Steve Wynn Begs For Mercy
Podcasts May 14th, 2007It’s time for an update on some of Vegas’ latest news stories. Brian and Tommy take a look at HBO CEO Chris Albrecht’s past, get to the bottom of the Luxor parking lot bomb, and the unthinkable has happened at the Wynn.
Too serious for you? Well fear not. They also discuss Ricky Henderson stuck in a time warp, the search for the ultimate TAI spokesmodel, and a relaxing day by the pool gets awkward. Just wait ’til Billy gets here!

This Ain’t Iowa First Annual Offical Summer Blowout
Dates: June 10-14
Nothing beats naming a ONE MAN VACATION. Seriously let’s fire it up. Mid-week. Cheap Rates. AMAZING POKER. The WSOP, Bellagio Cup III and Venetian Deep Stack Exstravaganza all going off. I plan on playing at the Venetian unless I satellite into another event.
June 11 No-Limit Hold’em $330
June 12 Limit Hold’em $330
June 13 No-Limit Hold’em $540
There should be lots of extra time for drinking and debauchary ie Gilmore Girls Sidebetting.
May 14th, 2007 at 6:14 pm
A couple of gouchers from this am’s episode.
Alyssa has got to be a lock for the spokesmodel of the show. Born 19Dec72. I was also born in 1972. Also, in college my roommates and I had a lifesized cutout of Judith Light that I stole from a TV station that worked in in high school. That provided YEARS of nonstop entertainment. I also went OUT of my way to buy a rare magazine called Bikini in 1992 that featured her in their premiere issue TOPLESS. Cha-Ching.
Great sushi discussion. Sushi is probably my favorite meal in which to go out for. Nothing beats getting a large Sapporro and large hot Sake and then piling in the amazing fish. I haven’t been to the Social House, but maybe we can fire it up when I’m out there in June. My favorite Vegas location is also Nobu. I was turned on to this joint by nonother than Erick Lindgren. I was playing him on Full Tilt one day and he said he was going to sushi for his birthday. I asked him for the best sushi recommendation in Vegas…Nobu.

Tired of having your mind numbed by the senseless drivel of some National League Fanboy expressing the merits of the Gilmore Girls for Christ Sake? Then come over to the following link and participate with in a literature discussion with others who have actually completed postgraduate education. Joking of course, I spend most of my time talking about taking dumps and what the term is called for “third ups” you know the one after “sloppy seconds” , but Trainfan’s site rules and everyone should get in the mix.

PS. Awesome Ricky Henderson talk today. David Cross has a hilarious bit about speaking about yourself in the third person and HAMMERS on Ricky. Check it out on one of his CD’s. Brian gave us a taste of it today. Patch is gunna do what patch is gunna do.

Patch Patch Patch,

Don’t even get me started on Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. Brilliant writing in a His Girl Friday delivery. Excellent acting and a courageous stance on so many issues.
I know you consider the dutch oven a form of art so I shouldn’t expect much…but come on man…Joking of course.
May 14th, 2007 at 8:04 pm
ricky henderson update: i went to yesterday’s afternoon game and this time ricky was suited up and on the field in a coaching capacity. apparently he is on the Mets staff as a roving base-running coach.
May 14th, 2007 at 8:24 pm
hey patch, i am looking to play in those same events, so as long as i don’t go broke in the first 11 days of june, i’ll see you there.
note on the TAI blow out: both TI and Venetian will host private tables and provide dealers, etc. and i think they just charge their normal rake. i would gladly pay the house to host a game and provide drinks.
May 14th, 2007 at 8:49 pm
WHOA! Tommy Dutch, i was more than willing to overlook your love of the the Gilmore Girls. we all have our personal peccadilos and i am sure there are lots of things we all like that others would find strange - thats the whole point of this podcast, but you lost me at the “best show of the last decade.” are you fucking kidding me? there are dozens of others shows that should be put ahead of it since 1997.
May 14th, 2007 at 8:57 pm
Casino homegame?
KILLER!
Fobes btw how yous doing in the Mirage Tourney? I’m sure you’ll be livin’ large by the 11th. It’ll be awesome going into battle with a TAI collegue. Maybe we can swap pieces/crossbook or even better work out a lastlonger humilation bet ie the loser has to purchase, watch a complete season of the gilmore girls and write a “book report” style review on the boards.
Does anybody play anything but hold’em in Vegas. I love playing stud @ the mirage with the geriatric crew. I saw today that the TI has 3-6 badugi and 4-8 crazy pineapple. I’d love to get in some of those games.
May 14th, 2007 at 9:24 pm
My nominee for Miss TAI is the lovely Gigi Andrews. Gigi’s credits include:
Reigning Miss Nude Iowa
2005 S.P.E.W. Oil Wrestling World Champion
2004 Miss Nude Galaxy Finalist
2004 Kid Rock stage dancer
2004 MTV music video girl
I’m not sure that we can find a more perfect fit.
I think you all should have to work to find the really good (wink, wink, nod, nod) links on google.
But you can get a pretty good idea on her myspace page: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=41656193
Not only is she the complete package - I would think she might fit into Brian and Tommy’s budget.
May 14th, 2007 at 9:25 pm
fobes,
on second thought your right but not by much.
best shows 2000-2007
1. Curb Your Enthusiasm
2. Gilmore Girls

My nominee for Miss TAI is the lovely Gigi Andrews. Gigi’s credits include:
Reigning Miss Nude Iowa
2005 S.P.E.W. Oil Wrestling World Champion
2004 Miss Nude Galaxy Finalist
2004 Kid Rock stage dancer
2004 MTV music video girl
And as far as I can tell, she’s a Des Moines, Iowa Whore.
I’m not sure that we can find a more perfect fit.
I think you all should have to work to find the really good (wink, wink, nod, nod) links on google. The second result - the one after her myspace page is the real winner - just don’t have your six year old hanging around when you do the search
Not only is she the complete package - I would think she might fit into Brian and Tommy’s budget.
May 14th, 2007 at 11:10 pm
Reigning Miss Nude Iowa, SPEW Oil champion, Kid Rock Dancer and a bi-sexual…. sounds like the perfect mix of sluttlyness and lack of talent….
I’ll be at WSOP for #12 & #15…………..
May 14th, 2007 at 11:13 pm
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’d much rather nail Alyssa Milano, but who are we kidding here………
May 14th, 2007 at 11:52 pm
Took a peak at Gigi…I like the concept and the theory, but I gotta be honest…she’s a little rough above the shoulders. That face ain’t too easy on the eyes.
I remember hearing a comedian (bmo may remember the bit and the author) doing a bit about how hot Milano is/was on “who’s the boss”. I don’t remeber the set-up, but the punchline was something like, “hey Sam your old man’s downstairs vacuuming why don’t we go UPSTAIRS and BONE.”
That’s solid gold.
May 14th, 2007 at 11:59 pm
Ok I have two picks for Miss This Ain’t Iowa. First up we have the lovely Jennifer Hawkins, who looks highly intelligent on the surface, but one word geebanger.
And if we are going to talk child stars that turned hotties it has the be Miss Charles In Charge and the most underrated Baywatch baby of the all Nicole Eggert.
May 15th, 2007 at 12:01 am
I did some google research on Gigi as suggested by T.F. One of her co-workers named Jasmine also has some accolades that I found hilarious. Actual reprint from website:
2005 Miss Nude Hot Buns (Best Ass)
Oh she took down “best ass” in the Hot Buns competition, this is bullshit, I thought she was the “subtlest dimples” title holder.
May 15th, 2007 at 12:03 am
DUDE>>>>Tony pulls out a Charles in Charge Honey. That is SO STRONG.
May 15th, 2007 at 12:17 am
Play for Monday: Phoenix +3.5 over San Antonio
Just looking to rebound after a bad weekend. The Suns are in a must win, and besides, they’re 8-3 in their last 11 Monday night games. Who can argue with empirical evidence like that?
Record:59-40-7
Playoffs:10-7-3
May 15th, 2007 at 12:31 am
I’m going to throw Sabyl Cohen into the ring for the spokesmodel. She was the highest woman finisher in the 2006 WSOP Main Event and arguably the biggest woman in poker.

May 15th, 2007 at 2:15 am
Charles in Charge is VERY Stong - But I’m going to try and make my case for Gigi -
We’ve both seen Brian and Tommy. Let’s not outkick our coverage on this one -
First - Gigi is Miss nude IOWA
Second - She was KID ROCK DANCER
Third - She’s a Whore!
Fourth - In case you missed this page - Reasonable Prices!!
The whole Miss S.P.E.W. Oil Wrestling Champion - and the referee outfit are simply gravey at this point. I mean think about this: with a small collection we could no doubt get this woman to show up at a TAI event in Vegas.
I’m going to see if I can get her to call into the show.
I’m not gonna let this go over some airbrushed Maxim model. This woman should have “One of Billy’s Babes” tatooed on her ass

Just as Rory (Alexis Bledel) lands her dream job as a political reporter, Luke(Scott Patterson) enlists the help of everyone in Stars Hollow to throw her a graduation party. Emily (Kelly Bishop) and Richard (Edward Herrmann) attend the huge party, where Rory makes a speech thanking Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and the whole town for giving her such a great start in life.

Paigow,
Thanks for the great teaser. Only 23 hours til it starts
May 15th, 2007 at 2:46 am
Paigow - I think we just have to chalk Tommy’s sudden drop of testosterone up to watching National League baseball.
May 15th, 2007 at 2:49 am
i second the Nicole Eggert nomination. good night!
also a nomination for Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham.
May 15th, 2007 at 3:05 am
I think TD has an ulterior motive with the Nicole Eggert seconding nomination - according to her bio on IMDB.com she appeared in TWO EPISODES OF THE GILMORE GIRLS!!!!!!!
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001176/
May 15th, 2007 at 3:49 am
Gentleman,gentleman….
Nominations for TAI spokesbitch….I nominate 2 of the hottest women Iowa has ever had…we’re talking old school here,and I mean OLD school.It just dawned on me that no hot chicks come from Iowa(’cept Miss Nude Ia.),but then this podcast ain’t exactly anything to take home to yer ma,either,so I think both of these bitches are perfect fits,and they’re both from Iowa…
1.Abigail Van Buren…aka “Dear Abbey”
2.Donna Reed from the Donna Reed show…Brian,help me out here
will ya? Remember her?
OK,I’ll go back to the cold Red Stripe now…you guys rule,I drool.
May 15th, 2007 at 4:19 am
Thanks for the meet up in Vegas guys. Always great to meet up with Brian/Shaun again and a pleasure to meet w/ Mofobes, TD, & Yzerman for the first time.
The casino comp segment will be coming this Friday. I didn’t have the time to record one for last Friday due to my Tues-Sun trip.
Also, if I were a betting man I’d put a $100 bill on the Rio as #1. I’d probably also follow that up with a $20 on the Palms as #1.
May 15th, 2007 at 9:07 am
Hey guys I was going to throw Alexis Bledel into tthe mix but Tommy got there first. But I don’t know whether he could hold it together around her. How about insteda we have all the Girls from Old Town in Sin City. The more the merrier I say. Billy’s got the right idea!!
For dipper he wouldn’t mind Jennifer Tilly
May 15th, 2007 at 10:26 am
Bad gambling karma continues for me and fobes, this time at Ceasars. Anyway, I’m betting on beer league softball today.
Felix Hernandez is a stud and when he’s on I’ll watch the A.L. any time. The prob with Felix is that everyone in Vegas is on to him and he is actually overvalued now. Especially today, he’s fresh off the D.L. and is on a pitch count of 70. Even if he’s brilliant he’ll only throw about five. This leaves us up against Seattle’s wounded bullpen. I like my chances with Escobar on the hill. He’s been throwing great and believe it or not I’m taking + money here. It’s similar to situations where I often take the RL, but I figure the better value is straight up here.
I got the Angels +107 @ Coast Season Total: All Square
May 15th, 2007 at 1:32 pm
Just busting nuts on the retarded comment.
Nicole Eggert wins due her overlooked cinematic feat. She bagged both coreys in Blown Away. She’s got to be a serious degenerate if she’ll do both of those clowns on film.

May 15th, 2007 at 3:43 pm
Hate to be obvious, but the show is “this A’INT iowa”. I’d say non-Iowa chix should be the front runners for spokesmodel. Also, we need to add some flavor, way too many white chix so far. I have a serious thang for the Asian Ladies. My new suggestion is poker pro…liz lieu. Check out the pix on: http://www.lizlieu.net
May 15th, 2007 at 4:47 pm
after a great start in the satellites at Mirage, i got brutalized in the actual tourneys. in the limit tourney, i had 5, 3-outers hit against me in an hour. that pretty much KO’d me. then in the NL tourney i couldn’t get away from an over pair (QQ) vs. J9 on a JJ4 flop. i had to lead out and then was pot committed. i used my final tourney chip to play in a $540 satellite yesterday. i finished 2nd, but it was winner take all and the other guy had me out chipped 4 to 1, so i couldn’t even make a good deal to get some money out of it.
May 15th, 2007 at 4:56 pm
i’m all for hot chicks… but sometimes it’s all relative.
i mean, compared to her co-workers, ms.spew oil is a “10″.

May 15th, 2007 at 5:12 pm
TD, you need to HTFU with this Gilmore Girls crap. That one girl who plays the younger sister might be the worst actress on TV.
My vote fot the TAI spokeswomen is Katie Rees as CB noted. She’s hot, she strips for free in bars, and she’s probably dating George Maloof.
May 15th, 2007 at 6:03 pm
Rosario Dawson is my nomination of the day.
Brad, there are no sisters, just one daughter. If your commenting on Alexis Bledel we got issues. I’d put her in the top 5 actresses under 30. Dawson, Natalie Portman ummm that’s all I can think of off the top of my head.
We have our work cut out picking a final four:
at this point my vote would be
Milano
Rees
Eggert
Gigi
keep em coming
May 15th, 2007 at 6:38 pm
Wow, all due respect TF, but Vegas is the home of ATTRACTIVE whores. That chick puts the BUT in butterface. As far as getting a chick who isn’t a 10 based on Tommy and I and our physical shortcomings, I get rejected by 4’s so we might as well shoot for the stars. I’m gonna have to pass.
May 15th, 2007 at 6:49 pm
nomination: local radio talk show host, actress and daughter of Kasey Kasem. check out kerrikasem.com
May 15th, 2007 at 6:56 pm
I’m also certainly nominating Rosario Dawson.
Brad if your talking about Alexis Bledel she’s one of the best actresses under 30. GG is a tough show for actors because of the quick dialouge and challanging vocab but she does it very well.
as of now my final 4 vote would be:
Milano
Rees
Eggert
Gigi
keep em coming
May 15th, 2007 at 7:06 pm
Has Tommy Dutch ever walked into a hardcore biker-bar and yelled out “Hey! Is there any Barbara Streisand on the jukebox?”
…’cause that’s kinda what the Gilmore Girls conversation reminded me of…I could just hear the crickets chirping.
May 15th, 2007 at 7:31 pm
Tommy Dutch is the bravest man in America today.
May 15th, 2007 at 7:41 pm
Hey Tommy good call for Kerri Kasem. What about Eva Mendes or Jessica Biel (she started on your other favourite show)??
And a wishful praying nomination - Jessica Alba

May 16th, 2007 at 12:11 am
Play for Tuesday: Detroit -7.5 over Chicago
Ok, I’m back in the win column after yesterday, and I’m taking another crack at the Pistons. They won the first 2 games at home by 21 and 26 points. With a chance to close out the series at home, I’m looking for another blowout.
Record:60-40-7
Playoffs:11-7-3
May 16th, 2007 at 12:16 am
Steve,
Curious as to what kind of action you’re playing to receive such great comps. Listening to Monday’s show it sounds like you have full RFB and even airfare.
I have a friend of mine who plays at the Mandalay Bay. He will play through around $500,000 a trip (averages about $200 a hand playing blackjack and plays $1 and $5 video poker). He gets some pretty good comps but still not RFB.
I am a $10 to $25 blackjack player, 25 cent video poker, and $100 sports bettor. I don’t even bother using my players cards anymore, as even the lower end strip properties won’t even rate that kind of action. Am I doing something wrong?
Casting my TAI spokesmodel vote for Drea De Matteo. As Adriana on “The Sopranos,” a sexy, street smart, heroin addict, what more could one ask for?
May 16th, 2007 at 12:57 am
here is an article i found interesting in today’s RJ about all the large building advert murals:
http://www.lvrj.com/living/7509632.html
i can just hear the calls into the Flamingo now, “Yes, I’d like to reserve a room in Tony Braxton’s vagina, thank you.”
i wonder how much extra they get for those rooms.
May 16th, 2007 at 1:02 am
oh yeah, when i played in the $540 satellite yesterday, i was sitting next to jerry buss, owner of the lakers. i knew i was bit out of my league when he was telling a story about busting out of a tourney and then going over to MGM to blow off steam and proceeding to win a cool $mil at black jack. then he was talking about playing roulette with johnny chan and hitting back to back numbers to be up $75K in two spins.
that’s the life!
May 16th, 2007 at 1:55 am
Winning a mil is a sweet way to blow off some steam…beats my method of burning down a $6 cigar.
May 16th, 2007 at 2:52 am
Can you buy pictures of the hotels with the murals on them? It would be fun to send a postcard to a friend with “I’m in here” and a strategically placed arrow.
May 16th, 2007 at 2:55 am
Oh, and please let the Western be the #1 hotel. No one would see it coming. They couldn’t because they would have been knifed to death by a transient in the parking lot.
May 16th, 2007 at 4:03 am
I literally watched about 45 seconds of the Gilmore Girls tonight and it felt like I chugged 2 full bottles of Ipecac.
IRONY. Tommy has brilliantly handicapped the M’s game so far. Just pulled Felix up 9-3 in the 4th.
May 16th, 2007 at 4:30 am
yeah I was on to King Felix, but I didn’t quite see that 10 spot coming.
May 16th, 2007 at 4:56 am
What’s up guys? I’ve listened to all of your shows and really enjoy them. Like most of the people on here, I am addicted to Vegas. I currently have 3 trips booked (May, July & December). I just thought I’d check in and let you guys know you have another fan. Keep up the good work.
And seriously Tommy, Gilmore Girls sucks.
May 16th, 2007 at 11:05 am
Mofobes: Good story on the murals do you mind if I post it at http://taifriends.ning.com ? Better yet, you should get signed up over there and post it yourself.
I’m coming into Vegas on Sunday - and staying at Caesars - so if you going to be around - let’s find a time to toss back a few
May 16th, 2007 at 1:49 pm
Scott J thanks for the interest in the casino comps. First off I’ll start by saying an upcoming segment will reveal your answer but I’ll tell you here too.
In short, unless you’re requesting your own private blackjack table with a dealer in your own private room you’ll receive barely any comps at all. Same goes for poker. To earn comps you pretty much have to play either slots or video poker.
I guarantee if your friend stops playing $200/hand blackjack and instead puts all of his money into $25/hand video poker ($5 per credit) he’ll quickly rack up the comps. If he’s not against this, have him try it out for one or two trips in a row. If he can play about 1000 hands in an evening per trip he’ll receive some much better comps. 1000 hands seems like a lot but at ~10 hands/min you could get that done in 1-2 hours.
As for yourself, your play at the Blackjack table and sport betting wouldn’t get you much if anything at all. However your play at the $1.25/hand video poker will get you comps if you’re playing enough. I can go into more detail if you post your typical bankroll per casino trip and how many times you go a year on average.
May 16th, 2007 at 3:02 pm
Where the hell is Shana Hiatt on this list??? How many of you would like to Pokeher After Dark?
May 16th, 2007 at 3:41 pm
Brian,
Pistons let you AND me AND I am sure Max down in a big way last night. WTF?
May 16th, 2007 at 3:51 pm
I know SOF, it was a dark day for TAI betting. It’s not often that TD and I are both on the wrong end of the biggest blowouts of the night. It’s almost like Detroit has 2 different teams. How can you throw out 3 blowouts, then get completely blown out in back to back games?
May 16th, 2007 at 5:24 pm
Steve, you’re right on about the VP. Just like Scott J, I mostly play BJ ($10-15) and nobody will even track it. My brother plays nothing but VP ($1.25-$5) and gets free rooms at most MGM properties. I play longer and for more money than him, but get nothing.
A question for you: Do you ever find any 9/6 VP, or do you settle for 8/5? I like to drink like a degenerate when I’m in Vegas, so I will even sit down at a 7/5 VP at a bar where I can get served more drinks per hour because I feel that’s a better deal, especially if I play $1.25 and slow down my play significantly. Any thoughts?
May 16th, 2007 at 6:03 pm
Steve - with VP comps is this due to the fact they are gauranteed the % on them??
Tommy - now I know why you shave your head.
BMo - I’ll post here but did vote there. I think TGYH is very hit and miss and more miss.
May 16th, 2007 at 6:12 pm
Detroit sports teams were very good to the books last night. The road dog dominated in all three games. Thank God, check that I’m converting to Raëlism….Thankfully I bet sporadically and don’t worry too much about days like this.
BMo, it’s pretty simple really; we’re being out-coached. Skiles’ staff had their team better prepared for the last three games, Detroit only won game three because they made better adjustments in the second half. I fully expect the Pistons to close out the series tomorrow. This Piston team has quite an ego, and will bring their A game right at Chicago.
May 16th, 2007 at 7:33 pm
I’m on Bronson Arroyo in S. California for the second time this week. I don’t think San Diego will score more than 3 runs in this game. At -140 there is value on Cincy RL. If the bats are silenced the way they were in L.A., I’m in trouble. I’ll take my chances they can plate 2.
The total on this game is 6.5, the lowest of the season.
My play is Cincy +1.5……-140 @ Stations
Season Total: -100
May 16th, 2007 at 7:49 pm
Hawkeye Brad I won’t play any VP machines that offer less than 99% payback. Which means I’m typically playing 9/6 JoB, 8/5 BP, 9/7 DB, etc. If there’s no machines that are 99% or higher I’ll play slots.
Also your idea to sit down at a bar is something I was going to also cover in a future segment so looks like we have a fairly savvy crowd here! Indeed you can typically get quicker drinks if you play at a bar but BEFORE you cash in to play, order a drink, tip well, then casually ask the bartender which (if any) drinks are comped if you play. Waitresses cannot serve you if you’re at the bar so the bartender is the one in charge there. If you tip well (not $1 a drink) most of the times they won’t care what you’re cashed in for and how often you “play” and you can get the usual drinks.
YoTime Joe, I believe the reason why they comp video poker/slots players more is due to two things. (Both just my personal opinion). Firstly it’s 100% trackable how much you’ve played on a machine. No “fuzzy math” by the pit boss. Secondly, the rate of ruin on machines are insanely high if you’re playing with a low bankroll. Since you’re losing more money the casino can afford to comp you better so that you’ll come back and continue losing.
May 17th, 2007 at 12:18 am
New segment was sent over to the crew just now, should be included in this Friday’s show.
May 17th, 2007 at 12:32 am
I think the Imperial Palace is going to be the number #1 on the casino list.
Here are the reasons why……
#3. It’s not like it’s busy.
#2. There is a pit boss there named “Hot Carl”.
#1. They have a $5.25 prime rib sandwich.
Need I say more.
I had my first official summer blow out the other day when I Punted a Grumpy the size of Bmo’s head. OUCH!
Anyway I think there will be some Vintage Volkswagen’s at the California hotel this Friday night. I don’t know if it is a show or not, but if not and your around there just walk the parking lot and check them out. My brother-in-law is driving his 67 split windshield bus with a bunch of other classics from Yipsilanti MI to Ventura CA. So get your aquairium watching way on, and get over there. Hoot Hoot is the sound the white owl makes.

Tommy:
Is watching Gilmore Girls kind of like riding a moped, or doing a fat chick?
…it’s fun, until one of your friends sees you doing it.

Johnny Tulip in legendary form!
It must be Tulip Time in Ho-town.

Steve,
You watch that moped smack or I’ll start in on the broads I kept seeing up near the public beach on Singer Island the last time we visited your fair city.
JT,
I wonder if the first decent car I ever owned, my old 1992 VW Fox with dented rear 1/4 panel will be out in Ventura this weekend. I hope your brother in law has Gary from Gary’s Automotive in Holland on his cell phone. Gary is an absolute genius and the only guy who gets to touch our cars. The ‘06 Passat is awesome machinery.
TD,
There is even a beer tent at TT now…but I don’t get the day off anymore for the parades. When we first moved to CRCland, they gave us both afternoons off of school.

Just for the record, I did not bring up the subject of “hot carls”.

Play for Thursday: Detroit +2 over Chicago
I have a 3 strikes you’re out policy with the teams I bet on, and right now the Pistons are on their last leg. They’re getting points for the 1st time this series (deservedly so) and there is no way they want to go to a game 7 situation. Detroit closes it out tonight.
Record:60-41-7
Playoffs:11-8-3

Miss TAI will need a bodyguard. I nominate this dude: http://entertainment.msn.com/music/acma2007/photos/undressed?GT1=9987&photoidx=3
No way I would follow this guy around late at night in a convenience store.

Padres 3-2 over the Reds, Tommy not only picking a winner, but calling the score!
Nomination for TAI spokesmodel, Sarah Silverman.

Before we put this message board in the can - a few favorite - probably all time classic - quotes from this show (which may - with the exception of the College Hoops breakdown - have been TD’s finest to date) :
“I too got fucked by Barry Zito this week” - TD
“A long losing streak is a killer for a professional gambler” -TD
“I’m in the back of a pick up truck in Taiwan” TD’s Mom

Was TD’s Mom in a cage in the back of a pick-up truck in Taiwan? Perhaps it was her bachelorette party…

At least the Pistons finally took care of business.
Did I miss something? Did Hasek get suspended too and the Wings had to put a cardboard cutout in goal last night. I don’t know. I can’t get that stupid bull riding channel these games are on! Thank you Mr. Bettman. The best I can do is get yahoo update every 30 seconds.

Fennville you can listen to the games live and free of charge on the NHL Radio at nhl.com

Steve - Thanks for the info. I don’t think I gamble enough or big enough on VP to worry about it. Also coming from Oz I don’t get enough time there either.
I have booked all flights now and will be in Vegas Nov 19th - 27th staying at the Luxor for anyone keen for a get tobether.

BMo- The Pistons were getting 2.5 points in game three.
SOF- I can’t blame Dom for the loss last night. Not his best game, but he played well for the most part. The rest of the team played uninspired hockey, and our blue line let the Ducks get way too many quality chances. For a veteran team, the Wings looked kinda lost last night and let Anaheim dictate the pace of the game which led to too many mistakes on Detroit’s end.
