Re: Fall Tour with American Aquarium
Any idea how to get presale codes? I was hoping to get tickets to the Madison Theatre show in Covington, KY.

Lastly, and maybe most useful is this. If you hire someone to clean your toilet, and then ask them to wipe your ass, they will feel that that's above their pay scale. And conversely, if you hire someone to wipe you ass, and then ask them to clean the toilet, they will feel the same. It should be no...

Or what about the Vikings game earlier this year where they were trying to heat up the footballs on the sidelines? They were simply told to stop.

Re: NFL 2015
Any more than a 1 game suspension for Brady would be ridiculous, and I'm not sure that even 1 game is suitable. People try to bend the rules all the time. He got busted, he certainly knew something was going on, so I'm fine with branding him as a liar, but 8 games? We don't even know if he was askin...

Re: NBA 2014-2015
The Spurs-Clippers series was absolutely epic. I haven't enjoyed watching NBA basketball that much in a long time. One of those "too bad somebody had to lose" things for sure. Paul's game winner was incredible, which made me feel a bit better about the terrible foul call in his favor shortly before...

I'm a pretty happy guy generally. Sports are where I can let out some frustration and once in a while get a little pleasure. Isn't that what they're for?

Re: NBA 2014-2015
Well, that was quite a statement by the Bulls. Biggest margin of victory in playoff history? Saw the score and literally didn't believe it. Had to check it on a second source, lol. Judging only by the score I've got to suspect they're ready for Cleveland. I'm not saying they'll win or lose, just th...

He didn't play Dress Blues, but he did play 1) the most generic roots-pop song I've ever heard, 2) the most generic butt rock/hillbilly metal song I've ever heard, which for some reason featured Soundgarden's Chris Cornell on guitar and vocals.

Good reviews on the shows. I agree, it was great. He sure seemed to be enjoying himself up there, he appears to be somebody who is very happy where they are in life. And that is certainly the most talkative I've ever seen him as he was telling stories.

Re: NFL 2014
Somewhere in this time frame 11 of the 12 balls lost up to 2 lbs of pressure each. The thing that gets me is Brady was out in front saying how the story was “ridiculous.” You can’t tell me an NFL quarterback (much less one of the all time greats) is not aware of the precise feel of a given football...

Re: NBA 2014-2015
Speculation is that Tom Thibodeau could be fired as Bulls coach as early as today. Stay tuned. Chi-town is merciless. Seems like an odd in-season move to make for a contending team. They didn't do it, but another loss or two they will. When your coach is a defensive mastermind and you've lost 7 out...

Besides the circus atmosphere that would follow Tebow to any NFL team, there's also the issue of having to construct the team's offense around what he does well. He can't run a normal pro-style offense well at all so if he ever got hurt, the backup would be in a very tough spot . Jim Fassel has cle...
