Congrats to the USA World Cup team on a draw? I've tried it a few times now and I am simply not getting why the entire world goes cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs over soccer. Carry on.
ESPN.com has taken a big lead in my search for a new fantasy football website for 2010. Many thanks to my friend, Dave, for helping me get past the obstacle I couldn't get past on my own. It offers most of what I'm looking for and only has a couple of minor drawbacks. I'm about 99% committed.
It's hot at CrabAppleLane today. Love the shade our backyard trees provide. I planted two of them, myself. They're the tow you see here, Bradford Pear in the foreground and Chinese Tallow in the background. They're getting big and starting to block the satellite signal. They're also keeping grass from growing in areas where we always had grass. Not sure what I want to do about it yet. Hate the thought of cutting one or both down only slightly less than I hate the thought of moving the satellite dish. I offer one from the shady, but still very hot, CrabAppleLane backyard.

Quote from said blog: "Jets fans who want season tickets in the lower bowl of the New Meadowlands Stadium are required to buy the seat licenses, which cost as much as $30,000 per ticket."

You can send a little of that heat up this way if you want. I'm afraid my tomato plants are going to rot away.
No way I'm ever spending $30,000/seat just for the right to buy a ticket. I could be the richest man in the world and I would still find the very idea of that to be offensive.
I have never understood how the idea of personal seat licenses ever got off of the ground, Dave. Even the more modest $2500 PSLs are ridiculous if they don't include a ticket to every event held in that stadium. I understand the need to find financing for these new state-of-the-art stadiums and I concede that those stadiums are good for the game but I wouldn't even consider tossing $30k a year into my team's coffers on top of the ticket prices, parking, concessions, etc ... even if I had it to toss.
