European Football is so addictive to watch. It is my dream to attend a game in England sometime!Still haven't really settled on who to root for though!

I have loved watching for years and as a kid was a default Man U fan since they were the only team that ever seemed to be on. I decided a couple years ago to pick a team and stick with them like I do in other sports. I looked into rivalries and kits and players and settled on the Hotspurs. I want to go over and attend a game some time as well.

damn, what an idiot. Most products made by Apple are super-traceable.

Sounds like he's broke/in debt.

I think the more disturbing thing is that Apple has a self checkout when they're selling thousands of dollars in items.

Mug shots, as a rule, tend to always be unflattering. But jesus christ....post basketball years have not been kind to Rex. The arresting officers probably got a good laugh out of the middle aged slob they'd arrested having the same name as former Suns legend Rex Chapman...until the finger print results during booking confirmed it was the same Rex Chapman.

Appears he's blown through his $20+ million of career earnings. Stealing from the Apple store is pretty amateurish though. At least we can take pride in Charlotte's other pro-basketball alumni committing respectable white collar crimes befitting of former millionaires; like ex-Hornet Rumeal Robinson doing time for wire fraud or UNC Charlotte standout Rodney White ostensibly operating a dirt bike track for kids that was actually an ingenious front for an intricate underground weed growing bunker beneath said track.

So sorry about Rex. I liked him so much when he played for the Hornets and he was one of my favorite players. I hope he'll "repair himself" and will get the minimal punishment.

Not trying to pile on Rex, but Jesus, those eyes man. He's emitting a very hollow rapey vibe.

It's not a victimless crime either, because the store employees are going to get blamed when that much inventory goes missing.

I heard Rex interviewed on the radio when the Hornets brought him to town for that game appearance, and he sounded like a dude who had himself together. I guess not!

caught up with a TV series long after it's over, like I usually do. binge watched True Detective and absolutely loved it. It might have moved in my top3 of best TV shows ever.

now started to watch Fargo, the TV series, yet I'm not sure whether I'll continue to do so. I acknowledge its quality, yet it's a bit too wacky for my taste. Will give it a couple of more shots (currently have watched three episodes) though.

took week 2 off after a disappointing week 1 to see if I could at least pick the right teams without actually betting any money. the late Ravens comeback (thank god that he hates Cleveland, two missed FGs in the fourth quarter, what the hell, haha) made it a success for me as far as the evening games are concerned. overall it was a very entertaining three hours on Redzone before I switched to the Browns-Ravens game for the fourth quarter.

Same for me, but with The League. Heard mentions of it before but never really cared to watch it. Gave it a shot last weekend and now I've been binging it since
