I simmed through the early portions, but he took two different froms of Anabolic Steroids? http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/14...-020809.article

He was turning into an all-star calibur player before his back acted up again. I don't think he's healthy. I didn't even realize he's already 30. Best of luck to him, but I wouldn't be surprised if he rested at least all of this season.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 7, 2009 -> 03:13 PM) And Vinny Del Negro is the solution to that because...? Vinny knows what type of offense he wants to use, Amare is perfect for that offense, there is no one for Amare that he has to defer to, and he wants to play in a big city because of his rap label and other enterprises.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Feb 7, 2009 -> 01:17 PM) in the past he was the suns only post presence and on the few occasions where they were in the half court they fed him the ball alot...theyve been using shaq a ton this season and it has taken away from amare IMO...also as an offense the suns are scoring 5ish fewer points than last year....either way he is an upgrade over anything we have Well, he's also unmotivated. They don't feed him the ball much downlow, Porter has phased him out of the offense and it is now ran through Shaq. With that, you have an unmotivated Amare who just looks around because he doesn't care.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 7, 2009 -> 02:37 PM) It's just a shame, and I can't believe a guy like A-Rod, who unlike other players was an serious stud since freaking high school, would feel he can gain a better edge even with the biggest contract in MLB history. Ram and the others were never involved with A-Rod, but Canseco did mention him in his book. He was great at the age of 16. Just pitiful to hear. How do you think he gained all that power? Previously to joining Texas, his last 3 years he average 41.5 HR while hitting no higher than 42 HR. First year in Texas, he jumps up to 52, then 57 then 2003, the season he got busted, went back to 47, then 36 the following year with the Yanks. From 1996-2000 = 184 HR From 2001-2005 = 240 HR That's a 56 HR difference. I don't think the bandbox in Texas made all that big of a difference. Then 1999: http://pictopia.com/perl/get_image?provide...photo_id=380651 2003: Now:

I wanna third name. Someone PM a third name.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 7, 2009 -> 09:45 AM) Yes. The slate will be wiped clean in my book. The boycott would be over and i'd be jazzed about this team's chances for the future. As for this Portland to Phoenix talk, they've already openly stated they are not trading Aldridge. Almost wiped clean. It's not like he's acquiring two HOF players at once. He would view much better upon in my book. The Bulls are going hard after Amare though.

It's not surprising and as soon as Canseco made those claims, I thought he did the dirty deed. I mean, look at him from his latter Mariners days and then look at him in Texas, all the way up to NY. He turned super super buff.

Bears reportedly are interested in Simeon Rice. It was in today's Sun-Times I believe.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Feb 1, 2009 -> 02:12 PM) I'll give you one of my favorites from Wayne off the top of my head. I personally would've went with Tie My Hands off of The Carter III, but even that can't go against Em's greatest lyrics. As far as hip-hop being poetry, it is, though sometimes it may be hard to see such. Regardless, there are different meanings to each song just like in any other genre.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 2, 2009 -> 09:17 PM) Happy B-day. Will you now admit you were just kidding when you said Ben Gordon is as good as Brandon Roy? I was just kidding when I said Ben Gordon is as good as Brandon Roy ...Ben Gordon is better than Brandon Roy.

Thanks fellers! I'd like to thank my cousin Hank and my uncle Baxter for making this all possible! And to you guys who share my same birthday, cheers!

Very happy the Cardinals came back. They indeed showed they could hang and they most definitely showed that they belonged. Why was there no review on that last play by Warner though?

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Feb 1, 2009 -> 08:50 PM) You might still be right. Big time choke job with their missed blitzes.

AND THE CARDINALS TAKE THE LEAD!!!!

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 1, 2009 -> 07:46 PM) Weak roughing the passer. Agreed. Terrible call.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 1, 2009 -> 03:13 PM) LOL. Ok, yeah, I don't buy that at all. It's true. Jerry is pissed because the assistants are pretty high paid(amongst highest in the league IIRC) and apparently they aren't meshing well together. I would've never hired Ociepka. He's never been on even a decent winning team and I'm talking like playoffs. I don't know if he's ever coached in it as even an assistant.

Nice play by Boldin. It was all set up by Warner dumping off to Breaston throughout that drive. Eventually they have to account for him.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Feb 1, 2009 -> 05:12 PM) Brenda Warner looks much better without that flat-top Agreed. The Cardinals meanwhile are sucking major balls right now. They can't tackle at all.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jan 31, 2009 -> 07:57 PM) It is unlistenable. I dont even think it's a rock song either. Don't worry, Hot Revolver sounds worse. And MHizzle, please post a verse that could match up to that? Basically something that's lyrical that makes sense.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 31, 2009 -> 03:04 PM) There's another question though...how many advantages has he had in the process? 2006 Draft, #3 pick, Evan Longoria. 2007, #1 pick, David Price. 2008 #1 pick, Tim Beckham. You give almost any team in baseball the selection of draft picks they've had over the last 10 years and eventually, just by blind luck, they're going to hit a few that stick. Not saying he hasn't done a fine job and built up a solid org there, just wanted to point out the advantage he's had that other GM's haven't. Pittsburgh or KC?

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jan 31, 2009 -> 04:15 PM) Regardless, I'd take Wayne's body of work from Tha Carter I-present over Em's period where he was on top. Oh wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I don't see Wayne write anything close to that good.

Eminem hasn't released a song in years. He hasn't released anything for someone to say, "Wayne did better than that".

Can't believe people would say they would take Wayne over Em? Are you insane?
