YouTube guys gloat, assure site consistency

The old news: Google bought YouTube for $1.65B. You can listen to the conference call with Eric Schmidt, Sergey, and many others here.

The new(er) news: The YouTube guys posted this video on their site:

Seems like their gloating some, huh? “Thanks for our million dollar payouts. Keep posting your videos. etc”

Torre to stay

Surprising decision from the Boss. I think a good one.

Meanwhile, Rob Raissman, a TV columnist for the NY Daily News, says that the Yankees should’ve fired Torre because of TV ad revenue the Yankees could lose on the YES Network as advertisers head for the Mets success.  As an outsider, I have a hard time that the NYC-area is so bandwagon that the Mets will have much higher ratings last year.  Maybe I’m wrong.

Dolans make bid to buy back Cablevision

Deal is worth $19.2B. They could’ve bought them selves several copies of YouTube for that much. haha

Guess this means the Knicks will be bad for a while longer.

Do small-market NFL teams need THIS much help?

Sen. Schumer today announced a coalition of senators representing small-market NFL clubs. Don’t they have something more important to be doing? Just curious.

Next Little T Book?

The T.O. Bowl has arrived

I’m worried.  I’d pick Dallas (with the points or straight up), but I hope that I’m very wrong.  I’ll have pictures Sunday night/Monday.

GO BIRDS!!!

E   A   G   L   E   S   EAGLES!!! 

Start spreading the news

The $200M goliath is out, and hasn’t “comprehended what’s just happened in the last few hours, much less to think about what’s ahead…”

Good for the Tigers.  Imagine if the Phillies had hired Leland.  What am I saying, Manuel is a much better selection.

T.O. Childrens’ Books?

T.O. will be releasing a three-part childrens’ book series:

  1. “Little T Learns to Share”
  2. “Little T Learns What Not to Say”
  3. “Little T Learns to Say I’m Sorry”

Too bad T.O. doesn’t know how to do any of the three.

Mayor Street ticketed for expired registration and inspections

This is old news, but it’s too good to be true.

If the Mayor drives his van, then it could be towed away under a plan he championed. Terrific. Congrats Mayor Street!

Manuel to return in 07, Gillick never considered firing

Certainly disappointing.  Hopefully Gillick knows what he’s doing.
