Gas-o-lean and 3-point lines

So, everyone's always bitching about gas these days, and i don't blame them...it's kind of a bitch to pay over $3 a gallon. Hell, I got mad when it went over $2.50. Anyway I saw this interesting article on Yahoo Finance. Even though I pretty much knew it already, I thought'd I share my findings with everyone else. So, although it sucks to pay, you might as well ball up and continue to get screwed by the man because gas isn't going to get any cheaper. And we are all to fuckin lazy to ride our bikes to work, I know I am. Well, considering I'm unemployed I guess I technically don't drive to work, so that helps the environment.

Oh yeah, I was meaning to mention something about the new NCAA's recommendation to move the 3 point line in men's hoops back 1 foot to 20 feet 9 inches. Check it out here. My thoughts? Who fucking cares? The only "good" thing is that the court will get spread out a little more. It will have absolutely no effect on scores, but I don't think that was the intention in the first place. If anything, it will just be another line on the already clusterfucked court since the women will still be using the 19'9" line. But no one actually watches women's basketball anyway. Peace.

Moving the three point line seems kind of pointless. Sounds like the NCAA has nothing better to do.

yeah, it sounded like they did it to spread the court out and in turn reduce the physical play. it will definately spread things out, but that's it. the ncaa should worry about other things...like steroids and paid players!!!

Do our other contributors even exist? I'm confused.
