Monday, April 13th, 2009

Monday, April 6th, 2009

- It’s Michigan State at home versus UNC tonight. My money’s on the Tarheels. You?

- Saw Spitzer on a plane to Utah recently and he DID seem pained by the hurt he caused his family. Of course he was sitting in coach, so we were all a little pained
