Per foxsports: Taylor is in a coma. Doctors worried the blood loss may have caused brain damage. Survival is now a legitimate concern. Girlfriend says they were shot at twice in their bedroom. Thoughts and prayers go out to Sean Taylor. Just 24 and a recent father, hopefully he can pull through this.

Preliminary reports are that it was an attempted burglary at his home and he went to check it out. Shot in the femoral artery causing a massive blood loss. In critical condition after being airlifted to the hospital.

People who are over the top waaayyyy too into Christmas

QUOTE(Beastly @ Nov 25, 2007 -> 12:22 PM) It's a shame they didn't find anything that proved Shoeless Joe Jackson innocent. Hard to find that which does not exist...

AC is awesome but somewhat repetitive. I'd say its a good 8/10 game. If you have a PS3 go with Uncharted. The gameplay is supposedly somewhat short but there is supposed to be replay value in terms of unlocking things and whatnot. I have both but just got Uncharted last night so i only played it for an hour (it is awesome and is truly a wonderful game visually in 1080p). CoD is a first person shooter, albeit a phenomenal one. If you dont tend to like FPS CoD4 still may be a game you'd like...it's that good. However, if you are really leaning towards a non-FPS game go with AC or Uncharted. I got both and am glad i did, but in hindsight if i could only have bought one it would have been Uncharted (this is provided you have a PS3, Uncharted is an exclusive)

Could anyone explain for me how/when/why the problems with Borass actually began? I'm not really familiar, i just know their relationship with him now. Thanks

Someone told me in NYS it is legal to shoot a dog which is chasing after a deer...i dont see much of a difference here if this cat was truly a threat to an endangered species of bird. If it was a stray and was a pest, shooting it is not the best course of action (as someone said there are pounds), but if it is legal in Texas to shoot feral animals then i legally i can see his case for doing what he did. (Just so i dont get jumped on i am not necessarily backing him up morallly or ethically, just legally)

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 14, 2007 -> 02:58 PM) Exactly. The Sox history is such that they don't go for one year players. They give known dollars for players to ensure stability. I know their history but this is a 24 year old multiple time all star already with WS experience and all the ability/potential to not just be a HoFer but a top 3 or 4 player of the current generation. I just think (possibly naively) that even the Sox would recognize that and IF (which is very unlikely) we were to land him, given all that plus his relationship with Ozzie i think we would sign him. He's the type of player you dont build around for a few years but for upwards of 10+ and i am in full support of doing whatever necessary to try and snag him and lock him up long term

Uncharted, which comes out next week, just got a 9.1 from IGN which is telling since IGN is typically harsh (aka biased) against the PS3. Uncharted is getting reviews basically saying it is one of, if not the best PS3 game yet. Also, for those who care, the original PS3 review of AC which criticized the FPS and screen tearing has been edited with that section removed. Bascially the reviewer lied to justify giving the 360 version a higher score and someone called them on it.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 10:59 PM) yeah, so I assume every 25 year old in low A who is dominating is a top prospect as well? Leo Daigle says hi

QUOTE(Chombi and the Fungi @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 10:18 PM) Garland + Massett/Sisco (either) To the Mets for Fernando Martinez (prefer him but Gomez or Milledge would be acceptable), Sanchez and another prospect (nothing major). Maybe a Jon Niese or someone who has low stock. You cant expect to get Fernando Martinez for JG, let alone Martinez plus some. Martinez will be a top 10 prospect in all of baseball this year and just played AA as an 18 year old. (well, 18 to the baseball world...in all likelihood he's older. i gained some info about that this summer.) But anyways, the only mets scenario that makes sense that you mentioned would be getting Gomez. We in all reality have no shot at Milledge/Martinez

This really is not a Democrat v.s Republican thing...it's really more of a Bill Richardson v.s not being an idiot thing

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 04:03 PM) and why, oh why, would the marlins want jon garland for one year at 12 mill? They wouldnt...without looking back at the posts i believe when people mention him they are referring to an assumption that we would be trading JG and then forwarding whatever piece(s) we got for him to the Fish

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 12:45 PM) Adding the offense that Cabrera and Hunter would provide, compared to the position players they'd be replacing, would be enough to offset the OBP concerns and a lot of our bullpen issues. However, there's no chance that we acquire Cabrera, as our prospects just aren't good enough. I know we dont have the best prospects but if we could get a B+ prospect for Garland and package that with Gio/DLS and Fields and maybe Anderson (who the marlins have actually wanted for a while) that could be enough to get it done if no other team really wows them. Odds are slim, i know, but i would absolutely love to somehow get Miggy on this team.

I'm really starting to like Chris Getz...ive never seen him play but im starting to think he could be one of the Twins type guys that always bug the hell out of us, which would be a good thing to have on this team

It was a 15 minute demo...of course theyre gonna give you a piece with action for such a short portion. I thought the game looked great and while i was leaning towards getting it anyways, i am now sold on it

People who criticize/bash/make fun of hockey with no real knowledge of or experience with the sport Same thing with soccer, but not as much of an issue

QUOTE(BMac Attack @ Nov 7, 2007 -> 02:50 PM) I'm not the biggest Uribe-hater out there, but there were and are better options than giving him $4.5 million dollars to eat/strike out a whole lot. Name one.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 7, 2007 -> 12:30 PM) Well if they declined the option then they'd have to pay him his $300K buyout so they saved $200K if this is true. I dont think they did decline it did they? It appears it was just a re-negotiated deal. At any rate, i'm fine with this. Outside of a trade there really werent many FA SS's we could have taken to improve much and they would have costed more money. Unfortunately, there really wasnt a better option for us at SS for 2008. IMO, KW made the right move here.

People who drive 30 in a 40 People who dont go right on red (when it's legal) When you're in the bathroom at the sink or urinal and someone walks in to use the stall and lets just say they dont hold back or wait till you leave...i just find that it makes it kind of an awkward situation (don't act like you dont know what i'm talking about)

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Nov 7, 2007 -> 12:05 AM) CoD 4 is the greatest game i have ever played! Do you have it on PS3? I'm thinking about getting it but i'm holding off b/c Assassins creed and Uncharted are both coming out in the next two weeks and i dont wanna buy this and end up not playing it

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 05:16 PM) I honestly dont like Youk getting one. Guy didnt make an error all season...thats gotta count for something
