    Why would I hit a pothole? Am I now blind? First am stupid for falling for trick. Now blind for not seeing what is in front of me. Also how loose is your quick release. My tire would pop before quick relase comes loose....

    last clue, only QB to have a city & state named after him....

    The State wasn't named after him. (He does have the same name, however).

    Ismay was renamed Joe as a publicity stunt but the main road sign still says Ismay.

    Close. The greatest QB, never had a single SB loss, unlike Elway & his 2 losses (1 of them to greatest QB). He was near perfect in the SB, not a single INT. He & his coach made an offensive system so popular that most teams know copy it.

    He also had an awesome come from behind win on Monday night football in Denver while playing for KC....

    last clue, only QB to have a city & state named after him....

    I'm think about the guy who casued me to mentally block-out a huge SB loss. I just remember some bloke kept throwing TD's, Damn Joe Montana. I suppose he was a reasonable QB 🙂
    It was very wrong to see him in a KC uniform.

    That is something I have had happen to me many times this summer. I still would not look. I know the sound & feel when it happens....

    It was a shame the way SF treated him in the end. That back stabbing Young. But they got what they deserved. A QB (young) who continued to live in Montana's shadow & choke in big games (could not beat Green Bay in play-offs).

    Then Montana joined a great team. He followed his offensive co-ordinator to KC. He turned the team around, brought excitement to AFC. Look at how good they are now.

    Both SF & KC were steps away from meeting in the SB.....

  8. It's a good question. What I find funny is how different areas and climates affect things like this. Overall it is an interesting topic. I'm pretty sure it can have to do with the level of how serious someone is about what they are doing. It's not something to take personally. It is more or less the individual being in a zone. Visual or concentration sort of state. Whether it is achieving a goal or something like this.
    This one guy here in the beginning of the thread is talking about being ashamed of it as it is snobbery. I'm sure to some it does come across that way but again it is more of a serious zone than the other. Another I will agree with to say hello or Gday as he says at a reasonable speed. A gesture at least if stopping.
    It actually really boils down to mental reaction time. Being in your zone or mind can cause a slow reaction. Another says there that they say hello but not hello back; that certainly is extremely slow mental reaction time.
    Another one here is talking about runners always saying hello. This is the interesting one by far because it makes sense. If you jog or run at least 2.5 hours a day, or more. You will notice a complete personality change indeed. It is astounding to experience. Friendliness jumps up ten fold. There is a mind body connection that occurs with this time frame that puts your mind in full control. Biking is different because you get this oneness with the bike itself. Running puts your in a completely different zone.

  9. Well I'm overall a friendly person so if they are looking at me at the stop I'll say hi. If they don't look like they would even care I don't both even though looks can be deceiving.
