QUOTE(Craig Grebeck @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 06:37 AM) Way to stay classy. Hope you don't ever have to go through half the s*** Santo has. f*** off. Lighten up. It was a joke. Obviously a terrible thing to say, but a joke.

QUOTE(whitesox91403 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 11:54 AM) This is Skinner, real name Steve Keirn. Was in a tag team with Stan lane back in the day known as The Faboluos Ones That's who I was thinking. My friend has someone else in mind. It's not the Berzerker - "Hus Hus Hus!"

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 11:31 AM) Was this guy in WWF? Yes - circa 1992.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 11:17 AM) I've heard that Hillbilly Jim was a prick before. It wasn't him. I remember when he first joined the WWF. They used to show him in the crowd every week and talk about him. One week, Hogan got jumped in the ring (probably by Big John Stud), and HBJ jumped out of the crowd into the ring and saved him. He actually had fewer moves than Hogan. His submission hold was the Bear Hug. Ahhh, old school wrestling.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 10:48 AM) Don't we lower the flag to half-staff on Memorial Day? If not, we should and then it does what it's supposed to do. Although I agree with Mid-Buff, too. It's half-staff until noon, then raised on Memorial day.

The flag would be at half staff almost constantly if we lowered it for servicemen who died in combat. It's a nice thought, but I think it should probably be done locally. For instance, if a soldier from Illinois dies, lower the flag in Illinois.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 16, 2007 -> 11:37 AM) Hawk ranks HIGHER than Ron Santo!!!??? This is in accurate. To be fair to Maxim, Hawk and Santo were ranked by height.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 11:11 PM) See Dan Patrick show (nothing is better). I disagree, and I used to like him on SportsCenter. I do like the hour with Olberman, but I hate any interaction he has with Phil the Showkiller. Certain guests, like Reggie Miller, are terrible, but he keeps having them on. It's awful when he has Miller and Mark Jackson on and the argue with each other. He kisses up to the guests because he wants to be their friend, and I hate how he talks about pop culture. He's a middle aged guy trying to sound relevant by bringing up Jay-Z or the like. Oh, and it doesn't show up on radio, but his hair dye job is terrible. It makes his face look older. Jim Rome can be funny, but he literally repeats the same sentance two or three times sometimes and just changes a word. His rants are good sometimes, but the majority of his callers who read theirs are terrible.

About 15 years ago, a friend was treated very rudely by a WWF wrestler. I'll spare the details because the wrestler used some pretty nasty language, but I can't remember the wrestler's name. Another friend witnessed the verbal assault and he can't remember, either. Wrestling fans, I need your help. this type of stuff drives me crazy. I think the wrestler had some kind of Cajun character, my friend thinks he was a bearded guy and suggested Cactus Jack. That doesn't sound right to me. Can any of you throw out some 1992 era WWF wrestlers that fit either description?

I'd LIKE to be remembered for leaving three prints in the sand when I strolled naked on the beach, and, though I lacked the ability to play guitar, I knew how to do the Pete Townsend windmill just in case I ever learned.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:31 AM) With how dissapointing the Sox have been. Lost is a welcome thing on wed nights. Lost started just as BBTN was beginning to break down the no-hitter last night.

I see no reason for people to own machine guns and other military style firearms. The government should regulate the types of weapons that citizens can own. My wife carries a gun for work. I've never fired it (wouldn't know how). I carry a leather glove in my back pocket. If someone gets on my nerves, I pull it out and slap them across the face with it. If I can find an appropriate case, I'm going to start carrying a ferret, as well.

Thank you. I'm guessing I would have agreed with this post.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 08:59 AM) I then pulled out the ferret I used to carry and told her I didn't care to go to jail for her worthless ass. I'm gonna start carrying a ferret - just in case. Such a great idea.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 08:48 AM) I got the go ahead from the wife.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 11:16 AM) The backlash from Jesse's comments was NOT minimal. That comment along with his marital infidelity pretty much sealed his fate as an ass clown. I don't think he's really been hurt too badly by these things. He's still omnipresent in all things race related. If you're referring to Jesse as a Presidential candidate, ok, he's done. But, I don't think he was ever a legit possibility anyway. When guys like Sharpton and Jackson run for office, it's for publicity - nothing else. Oh, well. You know what they say about people who argue on message boards....

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 10, 2007 -> 09:11 AM) I agree that we are overly PC, but this is not one of those situations. If you guys were at work, in a meeting let's say and you used the term 'f**ged out', you would expect there to be no repercusions??? I'm not saying Packer should be crucified, but there is no way you can use that word during a TELEVISED interview, in that context and not expect some heat. My bigger problem is not so much with the overly pc reaction (though I think it's unneccessary), but it is with how it is selectively enforced. For instance, Jesse Jackson once referred to New York as hymie town, and the backlash was minimal. In fact, when a white person makes an insulting reference to blacks (eg. Michael Richards), he is for some reason expected to apologize to the black community through Jesse. Al Sharpton has done similar things, and yet Imus is expected to apologize on Sharpton's show. A few weeks back I heard Chris Rock on Dan Patrick and saw him on Letterman, and he did quite a bit of his material that portrays whites as evil. He gets a pass? What's the difference - skin color? Enough already. Imus is an idiot. Quit watching him and he'll go away. He's at death's door as it stands, anyway.

I like Billy Packer and Tim McCarver. Not my favorites, but I think they do a good job of explaining things that are obvious to most. I think Packer meant "f**" as wuss, and I really don't care. Overly pc people bother me. I'm tired of people overreacting to harmless stuff like this. I didn't realize that the board automatically edits offensive words. I typed "f**," and magically the word "f**" appeared. Soxtalk is f**ging out on me.

This is my favorite thread since the one about consumption of raw eggs leading to a big "load."

Don't know if this has been posted. Always seemed like a good guy. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/foo...it_N.htm?csp=34

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 10:59 AM) Haley appears to be doing the "sex sells" stuff full tilt now. And I am a buyer. I thought she sang pretty well last night, and then she got very little reaction from the judges. Maybe I'm in love.

I rarely know any of the bands mentioned in the music thread. I am a square.
