Now I'm hooked. Between free wireless service terminals and DIRECTV on flights, Jet Blue could be one of the most important inventions of the past 25 years, right up there with TiVO, Baked Lays, DVD's, iPods and Mel Kiper Jr. It's almost too good to be true. I keep waiting to ...
SG:Frank the Tank is like Hank Aaron -- it's his consistency over the years that makes him so special. Frank, I liked your choices and would add these three: (1) Al Pacino dressed as Tony Montana, coming up from a gigantic pile of coke on his desk and screaming about DirecTV's m...
