QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 07:42 PM) It doesnt get more awesome than this Death From Above Man, I really thought this was going to be something else at first.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 01:43 PM) I really hate the rings argument because it ignores everyone's teammates. Lebron has played with a pile of crap in Cleveland for most of his career and still has two NBA Finals appearances, one of which came because he carried his team on his back to beat a superior Pistons team. It's not like Dirk has multiple rings on his mantle either, and neither does anyone else in the top-10 other than Kobe. He's played with superior teammates to Lebron his entire career and still finally just got his ring this year. He had a brilliant playoff run, but that doesn't wipe out things like losing to Golden State in the first round (though people treat it that way). It also had some seriously fluky occurrences, like the Game 2 comeback and Dallas shooting like 700% from deep in game 5. It's not like they thoroughly crushed Miami, a few plays here and there and it could have gone the other way. Miami also isn't close to the most talented team ever assembled, that would have to go to one of the Celtics dynasties or the early Showtime Lakers. They have two really good players and another All-Star caliber one, but the rest of the team is crap. In the end it came down to the same thing it has for Lebron's entire career: if he doesn't put up a 30-7-7 type line, his team is going to lose against quality competition. I never claimed that Dirk was the best player in the NBA, in fact I don't know who I'd put up there at this point. And once again, LeBron has exhausted all of his excuses at this point, there are non left. And the plays here or there are the ones that weren't made by LeBron in the finals. I watched this guy against the Bulls and thought to myself "well he's finally reached that next level of greatness" and then he regressed right back to some of his old s***ty habits against Dallas. Yes, I admit that I exaggerated a bit on the most talented team of all time but they were the best team this year and LeBron couldn't get them over the hump. I have a hard time watching the NBA and declaring that LeBron isn't the best player in the league but until he actually wins a championship, I can't call him that.

Happy bday you crazy sob.

LeBron has exhausted all of his excuses at this point. I flip flopped about a million times on this last year but once again LBJ showed his true colors in the finals after being fantastic against the Bulls. And Zoom, it's not one series, it's happened numerous times with this guy, he's the most physically gifted player I've certainly ever seen but he has to win something, anything before I can put him at the top of the NBA again. If you can't win with arguably the most talented team ever assembled, then when the hell are you going to win?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 02:21 PM) I'd also say that Kolb doesn't look all that great either. I really was stunned. I thought Palmer would end up going for like a 3rd or 4th rounder. Kolb has been terrible so far. He forgets that he has Larry Fitzgerald on his team most of the time. Not even exaggerating but 80 percent of the time, he'll look to the complete opposite side of the field of Larry then realize nothing is developing, roll out of the pocket and throw the ball away. It's been dreadful to watch.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 12:33 PM) Again, don't understand the Cowley hatred. He sucks at his job, it's not hard to understand.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 10:08 AM) He did not give you that. Group 4 did. Thank god for steroids!

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 10:44 AM) There's an AFL Hall of Fame? Seriously? Ha, that was my initial thought too. Um...congrats Paul?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 01:06 PM) He did look a lot better once Owens and Johnson were out of the way. His last few games, his completion percentage, rating, yards per attempt all shot up, they won 3 games, he threw fewer INT's. I don't even know what his stats were but I literally watched every one of his games last year(he was my fantasy qb for a majority of the year...ugh) and the amount of int's that db's dropped against him was kind of ridiculous. Palmer was HORRENDOUS last year, hot garbage.

Carson Palmer was literally one of the worst qb's in the nfl last year. It was torture to watch him play.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 07:42 AM) It is awful nice of you to interpret for Row. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 07:43 AM) You did as well. Balta was correct, sorry Mike.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 07:33 AM) Thornton is probably the #2 person to be moved this winter. I'm assuming he is gone. 3. Quentin and Danks/Floyd.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 06:59 AM) I'm entirely in agreement with this statement. Ya, I think this will be the consensus around here, certainly makes the most sense in my eyes.

Joe has nothing else to write about. He has no other sources in this town so he's going to hang onto all the Guillens nuts(or lack there of) until he finally gets run out of here. I'm so tired of Ozzie, I'm so tired of Cowley, I'm so tired of Oney and all of the rest of the Guillen f***s. I wish nothing but the worst on all these people.

Rocky 1 through Rocky 25. That's my list.

My response to this article: duh!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 17, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) RT @ProFootballWkly: Per @JasonLaCanfora, the #Broncos have traded WR Brandon Lloyd to the #Rams. They certainly could use him, they have the worst receiving core in the nfl.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 17, 2011 -> 10:36 AM) Let me say what I've been telling a lot of people. Matthew Stafford, while strong armed, is not that good (yet). Could he be, absoltuely, but he's still very inexperienced and isn't exactly dynomite. Calvin Johnson is and there defense is solid. Stafford makes a lot of bad throws, he's not that good yet, I completely agree. Calvin and Suh on the other hand are as good as advertised and in todays nfl you really don't need the best of running games to be a factor. The Lions aren't going anywhere, they're a playoff team and besides GB and NO, they might be the best team in the NFC.

Team Cokehead in 6.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 15, 2011 -> 05:51 AM) There's one thing to make that pass, and there's one thing to have good court awareness to make a pass like that. Alot of PGs in the NBA would either throw a bullet pass down low in the key in that situation, or look at said player. (and a defender might get back in the play) Rondo has always been one of the top PGs in the game as far as his passing (his I.Q., wingspan, awareness etc. is just utter worldly). But for a guy like him, I would have been more impressed if he was making consistent jump shots (or.. pretty much going Kevin Durant on an AND1 team). It was an exhibition game so that obviously makes it much simpler to complete. And yes Rondo is a great pg, never said he wasn't. Absolutely can't stand the guy but he's a very good player.

Still gotta win another in Milwaukee, not over yet...

QUOTE (Cali @ Oct 14, 2011 -> 02:24 PM) Isn't it just assumed that your ace should go 1-4-7* in any 7 game series to give you the best chance to win? All the pundits out there were saying it'd be tough to beat the Tigers with Verlander starting 3 games in a 7 game series etc. That's not always the best way to go especially when your pitcher has never done it before. It's really nothing to blame Leyland or Verlander for.

QUOTE (Felix @ Oct 14, 2011 -> 05:54 PM) Spoken like someone that never watched Johnny Flynn or Sebastian Telfair play regularly. Oh I have but that's oop is really not that difficult. Maya Moore could make that pass.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 14, 2011 -> 03:04 PM) Praise the lord no more Tony Pena. This QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 14, 2011 -> 03:21 PM) Wait, why are we just dropping Septimo and Lindsay? This
