UC is certainly not a leisurely walk from Newport. Walk up traffic implies after-thought. Going to Newport to take in a sport you might only be mildly interested in would require significantly more effort than deciding to wander over to a soccer match because it just so happens to be there. If your success depends on…

The importance of walk-up traffic cannot be overstated here. If this Stadium goes up in Newport you’ll lose almost all of it. Getting from UC to Newport isn’t particularly easy. Also, there are other cities bidding that have at least some public support for a new stadium ala Indianapolis, why would the MLS want to set…

Yeah the last time I saw a news report about him, it made a point to say he gets a lot by going to BP. I got to a game early with no intention of watching BP, I was over the left field wall and had about 10 land within a few seats of me, so this guys “collection” is even less impressive than it even seems on first…

Hey man, there’s like, a half a dozen Tattered Covers in Denver. So, like, uh...clarification, please?

How would it help them avoid the CC fees if they’re still transacting with your debit card? They’re paying 2.3% to swipe the money from your Visa debit card the same as if it were your credit card. If they were just doing ACH transfers from your account, that would make way more sense.

“and cannot possibly stay in the Reds’ rotation”

I can’t fault Holtmann one bit, I wish him well. But I’ve pretty much reached the end of my rope with my Alma Mater and their unwillingness to pay their coaches enough so they don’t wander off every 3-4 years. For fucks sake, Basketball is the only reason people have any clue who Butler is, one of these days our luck…

The dock where my dad kept his boat had vending machine with a blank button on it. Highschool me and my best friend at the time discovered the blank button was beer. Also that said button was broken, so you had a period of time between when you dropped the $0.50 and when the thing started vending where you got as many…

there’s a 24 hour Steak n Shake at 38th and High School!

There’s a Union Jack pub at like, 25th and Crawfordsville. That place is pretty money. But you can just go to Broad Ripple, I suppose

Ruby was found chained in a garage, she had skin disease so bad the majority of her fur had sloughed off, but she’s better now. Ruby is a good dog and approves of your support.

The Red’s are named as such because they were around before teams had names. They were just the Cincinnati Professional Base Ball Club, but when the newspapers went to write up the games they needed to come up with a shorter way of explaining who they were, so teams were noted by a defining characteristic. In this…

People don’t get Saabs, I don’t think. It took me a couple months to sell my ‘08 9.3, I only wanted $2K for it. Granted it needed a new CIM but I still felt like I would get a few easy offers at $2K. Alas, I already miss it.

They’re just trying to pad their AFC participant banner count...GLORY BOYS!

Damn, I actually like Eammon Brennan, one of the few even keeled voices in college ball. Hopefully he ends up at CBS or Fox.

Don’t be surprised if a lot of Sheraton’s suddenly become Marriott’s or Westins in the nearish future, at least domestically. It’s the only brand within the Marriott portfolio that is both seriously lagging behind and ultimately a triplet, there’s no reason to have three relatively similar brands when one is clearly a…

Almost every hotel you can think of can be franchised. No mater how high up the food chain. For instance the JW Marriott in Indianapolis and Austin are managed by the same company, I think their ownership groups are different, but the managers are the same.

You’re somehow an anti-bandwagoner if you started being a Mariner’s fan post-Griffey and stuck with it. Every asshole kid in my school was a Mariners “fan” exclusively because of Griffey, then they all decided they were “home town” sports fans when he came to Cincy.

I’m such a wishy washy fucker with the whole band wagon thing...
