    Dear dimwit on the phone

    Some lady from West Virginia e-mailed us (apparently after speaking to someone on staff or in the newsroom) about her 6-year-old daughter's gymnastics accomplishments, including a photo, as if we are to write a story. I am several states over from West Virginia, but her grandparents live in the...

    NBA Labor Pains

    As Vincent Goodwill of the Detroit News tweeted: "It's starting to sink in that I don't think there will be a season...because owners who did nothing to build the game want absolute power."

    Ominous news at Tampa Tribune

    Firing some corporate executives is always the logical solution, but the one never used.

    Big Brother 13

    probably Jeff winning the most popular houseguest was the most surprising to me after he came across (or was edited) as a complete deck this season. I'm not surprised Rachel won. I thought she'd win 4-3, but thought Adam would be that 4th vote instead of Shelly. Pretty easy to see that Brendon...

    Big Brother 13

    Would be pretty funny if she nominates Kalia and Porsche, but Adam wins veto and removes one of them, forcing her to put up Jordan. Then, Jordan would get evicted. If not, she may win for the 2nd time in 3 years without having done much of anything. Though I was rooting for her much harder 2...

    Oil prices, price at the pump

    Oil shoots back up $5 today to around $85. Got to love it when speculators determine how much money you have or don't have. Gas dropped about 6 cents per gallon over the past week or so around here to $3.45. Because I'm sure a $15-20 RISE in oil over a short period of time would elicit such a...

    Isn't he more worried about who the Pirates beat writer is for one of the papers up there?

    Global Oil Reserves Tapped in Effort to Cut Cost at Pump

    Pretty safe to say the sharp rise in gas/oil prices this spring contributed to the shirttiness of this summer's economy, plus all the furloughs/layoffs, etc., because everything's way more expensive to transfer around because of higher gas prices. If gas was $2.60/gallon in January, and $3.80...

    How much did you pay for gas today?

    Someone that buys and sells oil on the market Oil drops $16 last week. Gas gets to dropping only 10 cents, if that. Then Goldman Sachs has an "expert," likely someone with an investment in this, say that gas is going back up. There's no oil. We're going to run out. Now. Whatever And it goes...

    How much did you pay for gas today?

    How much did you pay for gas today?

    Was 3.79 in my neck of the woods, dropped to 3.76 after the 10-dollar drop in oil last week. Dropped to 3.69 this morning. Then as oil rose 5 dollars today, thanks to speculators who all need to die soon, gas went back to 3.76 around lunchtime

    RIP Kim Jessup (ESPN PR)

    Searched "Kim Jessup" on twitter and this profile came up, which I clicked on and saw this. Not familiar with the syndrome, but maybe others are. JesCanary Jessica Canary Finally received answers. kim died of a heart attack due to having had Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Far too young. We miss you.

    Selection Sunday 2011 thread

    You are correct, though they had to overcome Doug Shows at Ole Miss and just couldn't. This team wasn't even supposed to be in the picture before the season started, so that speaks more to Anthony Grant's abilities as a coach. But it's a bit ridiculous that their season was essentially over in...

    Selection Sunday 2011 thread

    UAB can hang its hat on going to Duke and getting its ass beat, then having its RPI jump just before playing Duke. Alabama's problem was that it played like garbage in November and December, and the "name" schools it had on the schedule (and lost to when it was playing like crap) ended up being...

    Dear dimwit on the phone

    So if a guy's name is William Howard Baker III, but goes by Trey, and everyone calls him that, some of you would refuse to in your stories? Trey is just as much of a nickname as Shooter, Bubba or Shanaynay
