The makers of Batman Forever and Batman + Robin should be arrested for crimes against humanity. I thought Batman Returns was ok. I watched it the other day and it holds up ok.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 2, 2012 -> 08:47 AM) Avril already was talking about how he didnt want that to happen, was hinting at holding out. Doubtful, considering the repercussions I hope they tag him and he holds out for all of next season.

Falcons have applied the franchise tag to free agent CB Brent Grimes. Sounds like Cortland Finnegan and Cliff Avril are next.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 02:57 PM) Does anyone here actually want to deny that the GOP has gone bats*** crazy? “You’re setting up a rule that not even Jesus and his apostles could adhere too.” Classic line.

I love all the recent comic book movies. As a long time comic book fan, they seem to be finally getting them right.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 10:34 AM) Read some of the comments on the news sites and you would think that by the glee some are expressing. Comments like this? Kennedy was a special pile of human excrement.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 29, 2012 -> 06:11 PM) If that happens, I may refuse to pay my season ticket invoice this year, cause it would mean absolutely nothing has changed with the new GM. I doubt they bring him in, but I do think it's going to be hard to find good WR help in this years free agent market. Teams don't want to give up some these big talent guys. Like Bowe and Jackson. Bears may have to trade for a WR.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 29, 2012 -> 08:15 PM) That bug story was fascinating. I wonder if the Zoo that has the breeders has looked at the genetics of them. You have to imagine a species with such a small population is doing something strange to survive 80 years. Maybe they have turned to cannibalism.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 29, 2012 -> 04:28 PM) Steelers release Hines Ward. Ouch. He's done. Bears will sign him.

I hope they make it.

Six-Legged Giant Finds Secret Hideaway, Hides For 80 Years

That trailer just made my day.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 01:13 PM) The problem is that about half of those were chosen over better candidates. It's not just those particular cases either. Slumdog Millionaire won over about half a dozen better movies that year. I can't explain it perfectly, but it was shoved down our throats as a feel-good, never-give-up-hope, help-yourself picture in a down economic year. It's just that they often choose a movie or actor to make a statement rather than the most deserving one. I'd say movies like Forrest Gump, Rain Man and especially Schindler's List were deserving. Slumdog Millionaire as well. It's all matter of personal opinion. I hate musicals, but I'm not going to say the movie Chicago didn't deserve to win best picture, maybe the academy thought it was the best movie that year. I just don't think it's some plot to make certain movies win. On a side note, I hate award shows. I think the idea of making art a competition is incredibly stupid.

That's every zombie movie ever. They usually only have people become infected with a bite. 28 Days Later isn't really a zombie movie.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 27, 2012 -> 05:00 PM) And Sean Penn. Another thing I hate is the way the Academy pushes their own agenda. They love straight guys who play stereotypically flaming homosexuals, and the Holocaust thing I mentioned earlier. I hated that they gave Jamie Foxx Best Actor for playing Ray Charles when both Leonardo DiCaprio and Don Cheadle were better that year. And in doing so, it screwed Joaquin Phoenix the following year (not giving the same award to another guy playing a recently-deceased music legend in back-to-back years) when they gave it to PSH for Capote. Adrien Brody stole Daniel Day-Lewis' in 2003, Roberto Benigni stole everyone's, Mickey Rourke getting robbed in favor of Penn, etc. They love to push their agenda. Since 1960. There have been 9 awards out of 255 given to a movie or actor/actress involving either being gay, mentally retarded or the Holocaust. Best picture - Rain Man, Forrest Gump and Schindler's List. Best actor - Milk, Capote, Rain Man, The Pianist, Forrest Gump and Philadelphia. I may have missed a few, but That's not really an agenda.

I won't watch the Oscars until they apologize for giving the best picture award to Annie Hall and not Star Wars.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 27, 2012 -> 05:42 AM) How much should be emphasized on 40 times? You rarely run in a straight line for 40 yards. Not much is emphasized on 40 times. Unless you are the Raiders.

I'm excited to see Chris Sale be a starter this year. I think he is going to be good.

He should get suspended just for his awful t-shirts.

@TJQuinnESPN Braun claim his 20-1 t/e ratio was 3X highest ever recorded: according to experts, have recorded as high as 70-1, and 20-1 not unusual.

I wonder if Braun has been using his whole career or if this was just something he did for the playoffs. I guess will see this year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 08:42 AM) @MarcNYY618 someone dumb enough to not check when FedEx closes isn't going to smart enough to make a false positive I always keep some extra synthetic testosterone around the house. You never know when you are going to have a urine sample in the fridge.

Watch Braun hit about 12 homers this year.

@Haudricourt: MLB has put out a statement saying it "vehemently disagrees" with arbitrator's decision on Braun. That would be Shyam Das.
