Jon Wilner: [quote]This deep into the season, [b]I’m reluctant to slot one team over another if there is a two-loss difference in record (5-2 over 7-0, for instance)[/b].

I looked into it after seeing your post. Seems like it might be good in certain limited situations but I wouldn't do a variable rate with a large sum of money. Also, can only be used with private loans which would exclude a large number of folks (myself included). ...

I recently searched for a resort in the Caribbean and used Hotwire. They were the lowest price by far, but it only works if you do flight and hotel. If you just do hotel, Hotwire won't let you see the name of the hotel you are booking (I think priceline is also like this). I doubt Hotwire is the...

re: Shreveport Hornets Fans?

Posted by Port City on 10/10/11 at 10:47 pm
We do exist but there aren't that many that are huge fans (ie. watch as many games as possible). I would say that's mainly because it's pretty difficult to watch a game up here since the NBA gives us so few national games and DirecTV doesn't carry CST....

Thanks for the responses. Basically I know I am in the right, but I don't want to end up hurting my credit in the long run over a $75 charge that doesn't really mean much....
Long story short, a company has charged me a relatively small amount [$75] that I feel is in error. Basically I think the the company is trying to take advantage of me and is over-charging me despite a very clear agreement on what the charge was meant to be [we were so clear in fact that I believe ...

$42 million on 6 players [assuming we get Belinelli] We have starting 1 [and backup], start/backup 2, starting 3 [and backup], no 4, and starting 5. Most teams spent around $65 million last year, so assuming things stay the same [which they won't], we have $20-25 million to spend on a backup 2...
