I doubt they bet that kind of money.

I can't imagine Reverberate won't be favored. His races are simply better than these.

Someone did last time or it was just absolutely terrible morning lines. He was higher than Organizer on the morning line and went off at like 1/6th of the odds in the end.

Too busy spending money on hookers and coke.
Friend worked on the set, said Gandolfini was basically comatose everyday from the night before. Generally high on something every day. Makes his performances look even better.

They seem like good guys. I sat by a lot of them at Belmont on a number of occasions and they were incredibly gracious and generous with their time. I have talked to Michael Imperioli quite a bit and he seems like a great guy. I also have a good friend who had a reasonable role last season and she loved working with them.

How great was Gandolfini in " Get Shorty "?

Lots of people who "party" are good guys. I have some friends who do that stuff and they have some serious jobs. Comes with the territory. I have never smoked a cigarette in my life. Gambling's my vice. And gin.

Really. I loved it. Not a great movie, per se, but I thought it was lots of fun.

Loved Get Shorty
The shylock wants to get into pictures. I LMAO on that movie.

On the other hand, they did a lame follow-up called Be Cool, one of the most hideous things ever put on film.

Good flick. Travolta was riding high after Pulp Fiction.

Momo's heart attack at his surprise party? Priceless

I saw Michael Imperioli on a YES Network interview show about a month ago. He is a very accomplished individual; he even founded a repertory company in Connecticut with the help of his wife. He is from Westchester County. and is about forty-years-old. He is a devoted Yankee fan; we have that in common. He talked about his father taking him to Mickey Mantle's retirement day. I enjoy The Sopranos and can identify with some of it, since I was born and raised in New Jersey, where I still live. My best friend growing up lived across the street from the restaurant seen on the show. It is all suburban Newark. I never miss the show and get a kick out of people who think New Jersey is just overrun with mob criminals. My husband who is Italian-American laughs at the stereotyping that some take away from the show. The actors are so far from what they play.

Anybody who likes movies, or independant movies, has been a fan of Michael Imperioli's since long before the Sopranos. He was great in " Sweet Nothings " and he's also very good in " Household Saints " which is a terrific movie. IMO he and Edie Falco are far and away the best actors on that show.

I loved the 1st and 2nd seasons on The Soprano's. Downhill ever since, and the season this year, I quit watching.

Why did you leave out Imperioli's role in "Goodfelllas" (Spyder).

Because EVERYONE knows him for that role....I was picking the esoteric ones.


Ya know......I'm an esoteric kinda guy.

[blackthroatedwind]

Dixie....you bet GB?

That's funny, as I made my first football bet in over a year....and it was on GB. A friend of mine told me to bet them.

I am still talking to him.......I'm loyal.

I don't root against, by the way, and you know I'm just having fun.

Imagine. If they just throw $10,000 a piece on the horse to win it is going to have a serious effect on the win pool.
