Joo teenk joo beeg tine?? Joo gonna die, beeg tine. HEER CUN DA PAYYNE !!

This f***ball has been running that hole in his face since he left the Sox. Bitter prick, I hope we hammer his b**** ass when we face him.

I'm all over it. She is stuck in the worst episode of Saturady Night Live EVER. It's 30 mins. into the show and I have not even come close to laughing. Pooor girl.

Ok, who is going to say it first?

How exactly do you qualify to play for a particular country? Interesting decision by Nomar. I wonder if he speaks Spanish. As a side note, when I was a kid, most of the Latin ballplayers in MLB were Mexican. Today, there are few and far between. I know there has been a huge influx of Dominicans and Venezuelans, but why the drop off in Mexicans??

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 07:46 PM) The Chicago media flip flop?! Get the f*** out It's the same way Dusty Baker is going from the greatest manager ever to a pariah in a few seasons. ....and KW not doing enough at the trade deadline last year by 'only' picking up Blum and passing on Griffey. Now everyone is on his nuts.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 07:35 PM) Let's hope. If they lose and he doesn't perform well, though, they'll catch a lot of s*** for not letting him play before. The Chicago media can kiss my ass. They flip flop worse than in any other city. If the Bears win tomorrow, Smith will be a genius for having rested everyone. If they lose, he'll be a moron for having rested everyone.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) I really don't know what to expect from Grossman. It surprised the hell out of me that they didn't let him play at all in that last game to adjust and work off some rust. I think he'll be fine and maybe his lack of play time can be an advantage since there isn't much film on him. He doesn't need to be spectacular, only good enough. If he doesn't make costly turnovers when he passes and we run the ball well, we'll be fine.

Game over. I expect two things to happen tomorrow. One, the Baers D will not dominate like in their last matchup. Carolina has made adjustments. Two, the Bears will put up more ponits since Grossman is back. The score will be higher than people expect. Bears 24, Panthers 17.

I'm looking ahead and I'd MUCH rather have the Bears face Wash.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 07:11 PM) C'mon Seattle! Why Seattle?? Jesus, missed a FG. The Redskins have been asking to be put otta their mysery for two weeks.

LOL. He'd still be free if he'd just said he was Joshua Gardner from Minnesota.

Man the Redskins look so beatable in these two playoff games. I guess you could say the same about the Bears with all D and little O. I hope they squeak past Seattle today and we face f*** Carolina tomorrow.

What's the over-under date on when Bush drops the s*** hammer on this guy? http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/americas/01/...reut/index.html

What a bad plan this guy had. http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,...1861809,00.html :headshake

Exactly, just watch if the Sox don't set the baseball world on fire in April how quickly he'll be bashing KW and JR about making too many changes to a team that had won the WS. Too predictable to even be fun any more.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 01:39 PM) I'm not talking about self-defense, that's 100% understandable. I'm talking about whether it's "worse" or "more outrageous" or "more newsworthy" depending on race or whatever. It all seems to come back to race, and that's just sad. I know what you meant.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 01:21 PM) I know I'm being a "dreamer" or whatever, but I still find myself wishing for the day when anyone beating anyone would cause outrage in people. This world is so f***ed up. Awwwww, I'm all warm and fuzzy inside right now. I feel you man, but it is what it is. You never know how you might react until you're actually in a situation. I tell you this though, if I'm caged up with nowhere to go and no one is helping me and two dudes are talking about taking my s*** and RAPING me??!! Then sheeeeit, you better believe we're about to straight up knuckle.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 02:33 AM) Disclaimer: I haven't seen the film. Maybe, the fact that it's a film about two gay cowboys that doesn't include any of the troubles one may experience is what makes it revolutionary. Think about it. It's done in a way that doesn't focus on them being gay. IMO the story could have been told within a heterosexual relationship (with some obvious changes of course) and still been a very good film. Again, I'm not flying the BBM flag and it might not win best pic, I just think people think who think they know what the film is about should open their minds and give it a chance. It would be like dismissing 'Field of Dreams' because Oh it's just another stupid movie about baseball. They might be surprised.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 06:45 PM) But what exactly makes it a contender for Best Picture if it doesn't actually address the subject of homosexuality? It would be similar to Clint Eastwood not presenting the conflicting views of mercy killings within Million Dollar Baby. I don't understand how a film about two gay cowboys can't include any of the troubles one may experience, and yet is considered "revolutionary." I've already heard three news segments use a variation of the term when highlighting the film. You're asking me to answer for other people and I can't do that. I'm not even sure BBM is the best pic. All I'm saying is that both films are very good and I could see it going either way. I'd suggest you not listen to me or anything you've read, but to see BBM and decide for yourself.

were you the one who yanked cannon on him?

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 04:37 PM) I agree it's not that simple. However, you can't just recreate true stories without additional elements. Look at Titanic: everyone knew it was bound to sink before they entered the theater, but due to the numerous conflicts within the film (ie, DiCaprio/Winslet, DiCaprio/Zane) it provided an ideal blend of drama which obviously persuaded academy voters. If anything, events based off reality only restrict directors, screenwritiers, etc. I haven't seen BBM, and I don't believe I will. Which is why I emphasize it must be one hell of a movie to defeat Munich. Ask yourself, if you've seen the movie, how Eric Bana has evaded talks of winning an Oscar? I couldn't care how gay Gyllenhal or Ledger can portray themselves, Bana should atleast be included in discussions for Best Actor. It's amazing how shunned Munich has seemingly become. What I wonder about the film is how exactly the relationship between Ledger and Gyllenhal is portrayed. Are they outcast by society? Does the movie illustrate how difficult it is to have an open relationship with another person of the same sex? What message does Ang Lee send about homosexual relationships? For all the discussions pertaining to the film being "revolutionary" I'd expect several of the preceding points to be addressed. If not--or not to the extent a best picture warrants, then I'll be convinced this movie is being acclaimed simply because the two leading actors are THE GAY!11@@@ If I created a story about a chicken f***ing lunatic who must choose between his love of assraping chickens, or conforming to socities standards towards such activities, I damn well better include as many angles as possible within the script. I"m not comparing homosexuality to chicken f***ing; but rather the depth of inner conflicts and society pressure I'd have to show. Bottom line--does BBM do this? What Munich did successfully is not only highlight the inner struggles Aver (Bana) experiences, but openly suggests the acts of Israel may have actually caused more harm than good. If lends the audience (I imagine) to pick sides. Do they support Israel's act of retaliation, or sympathize with terrorists? What message does BBM send? I haven't extensively asked people about the movie, but no one I've talked to really has been overwhelmed by it. It seems liberal individuals are more intent on promoting the movie as a venue to expose people to homosexuality than the film itself. I feel you and I think you should see the film for yourself. It's not the 'pro gay film' porn fest everyone wants to believe it is. I'd go so far as to say it's not even a 'gay film'. In a nutshell, no it probably doesn't do any of the things you're looking for, but it doesn't set out to. Does that make it a bad film? IMO, no. Like I said, comparing films head to head is impossible.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 02:53 PM) If it was a white guy beating up a black guy...this would be a national story. ...or maybe the story is this big because it's a black guy beating up a white guy. Do you think black guys beat up black guys in holding cells, or guards beat up black guys at county and get no help from the guards? Ever hear about that on the news?

Kyle, I heard that too and since it went on for 20 minutes, there is a lot of footage that we didn't see. Everyone has their own survival skills I guess.
