators chair, she has to be very articulate, very prepared, and be quick and accurate with solid questions and comments. Most I've known have worked exceptionally hard to earn their place at a network.
You've likely come across a few women who did - or could do - a great job in calling a boat race. Danika Patrick did well commentating at some Indy Car races last season... I'm sure Marit Stromoy or Tammy Wolf could offer much to boost our sport if they choose to do so someday.
Anyway Jackie, your thoughts are based on at who does a better job than another at a football or rugby match - and that's another game altogether.. Who can draw the most viewers wins out.
Cheers.
Jackie, I got to thinking about several other fine, intelligent women who participated in our sport - some by competing, like Gina Campbell and Fiona Brothers, and some who helped take boat racing to a higher level through their journalistic talent - namely Ros Knott and Zoe Trumper. These ladies knew our game inside out and were unafraid to call it like they saw it. They were just as passionate about racing as any of us - and clearly more sensitive to the dangers.
Having recently re-read some of their written commentary on the '84/85 F1 and FONDA series', they were straight forward and analytical in their reports/ articles - which no doubt rustled feathers, a good thing for driver safety and the betterment of the sport in general.
I digress (once again) - weaving off-topic here ... this has nothing to do with commentators at Football games, but that's what I like about this forum - memories surface of people and places we may never see again.
