smartyjoneswinsthetriplecrown.com sold for one cease and desist letter

tenny - never thought about that, and I think you are completely right. 10-15,000 students within a mile or so of downtown, needing apartments, pizza, laundromats etc. The city needs a critical mass of people, and once the "subway" came, not even main st. has a critical mass.....

hey, he made $30,000 last week....

he's the most accurate kicker in nfl history.

johnny - how old are you? I thought you were sort of young, in which case you have no excuse for not knowing who that is! If you are over 30 I take that back...

ha, I actually know about this. One of my online businesses was going to use content from another website, but I wasn't sure if i was allowed to "take" the content. This wasn't articles or anything, just public information - not much different than stats or the weather history. What I found out, was that you can take and use this type of stuff so long as you "creatively alter" the way it is used. And by that I mean you can't just copy and paste, you need to dress it up, make it look a different way etc. There was a supreme court case once where someone used all of the exact content from another phone book to make their own phone book. The court ruled against them, but said if they hadn't just copied the first phone book exactly they would have been fine. If they had organized it differently or added some of their own content or design it would have been enough. I'm not positive if baseball stats fall into the same category, but I would assume they would. Not sure how to alter the stats though.... MLB would catch hell in the court of public opinion if they did try something like that

does anyone like peter king? all i ever here is people complain about him. Steve Czaban (sportcaster out of DC) has a vendetta against the guy since he's a large reason art monk isn't in the hall of fame....

Do you really think Mularkey wanted to go?

jduncan - let me guess - retatta for dinner, right?

thanks johnny, though i'm afraid the "people in buffalo are mean" arguments won't go away for a few weeks...

things would be worse in a lot of cities.

any more news?

how long until someone posts a link every day to an mp3 version?

ok johnny, you just lost it. You mean to tell me that you would rather have a quarterback who: -is 1-7 as a pro starter -whose only pro win came against the worst team in the league -whose college career was largely spent playing the likes of Louisiana Monroe and Army - and when they did play a great team like texas they lost 49-0. than a quarterback who: - had what is likely the single greatest performance of any college football player EVER, and did this in the most important game of the year, if not decade. - is the most efficient passer in NCAA football - who is 30-2 as a starting college quarterback - has won the MVP of the two most important football games he has ever played in

Jeff - I live in Hoboken, NJ and work in the city. I love the city, but it is expensive - even if you live outside of it. Also - the commute will suck, and it will suck in proportion to how much your house costs. A cheaper house = suckier commute. I"m 32 and will be leaving for upstate in 3-4 years for the reasons outlined above....

$195 for an autograph? wow, basically printing money. What is Joe's cut - $100 per?

KD - I don't think people are all that pissed off about the play itself (I do think it is sort of funny). But I certainly think that at minimum it shows that the pats really didn't care too much about winning the game, and very likely that they didn't want to win the game.

back when she was doing standup (when she was 19 or so) she had a reputation for sleeping around with all the club owners to get gigs...she even sort of admits it now...

EII - They were down by 9 points, a normal extra point would have gotten them within 8. There is no other reason in the world they run a play that hasn't been called in 65 years other than they didn't care if they won the game. And if they didn't care if they won the game, it's because they didn't want to play pittsburgh.

I LOVE Sarah Silverman. The movie was pretty good, but the non-standup parts sucked. Her super-ironic comedy is the stuff you'll either love or hate. I know people who can watch a whole Borat skit on the ali g show and not laugh at all, which for the life of my I can't comprehend....

you obviously didn't get the joke. The guy doing the interview was AUSTRALIAN - for an australian TV show. Every time someone pinned the map on australia, it was because the real australia was labeled "France" or "Iran" in big letters. Now, it doesn't make the people any less stupid, but there were probably hundreds of people who called the guy out on it and said "that's not iran", but of course they didn't show that.

My avatar for over a year has been Borat, one of the greatest comedy figures in all of history. "my sister, she is nice...she voted number 2 sex in mouth by tashkent chamber of commerce"

he'll fight that 7 foot russian and we'll have a rocky 4 situation on our hands....

and before the lockout, their site was rated one of the top sites of all pro teams...

I don't disagree that it's petty and stupid, but they can do whatever they want. That's what people are saying here. The county owning it has nothing to do with it. Do you think you can walk in and say whatever you want at any county owned facility just because the county owns it? As far as the mularkey is mularkey sign - do you think TD is up in the booth deciding what signs go and what stay? They told security no disparaging signs, and some $9 hour cowboy took it away. I'd also say that most other teams would do the same thing.
