QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Feb 23, 2015 -> 03:37 PM) Didn't watch the PPV yet, but from the sound of it, it was a good match. I'm a bit surprised he still got so much heat from it. Some people just want to watch the world burn.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Feb 23, 2015 -> 09:31 AM) Did DJ Williams kick your dog or something? Lol Hey! I've been right about two guys! Let me bast in my short lived brilliance!

Sabathia weighing in at 305 lbs. Holy cow. He and Panda on same diet?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 23, 2015 -> 07:43 AM) Nice to see Travolta topped his embarrassing misspeak from last year with an even more awkward moment with Menzel, lol That guy is uber creepy. He practically raped Scarlett on the red carpet.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 23, 2015 -> 06:13 AM) Also, just finished watching CITIZENFOUR. Have the same reaction as the Oscars audience....not sure whether to praise him as a hero or vilify him as a villain. Would tend to side with the "heroic" take, but of course he broke the law (even though he was fighting against what he believed to be an unconstitutional overreaching of the Patriot Act). Very complicated situation. It's not unlike that doc you referenced early (and which I thought was even better), The Internet's Own Boy. Loved Internet's Own Boy. DVRing CitizenFour tonight. Excited about it. My buddy really hyped it up for me so hope my expectations aren't too high.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Feb 22, 2015 -> 10:41 PM) Great match. Excited to see what 2 big athletic freaks can do at mania...gonna be a good old fashioned slobbernocker. I'm hoping for an All Japan/NJPW type stiff match with Brock retaining after re-signing and holding the title for another year. I'm not down on the match as much as others are but you can't have Roman win. I'd even go for Brock win, Seth tries to cash in, Brock wins.

New nickname will be "Wedgie"?

DJ Williams in the big city title game! 4 pts. Simeon gets upset.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 22, 2015 -> 08:48 PM) Get what? MSU plays a horrific style of basketball. They also only have one player that's any good. How does Izzo manage to win so much with that horrific style?!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 23, 2015 -> 01:52 AM) I think history will show that Birdman was the better pick over Boyhood. Unfortunate for Keaton not to get the best actor, but they picked up pretty much everything else. I enjoyed Whiplash the most out of all them and think it was the Shawshank of this Oscars. Meaning in time, it will be the most rewatchable out of this years nominees and most quotable. Also think Simmons performance was the best of the year in any category. Leading or Supporting. Can't argue with Birdman. It really was an accomplishment all the way around.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 22, 2015 -> 08:24 PM) Tom Izzo has become a worse culprit than Bo Ryan at attempting to absolutely ruin the sport of college basketball. I don't get it

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Feb 22, 2015 -> 02:43 PM) Well not just another top state recruit, but top PG from Illinois. Honestly, the only reason Lovett should want to go to SJU over Illinois is because of academic eligibility, dude would be surrounded by talent and would be given the keys as a sophomore (would just have to share with Tate), that has to be a big selling part to any PG. That said, this staff has missed time after time for a top flight pg, even though the offense should be centered around it. It honestly baffles me that we can't convince a top kid to see the amount of playing time/opportunity that they could have here, it could be the downfall of the current staff if they don't get one in 2016. The top PG from Illinois is going to Villanova but I get what you're saying.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Feb 22, 2015 -> 02:00 PM) True. It doesn't sound too good on that front though. Losing another top state recruit, this time toe St Johns, could send some Illini fans over the ledge.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 22, 2015 -> 12:26 PM) Theory of Everything, oh my god this movie so f***ing terrible. Well acted, I guess, but that's about it. Why do I give a s*** about Stephen Hawking's personal life again? I thought it would be about his work but that's pretty much only worth a vague few lines apparently for one of the most brilliant people to ever live. It's the one nominated movie I just haven't been able to force myself to pay $8 to see. Maybe Redbox.

I would pray for Lovett and it than it won't matter.

Glad I'm at work and won't have to see the inevitable 2nd half Michigan collapse.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 22, 2015 -> 11:28 AM) But Sting! He's up for best supporting actor?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 22, 2015 -> 12:53 PM) Good. They have a Hinrich now. Yes. What a relief.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 22, 2015 -> 12:40 PM) He should be a monster of a defender at the college level. He'll be fine. Never heard him described as a top notch defender, nor have seen it, but hope so for your sake.

I get excited for Oscars night. Don't judge. I know it's meaningless water cooler stuff but whatever. I enjoy the Spirit Awards show actually more.

DJ Williams now the 4th best player on Simeon. Has been all year. Illinois fans better control their expectations of him. And Stevenson sucks.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Feb 21, 2015 -> 03:53 PM) I think Row wasn't wanting to have to click links as he is likely hungover I'm sober and agree with Row.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Feb 20, 2015 -> 05:21 PM) A convincing win and resting their starters for tomorrow would be nice. Let's hope they don't play down to their competition. So far, not good

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 20, 2015 -> 07:49 AM) there is so much funny "OMG that is old stuff!" sentiment in here. And I get it, i felt that way about stuff from the 70s and 60s I feel sorry for folks with this mindset. Don't watch Jaws! Or The Graduate! They look dated!!!!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 10:28 PM) They didnt need it at that time. It was selfish to me. I think his teammates agreed I agree. As he was bringing it up, I knew he was chucking a 3.
