My signal with the box is way better than it was before. The signal meter on the box really helps in positioning the antenna to get stations in clearly. There is one station that I used to get that I now can not reliably get now. There are several that I did not get before that I can now (plus sub-channels).

Not sure what your size or price requirements are, but I lived briefly at 1257 W Lunt Ave in Rogers Park. As of 4 years ago they offered 4 month leases on studios (they seem to cater mostly to Loyola students and those fresh out of school). At the time, the price was about $500 for a small studio w/electricity and heat paid for. Not the nicest place in the world, but I never had any problems. It's about a block from the red line stop. The same couple also managed a place across the street. I don't have their contact info, but I'm sure you could find it with some legwork.

Pretty sure it already aired. They played a clip on NPR this morning.

Anyone remember Desert Storm trading cards?

McDowell had a good ERA and decent WHIP. He also pitched a s***-ton of innings--he was in the top 3 in the league for innings pitched 5 times (probably why he flamed out young). You don't need the win stat to show how good he was.

I'm pretty sure that Lovie was doing the defensive play calling already.

Is there any evidence at this point that Miller is better than Gooden? I guess he would be a better defender against centers, but I'm not sure he's that much of an upgrade other than that. What's his contract situation?

I wonder what the mileage is like (for either driving and flying).

Cassel is a free agent. Unless they franchise him (unlikely).

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 29, 2008 -> 11:55 AM) The Colts game was a total fluke. Peyton Manning was clearly not ready to start the season. If we played them today we'd lose by at least 30. And I don't consider the Eagles a good team. Took two epic chokes by Dallas/Tampa for them to barely get in. The Colts game was probaly a fluke, but I'm not sure why that shouldn't count as a win vs. a good team. Were any of the losses flukey? Which games are we allowed to count?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 29, 2008 -> 11:29 AM) And we lost to every good team we played. Not entirely true. Beat the Colts and the Iggles.

I don't smoke pot and never have. I do have some reservations about legalization, as eventually big corporations would become the dealers. I also have some reservations about health and other side effects. However, with over-crowded prisons and the gangster bloodbath in Juarez, legalizing marijuana seems like an overwhelmingly positive idea.

I didn't realize that Orton made the tackle on the Woodson interception. He took a pretty good route to contain the ball carrier. Heh.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 19, 2008 -> 11:53 AM) I don't think he is particularly speaking to the value of Javy Vazquez as much as he is the straight-forwardness and no-nonsense of Kenny in making deals. It was clearly a barb meant for Furcal's agents, not so much a sigh of relief that Javy is some kind of savioir... Ditto. GMs generally don't publicly insult each other or suggest that a trade is one sided, as they don't want to burn bridges.

Hilarious picture of Quentin on that page, though.

No. One time someone took a bite out of my slice of pizza and put it back in the fridge on top of the bag it was in. They must not have liked it. Not surprising, considering it was a week old.

Starter #6 from the existing pool = long relief job.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 23, 2008 -> 03:19 AM) I got labeled a lightweight a couple weeks back when I went out with this group of girls and I was the only one with a hangover. But I mean I had to appeal that since I had like 9 shots of rum, 2 long islands, 3 jello shots (whatever the hell those girls were drinking, I have no idea) and a couple of beers... what do you expect? I was blasted. I'm a little confused as to why the term "lightweight" has such a negative connotation. Isn't low tolerance generally a good thing? Cheaper, evidence that your liver isn't yet the size of a pumpkin, etc. There seems to be a competitive undertone to drinking for a lot of people that I just don't get.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Nov 26, 2008 -> 03:04 PM) But if you do that, where is the incentive for wait staff to give you good service? Do/did you work in a tipped position? If not, what is your incentive to do your job well? I liked this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/12/magazine...amp;oref=slogin

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Nov 26, 2008 -> 12:44 PM) when is getting paid to do your job, not enough. Generally when you are paid as a tipped employee (lower minimum wage).

Pippen is probably a top 5 defender, all time.

Are they Indian-American or just Indian? Seems like it's an Indian show looking for Indian players in India. Then they bring them to pitch for scouts stateside.

Nice run, but what's the "block in the back" rule in college? Because 3 of the main blocks seemed to be that.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 11:16 AM) Yeah, I meant 2007 or 2006.

Most of those deep-voiced annoucer guys have that voice in large part BECAUSE they smoke.
