PTI says the woman who flipped off Noah is on her 4th husband. One of her previous husbands was found dead. Amazing how they find that out.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 8, 2013 -> 08:32 PM) Wow, just about the entire A's dugout stared at Angel Hernandez as he walked off the field. That was just awful. Do umps not get certain angles? Not that it should've mattered.

As ridiculous as the officiating seemed to be, hard for me to linger on it too much when you lose by 40. If the Bulls lost by like 5, then I wouldve been more frustrated by it.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 8, 2013 -> 11:13 PM) What the f***? When did She-mac sign with the Spurs? Like 2 days before the playoffs. I don't get how NBA teams can sign guys and have them play in the playoffs. Their shoudl be a cut off date.

As ridiculous of a POV of a true story it is, Pain and Gain was pretty entertaining. You just gotta take it for what it is.

Michigan at Duke is intriguing since both schools lost big players.

During Game 1, I was out of the house and they won. Tonight, I'm working until 10 and can't watch. If they win again, I won't be watching a single more minute of this series.

Technology catch-all thread
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 8, 2013 -> 02:48 PM) Well, 30 minutes on the phone with two AT&T support offices and they matched Comcast's price and saved me the installation fee/cost of a modem and router. The Service Rep was also kind enough to tell me to call back again in 6 months for another "modification" to my package. Score some points to AT&T's good service. I recently called to see if there was anything to adjust my bill lower and they gave me a 12 month deal, knocking my high speed from $44 a month to $14.99 a month to match an ad I got in the mail from Comcast. I've had nothing but good experiences with AT&T

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 7, 2013 -> 01:50 PM) I am driving to Iowa for a job interview on Wednesday night, any one know where I can pick up the bulls game on the radio between Rockford and Iowa City? I'll be past Rockford by tip-off and WMVP does reach past Rockford. My last ditch hope is to buy NBA Game Time Plus and stream it to my phone while I drive. Look for any ESPN affiliate. It's a national radio broadcast.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 6, 2013 -> 11:29 PM) Amazing game. The difference between west ball and east ball is just mind-blowing. I literally fall asleep at times watching these eastern conference teams play this boring ass late 90's ball. West ball is so much more aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. The NBA is the NBA. Their is no difference in play from the East and West. Not like their is a DH or something. Only difference is the West will play later at night in the midwest.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 6, 2013 -> 10:22 AM) The Bulls arent gonna win this series, but I know the Heat werent happy to find out they were going to be playing the Bulls as opposed to the Nets. There will be a lot of post game ice baths for both sides Nailed it. Even at fouls that weren't that hard in the 4th, Lebron was frustrated. Then after he missed the 3 with 22 secs left, he didn't even try and foul when they were down 6. Jimmy was my player of the game yesterday. Didnt let Lebron go off.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 6, 2013 -> 04:28 PM) Parenthood was picked up for a 5th season, very nice. I thought I was the only one who liked that show here. Orphan Black came off as a Shakespeare comedy. Thought it was hilarious. That girl is really good at playing 3 different characters on one show.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 6, 2013 -> 01:55 AM) Reed was due for a bad outing unfortunately. The hex on the Sox continues. Anytime you are up two runs in the ninth, the opposing team should be pretty much dead. It was just a matter of time with the way he was putting guys on base.

f***ing drunk driver
I had two friends killed by a drunk driver my junior year in HS. It was so surreal and confusing. Lots of students full of anger as they were two of the more popular and bright kids in the school.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 5, 2013 -> 04:20 PM) I like it, he's a bigger body than Colbert and adds some good depth at PF in the future. I love the subtle shot that Paul's mom had about Bruce in her email about the transfer. So with Henry most likely transferring, that leaves 2 open scholarships for 2014. I think our #1 priority is Cliff, 1A is Lyle. I personally really want Leron Black because I think he's pretty likely to stay or 3+ years and that gives a ton of talent/leadership to the program for a longer time. What she say? Mrs Paul isn't a bad lady but I've seen her embarrass herself at some of Brandon's high school games.
