I hate the NFL network. Or rather, I hate my cable company. Or rather, whichever is responsible for there being NFL football on and me not being able to watch it. Last week it was the epic NFC matchup between the Cowboys and the Packers we were locked out of, now its the emotional conflict with Sean Taylor’s team.

I can see merits on both sides of the argument, but come on! The NFL is trying to get the most money for its network, and the cable company has a thin margin between what they payout for content and what they charge subscribers. I get it. But you both are spending more on ad campaigns (the nfl even with tv commercials on espn, both with extensive newspaper ads) than you stand to lose on making a comprimise that works for the CONSUMER. So in the meantime, fuck both of you.

If you want to watch the games you are locked out of on the NFL Network FOR FREE, use this guide on Zeropaid.

So recently I have been really into promoting eBay’s program and having a lot of fun. We have created a bunch of niche sites and use eBay’s api to get listings. Funny thing happened though, I really started to get addicted to some of these sites. My Dad has always been into real estate and would always point out cool buildings and why they would or wouldn’t be a good investment, so even though I can’t buy any of them at the moment I find myself clicking and clicking on the Commercial Property listings on Property for Pennies. So much cool stuff out there.

Another thing my Dad was always into is classic cars. We originally made Carsforagrand.com for people that need cheap transportation, but the thing that keeps me clicking is the cheap classic cadillacs, Chevys, and Fords. Just old cars that people have had sitting on their property god-knows-where that are cool to look at.

Yeeeeeeeah man!!! MY San Diego SuperChargers have a new offensive weapon in veteran wideout Chris Chambers. He was in the 2001 draft class with LT and has played for Norv in the past. This is awesome, but I will let LT tell it:

“Teams are going to really have to now choose if they want to play eight men in the box and leave those guys one-on-one,” Tomlinson said. “He’s going to take the pressure off a lot of us on this offense. In the famous words of (Terrell Owens), ‘get your popcorn ready.’”
