Ya, I'm pulling for the Eagles, even though I don't like TO. Corey Dillon's no saint either. Besides, the Patriots were over the top in how they deported themselves with the fans once they opened up a big lead on Sunday. It went way beyond celebrating & moved into more of an unprofessional 'in your face' attitude. RE: Blockbuster online - One thing a lot of folks don't factor into the cost of their rentals is the time spent in the store & the cost of gas for each rental. We tried to couple our trips to rent or return a DVD with other things. Still, we still frequently made one or more solo trips to or from the store per week (about 12 miles round trip). That can add $2+ to the rental, which for us, meant the cost for that rental was over $6. As much as we tried to keep that in mind, I bet we added close to a buck to each rental just in gas costs. That's close to what we now spend for each rental from Blockbuster online. And now I shop for my selections (from a vastly larger library) at my leisure online. So far, I'd say renting DVD's online is a no brainer.
