QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 02:07 PM) Cintron with a nice play and odd throw. If by odd you mean weak.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 02:03 PM) did hawk and dj get a ring? They'll probably give them their rings during the broadcast today. QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 02:04 PM) Pussies. They were way too high. I know, I would have made them go inbetween the light towers.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 12:32 PM) LeBron only wore his temporarily, to get some compression in his knee, b/c it was a bit sore. Well, I wasn't wrong. QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 10:27 PM) When AND1 became popular, basketball in general, went down the drain. This is what you call a wildly unfounded statement.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 01:12 AM) All I can say is good. I saw some wearing white ones, I forgot who they were but they looked terrible. LeBron did, and they did look stupid, but banning them is retarded.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 01:44 AM) Im not denying how good robinson was. One problem: He was not a heavyweight ( read the poll) he was a middle and welterweight. haha oh yeah; brainfart. whatever, i stand by everything else.

You have to put Joe Louis, Marciano and Sugar Ray Robinson at the top (he's not even in the poll, but Larry Holmes is?). Louis was a tough S.O.B, and Marciano, though not as skilled, had the equalizer. He could duck, move, take punches, and then catch you with as powerful a punch as there's ever been. And it would be over. Plus, Marciano never lost! 49-0-0. He took out Louis, Archie Moore (maybe the most skilled fighter ever), Ezzard Charles, Jersey Joe Walcott; and that was back when boxing actually had good fighters. Nowadays it's garbage. Joe Louis would have wiped the floor with Evander Holyfield. LDF is right on, and he's especially right to bring up Sullivan and the like. Back in the old days, they fought bare-knuckle and a round didn't end until somebody was knocked down. The fight didn't end until somebody couldn't continue. Cassiuis Clay might be the most overrated athlete of all-time.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 04:50 AM) I liked the part where you said Boone Logan is a better bullpen option than Javier Vasquez. We all know you meant Javier LOPEZ..... Also, he called him Logan Boone a couple times but that may have been nerves

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Mar 19, 2006 -> 08:55 PM) Its an odd year when the Missouri Valley has more teams in the sweet 16 than the big ten and sec combined. SEC has 2 (FLA & LSU)

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 19, 2006 -> 08:06 AM) You don't seem to understand that gambling goes beyond what teams have the most prestige, and what matchups CBS thinks they can promote. And you don't seem to understand how rare and difficult it is for a fix to happen. Illinois lost, plain and simple. To come around ranting about fixes and garbage like that makes you look like one of those tinfoil hat-wearing lunatics who claims to have been abducted by aliens. Or at the very least, a sore loser. I'd wager anything that the action on this game was pretty damn close to 50/50 anyway, so what the hell would be the point of fixing it? It's not like Washington was the 12 seed. They were the 5, and the game was in San Diego. Illinois wasn't heavily favored at all.

Oh yes the game was fixed, we all know how much America wants to see those Washington Huskies succeed. What we have here is a scandal the likes of which haven't been seen since Watergate, and it was discovered by none other than soxtalk itself. Let's launch the investigation; I want subcommittees, I want hearings, I want accountability.

Is that all anyone does around here is whine about the refs? I watched the game and I didn't see favoritism for either side, but when one team shoots THIRTY SIX 3 pointers, and the other team shoots eleven of them, who is going to get to the line more often? Hmm, that is a real brain-buster. Nevermind that Indiana was out-shot, out-rebounded and turned the ball over almost twice as much. Plus they only made a third of their six free throws anyway, so who's to say that it would have even mattered?

rowrg P.O.S. is raw enough to bite your ear off.

9-2, missed Alabama and Witchita State.

working fine for me now

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Mar 16, 2006 -> 12:46 PM) Am I the only one who's getting elevator music instead of the Video's regular audio feed? Yeah, the Witchita State game is messed up.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Mar 15, 2006 -> 02:57 PM) Isn't bettable as one won't be posted? Even if the odds are s***ty (-1000), if you are parlaying 4 teams at those odds you will still double your money. I mean there isn't anything closer to a for sure thing in gambling than that. A number 1 seed has never lost. So if you are able to parlay 4 at 500 bucks and make 500 bucks in a day, what is wrong with that? Yes, they wouldn't be posted at all. The odds would be way worse than -1000 anyway even if they were, because like you said a 16 has never beaten a 1. Sports books are not set up to make you money.

they're not booing, they're saying Logan.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Mar 15, 2006 -> 01:53 PM) Considering that the #1's have never lost in the first round and that #2's very seldom lose in the first round, has anyone here ever bet on the money line on them? Taking a 4 team parlay on the #1's would double your money and a 8 team parlay on the 1's and 2's on the money line would bring a return of 3.3 times your wager. I am just wondering if anyone here has done this before. If not, why would someone choose not to do this? Isn't this as close to a sure thing as you can possibly get? A lot of times if the line is big enough (or small enough), the money line isn't even bettable. Plus the odds would be so s***ty, you'd have to bet a ton of money to even win anything.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 09:28 AM) If I was Pax, there is no way I would trade him for Pierce. This is one of the funniest things I've read in a while.

OMG rushing the court OMG WHAT IDIOTSsoxtalk holier-than-thou> f*** duke

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 04:33 PM) Is that Jerry Orbach before he kicked the bucket? No it's after

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 07:03 AM) Spiff, Ryan Gomes has been playing very well lately at PF for you guys. I know Ainge gets a lot of stick and rightfully so, but he's hit on some draft picks in the last couple of years in Delonte West and Gomes. It's too bad Marcus Banks is coming out in Minnesota now though. He's been really good the last few games, after Al and Kendrick went down. 5, 7, and 5 o-rebs the last three games in his 3 double-doubles. I was never a huge fan of him in college because while he put up good numbers he never led his team anywhere. They always got bounced early in the Big East and NCAA tourneys. But he's got a good basketball IQ and he's a good role player.

David Lee is just a big dork. And he went to Florida.
