Yeah, you may very well not. Just remember to add in property taxes and state income taxes paid as well though.

I didn't get this mortgage deduction that you all are talking about either of the last two years. If you itemize deductions on your tax return you can deduct mortgage interest and property taxes paid to add to your deductions. If you own a home, 99 percent of the time it's better to itemize than to...

I don't know what the record for most times no-hit in a season but the Astros may make a run at it.

First adult beverage to wash away your failure is on me. Thanks. I think. It seemed like a better offer than getting you tanked the night before to ruin your brain. Seriously though, does this mean two trips out this way in a couple weeks' time (you still thinking about DET-LAA thirdt weekend in Ap...

That's generally the idea, yeah. Unfortunately, there are very few opportunities to make money because of that skill.

The Pens were supposed to be wearing their dark blue alternate sweaters (from the Pittsburgh Winter Classic) for the final time tonight (word is that they are working on a new third for next season), but after Crosby's injury on Saturday in those sweaters that is off, the kit is officially defunct....

Maybe its me, but the funniest thing was that the door opened after he crashed through the glass.

Oh yeah. That was some real-life Wile E. Coyote shit there.

This is a question for Brian.... What is your take on the thing Zappos CEO Tony Heisch is doing in Vegas? I have read a bunch about it and he seems to be getting a bunch of good press, but I am really curious the local take. Considering most of the area he's trying to rehab was largely a shithole f...

I have an audition for Jeopardy in LA on May 9. I almost crapped my pants when I got the e-mail. Turd, I might be hitting you up for some pointers here very shortly.

Hey Brian~ 1) House prices still holding up in Vegas? I can't remember how long it has been since I last asked. 2) Why'd they have to mess up my favorite omelet place? And how many drugs was that driver on? Car Crash Into Egg & I Restaurant In Las Vegas Seriously Hurts 10 People http://i.i.com....

Something to keep in mind is that the area BSF is talking about buying, homes are VERY cheap*. Like in some cases you can get a nice, well-maintained home in a safe neighborhood for the price of a luxury car. So owning may very well be favorable to renting. *- I don't know specifically what town, bu...

Are we really supposed to feel sorry for that guy? Buzzfeed could do 100 of those stories a day and never run out of people in this country who are stupid with their money and deserve no pity.

If FGCU doesn't beat San Diego State, does he get the USC job? (Hint: This is not a trick question.) That one game made that dude a lot of money.

Crazy talk, amirite?

Leyland's going to use a guy who should be a LOOGY as his closer. Why? Because he actually closed in the playoffs last year against the one team in MLB it made sense for him to close against because of all their lefties. This will end well I'm sure. ETA: Jesus, I take it back. He actually left Benoi...

Thanks, Brian. I used it (quite literally every day, all day) last season. I was hoping to get a bootleg copy *cough cough will provide email address cough cough* again but I'm hours away from simply buying it. The one thing for which I can't find an answer is . . . if I download/pay for it on my S...

I like some of the updates on the iOS version. Haven't played with it much yet though.

Oh, Tigers bullpen. Such a cruel April Fool's Joke. No wonder Verlander is winless on Opening Day.

Trout and Harper are going to be compared with each other for the rest of their careers, but there's no right or wrong answer as to which one you'd rather have (at this point in their career at least).

This is Justin Verlander's sixth Opening Day start. He's never won on Opening Day before.

(Tigers are 2-3. He's 0-1 with 4 NDs.)

Aren't blackouts based on where you could get local cable showing those teams? In case it wasn't clear, I'd totally be fine with what you're talking about. I can get Dodgers/Angels games on basic cable, so if they were blacked out on MLB.tv I'd deal. You get into some hilariously fucked up scenario...

Aren't blackouts based on where you could get local cable showing those teams? No. That would make some sense. MLB is not allowed to make any sense. Teams can claim whatever they want to be their "region". Theoretically (and I'm kinda surprised they haven't done it) the Yankees could clai...

Also, I'm just going to go ahead and get this annual rant out of the way on opening day and then try not to bring it up again. The MLB blackout rules for Extra Innings/MLB.tv is a fucking joke. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/MLB_Blackout_Areas.png/776px-MLB_Blackout_Areas.p...

It's even funnier this year now that both teams suck. How many 4:30 9-inning games between sub-.500 Yankee and Red Sox teams will the nation be subjected to on ESPN? 13? 14?

Bryce Harper is good at baseball. Two HRs today. Strasburg is pretty good too.

Didn't Zaz go to St. Cloud State? Apparently Mr. D doesn't have the market cornered on miracle runs in the Big Dance.

One other thing that was discussed -- whether it is included by the sellers in the purchase price or not, consider paying for a home warranty. I may be in the minority on this, but the money is worth the piece of mind. I use a company called American Home Shield and I've been happy with the service/...

Any other tips are always appreciated. How to find a good mortgage company, etc. (I say this because my buddy bought his first house with his wife and they went with a local mortgage company. Someone they could find and get ahold of for questions, etc. Their mortgage was sold to Chase 3 days after ...

He's 32. He's had six years to rewrite his defining moment. But yeah, Romo could definitely be worse, and their GM sucks, so they probably had to pay him. Right. The issue is who do you replace him with. If you assume that Romo is at worst league average (and I'd argue he's closer to about 8th-12th...

Brontoburglar wrote:I don't understand the Romo hate. Yeah, he's farted away games, but the Cowboys wouldn't be in the position they were in to fart away the games in the first place without Romo playing well to get them there.

Yeah, despite playing for the Cowboys he's arguably the most underrated QB in the NFL.

Probably sets the bar for Cutler, who is a free agent after this coming season. Not too happy about that, although the Bears should look into extending him now to free up some cap space for this year. Yeah, same with Stafford. Lions are probably looking at about 6 yrs, $110M or so, but Stafford's g...

Cowboys paid the going rate for Romo. Hell, he's a way better QB than Flacco, who got stupid money.

I lost only two bets in the Sweet 16, both by one half point (tOSU -3.5 and Florida -12.5). Oh well. Still a good weekend so far.
