Well, they need defense. But that doesn't seem like enough for one of the best players in the league.

What are you, ten years old? Do you not understand how business works?

How are the Misfits not in yet? Talk about influencing a s***load of bands...

none of this is really newsworthy, but Mark Johnson is now a Brewer, and Gary Glover (who I thought was decent for Mil last year) is goin to Japan. http://minorleaguebaseball.com/app/news/ar..._milb&fext=.jsp

What it comes down to is, would you rather have Brand or Chandler right now? 10 out of 10 would take Brand.

man, you really gotta grow up

He has had damn near 10 rebounds by halftime a number of times already. IMO, the only thing holding him back from superstar status is his inability to alter shots out of the PF slot. You can score on sweet Antawn without much of a problem. There is no denying that he has been unbelievable this year when you consider his overall impact, though. Game Log At the moment, you couldn't find a more devastating shot-altering force in the NBA than Marcus Camby. The guy is just insane, and if Nene and Kenyon Martin were healthy, the Nuggets would still be my pick to play the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals. Not pictured - any Boston Celtic. In fact, the Celtic closest to the top is Paul Pierce at 25th (8.4 per). :headshake Blount got a DNP last night because he refuses to play defense. They started Kendrick Perkins of all people at center and he at least got 6 rebs in 25 minutes. But this team has no defense, no rebounding, and no solid point guard (even moreso now that Delonte is hurt). They lost to Atlanta on the road and followed that up by barely beating Charlotte at home. Impressive. [/rant]

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 09:47 AM) Whatever. My buddies were ripping gamediscs and modifying their PS1's before Dreamcast came out. Dreamcast was a poorly launched system, they didnt collapse because their games became downloadable. Modifying, yes, so they could play games from Japan. Nobody even owned cd burners when the PS1 was around.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 12:08 PM) Maybe Callis already considers that McCarthy was an impact player in 2005. So was Papelbon, maybe even moreso.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 09:44 PM) And that didnt happen to Sony? no...

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 04:59 PM) Tell that to the fellas who created Sega Dreamcast Great Games + Great System dont always = Great Money Maker. I also know that if any company could absorb that kind of hit, it would be Microsoft. It cannot be pleasing to them to know that both times they launched a console, they took the same hit. Im part of this club! Sega didn't sell Dreamcast games because people figured out how to rip/download/burn them.

I had to look that one up, but yes, apparently they do.

They make it all up on software.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Nov 24, 2005 -> 10:08 PM) jenks. jump on board, brother. now is the time. come see some good games at the UC! anyway. I would take Ovechkin over Crosby. Sidney was hyped because he was the next Great One (Canadian) However, Ovechkin is a Russian God, bent on nothing but goaltender destruction. He's pretty damn good. TO THINK THE HAWKS MISSED OUT ON EITHER OF THESE GUYS BY ONE f***ING PICK!!! 2005 Draft Order 1. Pens 2. Caps 3. Hawks So unfortunate. Ovechkin went first in 2004, and Chicago picked 7th in 2005.

I know he was injured last year but goddamn Thome was horrrrrrrrible. And he's 35 years old. Maybe I wouldn't mind so much if it weren't Rowand going to Philly, he's my second favorite behind Uribe.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Nov 19, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) I'm a huge country music fan, so I'm going to see this. I was talking to my friend yesterday who's a big fan of bands with names like Most Precious Blood and The Black Dahlia Murder, and even he wants to see this. My point is that almost everyone likes a little Cash. Most Precious Blood is pretty good, I saw them in January in Boston when they opened for Rise Against. Black Dahlia Murder is bad though. And to make this post relevant, I too like Mr. Cash mostly for the fact that he had concerts at Folsom and San Quentin.

QUOTE(CrimsonWeltall @ Nov 19, 2005 -> 02:14 AM) why is it that scientologists are the only group that can be made fun of nowadays such blatant hypocrasy no s*** huh, it's like the christians have a monopoly on being the comedians. it's like the jews of the 60's-70's-80's.

QUOTE(The Bones @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 02:20 AM) The DVD Trilogy is on my Christmas List and I've got to say Part II is my favorite. I only first saw them a couple of years ago and was blown away. I think I watched all three on consecutive nights then went back and watched all of the bonus material. Also, I agree with Qwerty that the third one isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. It's got some bad acting by Sofia Coppola and it's definitely not as great as the first 2 but it's still a good movie. I don't know if you already knew, but in the baptism scene toward the end of the first movie, the baby being baptised is Sofia Coppola. I thought that was kinda cool.

Fibula is the one in the back, and it's smaller.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Nov 13, 2005 -> 02:07 PM) The minute we get excited about Grossman (OUT) The minute we get excited about Bradley (OUT) The minute we get excited about Benson (OUT... probably for more than just this year) This sucks... let's go Adrian Peterson. QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Nov 13, 2005 -> 03:27 PM) I think your solution is pretty clear, stop getting excited.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 09:23 PM) A guy who is successful more because of the offensive scheme his team runs, and less because of pure physical talent. Jeff Garcia was a winning QB in San Francisco under Steve Mariucci. In Cleveland, he was awful. The difference between the two was the offensive schemes. He's been mediocre this year I'd assume simply due to age. If you're willing to call Tom Brady a great QB because he makes smart throws, is accurate, is clutch, and is a good leader on the field, you have to ready to call Ben Roethlisberger a great QB too. Oh, and you still haven't answered whether or not you believe Brady would be successful in any other spot. I'm sure he would be...but I don't think he would be nearly as successful in many spots. I do not feel the same about Peyton Manning. You really shouldn't undercut yourself so much. Jeff Garcia was successful in San Fran with Terrell Owens and Garrison Hearst and goes to Cleveland with Kevin Johnson and a psychotic William Green and he's not so successful, christ what could be the reason for that? We need to get NASA on this caper. Roethlisberger is a very good QB yes, has been since Miami, but he's not great. He hasn't been "very good" enough to win 3 Super Bowls yet. It's a fact. Would Brady be successful other places? Yes. But put anyone in a dire enough situation and obviously they're going to struggle. Put Peyton Manning in Houston, you think he's going to win more than 5 games? f*** no. A quarterback can only carry you so far. Brady does exactly what he needs to do. I will repeat it in case you missed; Brady does exactly what he needs to do. And he does it more often than Manning does. That is the mark of a great quarterback.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 12:08 AM) It seems that so many people are just enamored with the Pats (Simms, Peter King, Bill Simmons obviously). Hmm I wonder why? Oh, I know, maybe the fact that they've won 3 Super Bowls in 4 years? Could that be it? Could that be the reason? Is that why they get so much credit? Nahh, couldn't be. This is a real tricky one.
