Some think the site may not be enough land for a stadium and the required parking. It's also GREAT leverage against St. Louis to say you already own the land. I think it cost them close to $100m. Compare that to the $500m they are trying o get out of St Louis, it's a great investment you can turn around and sell if you get what you want.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 29, 2014 -> 02:28 PM) I just got an email from my town that said they're running out of salt. More salt is hard to come by I guess. I bet this has been a great season for those salt companies. It's a conspiracy! Obama's been manipulating the weather to help his salt company contributors!!!

Just down the road from Sochi... Ukraine 'on brink of civil war'

I dont fault the city for not having enough snow plows of salt. They dont need it. But there should have been some common sense in the governement, educational systems, and industry to close just about everything you can close when you are planning on getting snow. They dont have the proper means to clear the snow or melt ice, and a huge majority of people that live there probably have never HAD to drive in snow.

UVerse has been having DNS issues all morning. Some sites would load, others would not. I had to switch my computer to GoogleDNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). Searched Twitter, and it appears to be nation wide.

So awesome.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 23, 2014 -> 10:56 AM) I don't think you have to join the union, but you have to pay the union dues because they'll still be representing you in negotiations and legally required to represent you in any other labor disputes, at least that's my layman's understanding of it. Some states, maybe all, allow you to opt-out of some portion of the union dues if the unions engage in politicking, basically you'd just be paying for the representation. That's so messed up. I dont have to be a part of it, but i still have to pay. what a joke.

I ask this carefully, so PLEASE dont turn this into a political thing. I live in IL and my department just voted to unionize. They scheduled the vote at a time when I was unable to attend, so i didnt even get to vote against it. I contacted the union group representing the department, and she basically said that was the time to vote as agreed to by the organization and the union leadership and i was S.O.L. I have ZERO desire to be a part of this process, and no desire to be a part of this union. What are my options, other than getting a new job. My understanding of IL law is that I am required to be a part of the union, even if I dont want to be.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 21, 2014 -> 08:35 AM) Although if the extra point is abolished, this craziness would never happen again. After all that effort, I cant even begin to imagine how demoralizing that missed kick would have been.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 21, 2014 -> 08:17 AM) so what would it be? either an automatic one point or a two point try? If the NFL "really" wants to cut back on player injuries, than a required 2pt try seems like the wrong direction.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 06:08 PM) Jamaican Bobsled Team! http://espn.go.com/olympics/winter/2014/bo...an-bobsled-team People have donated $25,000 to help the Jamaicans go to the Olympics. 70% of the money has come from U.S. bank accounts. Must be a lot of Cool Runnings fans out there! That's pretty much it right here.

The NFL is thinking of eliminating the extra point.

The NBA could have put a system in place, during the last CBS negotiations, where they make it almost impossible for teams to collect 3 big money players (Boston a few years ago, and now Miami). but they effectively left the previous system in place with a few minor changes.

You are welcome....
