There's also the situation of having an OLD, no-longer-available plan that's cheaper than current plans. If a new contract means you've got to get a new plan and be locked into an extra $20 over two years, that costs you $480, which might be more expensive than just buying a phone outright and sticking with the plan…

It's weird, right? I guess it's just a small-market/small-staff thing.

You guys are terrific. Thanks.

What channel was that on?

It's not bad, but he's just reading lines from the movie.

I'd put money on it being good. But it's really a taste issue.

Hehehe. It was a TelePrompTer (real spelling) control.

Did you write this in 2004 and just hit send?

Nobody complains when Peyton Manning does the same thing for 15 years.

Cool story, bro.

You should totally sign up.

I don't know if you've been to North Dakota, but I think there's ample time for silliness while still hearing everything going on around town.

Whoa! A guy who actually worked in local TV news is right here! There are FAR more people who WANT to work in it than there all jobs. You must be a real life celebrity!

We're all very impressed.

That was fun!

Am I the only non-Panthers, non-Patriots fan who just thinks that was the right call? Giving the Patriots a near-freebie touchdown to win the game on a penalty that didn't look like it affected the play would have me feeling cheated as a viewer.

Zing!

I'm a Chiefs fan and I want Peyton Manning to be healthy. I want to see the Chiefs take on the best and let whatever happens happen.

Wow, my great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandad sounding off! Grampa Calhoun, ya' rascal. I disagreed with you on the slavery thing, but you make a decent point here.
