More Bears News: Orlando Pace now a new Chicago Bear

This is so awesome. I can't believe the Bears are spending like this to bring on some talent!

Very excited about upgrading the offensive line with Pace. Now we need to sign up a few wide receivers (Marvin Harrison still out there) and we'll be much better!

Twitter is the hot thing - but not as hot as YouTube

Now one could argue that it's not about unique visitors. It's all about the number of "tweets" whereas YouTube is truly a destination site. Eventually you build a community, then you need to figure out how to make money. Hopefully, Twitter figures it out quicker than Facebook (still searching) and YouTube (still searching too).

Jay Cutler Traded to the Chicago Bears

It's true! Jay Cutler has actually landed to the Bears, in exchange for 2 first round picks and Kyle Orton. I am so PUMPED for the upcoming season. Now we need to find some decent receivers. Don't really see Hester being a real threat this year.

Thoughts?

Scary Personalities: Suze Orman

Suze Orman, financial guru, sure has a lot of great things to say. But just watching her in action is really quite scary. Maybe it's the (fake?) tan thing, or maybe it's her hair cut with blonde streaks. Maybe it's her relentless energy. Just can't put my finger on it. Can you?

Final Four: Predictions?

First, let me state what conferences remain:

Big East, Big Ten, and ACC. No Pac-10, huh? Hmmmm...i'm not surprised.

Now, we have to predict some winners (even though my bracket is completely busted. I had Oklahoma beating Wake Forest. Wow, was I wrong!).

UNC (They are playing so well with their inside-out game. Lawson healthy, hittin' treys.)

Michigan State. (They're undefeated as a #2 seed in the NCAA tournament - don't ever doubt the Mighty Izzo.)

There. Now let's see if I'm right. Don't know why you would believe me though given my track record this year.

The Black Mullet

Yesterday, I saw a really interesting haircut. What may be considered a black mullet. Well, really, it was a head shaved, except for the back of the head, where long strands were braided.

This photo kind of reminded me of Me Phi Me from back in the day. Anyone remember him? He had just one long braid coming out of his head.

Actually, come to think of it, Kanye West went mullet-y recently. As did I.

Suhweeet Story: I'll take a slice of pizza...and a kilo of cocaine

Picture of an authentic Neapolitan Pizza Margh...

Only in New York...

A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled into a pizza shop where nobody was eating pizza, and yet was full of "customers" hanging out at all the tables.

Overcome by my hunger, I ordered a slice of pizza and sat down at a table across the table of two patrons who proceeded to stare back at me while I ate the pizza.

Then three tourists came in and ordered pizzas, looked around to find seats, and realized the only seating available was in a dark upstairs level. They went up there, then quickly sprinted down the stairs, grabbed their pizza and left. Shortly thereafter, two people came down from the upstairs level. Hmmm. Shady.

While munching on the crust of my pizza, I figured - something was amiss. Even B, and W told me they never ever go into this place for pizza, no matter how hungry they are. And they work across the street.

Well, watching the news today, I see that at another pizza shop in the Bronx, they indeed serve pizza, calzones....and cocaine. Not only that, but you can have it all DELIVERED! I wonder if you get a discount for buying in bulk?

From 7online.com
BRONX (WABC) -- Six people have been arrested on charges of selling cocaine out of a Bronx pizza parlor. Special narcotics prosecutor Bridget Brennan says investigators seized nearly 20 pounds of cocaine, about $20,000 cash and four guns.

Brennan said the criminals concealed drugs in pizza boxes - and even offered delivery or takeout.

The prosecutor said Wednesday that the gang packaged varying amounts of cocaine at the pizzeria.
