QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 07:36 PM) The Riddler is one of the corniest villains in Batman's rogues' gallery. I don't really see him fitting in the world that Nolan has created. The Nolan brothers and Goyer are going to have to come up with an interesting angle to make him into a compelling foil. They seem to shy away from bad guys with a supernatural bent such as Clayface, Killer Croc, Mr. Freeze, ManBat, etc. It would be cool if they could work in a character like Deadshot (one of the world's greatest assasins) as a secondary villain. You could've said the same about Joker. Then Nolan did his own Joker and it killed. I think it would be the same with Riddler.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 06:26 PM) Mike Martz secretly took out $2M life insurance policy on Cutler I'm guessing it's satire and it's stupid satire at that.

I watched it live on a stream. I'm glad Cena lost and I'm glad Undertaker lost. Sadly, both those swerves were seen since the day the PPV card was madeup. Undertaker only brings back Paul Bearer to have him turn on him, and you knew WWE wasn't going to put another guy over Cena. It was hilarious seeing the sad little kid with the Cena gear almost at tears.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 07:45 PM) Not quite that sure yet. As it stands right now, I feel the Lakers will tear them apart in the paint. Disagree strongly. Bynum is already injured until December at earliest. I wouldn't ever depend on him anymore.

The Hulk Hogan theme music was possibly the greatest most random thing I've ever seen on television.

I honestly think it has to be Robin Williams for Riddler. If not him, I'd go with Joseph GL

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 03:34 PM) dont be hatin.. u know its not too late to go ahead and bet the house on the Heat this year I actually am.

I'm taking the Rays.

Reds are my favorite NL team which is why I know they'll get swept against the Phillies. They simply are not good enough. Honestly, I think this year was a fluke year. They don't have enough talent.

I'm taking the Yankees in 4.

I'm going with the Giants only because they seem to have more momentum. I think both teams are really equal though.

Alexei should win GG, but I don't forsee it happening. Anyone else read the Sun-Times today? Sounds like both KW and Ozzie buried the hatchet once and for all.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 3, 2010 -> 09:56 PM) Todd Collins sucks. Seriously, how bad does Caleb Hanie have to be to not beat out a 38 year old with no arm who has started like 6 games since 1998. Only reason why he's #2 is because he knows the offense.

It's completely on the offensive line. You can clearly see the talent, or lack thereof. They got a bunch of 3rd stringers playing.

How come the Cena vs Wade match wasn't in Hell in a Cell. Isn't that what it was advertised as? If I ordered the PPV, I would be pissed and ask for a refund.

Saw it Friday. I was one who thought it's stupid to make a movie out of it, but Aaron Sorkin did a damn good job. Only 2nd to Inception for me.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Oct 3, 2010 -> 07:37 AM) Jayson Werth is a FA, just saying. Who's being marketed as a CF by Scott Boras. No thanks. Honestly, if I'm KW I go after Matt Kemp.

Honestly, they should only keep the WCW World Heavyweight Title. That looks like a real championship belt. The WWE championship looks like s***. And the unified title belt looks almost as bad. Agreed Randy sucks as a face And John Cena needs to lose on Sunday

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 04:24 PM) Unfortunately Carl Everett is washed up. We need Orlando.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 12:41 AM) Not saying you're wrong at all, because the offseason warrants anything, but- I remember Ozzie stepping into s*** after he was especially vocal about retaliation. I think his feelings on this matter were clear to the point that umpires may have shat, so to speak, on his parade by throwing out warnings early on. Guillen isn't broke but getting fined for thousands of dollars probably doesn't and shouldn't sit well with him. The uber-informative media (which as much as I'd like to rip, I can't because they're simply doing their job) lets everyone know the scent of Corky Miller's farts, so Guillen talking about how much better a Twins hitter would look with a fastball (not from MB) on his torso would probably make headlines in Bolivia, or Saturn . I think his message was made clear when (I can't recall his name off the top of my head) ran out of vagisil and couldn't quite locate a hitter and ended up the f*** off this team. I don't need to read it in the Tribune to know that Ozzie doesn't like his guys getting hit. Similarly, ANY manager or coach is going to kiss the ass of the team that beats their team to win the division. What can one possibly do or say in such a situation? Final standings speak for themselves. Ozzie said he doesn't order retaliations at all anymore. That's up to the players to protect each other. He said he didn't want to get in trouble, but if a teammate feels that another teammate was hit intentionally, and wants to order a hit, then he's all for it. The only time when a hit was ordered by another player was when Konerko got hit by the Twins. And Ozzie amongst others on this team compliment the Twins so much on how great they are. I didn't hear much of "We're a great team, we can beat them." It was more like "They're a great team. I told everyone in Spring Training. Oh yeah, we're in first now, but the Twins are coming." It was like they conceded the division before they got their asses handed to them. And PK was as much of a factor in that as Ozzie.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Sep 30, 2010 -> 10:54 PM) I love both of the younger starters, but I see Floyd being moved before Danks, with the latter getting an extension. If one of the two were to be moved I'd certainly rather see it happen like that. The return should be nothing less than a player who contributes and makes the Sox a better club at once, nothing less. In a perfect world Danks, Peavy, Jackson, Buehrle, Floyd- that is a rotation that implies the team is serious about winning. This is of course assuming someone's nose, eye, or pitching arm doesn't randomly detatch (Peavy), no hitters and perfect games are kept to minimum (Buehrle), and others don't get traded for the sake of being traded just because (Jackson). I get the feeling that if Konerko wants to stay here, he will, payroll be damned. Reinsdorf will do that for this guy. Konerko's statement today was nothing more than a canned statement that pretty much any good ballplayer stepping into free agency says. I hope he's back for 2 years/reasonable $$$ I love all his contributions, but I'll take no PK next year and some cash. I think we need a different leader in the clubhouse and it can't be Ozzie. We need someone who would order for a retaliation when one of our get hit. We need someone who won't take getting our asses handed to them. And we need someone who will b****slap someone for complimenting the Twins on how great they are. BTW, Danks will be traded first. He'll demand more money and will be a pain to sign.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Sep 29, 2010 -> 04:57 PM) did anyone happen to net any tickets to the bulls heats game in January? the presale started at 10 am, and all the presale tickets were gone for that game at 1, and only a few singles tickets remains for the laker game From what I heard, tickets other than single seat were gone when the presale started. Naturally Bulls fans went after Laker tickets, then Boston. I knew I wasn't going to get Heat tickets unless I got a season ticket package, so I decided to hold off on that. My woman gets a discount through her job anyway.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 28, 2010 -> 12:58 PM) On the SCORE this mornign they were talking about how the Bears kept Harris over Alex Brown because they felt Brown would be a rabble rouser when it came to the players union....ya that is good move. The Bears need to just realize that Tommie Harris is not good anymore and be done with it. Haynesworth is a headcase but at least he still may have talent. Harris is just injured and bad. Well Drew suprisingly was trying to calm him down saying he's still coming back from injury, he has to understand the Bears' stance, etc. Kind of weird, but I think Harris just needs a change.

Not sure if it was mentioned, but Bears benched Tommie last night because they got wind of him having a conversation with his agent Drew Rosenhaus about how the Bears disrespect him and he wants out immediately. Tommie for Albert swap?

In the end, I see both sides just waiting to see what the figures are for contracts under the new CBA. Joakim sees it would be significantly less and signs the deal on the table now.
