Amazing stat: Minnesota was 2 for 41 on non-dunks and lay ups last night.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 06:50 PM) As much as I wanna know how "Walt" got on the island to tell John to get up and all that, the kid that plays Walt isn't very good at speaking lines. I feel he would almost ruin some of the acting. For anyone that follows basketball, Walt is looking more like Ike Diogu every time we see him.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 06:35 PM) Was anyone else hping that the person on the table was Wallllllltttttttttt at the end? I suppos it was just wishful thinking that they'd tell his story. Otherwise a tremendous episode, but all Locke episodes are The show's been extremely predictable lately...but that might be a good thing. BTW, my wife just started watching the show this season. There's nothing more difficult than explaining storylines to someone with no foundation about what's taken place in previous seasons.

QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 04:13 PM) The Cubs don't matter. If the Twins made the World Series and won it, I wouldn't care at all. I can't say that would be even close to being true about the Cubs. The Twins are our rival...the Cubs are our enemy.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 04:31 PM) Kind of random, but considering Ben Gordon seems like he is gone from the bulls. What type of NBA prospects are Gerald Henderson and Dar Tucker? Henderson still is a tweener between SG and SF. However, he's going to play himself into a lottery pick. Tucker will make a fine professional player....in Europe. My prediction is Tucker goes pro this year, doesn't get drafted, and then leaves the country to get paid to play.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 05:53 AM) And that effectively ends their NC aspirations. They were already razor thin before this. Now they're Ally Mcbeal thin. Losing your 4th best player to injury doesn't end your chances. Hell, maybe Acker can help stretch the defense a little more. And might I add that Jerel McNeal is amazing. He's been the best guard in college basketball during conference play.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 06:49 PM) Like two other posters we have around here, eh? They wouldn't post here this year, or something. I had talked to some mods/admins about my "punishment" from last year, and came up with the idea of me not posting in game threads anymore.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Feb 23, 2009 -> 10:55 PM) watching the DEs workout on NFL network...michael johnson is a specimen...i wouldn't mind trading down to mid 20s and grabbing him if the top 4 tackles are gone when we pick at 18 Everyone knew Johnson would be a workout warrior. I don't want him in the first round, as the only thing he's actually good at ON the field is blocking kicks.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Feb 24, 2009 -> 02:01 AM) I didn't say the situations were exact replicas of each other, but the parallel is quite clear. Both were beloved franchise players, who turned to the "dark side" I'm sure it's just me, but the "dark side" for the White Sox would be the Cubs.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Feb 24, 2009 -> 01:08 AM) This is pretty much our equivalent of Damon going from the Red Sox to the Yankees. Like Damon, Crede is the villain of the piece. I hold no ill will towards Joe just frustration over how he and his agent handled the contract situation. Just another example of how much of a commitment the Danks family has to this organization, they made some concessions, Crede vehemently did not. No it's not...Boston wanted Damon back, and the White Sox didn't want Crede back.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 23, 2009 -> 10:13 PM) Assuming Owens and Getz get spots in the starting lineup, Viciedo goes to the Minors and the Sox go with 12 pitchers that leaves 4 bench spots. The backup catcher and Betemit are locks so there are two open spots. Out of Lillibridge, Nix, Wise and Anderson who are you taking? From what I was told, Nix is a longshot to make the squad.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 23, 2009 -> 09:46 PM) The guy has been given exactly one chance, and that was back in 2006. He sucked for the first half, and picked his game up the second half. Since then, he's been given no regular playing time to get any kind of consistency going. We'd be such a better team if Owens just goes 0 for Spring Training or the other thing happens that happened to him last season.

QUOTE (scenario @ Feb 23, 2009 -> 04:20 PM) The Wilder affair is a pretty sordid and twisted situation, isn't it? A 'rising star' as a baseball executive... then... Skimming on signing of Latin American prospects... Losing over $500,000 investing in a gay nightclub in Phoenix called "Club Burn"... And now reporting an income of $7.50/hour. All in the period of a couple of years. Wilder belongs in jail for what he did. It's karma that he got f'd in the ass by his nightclub investment.

Did they have to censor out a dancer's boob at the end of that strong?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 08:26 PM) Krabbenhoft is a SR and Bohannon and Hughes are JRs. Yep, that means they're in the upper echelon of most experienced teams in the country. I hate how sites use everyone on the roster to determine the average experience for a team. All that matters is the top 6 or 7 performers.

What happened at the end of the Illini game? I was watching the end of the entertaining Syracuse/'Nova game, and didn't know the Illini game was close.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 03:18 AM) McDermott better do anything he can to retain Brackins next year. Otherwise, I really believe he will be fired at the end of next year. Brackins will go pro...he's flying up the charts right now.

Blake Griffin suffers a concussion...I doubt he'll be back in 48 hours to face Kansas.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 21, 2009 -> 07:52 PM) Really? Why? To take over for Leno

QUOTE (Benchwarmerjim @ Feb 21, 2009 -> 09:16 PM) I am one person who likes the Joe Crede signing Coin the phrase on your message board "Credepopsitup"

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 21, 2009 -> 06:07 PM) All on nbc.com I don't get all the drama of it. I mean he is just moving up an hour. Moving from NYC to LA

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Feb 21, 2009 -> 05:39 PM) Was there not a new episode of The Office on Thursday? My DVR didn't record it if there was. Nope, it was a 2008 episode.

As someone else said, I'm much more concerned with the possibility of the Twins acquiring Juan Cruz.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 21, 2009 -> 03:28 PM) I didn't realize it was the last show. What happened on it? Lots of highlight clips. Andy returned, and then Conan gave a cool 10 minute thank you speech at the end.

Last "Late Night with Conan" on in 10 minutes.
