I watched all of it last night. I forgot what the first thing was called, I'm going to call it 3-Ball if anyone remembers the old 2-Ball they used to play. But it was cool seeing the first 2 shots from nearly half court go in. The Spurs easily won it that one. Then the skills contast was sweet, I was kinda dissapointed with Nash but oh well. I'm not surprised that Dwayne Wade won it. The 3-Point Shootout was corrupt, Nowitzki shouldn't have gotten out of the 1st round but they don't have replays. Then the Slam Dunk Contest was even more corrupt, Andre should've won that. I loved watching Nate Robinson do his dunks but I just got tired of seeing failed try after failed try to do his dunks. I wish they had a rule about that still. Then the judges looking at other scores and changing theres to make Nate have a better score and Andre have a worse score. If it would've gone into a second dunk off I think most knew Andre would win it, just because there's only so much a 5'9" guy can do. I loved listening to Charles Barkley last night, normally I don't have a preference either way for him but last night he was making some funny comments. All around a pretty good night though, glad I decided to watch it.

Barry's been a great player, but the steriod issue will always cloud his greatness as a player. haha I think most of us have a pretty certain idea about whether he took them or not.

Jimmie Johnson wins Daytona.

Gotta hand it to Sweden and their goalie on this win over the USA. They played some awesome defense today.

It is too bad that Hernandez won't be on the same team as him, but this is a business and every player knows that. I hope it doesn't affect him but it wouldn't surprise me if it did.

The Cubs may get over the Astros, but no one seems to be talking about the Brewers. I thinkt he Brewers will be better than the Cubs. 3rd place finish for the Cubs if they're lucky.

Not a surprise to me. He should be the 3rd batter. Dye can bat 5th.

Friday night we set a record low for 20 below zero. Earlier in the week we were getting pretty close to the record high, crazy weather I tell ya.

I'd pass him up, love to see the Cubs sign him though. Just another injury prone player thrown into the arsenal.

I don't know if I should bang my head on the desk over and over or just try to laugh about how rediculous this is.

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Feb 19, 2006 -> 03:56 PM) Stewart's the story of the weekend heh.....anything and everything for him today That's what happens when you're the defending champ. I can't say what he was doing with Kenseth but I have a hard time believing he'd go all the way down just for that, who knows though since it doesn't appear to be anything else.

I remember Darren Dalton playing for the Phillies and for the Marlins for half a year. I haven't heard much about him since but this was a very interesting story.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 18, 2006 -> 11:19 PM) The race to replace Vilsack is heating up here, with democrat Chet Culver holding a one percentage point lead over Jim Nussle. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/2006/State...%20February.htm This is going to be a fun race. I remember when I was 7 or so I got Jim Nussle's autograph in a parade, I felt special, haha.

My favorite driver Derrike Cope didn't make it but it's been a common occurance the past 8 years or so. My "other" favorite driver Tony Stewart hopefully will have a good car for the rest of the race.

yeah it looks like he's still the same

My New Years resolution is to watch more White Sox games.

Over/Under: This thread goes all the way til March.

QUOTE(soxhawks @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 06:04 PM) so does this mean no mock draft? I think there will still be a mock draft, some people will have to double up on teams. I'm interested in the Jaguars. He didn't really want anyone to double up teams but I don't think there will be 32 people that want to do this. I think WHarris said he'd be willing to head it, not quite sure though.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 05:16 PM) ^^^^ What he said. Letting Maggs walk and bringing in Dye was the best move of KW's many good ones last off-season. Yeah and I was one of the ones that was very angry about Maggs leaving, it's almost hard to remember Maggs now, I have that World Series championship clouding my vision.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 04:38 PM) You know why that happens? Because it was ok for that asshole to do the EXACT same s*** GWB is doing, and it's an OUTRAGE when GWB does something, but the Clintons were "different". It's simply noted to point out the hypocracy of jumping on every negative bandwagon possible about this president. It gets old, and the defense, at least for me, is to point out your own damn party does the same s***. IMO, they're all assholes, current president included. I hate our government as it exists today. I love our country but I hate the political hackery and bulls*** we are subjected to on a daily basis from both sides of the fence. Pick and pick and pick and pick against the current administration, and turn a blind eye to the same bulls*** that was pulled 8-10 years ago, and it's hypocracy at its best. We're just here to remind you that the same crap was pulled - and you all want to change history or forget that any of that happened. Exactly, it doesn't matter what party you're from, there's going to be some good things, and some bad things, it's just that the opposite party thinks they have to point out every single. I've never seen so much constant picking before and it only gets worse and worse. I'm also very sick of the every day occurances posted. Oh no, a 5th cousin of Bush is in jail, that means Bush is a criminal, oh no a kleenex fell out of Bush's pocket and he didn't pick it up because he didn't notice, give him a fine for that one. Who knows, if there's a democrat in office in 3 years, maybe I'll be the same.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 12:23 PM) You do realize he's currently a college coach as well right? Yeah at USC where the priority is football.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 12:17 PM) I don't think he's even worth the risk, entirely for his health reasons. He still isn't exactly what I'd call "Slim", and IU really couldn't afford to risk taking him on, having him start up the season or even play through a season or two and then all of a sudden have him decide that his health concerns are too much or actually have him suffer from a major problem like a heart attack. The last thing we want is to wind up with Tim Floyd on the bench. Tim Floyd was very successful at Iowa State.

happy birthday
