I don't see the pizza being a big seller, but everything else makes it worth the trip!

I'll have to pop the address in to Yahoo Maps to see where it is in relation to the WWSports Complex and the hotel.

Thanks for the offer but the wife will be with me and we've already got a pretty full schedule of football, shopping, Sea World, Warbirds Air Museum, and more shopping (3 Nike factory outlets, ya know). If I tell her I'm meeting an AH'er I'll either get a look like this:

or this:

Laugh all you want, but some items caught my eye:

Buffalo Chicken
Hand breaded chicken breast coated in spicy Buffalo wing sauce and served with chunky bleu cheese dressing, lettuce and tomato on a sesame seed bun.

Hold the dressing and this is a winner.

Philly Cheesesteak Panini
Grilled steak with roasted red peppers and sautéed onions topped with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise on focaccia.

Hold the mayo and this could be a runner-up.

Rockin n' Rollin
A scoop of vanilla ice cream and a scoop of chocolate chip ice cream smothered in fudge, marshmallows and chocolate chips, covered with whipped cream and a cherry.

The Dusty Road
Mickey D's version of a traditional recipe. Two scoops of chocolate chip ice cream covered in rich hot fudge and dusted with malt, whipped cream and a cherry.

If you don't hear from me by Monday, its because I'm dead of a heart attack on I-4.

Too bad there's no key lime pie offered. I'd be all over that.

The Nike is for me. She gets Liz Claiborne and such like that. Also on my list of hits is the Reebok and adidas, assuming I have any cash left on our way out of town.

And the kicker: the training camp tix are hers. The company she works for has a luxury box at the stadium. Lux box owners were sent tickets to the training camp. The people where she works know that she follows football so they slid a couple of passes her way. I'm guessing its some sort of muckety-much VIP tent or something because it requires parking passes and what-not.

A couple of years ago I set up a football picks grid with a buddy of mine and invited her to join. She knew the teams and some of the marquee players, but that was about it. Her first year, she kicked our butts. Her strategy was simple: if she'd heard of the team, she picked them to win. This was when San Francisco, Miami, NYJets, Dallas, Pittsburgh, and Green Bay were all strong teams. Since then, she's taken the time to learn more about the teams and game. Now its not uncommon for her to yell from the couch "Hey! That's pass interference!" or "He lined up off-sides!" and be right. She hasn't quite gotten the illegal formation rule yet, though.

Hey, did they ever open up those "Sports Dominator" stores again? Last time I was there the owner was involved in some federal investigation or something. May have been illegal immigration or murder charges or something like that. I remember it was big-time and all the stores had big yellow "Crime Scene" tape over the doorways.

Thats great Gofaster.

My Mother was a huge sports fan. Mostly Notre Dame football and Cubs baseball. She often made the USC-Notre Dame football games locally, and always wore her ND hard hat (silver and covered in stickers) to the game. She could rattle off the double play combinations on the Cubbies going back to the early 40's.

Dang...you got a good woman there..

Those are long gone I believe. Yeah, I'm a TB fan.. and my co-worker is a Miami fan so we have a good time yelling at each other.
