Nnamdi Asomugha to the 49ers in a one-year deal.

Well, the Sharks have won four in a row to move into 6th place in the West, but they still look to be dumping older guys who'll be UFA, and looking to the future. First, Douglas Murray to Pittsburgh. Then, this morning, Michal Handzus to Chicago. And, now, Ryane Clowe is not dressing for tonight's g...

Ah, yes. When was the last time any of you heard from/about Brainbo? Didn't she have some health issues? Howard, DSG, Rass?

Any word of phxgators?

But solid appreciation isn't the norm right now. Yeah, you have to estimate that one on your own. But, I do believe the economy is improving (at least here where I live), and I'd bet on appreciation wherever the economy is rebounding. And, D, in a location like yours, where monthly rents are steep ...

I know it seems like renting is throwing away money, but paying interest on a mortgage is throwing away money as well. It takes several years before your mortgage payments start paying down the principle of the loan, so you really aren't getting much equity out the first 5-10 years of the mortgage....

In this tiny interest rate environment, I'd certainly buy, if one can afford the down payment and expects to stay in the area. As was said before, focus on location overy any other factor - you want to buy in an up and coming area that can be expected to be more desirable in future years. A place wi...

"I think it was a pretty big commitment, not only on the school’s part, but it was a pretty big commitment on my part especially what’s out there and the opportunities that are out there to show my loyalty to UNM and how much I appreciate UNM and how much I want to continue to build this thing...

Did GP captain the Montreal Junior Canadiens?

jeez, howard. Didn't you catch Rush's reference to the lyrics of Helpless? Mebbe gonna have to take your old-guy-rocker membership card away.

That's it. Number of hits. Not batting average. As my long-single brother used to say, "I'm not looking for Miss Right. I'm looking for Miss Right Now!"

I had to ad-block that avatar. Can't have that popping up (hey now!) so often when I'm work Swampin'.

I know it's Dave, but I totally hear Shirley saying that, in her best What's Happening voice.

I've never signed up for Netflix. (I know - I oughta be in a museum.)

I got a new work laptop today, and was so proud of myself for this exchange at the head office:

Yankee superfan co-worker: So, you finally upgraded from that old piece of crap, eh?
Me: Yeah, it was kinda the Vernon Wells of laptops - serviceable, but not what you want.
Him: [flips bird]

sancarlos

I used to watch this back in the day, but completely lost touch with it. I need to go buy DVDs or something, since I don't get Netflix.

sancarlos

Nothing but schadenfreude for that dick, Bissinger. Bronto, you can use this in your next flame war with him. (It was you, wasn't it?)

Dumervil's had some injury issues, but I sure wish the Broncos had kept him. He made lots of big plays, and took pressure off Von Miller. So, congrats, BFJ. Somebody may have already said this, but who uses fax machines anymore? Just scan it and email it! What a clusterfuck. So, now the Broncos turn...

Think Thor the Viking on skates - not Henrik Sedin.

What's the word on Douglas Murray, SC? The Pens needs someone to clear the crease. He is trade bait. The good: Tough, physical, shot-blocker, crease-clearer, will stand up for teammates, strong as an ox. Hard checker, good fighter, good on PK. Rumored to have dated Elin Woods. The bad: Poor stick h...

Picked up my suit today from the tailor. $310 for as close to what Javier Bardem is wearing in this pic. That's a $2,295 coat and $495 pants by Ralph Lauren Black Label. Needless to say, I have dropped my tax return into 4 more suits and an overcoat. http://www.gq.com/images/entertainment/2012/09/b...

I think the MWC deserves some accolades. It's top isn't at the level of the Big Ten or Big East, but it's bottom is stronger than the majority of conferences. And anyway, judging on the basis of a small sample of games is similar to judging a baseball or hockey team that had a very fine regular seas...

On a personal note, I watched my son play trumpet at an all county band competition yesterday with his middle school's honors band. He is one of 3 sixth graders asked to join the band that is made up of 7th and 8th graders from his school. I never had the chance to play an instrument in school and ...

Good story, Bob. Good luck with all that!

Man, the CSU Rams were dominant on the Boards, weren't they? They were the 8 seed, but Missouri was the betting line favorite. Being a Mountain West fan, it was tough seeing Rush's boys shit the bed against Harvard. They looked horrible. Oklahoma State and UNLV must be wondering how they pissed off ...

I checked hockey scores on my phone just now and saw that Martin Brodeur had scored an unassisted, first period goal tonight. I thought, "That can't be right", but yes, he did get technical credit for this goal. http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=35&id=225326" onclick=...

For the rest of their lives, those guys on the Davidson team are going to be mystified that they somehow lost that game.

Yup. ...But his breakthrough came when director Gerard Damiano hired him as lighting director on "Deep Throat". The original male lead failed to show up so Reems stepped in, playing a doctor helping Lovelace with a sexually sensitive area in her throat. "Deep Throat" was the fir...

Ok, Bucknell, I get it. I see how you guys roll now. Thought they would fold up with their star Marcula or whatever gone cold. Bucknell didn't look like they could hit the ocean with a basketball in the first half, but now they are on quite a run. If they hold on and win, the anointing of Brad Stev...

The one you are referring to may not have been S.I., but theirs were plenty cheesy, too. I have a couple of them, Football Follies, Bloopers and that sort of thing. Very cheesy.

This is kinda fascinating. Some bizarre stuff in here, like the fact that San Francisco supports Michigan more than any other NCAA Tournament team (yes, including Cal) That's odd. But, there are a hell of a lot of Michigan transplants in this area (really, in every area of the country, given the di...
