Is this holiday cd an instant buy?

Is Terminator 2 one of the few sequels better than the original?

I'm pretty sure that it is not.

If that was the one where Ahnold was the good guy, maybe. But I'm partial to the first. Getting chased by a broken, crawling robot is pretty awesome.

Yeah he is a good guy in it. Protects John Connor from the liquid Terminator guy.

I think I found the worst holiday cd to hit shelves this year. What distribution exec could possibly think this is a good idea?

A guy grasping at straws to keep his job. The Pet Rock was once a big seller.

Redskins VP stepped down...isn't the real problem with the Redskins, and any other sports team for that matter, having an owner that is too involved with the sport-related operations?

(see Dan Snyder, Jerry Jones, Al Davis...)

Which version of Rocky was the best?

I don't know. The Yanks did pretty well with George being hands on. I think the trick is the owner needs to know what he doesn't know and listen to someone who does.

Rocky I and II were pretty solid. Everything after that was garbage.

I'm platooning one position for the 1st time in my HBD career - big mistake?

No, not at all. But you probably won't get the awesome results you expect.

did you not like Rocky IV?

Do you know of any other business in the world where the owner of it is supposed to be hands off?

I said everything after the 2nd one was crap. Four is after two.

You let the people you hire do their job.

Most businesses operate in a manner where the specialists do what they are supposed to do and the owner/managers/supervisors just oversee the operations to make sure things are headed in the right direction. To focus just on football though, the most successful teams in recent years have been teams with owners who hire "football guys" to make football decisions.

Mike, with 2009 almost at and end, who do you think are the most successful MLB, NFL, NHL and NBA franchises of the decade?

Yankees, Patriots, who knows, who cares.
