    Should the U.S. get rid of the Penny?

    They cost more than they are worth, they smell, they're annoying...No i'm not talking about Comcast Installers again, I'm talking about the freaking PENNY. Damn things cost 1.7 cents to make, they're EVERYWHERE, and they serve very little usage in the modern day. I realize we're not ready to...

    PPV Commercials getting louder?

    Over the past few weeks i've had to run into my living room to turn down the tv because Dish PPV commercials come on and they're about twice as loud as any other show/commercial out there. Plus the terrible "punk music" background doesn't help. Anyone else notice this? The Kelly Slater...

    2 Issues

    1) Spam is kind of heavy today. Is it normal amounts or is there perhaps a new hole in vb3.5.4 that they're exploiting? Any update to the 3.6 timetable? 2) Quoting seems messed up. Before it would quote the whole message, including quoting previous messages. Now it removes all the 3rd...

    Your NBA Starting 5

    Enough of the discussions and comparisons, let's just put down our Starting 5 and have at it. See where we stand. Must have 5 Starters, 2 guards, 2 forwards and 1 Center. Must have been in the league last season (this is not all-time, this is current players). Also name 3 guys that would...

    I have an unhealthy obsession...

    Everytime "The Rock" or "Con Air" is on tv, I fight with myself to not turn it on. Most of the time I lose unless something else is on but oddly enough, there is almost never anything else on. It's become unhealthy since i've seen these movies SO many times. I'm watching "The Rock" right now...

    Changes to Sports Blackout Information...

    I noticed this morning (saturday) that on the 2nd ESPN alternate channel, it actually tells you in the description: "FIFA World Cup Soccer Germany vs. Sweden Sports: Only Available in Sacramento, Stockton and Modesto DMA's" I find that to be pretty helpful and thought some others may...

    Isiah Thomas does it again...

    Isiah Thomas just fired Larry Brown and named himself Head Coach. Guess he watched some of the Finals and had a brain storm... Sadly Isiah's brainstorms are more like hurricanes. Lot's of blowing wind, and it leaves everything in it's path destroyed... Sorry Knicks fans, it's going to...

    Roethlisberger in motorcycle accident

    Big Ben pulled a winslow this morning, more on this as it develops... Weird because he was on Mike & Mike at 8:30 this morning and was in very good spirits for such an early hour... Steeler fans, cross your fingers. Browns fans, rejoice, as you may no longer have the worst QB in the...

    RIP John "Earthquake" Tenta

    John Tenta, better known to most of us as WWE Wrestling "Earthquake" in the 80's and 90's, passed away from his battle with Bladder Cancer on June 7th. He was 42. Really heart-breaking cancer story, it just hit him and kept hitting him, it lever let up on a man I've never heard a bad thing...

    Site is really buggy - 5/30

    The site has been slow from time to time this morning, and for the last minute wouldn't load anything at all. Ler, you want to have a look at things if you're not already doing so? Edit: Seems to have resolved now, about 10 minutes later. Someone can close this if they wish.

    Barry Bonds

    714 He's tied the babe. Even if you think he was on roids and even if you think he's a dick, he just tied Babe Ruth...BABE FREAKING RUTH. Amazing. I don't think he'll get to 755 but he'll get 715 and have second place.

    OMG, did you guys hear Ozzie Guillen talking about interleague baseball this weekend? They asked him if he was excited to play the cubs and he said "F*** the cubs...", classic... If he wasn't kissing guys every time I saw him and didn't coach the freaking White Sox i'd have just gained a lot...

    Anyone having random, short video dropouts?

    I've noticed over the past week or so that about twice a day my 110 signal just drops for no reason. No storms in the area, no trees in that direction, but it puts up the "acquiring signal" screen for a few seconds. Goes back to live tv. Goes back to "Acquring signal"...back to live...

    Who will draft Marcus Vick?

    Forget his "talent", who in the world would draft this kid? He's NOTHING but trouble and that last stunt he pulled is the most unsportmanlike thing you can do on the field besides chop block. I wonder if Romo was his hero or something. You don't f**king get up and stomp on the tackler's leg...

    Countdown to January 9th...

    Anyone try to listen to David Lee Roth this week? I turned it off within 2 minutes because he had already contradicted himself...It was an hour into the show, did he really need to be ranting already?
