    When I was a kid I spent a lot of time at my Grandfather's house after my Grandmother passed away. I cut his grass and did chores for him. His TV was on for only a half hour ever day, for the nightly news. Other than that we read books and listened to his coo-coo clock going off every freaking fifteen minutes. Saturdays were a treat because the TV would be on for a whole hour - to watch Lawrence Welk. I kid not. Another treat was when we would share a cold 8 ounce Coke. So yeah, I'm a bit old school and I grew up reading books and still like to feel a paper in my hands.

    My daughter had to read 5 books before I let her have a cell phone... 1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451,  Time Machine, Animal Farm...I said I would buy the phone if she read War and Peace...  from 11 -13 yrs old she finished all the books. I bought her a phone for her 13th. When her friends come over she gathers their electronics in a pillow case and puts in our bedroom with 150lb Akita. Kids don't get back until they leave. So we still old skool in our house...

    My wife is from illinoiS. She can't stand it when I pronounce the S. 

    I had to explain I do it on purpose.  It is a sign of disrespect for all that illinoiS fails to offer their students, university, the community, and really the world. 

    I myself do that in disrespect as well...

    Midwest born and bred, but having lived in LA for the last 15+ years I gotta say the West Coast is the best when it comes to watching games. Everything is paced out perfectly, and I feel like we can see more games too.

    Stationed in San Diego. I hated the 9am (12pm est) games on Sat mornings.
