QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 03:12 PM) If Jose throws a perfect game he should immediately be traded following the game.... value would never be higher Would about 10 perfect games in a row going into a showdown with Stephen Strausberg? Both of them have perfect games going. Ozzie sends Count to go up and hit. Count is seen uttering the words, "I must break you" and then hits a ground rule double off Strausburg's head into the stands. Jose should retire a Sox. He's da best. Then he should play football after his Sox career's over. Possibly for da bears.

I hope Count gets a perfect game. The Bronze Titan deserves it. Plus, I would love to see it on replay tonight.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 05:58 PM) What a difference a year makes... (even if this was fake, at least he tried to act like he liked Romo) He actually liked Romo a lot. I at first thought those tears were a joke or something, but TO was a huge backer of Romo. Romo didn't return the favor though.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 01:54 PM) I think it is a hilarious article more than anything. I still think the Magic are going to be very disappointed in Carter and have to watch Courtney Lee become an even better player in NJ I don't think they will. For the first time in his career, he's on a legit contending squad. Ever since he hit New Jersey though, he's been a very underrated player. The one thing I don't like about him is that he's getting to be more and more of a jump shooter which fits right in with Orlando. I wish he would just drive with reckless abandon like he used to, but he is older now.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 09:19 AM) http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/orlando-guts...rter-o-no-24670 Godawful article. Lewis would start at the 4. Magic fans, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he the one who usually started at the 4 anyway with Hedo at the 3? Regardless, Magic could shift their lineups around. PG - Nelson/Johnson SG - Pietrus/VC/Reddick SF - VC/Lewis PF - Lewis/Gortat/FA? C - Howard/FA Honestly, they're just as flexible if not more flexible with a guy who can create his own shot without a problem.

Bulls will definitely make the playoffs. The Magic were willing to go 8 million a year for Hedo. He didn't think it was fair. Good luck finding a better deal considering the salary cap is going down, and there are other FA's out there. If I'm the Magic, I sign a Rasheed Wallace or Antonio McDyess for the MLE. Also re-sign Gortat. Smith has gone on record saying it doesn't look like Hedo will be back. Carter is much better than him anyway, and he's actually been pretty healthy. VC was one of 3 players to average 20/5/5 last year which is saying something. He's a very underrated player not as well as a very underrated shooter. Very nice pickup for the Magic.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 10:19 AM) TO gets hate because he messes up the team ON THE FIELD and in the locker room, regardless of what those other players do off the field, they are gamers and pretty good teammates on the field. I will say he got too much flack in Dallas. He fully supported his teammates, but one of them in particular did not and that was Romo. Sure, Witten and Garrett wanted to get Witten the ball more, Witten didn't take the Owens thing personal, Romo never back Owens at all though. He never backed him which is why Owens became pissed.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 04:55 PM) Ugh, I'd rather just let Gordon walk. Outlaw > Anyone from this draft. Blake = Would be a lottery pick in this draft. Plus this allows you to keep Ben Gordon who would be a consensus Top 2 pick in this draft with Blake Griffin. It's a no brainer really.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 04:04 PM) What would the Bulls get in return for Hinrich, any ideas? Outlaw & Blake

It does suck. Madrid was one of those teams majorly in the hole in terms of debt as well as Manchester United, but their logic is that the sales of jerseys, merchandise, etc. will generate the money back plus more.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 07:35 PM) IF it was Ferry who made the call on not dealing Wally Szerbiak's contract at the deadline, sure. If ownership made that call... It was ownership. Apparently, Dan Gilbert is paying the luxury tax all out of his pocket as the other investor's have been having problems. So even though they're selling out, Gilbert was losing money fast. He didn't want to add another year at more money for a declining Shaq when it is not known if he and others will have to sell their stake on the team. BTW, Brown is a horrible coach. Kind of like Sam Mitchell.

And, the Kaka transfer I mentioned a few pages back happened and they also did end up getting David Villa from what I've heard. Next on their list is Vidic and Xabi Alonso.

Mitchell would be a bad pick. I am also in the Gibson want category.

Brian, the last two Real Worlds were god awful. The one in Cancun looks pretty good, but we won't see until we get there. It looks like they replaced the token angy black guy over the past few seasons with the token gay guy. Brooklyn was a complete borefest though. In fact, that would be a complement for how crappy that show was.

Cubano definitely needs to post more. He did call Betemit being a bust for this team. His hitting never came around.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 01:00 PM) So Roger Clemens is innocent because he denies anything to do with steroids? And so is Bonds, because he denies knowingly using HGH/Roids? Your logic doesnt make any sense..... Well exactly. Derrick is innocent because he said he didn't do it? If that's the case anyway, how come it took him a couple of weeks, hell you could say a year as he was notified along with Memphis at the end of the tourney about it, to discuss the matter with the media or NCAA?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 5, 2009 -> 02:33 AM) Ron Guenther, Illinois AD, giving leverage to the shoe conspiracy: “We understood what was going on (with Rose) all along,” Guenther told the Champaign News-Gazette. “The sport of men’s basketball has issues that the NCAA has been trying to address. There are many tentacles to the problem, so there is no magic bullet to solve it. It has been a focal point for discussions in this conference for more than 10 years. We’ve had task forces looking into the AAU, the shoe money, the agent.” It didn't stop Illinois from going after him. They just got pissed because Reggie & Co. wanted Weber to not only give up some dough, but supplement the money lost he would've gotten from Adidas for going to an Adidas school. But alas, even Guenther knows about the shoe money and the funneling of cash through the AAU team circuit.

QUOTE (BaseballNick @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 10:22 AM) I really had no idea they were going to be on campus; then one day I'm walking to my Econ class and Dustin Hoffman is five feet away. Obviously, no one expects to see an Academy Award winning actor on campus, so it didn't click right away. I casually nodded hello to him, and then about 15 seconds later I thought to myself, "That guy really looked a lot like Dustin Hoffman." I didn't get a chance to meet either of them after that, but it was a pretty awesome to be around when the movie was being shot and to have that mini run in with Mr. Hoffman. Forget that, did any of you guys get free food from the food truck outside of the Student Center? I remember I was going to be an extra, but when they didn't pay anything, I decided it wasn't worth 4 hours of time just walking around the same spots. I did manage to get a burrito though! lol.

Weeds starts on Monday, Entourage in July. Woo!

I can't believe no one mentioned how Kaka is being transferred to Real Madrid for I think 92 mil.

New Jersey or Delaware I thought now allow you to do it. Alot of the sportsbooks online do indeed funnel the money through a third party financial institution.

It was just a gift from his mom. Nevermind the fact that she couldn't afford a Honda Civic brand new, much less a Hummer. As far as Jordan, he punched his teammates because they mouthed off to him and even tried to swing at him after he yelled at them not being prepared. Maybe that's why he became the best. He demanded excellence from his teammates, even if they were crappy scrub players. Shaking someone's hands though after tehy beat you fair and square is unsportsmanship. Beating up your teammate because he won't learn a play or two is much different. Heck, I wish Jordan was still here to do that to some of our current players.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 08:31 PM) Not me. I just couldn't care less that a pro basketball player cheated in high school. It honestly doesn't bother me one bit. So it wouldn't bother you one way if you struggled in a class and studied your ass off just to pass a test, while Derrick probably didn't have to show up to class was probably playing hooky with his boys, and he passed that same test that he probably doesn't even know what was being covered? It's kind of like work too. You wouldn't care if your boss let you and a coworker who holds the same position as you were treated differently because he plays golf with the boss? I'm pretty damn sure it would. QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 08:33 PM) No, and please spare me the "this is how you actually feel but you're too blind to see it" lecture. I've already stated how I felt several times. Same goes here.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 05:50 PM) That's ridiculously harsh, hell, people don't even get those kinds of penalties when they're found to be guilty of plagiarism. Not really. This is beyond plagarism. The guy's grades were altered, changed, or not even his. This is way worse than regular plagarism. It's way worse than Sampson last year overall. The only reason why more people are acting careless about it or trying to put it under the rug, is because it's Derrick Rose, from Chicago playing on the hometown Bulls.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 02:42 PM) 5 hours before game starts Well there's 90% chance of thunderstorms from what I've been hearing. I got tickets tonight and really want to go to on my day off. Dammit!
