The Top 50 Movies of the Decade Big Stupid Tommy posted his top 50 films from the past 10 years . Interesting list. Tommy laments that he's behind on his movie watching. I was amazed that of the movies that he picked as his top 50 - I have seen only 22 of them (and some of them I haven't even ...

The Economics of Pinball Interesting look at the economics of pinball machines . What really killed pinball machines is portability. Video games can have home versions via game consoles or handheld versions. The physical size of a pinball machine was the real killer. Many bars don't even have ...

NFL Flotsam and Jetsam Miscellaneous NFL thoughts and observations. Kudos to Adam Schefter of ESPN who said that Oakland was a team to watch for an upset this weekend during an appearance on WEEI radio last week... If the Patriots finish with the second best record in the AFC - then I think ...

Cool Meteor Video Cool video of a meteorite that lit up the Utah night . I agree that the coolest thing was the meteorite tricking the photovoltaic streetlights into thinking it was daylight. It had to be very bright to do that.

Dallas McPherson The A's have signed Dallas McPherson to a minor league deal . This could be a real steal for the A's. I know McPherson has serious back issues but if he's able to stay healthy then he'd be an upgrade over the players the A's trotted out at 3rd base last year. Consider that in ...

Malice in the Palace It has been five years to the day that Ron Artest went nuts in that Palace in Auburn Hills. Here was my reaction from the time . I think the sentiments hold up pretty well after 5 years. Even with the Celtics riding high - my enthusiasm for the NBA has waned because of ...

Pats / Colts It's been a few days since Sunday night's controversial decision by Bill Belichick and I'm just now weighing in on it. I've avoided the subject because it is associated with a loss in my mind and I try to stay away from things that have negative connotations in my mind. During the ...

One Million Sometime last night this site got it's one millionth page view. I think that's pretty cool. I know that number isn't that great when compared to some of the bigger blogs out there but still to be able to get one million of anything is an accomplishment in my eyes. The site also has ...

Dan Uggla for Jason Bay? Interesting thought - why not replace Jason Bay with Dan Uggla ? I don't like the fact that Uggla is a strikeout machine who averages a K per game (1 SO per 4.4 plate appearance) but that's only slightly worse than Bay. His OPS+ of 114, however, is 17 points worse than ...

Arnold Rothstein I was reminded that on this day in 1928, Arnold Rothstein was shot. The gunshot was fatal. Most people only know Rothstein as the man accused as being the brains behind the 1919 Black Sox scandal. That part of his life is in question. What is not in question is that he was to ...
