I'd like to see a breakdown (piechart) on where the money comes from in from major sports? Is it from advertising? espn? ticket sales? Jerseys and Bobbleheads?
i guess in summary i am shocked...

Get over it, dude. :razz:
I want to go badly. Dropping b-day hints. You going? I'd be looking form someone to go with if I do go since Mrs. Wookie doesn't do sports.
lets do it. i've been wanting to catch a match since it's within mugging distance from my hood
Okay, I still need clearance from Mission control though. I'll get back to you before the end of the week.

hahaha. i had some coffee this morning and it has finally worn off. i'm good now.
sold my sticks so i'm on the hunt for new sticks that will magically make me 30 pounds lighter, 4 inches taller, allow me to strike the sweetspot every single time and maybe cure cancer too between changeovers.
suggestions?
Problem is there's only one left in the free world, and I have it. Too bad.
yadda yadda baseball is back? again? how the heck does arod get 30 mil a year and sabathia 34 mil a year?! for comparison kobe "i like to get 30 a night by chucking up 30 shots" gets 27 mil a year and lebron "i'm only the best player and probably most recognizable active sports icon in the world" gets 17 mil a year.
on the other hand that griner chick from baylor is going to be the #1 pick in the wnba. do they have a draft? anyway she is set to make at most 105k a year.
i guess in summary i am shocked that mlb players still make so much money when it's the second or third most popular sport in the u.s. of a.
i'm shocked that the best nba players don't make more money and regular run of the mill players are paid 90% of what a superstar makes.
i'm shocked nfl players are paid so poorly in relation to the mlb and nba.
i'm shocked at how little wnba players make until i think about the fact that the entire league makes no money and is kept afloat by the nba as mostly a PR move and possibly tax breaks..
i don't care about nhl. i am mildly amused that the pretty boy from the pens got his face smushed. go caps?
also here's a fun trailer for a new movie coming out this summer. james franco, emma watson, seth rogan.

so you're saying there's at least another one in north korea? i know denis rodman.

Sappy, mission control says it's a go. How do you want to coordinate on tickets?
Will change my DC plans since we have not bought plane tickets yet. Just read the 17 year Cicadas are expected to be out by Memorial Day. When do those suckers typically clear out? Would I be safe heading up there the 2nd week of June?
will it sell out? i'll be back in town next week and will check with one of the enlisted that has some connections for decent seats. i think he said something like $60-70? dunno. seems kinda high for goofy european sport that uses their feet to kick a ball into each other's nut sac for 90mins..

I remember the 2004 emergence. Damn, that was messy. And loud.
I was there for that, too, but wasn't it just 9 years ago? I'm just an old broken down English/History major, but the next 17-year-cicada outbreak should not occur until 2021, right? Just askin'.
Do you guys play lets if a cicada interrupts a shot?
Latest string sensation: Cicada gut / poly hybrid
Coming to a public tennis court this spring in CT, MD, NC, NJ, NY, PA, and VA...
Anyone up for a Mini-meet Saturday afternoon? I'm hitting with Dats Saturday, figure the more the merrier.
I can hit after 2pm.
I'm open to suggestions for locations. Maybe Lewinsville park in McLean?

I was wondering that myself. Apparently, while they hatch every 13-17 years, there are different 'broods' (that's the term they use), and each 'brood' has it's own cycle.
As it turns out, cicadas are hatching practically every year, but in different places around the country, and in different quantities. According to this site: http://gardenersnet.com/atoz/cicada.htm
The "2013 Cicada infestation is sizable, and will arrive in a number of states this spring. They are: CT, MD, NC, NJ, NY, PA, and VA".
Yay.

geez i was thinking wakefield or towers would be greatl!
are there any tennis courts near Plaka Grill? i could totally go for that after some tennis!
wait a minute... sappy isn't around??? gawdblamit! who's gonna chow down with me during or after this meetup? the dats gets HUNGRY! (and thirsty!)
p.s. - i am on day 6 of my "30day gym challenge"! i keep flexing for jwoww but so far she is not impressed! i guess i gotta keep goin! i've dropped from 213 to 205.5 but need to keep going! GO DATS GO!
Striker, looks promising! They even have some bball courts there that Dats and I can show off our declining ball skills...hahaha
Dats, Plaka shouldn't be too far from those courts right? Cunningham Park, where a few of us play, is quite close to Plaka as well. I'd be up to chowing down and having a few brews afterwards, if I indeed can get out there...
Cunningham has my vote due to Plaka proximity! but i guess ill go wherever.
there's gotta be a bar with beer and wings close to Lewinsville? time to bing it so i dont get screwgled!
Where's cunningham park? This the spot? https://maps.google.com/maps?q=cunn...q=cunningham+park+vienna,+va&t=h&z=17&iwloc=A

*Let me know if there are any changes
you can do a 5% off pay day?
CB -- are you healed up? weather is getting nice. we can hit in front of your house. i can show up like this in the morning:
irad -- are you healed up?
anyone else walking wounded?
Worked for me. Mrs. X didn't much care for it, but she never asked me to clean the deck again.
Almost had that happen to me yesterday on the deck. I had a partial frozen propane tank and when I started the grill for the first time, a fire ball shot up!
Good news is that when I play poker, I have a better pokerface, since I have no eyebrows for ppl to tell now.
Uncle Leo.. why the hostility?! This will go in your charts <seinfeld reference>
