  1. Today my Dad goes in for double (potentially quadruple depending on other blockage) bypass surgery today.  He had a heart attack Friday.   This is hard for us, none of the family could see him over the weekend or before his surgery.   And his poor nurses had to deal with a crotchety old man who didn't have his phone, hearing aides or teeth.   Bless those care givers for having to deal with him when he can't communicate very well and is hangry.

      @sho How did things go? I had heart catherization on Monday as well, 95 - 99% blockage on my LAD artery. Everything went well for me, as I hope things went well for your father.

      @huKSer  Seems like we are past the worst of it.  He ended up getting a quadruple bypass Monday.   Still in ICU, waiting for a room to open up.   Probably stay at the hospital for a few more days and then to a rehab facility for at least a week.    Thanks for asking!

  2. Supreme court allows states to legalize sports betting.  If a book opens in Iowa, I'm going to be over at the casino every weekend.

      The sales tax is more because of Amazon type purchases where so many are tax free.  And on-line gambling, if you are a winner, your income on your 1099-G would be taxable on state tax returns, so yes, while it's 'not legal' in Nebraska, you would still be taxed on it.  Regardless Ricketts is dumb.

      Anyone know how this will effect online betting? Will american casinos start doing online stuff?

      Yes, they will...but I think you will also see a lot of Bar/Books...this is just a guess but I think big college towns will "get out in front of this" and the bars there will attack this head on with parlay cards and line wagers with a max bet, 10 or 20 dollars, something like that.  

  3. Too early to start the Ty Lue coming home rumors?

      Maybe we could pay him $100,000 / year and make Cleveland pay him the $6.9 million difference.

      From the article I read it sounds like he’s just going to take a leave of absence. (His symptoms sound like panic attacks brought on by intense stress.):(

      Rumor away.  But what makes him a better coach than others?  NU ties?
