The Critic

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 18, 2009 -> 10:53 AM) Post a link to your podcast group on the Soxtalk page so we can see it and tell you how bad it sucks! I've already got the link to the show page in my sig, and no one's left any emails or iTunes comments.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jan 17, 2009 -> 06:10 PM) Wouldn't that be entrapment? Either way, it's time and money and stress that I wouldn't want to spend on it. MUCH easier to make a phone call and get it out of my life.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 17, 2009 -> 11:39 AM) I don't know if he was a dick. Most interviews I have heard or read from younger guys say Holly just takes his job seriously and don't have a problem with him. That said, I hated Bob Holly. He was a bitter guy who thought he was owed a lot. One of the big time juicers as well. I never "respected" him for what he had done. He was given so many chances and dropped the ball. They gave him a run with Brock and he stunk it up. Nah, he was a dick who took advantage of kids who were in no position to stand up to him. The younger guys couldn't say anything publicly about him without repercussions.

I just joined Facebook to join my podcast's group so I figured, why not join the Soxtalk group too? So I'm in.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 17, 2009 -> 01:39 PM) i would be so paranoid after recieving a package like that "Did this get sent to me to see if I would sell it? Am I being set up by someone?" i would call the police immediately, based on paranoia alone Yep, me too. I don't need that kind of trouble in my life.

QUOTE (juddling @ Jan 17, 2009 -> 05:17 AM) Add one more to the list....... The WWE has officially announced the release of Bob Holly due to the same cost cutting measures we have seen them taking lately. Holly had been with the company since 1994, but had not been seen on television since losing the Tag Team Championships to Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes at June's "Night of Champions" pay per view when Rhodes (Holly's partner at the time) turned on him and sided with DiBiase. He was sent home after that due to some sort of personal issues and hasn't been seen on television since. Every kid in developmental just did a cartwheel. Holly is a dick.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 16, 2009 -> 10:47 AM) Circuit City had absolutely awful customer service. My mom had a direct phone number for one of the VP's because of how poorly some lower people treated her. I'm glad to see them gone. I agree with this. I only went to Circuit City twice because the store was laid out horribly and the staff treated me like I was bothering them if I had a question. I walked out both times without buying anything, and never went back again. I'm not a huge fan of Best Buy, but they're light years ahead of Circuit City. Good riddance, Circus s***ty.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 01:29 PM) Iam at the pinnacle of drunkness and know to stop when my left eye closes shut uncontrollably. Do you also pick up a pipe and a can of spinach? I don't know why a shut-down left eye made me think of Popeye immediately, but it did.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 04:29 PM) It's actually "smooth Corinthian leather". On another board I frequent the consensus was "rich Corinthian leather". I guess the Corinthian part brings people together, and the first adjective drives us apart. Corinthian being the second adjective......ah, f*** it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 07:11 PM) Interesting. Colon was #3 on my depth chart of Ex-Sox pitchers most likely to return, but it makes sense. He gets to come back to a place he had success, and he knows the organization. He gets a chance to prove he is still effective, while the Sox get to give him one year on the cheap and try to protect themselves against having too many question marks on the staff. I like it. Pretty much exactly what I was going to say. Worst case scenario, the Sox end up with kids at #4 and 5 anyway. Worth a shot. Plus, it gave everyone a chance to clear the fat jokes out of the comedy warehouse! Good times!

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 01:51 PM) The funniest poster award should just be called "The Critic" award. So technically it will be the second funniest poster,otherwise critic will win every year cause he is the man. In other news, shipps is a wonderful human being, a credit to his gender and is feared and respected by all who come in contact with him. .....psssst, shipps, here's that 20 I owe ya.....

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 11:58 AM) DAMN! Vinny ain't playing around when they said cuts would be made. This puts it close to 70 people so far.

Would.

Two veteran WWE names released today. One is Sgt. Slaughter. The other is Ron Simmons. ....I'll let someone else say it....

Oh, dear Lord. Jericho got "fired" again? How original and enthralling.....I can hardly wait to see what happens next....(yawwwwwwwwwwn)

If you can't remember what went on the night before, apologize to everyone - maybe even to people who weren't there. Also, two words you should NEVER say in a bar - "surprise me".

Howie Mandel hospitalized with an irregular heartbeat: http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=347447&GT1=28103 Wonder if any of the doctors had seen the commercials for the show, and when Howie was rolled in they thought "OHHHHH NO, I'm not falling for THAT!"

From the same website, the detailed reviews of the North/Jiggetts Amateur Show: http://score670.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=...=a&start=25 Holy crap, this might just be bad enough to record for leisurely viewing. My favorite line comes from Pappy's Crappy (AWESOME screen name!): (Quoting a post saying "Look at the bright side, most of the show will be commercial free") "Commercial-free, talent-free, content-free . . . Jesus Christ, how much more free can you be?!" Nicely done, Pappy's Crappy....nicely done!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 12, 2009 -> 01:30 PM) Did anyone watch the post game interview with Khabi? Man watching his eyes was something else. They were darting all over the place while he was talking. It was freaky to watch. Did he look like Denis Lemieux in Slap Shot?

Watch the demos swing once school lets out.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 12:54 PM) So no Christian in last weeks Smackdown? They just started the "hit and run" angle with Hardy and his fiancee, so that will play out over the next few weeks. Christian is slated at this point to be behind the hit and run.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 6, 2009 -> 10:57 AM) For the new comer hockey fan like myself, is there history there, I assume? Versteeg got in a last-second fight with one of the Coyotes last time and The Great Player, But Not Great Coach got sand in his crack about it.
