Guilty As Charged

There is an article on Yahoo written by Jeffrey O'Brien of Fortune Magazine. It is about Zillow.com, for my uneducated friends, Zillow is a website started by the great minds that brought us Expedia. Zillow is a real estate site, that shows how much your homes is worth, comps in the neighborhood, recent sales, trends and homes for sale. Now for my readers in the Dakotas, you might be out of luck, they are probably not listed, but a large percentage of the country is. It is like going down to the courthouse and seeing how much your neighbors home is worth, except you don't have to put on clothes or leave the comforts of your own home. The following quote sums it up the best. "Caught red handed in a loop of real estate yuppie porn" Everyone wants to know what their house is worth and how much their neighbors are worth. Also people can edit the info on their own house to watch their price rise. I wonder is the County Assesors check that information... Check out the following story.

The Supposed Father of Basketball in Las Vegas

With the fast approaching NBA All-Star Game, sports columnist have been churning out stories of Old School Vegas and Jerry Tarkanian. The Tark came to Vegas in 1973, his wife is on the City Council and his son just ran and lost for Secretary of State. In 199o he UNLV killed Duke by 30 points to win the National Title, the next year the boys from Vegas reportedly shaved a few to many points and lost an upset to Duke, who went on to win. The Tark denies that his kids shaved the points. But its hard to believe a man when the NCAA puts sanctions on the team and The Tark retired in semi-disgrace. Members of his team were later caught hot-tubbing with a convicted game fixer, and what comment does the man who says he coached 19 years in Vegas and probably never bought 19 meals say "Every March there are upsets, Bucknell over Kansas, George Mason over Connecticut, but when it occurs no one says Kansas or UConn was throwing the game. Like the mob couldn't get to a player at a school outside of Vegas." Since The Tark's retirement UNLV has not won a NCAA Tournament Game. That might change this year with Lon Kruger's Runnin Rebels.

No NBA Team for Vegas

It appears that early reports that Mayor Oscar Goodman would announce a new stadium deal with a new NBA tenant were just gossip. We probably should have known when the lead reporter was Norm Clarke, who primarily reports on the locations if people famous only for being famous (like Paris Hilton and her no pantie squad).

Lovie Smith may have to much class

Tonight with 50 seconds to go, and down two touchdowns, Lovie Smith decided to just give up. His thoughts were probably that they could not win so why attempt to even try. So instead of the hurry up offense we get the lets give up offensive. That game should have ended with three wide receivers in the end zone and a jump ball. Instead it was a Thomas Jones run and then no play they just let time run off. What ever team out there is considering Lovie should think again, when the game is on the line, and his friend is on the other sideline he would rather give up, than take a shot to beat his buddy it what would be the greatest comeback in history.

Thanks Lovie...You Suck. Also who names there son Lovie, I guess they knew he would "Love" his friend instead of trying to beat him.

My Sister AKA "The Lucky One"

Most of my readers know my sister is in Advertising and she gets a lots of cool perks to go with her 70 hour work week. As most the nation freezes this weekend, she is in sunny Miami for the Superbowl. Friday night was low key, just a party on the beach with a old hasbeen named Prince. Followed by drift fishing tomorrow during the day, and the granddaddy party of all time, The Playboy Superbowl Bash, and then not that 180 million people won't be watching but she will be at what Vegas calls "The North American Football Championship" on Sunday. They are not allowed to call it "Superbowl."

Oh by the way DA BEARS
