The last few bits of info I've seen on it seem to have more people supporting it than against it, but that also could be because a lot of that info is coming out on PR Newswire from Sirius and XM. Stock price on Sirius has come up in the last couple of weeks, maybe gaining 65 cents/share in the last...

I can't see how you can't include Tony Gwynn on that list of the top 5. The man had one of the sweetest swings in the history of the game, and he has one of the highest career batting averages since the end of WW2.

Roy's is good. It is a Hawaiian infusion place on East Flamingo about 2.5 blocks east of the strip. I haven't been in the one in Vegas, but the one here in Atlanta is marvelous.

The trick is, no matter what numbers you pick, as long as it is a 2 digit number, you are going to get one of a certain group of numbers which are multiples of 9 (9, 18, 27, etc.) Notice that each of these numbers is the same symbol. When you hit the crystal ball and get a symbol and then go back to...

One of my favorites, from Vegas Vacation:

I think it has happened; they announced it on the Braves/Reds game about 10 minutes ago, although I thought they said it was Kendall and cash for Barrett.

I could have sworn the Cubs moved Barrett after the dugout incident with Zambrano back in May/June.

phpBB as a website Bulletin Board

I am sure this question is best asked to the site admins, but I'll toss it out here to everyone in case others have had experience with it. I'm looking to add a discussion board to a website I maintain, and I am considering using phpBB - the setup used here on BN. From an end user perspective this i...

The Beach Boys have released a good many albums, although not all of them are of new material. Some albums (Endless Summer; Made in USA) were grandios greatest hits albums. Deep Purple has 40+ albums, but again some are best of/greatest hits. Lata Mangeshkar of India has like somewhere in the neighb...

Maybe in the couple of years leading up to the Margaritaville Casino we can start a grassroots movement to have Jimmy play the Hard Rock locations. Myrtle Beach, the Velvet Underground room at Hard Rock Atlanta, the Hard Rock Live in Biloxi, etc.

Wishful thinking anyway.

My desktop monitor is either a 17or 19 inch normal flatscreen, don't remember the exact size, but it is nearly 3 years old now. Not the best in the world, but I can't complain.

Preseason rankings don't mean squat anymore. It is simply a way to sell magazines. For one thing, the publications keep releasing their preseason rankings earlier and earlier, trying to get a jomp on the competition. If you are going to get a good read on how a team will play in the fall, you need t...

I don't see Florida repeating, but I could be wrong. I just don't see Tebow being able to handl e that offense every snap as well as Leak did. I think LSU will be the team to reckon with in the SEC, I think most of their big games are in Baton Rouge this year. UGA has the potential to bame a run not...
