NIMBY's are a good part of the reason why Marta in Atlanta isn't expanded. If they would expand the line further east, I'd have been inclined to go to work in Atlanta. I use Marta for events at the GA Dome & Philips Arena since it's only $5.00 for a round trip as opposed to the gas it takes to get there + $20-30 for…

He went to UF...

Ravens would have given him a contract extension for his efforts off the field.

I, for one, am not surprised. I mean, look at his twitter avatar!

This is actually a positive use of Twitter. Pretty cool to see for once.

Why do we still have motor sports? Why are guns for sale? Why are motorcycles legal? Why do some schools allow peanut butter?

Just when I thought that Florida Bugs meme couldn't get any better, you knock it outta the park.
