Cy Young’s 749 complete games. 749! Last year’s MLB leader had 3. If that player replicates that feat they will break the record in about 250 years. In comparison to acknowledge the absurdity of that record, last year’s MLB wins leader would break Cy Young’s win record in about 25 years....

Some get large tax refunds because they are required to pay quarterly estimated taxes based on the previous year’s tax liability. For those over $150,000 in income, you need to withhold 110% of the previous tax bill. For some retirees, a large part of their income is based on investments, specific...

I believe it’s 110% of last year’s tax liability if your adjusted gross income is projected to be $150,000 or more. I think you are required to pay 25% of that number quarterly. There may be special rules for those on commissions or incentive plans, but I’m not sure. Contact a CPA to be safe and ...

Conduct a bit of research to see if you live in one of the most litigious states in the country. Spoiler alert-Louisiana is second to Florida. You can always drive on the Interstate and evaluate the volume of personal injury attorney billboards. The answer may be more obvious than you realize....
An underrated moment is the Marcus Spears pick six in the 2003 national championship. It was the most important play in the most important game in more than 40 years. Certainly not as dramatic as the Morris walk off but a tremendous moment for those of us that believed we would never see another f...
