WannaBe: In case I forgot, congrats to them Lady Bruins. =)) U. Mich (69-63) won, but the last spread I saw was -6.5, so if you took UConn w/ spread, you got very lucky, if you bet on them U. Mich, I feel bad; the O/U was 148.5

WannaBe: <FSR> March 11 is his birthday, and usually PoD is chosen from the birth date of the player. So unless CG.com decides to change the algorithm on how PoD is decided. We will randomly get "undesired" player(s).

  WannaBe: So "Weird" looking at the NHL East standings, teams like BOS, DET, and PHI are fighting for the last spot.

While teams FLA and TB have clinched. They play hockey in Florida??

  WannaBe: Looks like Yahoo have ditched local news under their "News" site. This comes after Yahoo/M. Mayer decided to axe the yahoo comic section a few month ago.

Way to go.

I'm following that game over any other retirement/record breakin' game anytime!!

Apr-14-16  Jim Bartle: I'll have to start listening to the Stanley Cup games on radio. Hockey announcers are just amazing, able to describe really fast action coherently. There's a guy named Doc something who is just unbelievable.

  WannaBe: ♔ ATTENTION EVERYONE, ALL MEMBERS ♔

Because of the frequent changes that <Zanzibar> did with his avatar last week, I now realize there's "42" avatar.

I am going to put this to a vote, of ChessGames.com members:

<Should I change my avatar to Ucla Bruin, Brooklyn Dodgers Jackie Robinson "42">??

You can vote

Yes - Change
No - Keep Bugs

Voting will end at 11:59PM April 22nd, 2016 server time (Eastern Time Zone) One vote per member, and I will (not) change my avatar, depending on which one have more votes.

In case of a tie, defending champ (Bugs) will keep the crown. You are not allowed to change your vote, once it's recorded.

(After that little delete option goes away on the web page.)

  OhioChessFan: No. Twould be a tragedy to give up Bugs.
Apr-16-16  technical draw: Yes, change it so I could win best avatar. No, really don't change it. It's a CG Icon. Imagine some rouge newcomer takes bugs and slanders everybody. Some users will think it's you and there goes your legacy.
