    My favorite Firestone related story?

    There was a NASCAR driver years ago, he won the big one (whatever they call it) and when asked how he felt, he said, "It's been a good year...I mean a fine year" (his tire contract was with Firestone) Still get a chuckle out of that.

    That's an incredible house/mansion. Wow.

    I think I would have felt uncomfortable too just sitting there by myself watching t.v. but it sounds like it got better after that first visit was a fluke since you went back and watched more games with him.

    I would go for it, but my commute would be ridiculous.

    Downside is, it's in Akron.

    Home of Devo though, that's a plus.
