My AC has been blowing progressively warmer over the last couple months, and today it was just blowing warm air. So I know I need to get the AC checked and probably recharged (I'm hoping that's all it is and it doesn't need a condenser or something much more expensive). Anyone know how much I am looking at to recharge the coolant? I've seen estimates on the web from $75 to $250.

That's what it looks like: His salary from the Atlanta Falcons was $11.4 million in 2006 and $6 million in 2007. Along with substantial income from endorsements, the windfall allowed Vick to spread the wealth, paying mortgages and bills for family members and keeping them flush in spending money. "Chump change," Vick wrote on one $1,000 check to his mother. But his balance sheet is now grim. Vick claims assets of $16 million and liabilities of $20.4 million. He's on the hook for judgments of $2.4 million to the Royal Bank of Canada and $1.1 million to Wachovia Bank, both because of loan defaults, and $4.5 million for a sports agent who sued him and won. Meanwhile, his monthly bills are piling up: his mother Brenda Boddie's $4,700 mortgage; more than $2,000 in car payments for her Cadillac XLR and Escalade; a $2,500 mortgage for fiancee Kijafa Frink and their two children; $1,160 for Frink's Range Rover; a $781 payment for his sister's Yukon Denali; $3,500 in monthly support for his young son and the boy's mother. It's a good read on the financial mess he got himself into, and it shows that he didn't lose all his money because he went to jail. He lost it because he spent money on his friends and family like MC Hammer; he had some failed business ventures; owes a ton of money to his lawyers; has to pay back a good chunk of his signing bonus; and was also defrauded by a couple financial advisers who supposedly bilked him out of over a half-million dollars. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3718121

Great post.

"So someone called you Fatty McButterpants online in the bank, and it took seeing the Big & Tall bag to push you over the edge?" Awesome show.

Great name. I assume a King of Queens fan, no?

I hoped I wasn't the only one.

If I never hear Al Michaels sing the intro to "Good Ship Lollipop" ever again I can die a happy man.

Never thought about fish piss.

Water sucks! It really, really sucks!

Exactly. Using "haterade" in a non-mocking manner should result in an instant banning.

I noticed last night in my DirecTV on-screen guide that the NFL Network's coverage was listed as four hours (7-11) while ESPN pulled out their standard "block off three hours for a live event/game even though we know it will run over" procedure. So I had to extend the DVR recording an extra hour. NFLN nailed the time better. That being said, I have to give credit where credit is due - I kept jumping back and forth between the two, and I thought ESPN's coverage was better than NFLN's.

It's OK, the dog is OK. He's off the hook. The drywall, on the other hand...

That ing 3rd-and-13 catch-and-run-through-five-Bills'-"tacklers" play by Ingram. Thanks everyone for reminding me of this. I may have to go kick the dog now.

I can't comment on your physical condition, but (assuming he is eating "right" and working out nearly year round for his job) it seems to me he would have to be taking in an obscene amount of empty calories through alcohol in order to be 30 pounds overweight. Or maybe not. I don't know. It just seemed that a pro athlete losing 30 pounds from cutting out alcohol was a lot more than I would have expected.

White dropped 30 pounds this offseason by cutting out alcohol. How much Patron was he drinking? NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Not Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem. Forget about hiring a private chef to cook healthy meals. LenDale White lost more than 30 pounds this offseason and is in his fourth training camp with the Tennessee Titans at his slimmest weight since high school. The running back admits he wishes he understood earlier in his career the importance of being in shape. Just how did he lose the weight? White gave up tequila. "I really got to be honest," White said. "It wasn't a lot of major diet changes. (It was) watching what I drink. I was a big Patron consumer. ... That's what it was. I was drinking a lot, drank a lot of alcohol. I cut that out of my diet all the way. I don't drink at all. I cut the drinking, I stopped drinking for six months. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/foot...a.ap/index.html

The article in the Buffalo News says that is the case: Thompson says she's been unable to find gainful employment since she received her information technology degree in April. She says the Bronx school's Office of Career Advancement hasn't provided her with the leads and career advice it promises. LINK

LINK Wow, it's a who's who of NFL thugs and punks. /sarcasm

It is a good read, but man I hate reading a lot of text on websites that use Myspace-esque formats like that. The italicized navy blue text on gray Yankees-logo wallpaper is a little tough on the eyes.

There was a lot of intelligence that indicated he may have survived the crash and possibly held as a POW under Saddam's regime.

RIP, Captain. It sucks that the hope he is still alive is gone, but hopefully his family can finally have some closure.

It was a trick question!

I'll give you partial credit! You missed the one after Wow!

Wow that's a lot of exclamation points in one post.

^^What he said.
