“He Does It Again!”

Federer nailes a tweener at the US Open – August 30, 2010

GE, thank you.

Ouch – I personally think the facemask grab was good enough.

The Big Lead, thank you

And, we’re done.

Andy, thank you.

Hopefully they got Aaron’s entry wrong and he meant Miley was his favorite musician.

Ok, maybe her being his favorite musician isn’t any better.

The Big Lead, thank you.

Good question. I’m not sure but would LOVE to help figure it out.

Soho Properties – the developer of the Islamic center – only owns 45-47 Park Place. But, they changed the name of the proposed site from Cordoba House to Park 51…playing off the street number 51 on Park Place in New York.

Major issue: Soho Properties doesn’t own 51 Park Place – Con Ed does. And, they don’t own 51parkplace.com or 51parkpl.com – I do.

So, my goal of building something as equally controversial to 50+% of Americans at 51 Park Place is simple – ha! All I need is a couple million dollars to outbid Soho Properties.

Note: I think freedom of speech/religion is the cornerstone of our country. Build a mosque within blocks of Ground Zero if you think that’s a smart idea. But, I’d love to see which insurance company is underwriting a policy for the proposed location…there are a lot of crazy a$$ Tim McVeigh wannabes ready and willing to rent a Ryder truck.

Update: Donald Trump offers to buy 51 Park Place – http://j.mp/bogSZD.  Mr. Trump, www.51parkplace.com is available too. It’s not going to be cheap though. Holler: bcclistblog@gmail.com.

Dude listed the item as sexy? It’s a shame/understandable that there were 0 bids on this Ebay auction:

Emily, thank you.

INTERESTING FACT ABOUT AUGUST 2010:

Did you know, August 2o10 has 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays, and 5 Tuesdays all in one month? This happens once every 823 years.

Gavin, thank you.

Update 1: This is not true. Perhaps a hoax…

Fox Sports publishes the following but fails to include a link to the yanked story by Arash Markazi…weird.

It was supposedly Draymond’s first time golfing. I think he’s left handed.  Could you imagine him as your golf partner? One of several reasons my hypothetical kid will never learn to golf.

Burchie, thank you.

That’s going to leave a mark! The announcers suggested that Crawford and all baseball players needed to wear a cup – he had to have a cup on, right? Enjoy/cry…

Thank you, Andy.

OMG – Detroit has figured out that their ads should make consumers actually want to buy a car.  Meaning, instead of pitching a 60 day return on your vehicle (GM and Dodge) or a free Dell computer (Ford), they’re now starting to make decent ads! Like this Jeep ad from last month, Chevy hits a home run here:

What are the odds that the same ad agency which created the Jeep ad created the Corvette ad also?

Make sure you click HD in the top right hand corner of the video player.

A lot more to come in the very near future including a launch of the actual site and full length videos…ha!
