QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 20, 2011 -> 01:28 PM) So...I must say...before this story, I had no idea that such thing as a "Privately owned zoo" could even exist in this country. And on top of that, we appear to have had a large, privately owned zoo where one guy could do an awful lot of damage. And a guy who has had "Animal cruelty issues" for years, with the animals living in "Filth" according to ABC. Seriously...why the Hell is any of this legal? There was one in Batavia, IL, right up the street from me in high school The guy had a few tigers, lions, panthers, wolves and even a Liger, as well as many different types of deer species from around the world(Ibex, mule, miniature) and Bison and Buffalo as well. The place was called Land O'Lorin, and the owner is now in jail for solicitation of murder. I heard more than a few stories in HS that the big cats helped the guy dispose of a few problems

articles like this are why I want Tebow to fail and to fail hard

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 20, 2011 -> 12:46 PM) And the ones in private zoos are almost always from the breeding programs, not captured in the wild. Which is why I felt the comparison was valid. They were not shooting from the population that is endangered, they were shooting animals where the most probable source is breeding programs. It still doesnt make the animal less endangered Tex, and it still doesnt make this any less tragic and stupid. If it came down to only a few wild animals left and a dwindling wild population, the zoos do attempt a reintroduction process as they are with the White Rhinos.

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 09:18 PM) Also, many of these animals are products of overly successful breeding programs. They aren't as endangered, at least the zoo produced as one may imagine. This is a pretty obtuse way to look at it. Most of the animals are on the critically endangered list, just because a Zoo is producing more of them doesnt make them less endangered in the wild. Zoo's rarely breed them to release them back in to the wild

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 07:11 PM) Wow, Im not sure why they cared about it.. Brown got practically 0 playing time and best of my knowledge Harrison can still play. If nothing else have a 7th rounder too. schefter later tweeted harrison failed his physical. so apparently he cannot play

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) Ronnie Brown to the Lions for a backup RB and a 7th round pick. rescinded today due to a health issue with Jerome Harrison. Brown still an Eagle per Adam Schefter

This cracked me up, I figured other cat lovers would also find it funny

I think they gave the kill order after they tranquilized a tiger and it became extremely agitated so they ended up having to kill it. Tranquilizing any animal is not an exact science, and sometimes the drug has the reverse effect and animals become even more dangerous. These were massive predatory animals that were already confused and running around, just an extremely sad situation.

Such an extremely sad and mostly unavoidable(unavoidable meaning once he set them free, the authorities had pretty much no choice but to kill them) ending for these animals. This guy decides he doesnt want to live anymore, and gets 50 innocent animals killed in the process. I bet it was kind of funny/scary seeing that tiger chasing around those horses

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 01:32 PM) Who's better than LeBron? Bird couldn't dream of doing the things in today's game that Dirk does. And yes, Bill Russell is the most overrated player in NBA history. thats my only beef.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 01:26 PM) Zoom knows his hoops. Anyway, I said this last year and I'll say it again: LeBron is still the best overall player in the game. Dirk > Bird. And Bill Russell = Ben Wallace or Dikembe Mutombo. Anyway, i said this last year and I'll say it again: you drink too much

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 12:58 PM) Pitt was the main reason I hated it. go eat some boo berry or count chocula you fascist movie critic

I took a film class in college that made me appreciate Raising Arizona a lot more for all of the unique things they did with their camerawork. IIRC, they "invented" like 4 different camera shots that had never been done before. Plus, I love Nic Cages character in that movie, such an idiot. Brad Pitt and John Malkovich crack me up in Burn after Reading

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 11:19 AM) Even Konerko cancelled his season tickets. he will get them back when JR finally acquires the Coyotes

My order of favorites after the Big Lebowski is Hudsucker Proxy Fargo Raising Arizona True Grit O Brother Where art Thou No country for old men Burn after reading I have seen some of the rest, but those are my tops

QUOTE (The Critic @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 02:48 AM) Turns out Vince Russo wrote the screenplay. SPOILER ALERT: The killer becomes the policeman early in the movie, then turns into the killer again, then the cop, then the killer, then teams up with other cops, but turns on them with other killers. The other killers he teams up with are old killers from movies from 20 years ago. Six of the actors had to go to rehab, but were written back into the script afterwards. The actors who were there at the beginning of filming were eventually either written out of the script or given greatly reduced roles. At the very end of the movie, HULK HOGAN appears to save the day (and hog the glory at the press conference after). such a lie. Vince would never have Hulk save the day. It would have been Jarrett. Unless Bischoff rewrote the screenplay halfway thru

It doesnt get more awesome than this Death From Above

boom goes the quinarvy-mite

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 04:36 PM) Who knows what they didn't trust him with? Maybe the coaches talked amongst themselves about what a terrible signing Dunn was and Coop told Kenny about it. Oh, so Kenny didnt know that until Coop told him? If you(not just you Marty, anyone. Ozzie, Cowley, etc) are going to label Coop a rat/snitch, lets talk here about what Coop actually said that could have affected Ozzie in any way. As far as we all know, Ozzie was welcome to come back and coach for his last year of the contract, and he didnt want to do that because he wanted guaranteed money. He spoke to JR about it(which was, in effect, going over his immediate boss to negotiate, which somehow seems ok here), and Jerry, from all accounts, told him he had to play out his final year. Ozzie didnt like that, and went ahead and greased the wheels for the move to Florida. So how exactly does Coop become a rat/snitch here? What exactly could he have told kenny that would have made the above situation happen? What could Coop have possibly said worse than anything Ozzie or Oney have said or tweeted in the past two years? Its as if you think that Coop gave KW some revelation that Ozzie is a verbally irresponsible person and a mediocre manager. We all could see it. KW/Coop isnt the one running around spreading rumors about Ozzie stepping out on his wife, or stories about what happened in the clubhouse. then you add on top of that the Sox having barely .500 years the past 3 seasons, what the hell could coop have possible said or done that Ozzie hasnt said or done himself?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 01:24 PM) 9,000 comments better than this one? “Since last year, this was about integrity, it was about loyalty, it was about do they want me here. Let me say it my way: The Sox were saying, ‘Yes, we want to f--- you, but we don’t want to marry you.’ ’’ I doubt that. LOL, only you would doubt that

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 12:15 PM) Nah, since he blew out his shoulder in 2008 he hasn't been the same player and has a fraction of the arm strength. He's Kyle Orton, now. he blew out his shoulder too? all i remember is when he blew out his knee in the playoff game against the steelers, after he had his best season as a pro

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 11:11 AM) Possibly 2 1st rounders for Carson f***ing Palmer. Al Davis isn't dead, apparently. palehosefan beat you to this joke one page back

Jay Glazer reporting that the Raiders and Bengals are close to a deal that will send Carson Palmer to Oakland

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 07:37 AM) i dont see anything wrong with what he said because we dont know who is lying or telling the truth, ozzie or cooper and we'll probably never know hard to say Cooper is lying when he isnt making any accusations

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 05:49 AM) Whether Coop has 26 weeks or 26 years there is still an organizational chart based on position. So yeah, maybe he did go over his bosses head. That doesn't always work. Oz went over his bosses head and tried working out an extension with JR. Currently soxtalk seems to believe that Oz was the singular worst manager in the history of the game. There is nothing he can say or do that will not be blasted. Untrue now, and every other time you say it.
