January 25th, 2008 saw the famed Monte Carlo Hotel in Las Vegas go up in flames. Not a whole lot of information has been released at this point but it appears that the top four or five floors of two of the wings and the roof was ablaze. There is some really neat raw video footage taken from a helicopter here. I’m guessing their were some upset gamblers who were in the middle of major runs and had to be evacuated. Don’t forget those chips people!
Dan Gable was another hot topic of the day. ESPN.com featured an article discussing sporting greats who came close to perfection but lost near the end of their runs. The New England Patriots are attempting to complete a perfect season in the Super Bowl next Sunday against the New York football Giants. Being a huge Packer fan, I really would like to boycott the Super Bowl altogether as I can’t root for the Giants but I also hate the Patriots. It looks like I will have to place a large bet in order to give a dang about the result.
Brody Jenner has a new girlfriend and it isn’t Lauren from MTV’s popular series The Hills. Her name, Cara Skinner, her job…being absolutely gorgeous. Jenner is a famous male model and the son of Olympic gold medal winning tri-athlete Bruce Jenner. Brody has made many appearances on The Hills and it appeared he was destined for the show’s star (Lauren). Looks like an upgrade to me!
See you tomorrow and Happy Friday to all!!!
