I'm sure I'm going to get a ton of $hit for this, maybe even get assclowned, but at this point I really don't care anymore. I thought the Planet was a cool place. There are a lot of things I like about this place that IMO make it stand out from other forums. But there's another thing about it...

Hey folks. The old GE 20" screen I bought way back in '94 when I was a freshman in college is finally dying out. I could see about getting it fixed but I figure it's time to just get something new. (Would cost about $100 if it even can be fixed, I can get a new one for $250 starting.) This...

Came across this on BSPN today and thought it could make interesting conversation fodder here. We've talked a lot before about whether or not pro athletes are overpaid, but here's a different angle. According to this article, more and more of them are losing tons of money in investment scams...

I got the idea for this one from my friend who said in an e-mail, "Can you believe the Cowboys are going to have PacMan AND Tank Johnson on their team with T.O. as a mentor? Might as well have the new stadium double as a penitentiary."

I wrote this earlier this week when the real story first came out, then forgot about it. Sorry if it's a bit out of date thusly. Not my best work, but I do what I can.

So the other day I got the little card in the mail reminding me it's time to renew my car's registration. Great, I thought, another $70 down the drain. Until I actually read the thing and saw that the fee jumped to $90 over the past year. It used to be $45 for a standard renewal, and $55 if...

On the one hand, I completely agree with this guy sticking it to the man. On the other, I can see why the employees he dealt with were undoubtedly frustrated and felt like management didn't have their back, and they were sick of trying. Then again, maybe a kick in the a$$ like this is what the...

Wasn't there a TV commercial where a baseball or football player was traded to another team for a case of beer? Minor leaguer traded for 10 baseball bats McALLEN, Texas (AP)—During three years in the low minors, John Odom never really made a name for himself. That sure changed this week—he’s...

The story makes it sound like this is old news, but what the hey... Sparano: Taylor not attending training camp Dolphins coach Tony Sparano just dropped something of a bombshell although we preall saw coming. "What I know and I'm glad we know this," Sparano said. "We gotten the information...

Now isn't that beautiful? The picture is from NFLshop.com, though that isn't where I ordered it from. I have a couple watches but they're of a cheaper make, so they keep needing repair at the jeweler's. I'm sick of taking them in, so I splurged on this one a little (it was $100.) I think it...

One of the things I've been meaning to do since I bought this thing, but never got around to, was install Windows or a simulator. Well now Mrs. TB up and bought an MP3 player that will only work with Windows, so now it's a necessity. Thing is, I'm confused about where to start. I went to the...

(link includes video) Little Leaguer Benched For Mom's No-Show Woman Was Supposed To Work Concession Stand BOSTON -- A Freetown baseball player was benched for two games because his mom did not help out at the concession stand. Jodie Hooper agreed to help when she signed a registration form...

I would like some input on this one. Mrs. TB and I have been discussing our annual Pats game trip. The last four seasons we went to a game in Foxboro with my group of friends from Patriots.com. This year I forgot to send my $$ and missed the deadline and was all in a tizzy. However, Mrs. TB...

We've all heard the jokes about stuff getting lost in the mail, but truth be told I have had very few problems with the USPS, and I prefer to use them whenever possible. I've had far more trouble with UPS (but that's a story for another thread.) NEway, a couple weeks ago I ordered a pair of...

I know it's not that uncommon for a pro athlete to wear a hat or shirt of a team other than the one he plays for (that one quarterback who plays for the Pats has done it, what's his name again?), but this really caught my eye the other day: <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie"...

I love America! I am in country only for 24 hours and already find job drive cab from Manhattan to airport! Man say I speak English enough good for job. Give me map of New Jersey to find way around great city. Nah just kiddin'. Actually I got a job in another department of the same clinic I was...

This is BS grandstanding of the worst kind. "My staff contacted the NFL and got stonewalled!" :***: WHO CARES??? Your job has nothing to do with this. Your staff has nothing better to do than call a sports office?? What does this have to do with you? Oh boo hoo, the Steelers beat the Pats in...

First, if the mods want to merge this into another thread that's fine, but I thought the simple, no BS approach of this article needs to be seen by as many Planeteers as possible. Second, if you want to flame with haters, I have posted the article on digg.com at this address...

Who do they think they are, a hockey team? Harbaugh’s Ravens brawl at minicamp OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP)—The Baltimore Ravens are doing more than merely fighting for jobs at their first mandatory minicamp under new coach John Harbaugh. They’re fighting each other, too. Nearly all 85 players in...
