MLB Pool - Game 7 Winner - Round 3 Spots Still Open!
I am at a loss for words. How could the Cubs loose?
And what's going to happen to that fan that fucked up Alou's catch in Game 6?
Yes, Round 2 of the MLB Pools is in the books & proving that when it rains, it pours (and I mean that in a good way):
Game 7: 600 Reward Points From Advertising Revenue Service
Chicago 6 (42) Florida 9 (40) - Winner: WicKed
Yes, WicKed also won MommaBig yesterday, so his lucky streak is HOT!
The good news for the 30 of you still in the SuperBowl Pool is that WicKed is not entered! LOL
Congrats WicKed - now go buy some lottery tickets!
That does of course bring us to Round 3 of the MLB Pools - we still have spots left! All you have to do to enter is email me the link to your profile here on the board & I'll get you on the pool!
Seeing as the World Series is scheduled to start on Saturday night & taking into account that I will be on a plane to Vegas when it starts (YIPEE!) I will need to finalize the pool by 2 PM EDT on Saturday the 18th, so please, if you want in the pool, email me me ASAP!
Superbowl Picks Needed
With the weekend approaching, I need to remind those that are still in the Super Bowl Pool that I need to have your picks emailed to me by Noon EDT on Saturday. Remember, if I don't have the email in my inbox by noon, you are out of the pool.
Seattle seems to be the popular pick this week.........

STOP This Madness
Our industry is currently under attack from companies that hold legal Patents.
These companies are forcing webmasters to pay them a license fee to stream video on their sites.
Acacia claim simply downloading a zip of audio or video ALSO infringed on the patents too, not just streaming.
ANY transmission of compressed files in those two formats were under their umbrella
However some companies believe these patents are far too broad and will be invalidated in court.
They are fighting this instead of just giving in.
These companies are now faced with massive legal fees to invalidate these patents.
Should they lose this case, then you will have to apply to Acacia for the right to stream videos on your site.
Should they grant you this right they will then fix the fees they think applicable. They can refuse you.
There are also two more companies with patents similar to the one Acacia holds waiting on the outcome of this action.
Should this one be lost they can come and ask for you to apply and for pay a similar license.
The two organizations fighting this on behalf of the industry need you support , as little or as much as you can.
If you are not aware of this issue can I suggest you look at these sites and learn about them,
you may not do videos today but you may need to in the future, protect your future today.
Have a Great Day
Greenguy And Jim
