QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 6, 2011 -> 07:48 PM) Junk shots is pretty much the theme so far. I'd say it's an upgrade over the "women are trying to cut off your n*ts" theme of last year.

The first INT hurt since it turned into a score, the second INT was really a killer though; stopped a drive that would have gone for points.

IN case anyone didn't realize it, Aguilera botched a full line in the anthem.

Everyone except the birds.

Doug Lugursky is a wonderful football name. Even if he has a bad game.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Feb 6, 2011 -> 06:26 PM) you have a gambling problem Maybe I don't and I just am trying to slog my way through the patriotic fervor by staring at my watch.

Ok, the win was the under on the length of the anthem (1:54 was the bet, 1:51 was the length) and over on the length she holds the word Brave (0:06 was the bet, 0:09 was the time).

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Feb 6, 2011 -> 06:21 PM) Did Dubya just get a cheer? I doubt you could really tell over that voice and in a stadium that large. Could be though. It is TX.

Oh goodie...another movie pretending that aliens would invade Earth because of all of the Earth's amazing resources. Someone needs to make a movie where they invade the asteroid belt. Lot more resources in the asteroid belt.

Do we really need a declaration of independence reading to start off the super bowl?

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Feb 6, 2011 -> 05:03 PM) i think all along the major glaring weakness of the bulls is they don't have another player who can handle the ball and create own shot. if you look at it, all the championship caliber teams has a few players who can handle the ball and create their own shot, i.e. lebron/wade, rondo/allen/pierce, nelson/richardson/hedo and kobe/odom. I'm not really sure I think of half of those guys as creating their own shot. I get the handle the ball part and how that's a weakness of the Bulls, I'm also not sure that many of them are good ballhandlers either.

QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ Feb 6, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) Agreed. Good off-season marketing, but I really hope they go with a different campaign once they start playing ball. "Come see your first place White Sox..."

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 6, 2011 -> 04:25 PM) Yankees are doing nothing but picking up scrap heap players this off-season, outside of Soriano and Feliciano. Reminds me of the Red Sox last year.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Feb 6, 2011 -> 04:14 PM) This for sure... And it's really bad at this time of year to workout on college campuses. It's packed all day b/c so many dumbasses think if they start working out 4 weeks before Spring Break, they're going to look awesome. Can't wait til late March when the crowds die down. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the people who do complaint 1 of this thread. Or even worse, the groups of 3 people who do it.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Feb 6, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) 2 of the 3 keys to the 2008 season were already acquired in at the start of the 2007 season, John Danks and Gavin Floyd, finally living up to their top prospect status. For all we know, in 2014, we might look back and say the same thing about the 2011 season and how even though it looked like we were about to have to rebuild, having Morel, Beckham, Alexei, Viciedo, Sale, Mitchell, one of them catchers, and some of the bullpen guys like Santos, Infante, and Carter, and say that "even though the system looked bare, the key guys in our rebuilding were already here"

Yankees sign Ronnie Belliard, Eric Chavez to minor league deals.

1 year, $4.3 million for Liriano, avoiding arbitration.

BTW, here's the rest of that ESPN article that wasn't linked on the previous page.

Dwight Howard picks up his 15th technical foul. 1 more is a suspension.

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Feb 6, 2011 -> 01:47 PM) I don't understand why people run for office even when they know they are going to lose big. Make connections with lobbyists and fundraisers that can set you up with the nice, guaranteed income stream for life.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 6, 2011 -> 03:45 PM) When you have 22 starters on the field, there should be more HOF slots annually to recognize that. Especially when 1-2 go to management/off the field people every year. And when you have other specialized guys, like kickers (Vinatieri, Hester for example).

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 6, 2011 -> 03:43 PM) I would also bet if the Sox didn't get Dunn, they wouldn't have spent as much as they did. They probably also let PK walk, and go cheap on the pen. I dunno...there were enough DH-types on the market that the Sox could have still fielded a 90+ win, winning team this offseason without Dunn. Dunn was just the best of a number of options, just like last year
