Roundup: Jeremy Lin Gives Advice, Rumble at a Casino Buffet & Dana White Calls Floyd Mayweather Racist
Megan Fox … “Why The Fast Food Industry Hates The Idea of Raising The Minimum Wage” … Miss Finland wearing a bikini on the beach … “Five Guys burglarized by two guys” … thieves are now stealing door knockers? … interesting sartorial selection for this news anchor … I don’t get twitter curation – can’t you decide who to follow and unfollow on your own? … the Dow hit 13,000 for the first time since 2008 … “El Paso police chief confirms woman shot by bullet from Juarez” … in case you haven’t been keeping up with the Inquirer-Daily News situation … Homer at the Bat, 20 years later … sad and inspiring …

February 22nd, 2012 at 9:19 AM
Not sure why three teams in the Elite Eight seems improbable. 1. OSU is still solid despite a couple of recent losses. 2. Izzo 3. Granted Michigan or Wisconsin is a stretch, however a couple of favorable match-ups (especially if Michigan somehow sneaks into a #3 seed) and either one of these two could advance.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:19 AM
This right here. Can’t wait for baseball and fantasy baseball for that matter.

Yes it was. But according to Scalia, the definition of choking easy: lose when you’re favored. I believe Bill has done that the last two Super Bowls but nobody calls him a ‘choker’. And I don’t either.

Never really had the desire to go… I’m sure I’ll go once, but I’d rather go somewhere with a beach. Vegas seems like it would be full of a lot of people that would just annoy me.

Never found Megan Fox particularly attractive. That face on her forearm was always a major turnoff.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:38 AM
Went for my 1st time, at the end of Feb last year. Got there after 1am on a Thurs morning & left Sunday morning. Have to say I enjoyed Fremont St more than the Mandalay Bay, where I was staying. Plus, coming the East Coast, was constantly tired as the nite approached. I think by Sunday, I was caught up to time change, and then had to leave.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:39 AM
Does he have a job yet?
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:39 AM
I’ve never been, but wouldn’t mind going. they have cheap flights from here too. I’m with you on the better places to go though. I’ve done a decent amount of traveling in the US, but there are still other places I would rather go than Vegas.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:39 AM
To be fair, I think you’ll have that problem no matter where you go.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:39 AM
The strip is exactly like that. I like downtown Vegas better. It helps to have a tour guide that has lived there for 20 years. And I’m with you on the beach. My main reason to go is to visit family.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:40 AM
Well that’s the definition for some people:

February 22nd, 2012 at 9:40 AM
With no Pujols and no Fielder, the Reds have to be the favorites to win the Central, right? Until they don’t and then they’re a bunch of chokers. But that’s nothing new…. The not winning the division part. Not the choking part.

February 22nd, 2012 at 9:42 AM
Vegas is best in 3 day spurts, nothing more. My step-dad’s parents lived there and we did touristy stuff when I went there fifteen years ago. Saw the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canynon. But it’s just fun to go and eat well and party. But yeah, I’d rather go to the Caribbean or somewhere else warm and with a beach.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:42 AM
Do you think that is the definition, Scalia? If not, my apologies. That definition of choking should be credited to J-Mac.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:42 AM
OK, Matty_Cam. You’ve been a regular for long enough now. Going to need a fandom check. I’m guessing you’re in the Midwest. Who are your teams?
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:43 AM
Cardinals are still best team in the Central. Then the Reds or Brewers. Reds only have another two years before Votto is gone.

I’ve never been to Vegas either. Never had the desire to go.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:44 AM
And everything in Vegas costs so flippin much. And if you’re not a big gambler (like myself), options are limited.

February 22nd, 2012 at 9:46 AM
I’d love to go to Vegas, but it’s not a destination I envision myself revisiting. Once my last friend from my group graduates/becomes gainfully employed, the 1st place we’re going to will either be Vegas, Mardi Gras, or Caribana.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:46 AM
I’ve done a decent amount of traveling in the US, but there are still other places I would rather go than Vegas.
I honestly think I’d have a better time spending a weekend in San Francisco or Seattle than I would in Vegas. I’m just not a “club” guy and I don’t really gamble, so I’ve really never looked into going out there.
My brother is going for the first weekend of the tournament this year… I could see that being kind of fun if you just hung out in the sports book all day.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:47 AM
Did everyone see the adorable wolf pups and baby sloth on Zooborns?
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:48 AM
Talk to pit bosses. Gamble in the same places and make sure you get players club cards from the properties. After two trips, most of your trip should be comp’d. The Harrah’s properties (Caesar Entertainment) are the widest collection and you can spend your points at all of them.
The best thing you can do when you first get there is pick which casino you’ll be doing most of your table gambling at (I’d recommend MGM, it’s the largest) and find a pit boss. Tell him you’re planning on coming back later in the year to throw a bachelor party and you’d like to get a survey of what’s available. They’ll give you free tastes all weekend.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:48 AM
I have credit for flights that I have to use by the end of August. Trying to decide where to go to use it. Vegas is the top of the list for me, since I haven’t been there. It seems like it’s one of those things you do, even just to say you’ve been there.

Sorry if I missed your sarcasm. Yes, JMac has very loose definitions of choke and fraud.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:50 AM
yeah shouldn’t you be holding a kid or something? congrats man, now learn to clean a shotgun.
exactly how I am. I’ve been to SF and would rather go back than go to Vegas. Seattle/Vancouver is on my list as well.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:51 AM
The goal for every Vegas trip is the same for me. Win enough to pay for my flight and hotel. You never pay for booze when you gamble. Only expenses are pool drinks and meals. $300 in total spending is the goal after gambling winnings.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:52 AM

Correct on the midwest part if you consider Northern Kentucky the ‘midwest’. I lived in Lexington before I moved up here for work and I highly encourage anyone who has never been, to go visit. Bourbon, horses, and women, in no particular order. Funny thing is Lexington is considered Southern so take that for what it’s worth.
This is the long way of saying my teams are the Reds, unfortunately the Bengals (because of Mike Brown not because of the Red Rifle and AJ Green, I follow the NBA but moreso players than any particular team but gun to head answer would be the Lakers because of Kobe, and of course, Kentucky basketball.
