    Jalen Rose has Fizer as a Top 5 all time bust

    Telfair was ridiculously hyped, but he was only the 13th overall pick. It's kind of hard to be a bust midway through the 1st round. I thought this was an interesting article: Magic Johnson ranks as best No. 1 pick in history of NBA draft - Ian Thomsen - SI.com It's the all-time best draft...

    Removing Marker from a CD

    You mean people actually watch DVD's of their weddings? :biglaugh: I know bleach will take permanent marker off a dry-erase board, but I don't know if it would damage a disc. Try burning a test disc, writing on it with a marker, cleaning it with bleach, and then see if the test disc still...

    Matt Perrault made me realize a pet peeve! (long)

    So you think Varitek will make the HOF as a novelty? Like Abbott and Costello? That makes sense. And I really don't think you want to compare Varitek to Bench.

    For those driving in or through Illinois.

    Snopes isn't sure about part about a ticket for 1 mph over. It also says they've issued 7000 such tickets since 2006, so I'm guessing the threshold is a lot higher than 1 mph over. If they were going to issue a ticket for every driver going at least 1 mph over, each camera would probably issue...

    Mediacom

    Don't know why, but my Mediacom service has gone out for a couple hours for the last three Monday nights (including tonight, I hope there's no more tonight). Otherwise it's worked fine.

    What is your favorite joke of all time?

    Three guys were walking down the street. Two of them walked into a bar, but the third one ducked under it.

    Travails of Used Car Shopping

    My father-in-law seems to enjoy buying cars too. He'll find a car he likes and offer the dealer a ridiculously low price. They reject it, and he comes back a couple weeks later and offers the same thing. He'll repeat the process for several months until the dealer caves and he gets a cheap car.

    Mythical In-State Championship

    Drake has a bunch of new guys coming in, something like five freshman and a couple of redshirts from last year. How good Drake is will depend on how good the new guys are. Their posts are all freshmen, which is usually a bad thing. Plus they'll have another year under Phelps, which may or may...

    Mythical In-State Championship

    UNI played several bad games last year. Drake and Indiana St beat them at home, and Iowa beat them by almost 20. Why was the ISU game one of their worst?

    MLB: Cubs vs. Whitesox

    How much fun would a double header tomorrow be? Go to a day game, drink for a few hours, come back for a night game.

    MLB: Cubs bring up Fox

    I don't hate Lee. He's definitely one of my favorites. He's a great fielder, a consistent hitter, and a class act on and off the field. But he's definitely in decline. In another couple of years he probably won't be a productive player, and it'll be time for him to go, and that will make me...

    MLB: Cubs bring up Fox

    I think Lee is signed through 2010. I'm guessing he'll be done with the Cubs after that.

    Sosa allegedly tested positive for banned substances

    I don't know why Griffey using PEDs would surprise so many people. He had unreal power until his body broke down, and then had a late career surge. He doesn't look ripped, but that sounds like a steroid user. I'd be surprised if Maddux used because he was never a power pitcher. I'd be...

    Chops Owners Want to Sell/Move Franchise

    The Energy and the Barnstormers could've played at Vets. The Stars/Chops apparently won't exist after this year. The concerts are nice, but I'm not sure there's enough of them to justify WFA, and they certainly don't justify its size. I think Hilton could've hosted the women's tourney, which...

    MLB: Cubs bring up Fox

    The Cubs need an extra bat, but since they're not putting one of the starters on the DL I'm afraid Fox isn't going to play much. Hoffpauir and Johnson barely get to play as it is.
