What is an “alleged felon”? You mean he has been charged? Ok… but a felon is someone who has been convicted. If the dude gets convicted then you have a point, but until then - just about anybody can get charged.
Wow, that's a lot of cheddar.
Oh man. New water pump + thermostat = way more money than I had ever wanted to spend on a single auto repair.

AT&T question...
I don’t pay for a data rate plan, so if I send an MMS (a picture) to an email address (like twitpic)… is that included in my text plan or is that “data”? Or am I a moron?
“I think it was totally classless and disrespectful.”
– Keith brooking, Butt Hurt LB for the Dallas Cowboys
Sorry buddy. you get paid millions of dollars to keep offenses from scoring. They get paid millions of dollars to score. They did their job and you didn’t. THAT is disrespectful.

Report: Cowboys’ Grantham accepts UGA job →
No confirmation yet from Georgia or the Dallas Cowboys, but there is a report early this morning that Cowboys defensive-line coach Todd Grantham has accepted Mark Richt’s offer to be the Bulldogs’ defensive coordinator.
If that turns out to be the case -– and caution is warranted, given how this saga has gone — Richt’s six-week-long search for Willie Martinez’s successor finally would be over.

$4 million/year for a coach with a losing record? Is USC out of their damn minds?

My best guess is all the money they usually allocate for bribing players is now going to be freed up to pay the coach.

Buh-bye Lane Kiffin.

"Berkeley High May Cut Out Science Labs"
Alternate Title, “Science Class is for Whitey”.
Unbelievable.
Paul Gibson, an alternate parent representative on the School Governance Council, said that information presented at council meetings suggests that the science labs were largely classes for white students. He said the decision to consider cutting the labs in order to redirect resources to underperforming students was...

And never forget I’m your man.
I was on the 10th tee and sliced off my drive in a bad way. The old guy waiting his up at the tee box chuckled and said, “That’s why they call it golf.” Made about as much sense as… nothing, really.

I think the whole powerade (refuse to say gatorade as I am a dawg fan and am not allowed) bath has outlived its novelty. I can’t think of a coach in recent memeory that has laughed about it. They all seem pretty pissed. Saban sure looked like he was going to kick someone’s ass.
