The private equity model of loading clubs with debt has to end.

I'm still shocked that you would have anything to do with something that comes out of Florida! >> And I'd happily spill blood to see Hicks and Gillett out of Anfield.

There are so many sports I'd rather watch. Most Americans agree with me. It's just a matter of taste ... <<Especially ironic because the foot is barely used in the sport...haha>> Well, since the players are moving using the feet ... why am I having this discussion again? Jets-Fins is about to kick-off ...

Interesting that you were a Dolphins fan as a kid, although they were more entertaning in the 80s and 90s. I remember when the Fins played the 49ers at Wembley in 1988 ... I actually was supposed to go, but life got in the way. <<Soccer has always been my first love though - and Liverpool FC are my boys.>> Well, go Liverpool!

I don't even know if I've formally met her in the past - Doobie told me that she was a lady that came up to me at D23 Expo last night and started talking to me as if we were BFF. I was polite enough not to ask who she was to her face. >> Probably for the best ... the one thing (well, there are many but ...) that many of these online website folks seem to share is a lot of chaos in their personal lives, so it's almost as if Disney is their 'constant' and not in a particularly healthy way. <<I am a bit surprised as to how Disney has gotten over its 'issues' with him, and he now seems to be 'A' list material when it comes to Disney fan sites.>> <<I've no idea - I don't visit his site and only see the headlines on LP - it all looks like puff pieces to me.>> I visit his site from time to time ... depending on what's going on in the Disney Fan Community. His stuff seemed much meatier years ago. These days, I would tend to agree with you. It all seems very puff like ... but that may be why The Mouse's PR hacks now see fit to include him in just about anything that happens in the USA. I do admit, I'm a bit surprised you're attending this D23 event ... please tell Zenia the fans love her! ;-)

How in the world does talking about theme parks and entertainment companies lead to that?>> <<It's unblieveable how vicious Disney fans can be.>> Scary. You can't talk smack about The Mouse ... those people are truly mentally ill.

They looked pretty good last week, and won. They're down 7-0 to the Jets now (and I turned down free tix from pals at NBC because ... well, I'd rather watch from home!)

Small cell phone cameras make people think you're trying to photograph people in the stalls doing their business. I've found big cameras with long lenses work well to show just how professional this type of documentation is.

Glad I watched Mad Men tonight, instead. (Seriously, Mad Men is killing this season. So so so so so so so good. Ain't I articulate?) P.S. Did anyone see "The Event"? I didn't but the commercials made it look like a desperate attempt to generate a "Lost" buzz. Pitiful hackery.
