Kevin lemme know if you want to switch to Dish, I'd split the $50 referral with you.

Wow. I really appreciate the time you're putting in here, but there's just a fundamental misunderstanding on your part. I have Dish Network, a satellite television content provider. While I admit that yes, there is a cable from the dish into my home, there is most specifically NOT a CABLE from the utility pole outside…

It's unwise to piss of a Titan, but Jake Locker had already been turned to stone.

I could be wrong but I don't think Alex Henery had much to do with the Lions D collapsing entirely and allowing Buffalo to breeze downfield for the TD and the 2 point conversion. The Bills looked like Richard Gere in Days of Heaven floating through a golden field of wheat.

Riesling. Riesling Riesling Riesling. Not just any old fermented whatever, but some Gott's-gift-to-pork proper Riesling. Alsatian is classic, German is good if it's not white-grape soda syrup, be picky with Finger Lakes labels and surprise yourself with undiscovered wonderfulness.

It's great how you could put a couple of modern cameras in those same spot, and make them black and white, and it'd look pretty much the same.

Most pools are full of idiots anyway.

Fitzpatrick: I'm not a man of many words! I hate pleonasm, despise verbosity, and detest loquaciousness! I'm not going to practice circumlocution here, fellows, nor try to pass off some periphrasis as hortatory rhetoric! No! All the vainglory and speechifying—I'll leave that to others! What I want to say is LET'S GET…

The sad irony of this, of course, is that Taylor's death had at least as much to do with him being a millionaire who lived in a big house as it had to do with him being a young black man. That is to say, the guys were robbing the house because it was big and they figured there'd be lots of valuable shit in it. …

BuzzBallz are sad.

Bill Gramatica: /cracks open the champagne

Minus the alleged assault, this is basically every meal with my family.

Thanks for the great Django song. I rarely run into anyone who knows who he was or appreciates his music.

Perhaps his finest composition, Dickey Betts named "Jessica" after his infant daughter. But he wrote it as a tribute to the greatest of all the Gypsy Jazz musicians, Django Reinhardt, who lost the use of two fingers when his hand was badly burned in a fire. Betts wrote the song because it can be played with only two…
