    Any vedolyne owners?

    I have a SPL-1200 which I have had for just more than a year. It has more than exceeded my expectations and actually is a little overkill for my small apartment. Definately a potential lease-breaking unit. I paid $1050 for it.

    The NBA thread...anyone care?

    Yao has a song?! Any links to this? I like his game. Like most foreign players, he seems to be very good fundamentally and has excellent touch for someone his size. I think that he will do well with the Rockets assuming that Francis and Mobley will share the ball with him.

    Jury awards ex-smoker $28 billion

    Monster verdicts like this never stand up to appeal.

    ESPN.com College Pigskin Pick'em 2002

    That's brutal.

    Well, it could have been worse...

    The good thing is you are still here and hopefully not hurt too bad. I know how you feel, something like this happened to me a little over a month ago and I know it sucks. It really sucks trying to deal with another person's insurance company. Hopefully you won't have to bring yours into...

    A-Rod's Pay Cut

    Yeah, this is clearly PR by ARod since he is considered the posterchild for salary excess. I don't think that this would be possible even if he really meant it.

    Terrell Davis retires at age 29.

    This is really a shame for Terrell. His is/was a great running back and it would been interesting to see exactly what he could have accomplished. Assuming that he managed his money properly, he shouldn't need to work. Prior to his first knee injury, he signed a lucrative contract with the...

    Do you have obsessive compulsive tendancies? I do.

    I don't have a OCD that I am aware of, but someone I used to work with used to fascinate me with his need to have things straight. From our office, I would watch him take 10-15 minutes a day parking his car. Getting out and all but measuring the distance to the lane markers. When he finished...

    Vanilla Coke or Pepsi Blue?

    I haven't come across the Pepsi product yet, but I tried Vanilla Coke last night. Pretty good, definitely more of a cream soda feel to it.

    Van Horn + 1 For Bonsi Wells + Rasheed Wallace

    I didn't think that the Nets would find anyone who would take on Van Horn's contract. For that reason alone, this is a good trade.

    The Anna Nicole Show.

    You gotta feel sorry for her son. Imagine what it must be like to have a mother like this. Being a teen is hard enough under normal circumstances, but this cruel and unusual. My opinion of her show is in line with everyone else's.

    Sigh...I hate driving an unfamiliar car..

    I recently had an accident in my Volvo S60 and I am trying very hard to get used to a rental Camry. Aside from the speed/handling issues, this car just doesn't brake well at all. And the seats are not very comfortable either. I don't know how Toyota sells so many of these cars. Makes me...

    Allen Iverson -- big trouble or minor inconvenience?

    Here is some excellent information on this case. http://www.msnbc.com/news/786854.asp?0dm=s14Gs&cp1=1 It seems as if Allen Iverson was the real tenant in this case since he was paying the rent. You can't claim that he broke into a place if he is the one paying for it. Considering this, I can't...

    MotoGP world championship...

    I usually watch the AMA superbikes and the World Superbike series. I have caught a few of the MotoGP races this year, but like Chris said originally, Rossi is dominating and that usually leads to some pretty boring races since you pretty much know how it is going to end. Just like F1. This is...

    Allen Iverson -- big trouble or minor inconvenience?

    I don't think that anyone is minimizing an alledged gun possesion. What we have here is what happens when no one knows all the facts. From what I got from a news report, the person who was at the house was "pretty sure" what he saw was a gun. That is not conclusive. And he said that it was not...

    Allen Iverson -- big trouble or minor inconvenience?

    I would guess that the end result of this will likely be some kind of suspended sentence and a fine for barging into the apartment. Unless there is more than one witness to AI having a gun, they probably won't be able to get that to stick. I think that if this was the Average Joe, this wouldn't...

    Austrian F1 Grand Prix

    Ferrari's hellbent efforts to secure a championship for MS seem to be affecting the bottomline for Fiat. http://www.autosport.com/newsitem.cf...8991&series=41 Do you think the Ferrari family would allow GM to end up with the race team?

    Austrian F1 Grand Prix

    Clearly, Ferrari has the best car by far and the best driver. No one in their right mind could honestly believe that anyone other than Schuey will win this year's championship. As long as he doesn't get taken out in the first corner, he will very likely win. What they did today was totally...

    Why is New Jersey such a joke?

    Hmmm, NJ jokes. That's new... Newark is not the murder capital of the US, by rate or total. According to the FBI, Newark wasn't even close in 1999 or 2000. http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius_00/00crime213.pdf http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/Cius_99/99crime/99c2_13.pdf The 2001 stats are not available yet...

    Car shopping: replacement for Honda Accord Coupe?

    I would second the Acura RSX. It is an excellent handling car, should be under $24k, can be had with an auto, and since it's a Acura should be pretty reliable.

    New Infiniti G35 Coupe

    The headlights work much better on the coupe than the sedan. Either way though, the G35 is a really nice looking car. If I had not already purchased my 01 S60T5, I might on the list for the Coupe. Nissan/Infinity is really on a roll. They are throwing horsepower at everything on four wheels...

    Anybody out there own a Volvo S60?

    Congrats! I am sure that you will be very happy with it. It is a true sleeper vehicle. One thing, when you get it, check the tire pressure. My T5 is very sensitive to tire pressure and a pound here and there makes a big difference in handling. When I first got it, the dealer overinflated...

    The Bulls sink to new depths

    Unfortunately for Bulls fans, Reinsdorf and Krause are still under the impression that if the keep throwing money at the better free agents, one of them will eventually take the money. The Bulls have a reputation around the league for not taking care of their players the way they are used to...
