  1. As my high school US History teacher said...you can't truly judge a president for a good generation or two, if only because the programs put in don't truly take effect until it has been around for awhile. There are always immediate repercussions, but the long term effects are what a president should be judged on... That being said, the great thing about this country is that there is freedom of the press...left, right, center...doesn't matter. Oh yeah, and I do think he's the worst president ever.
  2. Gonna show my age here, but I always like Jimmy Connors. Then it was Michael Chang. He was always a tough out. And he could run and run and run and run and never seem to get tired. I've kinda lost touch the last few years, but Agassi is my last men's fav. As for women...Chrissy Evert was A-1, then nothing for a long time. Now, I just like women's tennis overall. No particular fave, just the quality is sooo much better.
  3. Griese has beaten out Brad Johnson, Jay Fiedler and Chris Simms, and I also think Gus Frerrote. Now i know they aren't Elway, Marino and Montana, but be prepared for a good ol' fashioned quarterback battle this summer. which is good for Rexy, Kyle AND Brian. Look for Griese to come out on top, though. Just a hunch.
  4. I think Chicago teams have cornered the market on players like AJ. Players you hate on one team but love on yours, in no particular order: AJ Dennis Rodman Albert Belle Bob Probert Bryan Cox John Starks (briefly) John Salley etc.
  5. QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 14, 2006 -> 10:47 AM) No he is right. Other religions that have been around for centuries need to be made fun of. Scientology, who was invented by a writer, and is the "trendy" religion, is too serious to be mocked. ^^^^^^^^ Green implied.
  6. Just to show how old I am...I remember watching the Michael Larson episodes. I'm sorry, but he was a genius. Anyway, RIP Peter...you made watching cheesy game shows cool... "Suck it, Trebek."
  7. QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 10, 2006 -> 03:51 PM) Step 1 of orbital insertion As long as they aren't pissing in the b****es ocular cavities... Thank you John "Vicki" Johnson.
  8. QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 10, 2006 -> 11:15 AM) Just tell Konerko to run a post pattern to 1st. Takes too long to develop. Send him on a quick slant. Well, as quick as Paulie can go.
  9. QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 9, 2006 -> 11:15 AM) Intolerance of those that are different is what started all of this. And this didn't start on 09/11/01. This goes back centuries ... from all sides. Now this, I can agree with.
  10. QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 9, 2006 -> 10:57 AM) We have a difference of opinion on the media/Bush thing, but that's cool. C'mon Yas, I think the liberal media thing is old. The "liberal" media raked their favorite son, Clinton, over the coals about the whole Lewinsky deal. Honestly, with all this talk about liberal media and Fox News being balanced, I see that news orgs are trying to be more centered. Tangent: You know, when I was in college, one of my journalism professors said that there is only one kind of informed person and that's one that reads newspapers and magazines, and listens to the radio AND watches TV. And not just all liberal, like Air America or all conservative, like Fox News...but EVERYTHING. So, let's just drop the liberal media thing already, huh?
  11. Hey Shelly, an addiction is an addiction, whether it's drugs, alcohol, porn or religion. When you go all out from one to another, that's a problem. The question is, do you truly have faith?
  12. QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 12:03 PM) I must say, this deal is highway robbery. Kudos to KW. I wonder if KW went to Arizona brass and said, "Yeah, we got Javier Vazquez from you, but you got Chris Young."
  13. Perhaps this is the end of Ozuna? Mackowiak is a left-handed hitting infielder/outfielder Gload is a left-handed hitting infielder/outfielder (sorta) Borchard is a power switch-hitting outfielder Cintron is a switch-hitting infielder Ozuna is a right-handed hitting infielder/outfielder. I'm not saying he's gone, but maybe they will keep Gload for his higher average? Should be interesting.
  14. QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 03:01 PM) I thought this video was going to be about the cartoon robots I guess it was more than meets the eye.
  15. Steff: I'm stumped. Chaos: Magnolia.
  16. QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 12:04 PM) The previous one was Caddyshack. And yes, the one above is The Thing. Next.. 12 Monkeys.
  17. QUOTE(q\/\/3r+y @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 05:13 PM) Come on... this should help. It is a damn classic. Lost Weekend? Steff...is that The Thing with Kurt Russell?
  18. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Edwardo's. It's not the best, but their spinach deep dish is awesome. Texas pizza sux ass as well. But there are two decent places in town...Rounder's for thin crust and garlic knots (*drooling*) and Mangia. The owner's of Mangia went to Chicago and developed their pizza based on the Chicago deep dish model. It's pretty damn good.
  19. QUOTE(THEWOOD @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 08:21 AM) GO BUCKS!!! BEAT NW AND WRAP UP THE BIG TEN!!! GET READY FOR THAT FIRST ROUND LOSS TO A 15-SEED!!!
  20. They have some issues, but I'm going to pick Texas. 'Nova's too small. UConn's got too many streaky players. Duke has speed issues (plus, some smart coach will put a Brian Randle-like guy on Redick and that'll be the end of that) Memphis is too young. This is going to be a fun year...no clear cut overwhelming teams. The Big Ten usually shows well in the tourney. They'll lose a couple of teams, but I could see one of the teams making it to the Final Four. They are coming from arguably the best conference where really only one team is a pushover (Purdue), and they really aren't that much of a pushover. I can't wait. And neither can Vegas...they are going to make A LOT of money off of the losers this year.
  21. QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 10:24 AM) I'll go use the restroom whenever I need to go. I'll try not to interfere with people, but I'm not gonna make myself uncomfortable or wait til between innings when the line is 30 mins. long. God forbid you miss one pitch of a 9 inning, 3 hour long game. GMAFB. Geez, ever heard of Depends?
  22. Thin = Pat's Pizza on Sheffield just south of Belmont Deep Dish = Uno's, Lou Malnati's and Pequods. I don't know if anyone's been there, but the tomato and pepperoni is mouth-watering.
  23. Chaotic Good Human Barbarian... BORING...I wanted to be a gelatinous cube.
  24. QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 06:04 PM) Hmmm Ken Ober, dead or alive? Dead or Canadian?!?!
  25. I will carry one bullet in my shirt pocket for you, Don. Thanks for the Apple Dumpling Gang! RIP.
