I voted "SHIPPS has a girl car even if he buys a muscle car, because SHIPPS is a girl"

I agree with shack, there is no right time to get married, it is unique to each couple.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 09:23 AM) All about the $$$$$$$$. What sucks is that this will kill the regular season now. Teams in the ACC/Big10/BigEast/etc always aimed for a minimum of .500 to basically be assured a tournament bid. Now teams finishing 7-9 or 8-10 will be getting. Also I bet we see some of the "bubble" teams start scheduling really soft OOC because they wont need those signature OOC wins and the high SOS ranking since their conference will basically give them a top 100 RPI as long as they hover around .500 in conference. This will probably but an end to the NIT. I know, but both properties are mad moneymakers. And they are tweaking the one that doesnt need it

Kind of funny how willing they are to change something that works so great in March Madness when nobody asked to change it, but they are totally unwilling to change the BCS to a playoff format when people have been screaming about it for years.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 03:18 PM) Agree Ha! You would do a standing back flip if Joe Crede and his monster first halves and bad back were signed today

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 11:30 AM) I hope Bret is still physically able to work a single match with Vince. I don't think Cena should be in a tag match at Mania if he is one of their biggest stars. Rumor is that Cena's back is in bad shape, he probably wants an easy match at mania.

They do need to trim that mane around the neck a little bit, I agree Soxy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 08:21 AM) Minor league deal for Kevin Millar. Cowboy Up! Woo Woo! Here comes a title!

I loved Edge spearing Sheamus, and I loved it even more that he called him Evil Ronald McDonald.

Bret almost had the sharpshooter on Vince last night. Batista with the save, its starting to look like Cena/Hart vs Batista/McMahon

Bret Hart tonite!

So the A's traded Aaron Miles to the Reds for Adam Rosales and Willy Tavares I have to believe that Damon is now completely out of the A's picture given that they already have a crowded OF and are still negotiating with Gabe Gross

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Feb 1, 2010 -> 08:45 AM) Yeah, that was just a tentative card, they could go alot of ways with it, I just am dreading anything that involves undertaker + title and Sheamus + title And sad to see Rumble being used the way it was! I highly doubt either of them lose the title in the next month and a half.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Feb 1, 2010 -> 08:17 AM) I didnt get to see the full rumble match, but just seeing edge win makes me puke. I love Edge, I love the possibility of Edge vs. Jericho, but man, the guy just comes back and is auto-in title picture. Guy never loses. The rumble should be used to springboard people, I believe a comment I read was that Cole said in the final four or something "All these men have headlined wrestlemania before." That's exactly what was wrong with it... I want to see people WANTING to be the winner, I want Ted Dibease Jr., Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston, The Miz, maybe Morrision in the mix at the end, yeah, alot of those names dont seem like theyd belong there, but if they just booked it better before, then it could have been a possibility. Out of those names Ted Dibease would have made alot of sense, you have him win, then at EC have Randy win, and walouh awesome. Massive boost for Dibease's career, and you let the guy who is owning the fans (Orton) headline with him. Orton vs. Dibease HHH vs. HBK Sheamus vs. Big Show Punk vs. Rey Edge vs. Jericho Undertaker vs. Batista? Cena vs. ___ something similar to that or something Regardless of Dibiase and Orton losing, i think there is a good possibility that they face each other in Mania anyways. They have been teasing the problems with Legacy and Orton for a while now, so it will probably be either Rhodes or Dibiase facing Orton at Mania. The only difference I see right now in what you have is that you have Sheamus/Big show and Edge/Jericho mixed up. Show and Jericho are going to fight because of the problems with Jerishow and Sheamus is going to keep the title til Wrestlemania and face Edge. I actually want Edge to win the title back because I think Sheamus is really lame. Im wondering who Cena will go against too. Maybe the other Legacy member. You also get to look forward to Hart/McMahon(hopefully Vince doesnt blow this)

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 1, 2010 -> 08:19 AM) But...what happens if he doesn't find him as much, and then Amare starts feeling down and neglected and pouts and so forth. It's not like we haven't seen it from him some already. From what I've seen of Amare's game, he's not very good at creating his own shot. He get shots by getting the ball after the offense has already broken down the defense and gotten his man out of position. Add in his poor defense, and until proven otherwise, I don't think you can design a system to make him look better than the one in Phoenix. Take him out of that system...and I think you've taken away so many of the things that made him an all-star. Well, back to my original post, I would much rather have Bosh. But I dont think that Amare would be THAT bad of a second option

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 1, 2010 -> 08:14 AM) Personally, I really don't like Amare's game, and I think it'll be especially noticeable if he has to leave Nash. Im sure Rose would find him on the floor if he came to the Bulls.

Shack was right, this is a good idea.

From the results I was reading, it looked like quite an exciting rumble. Was there a huge pop when Edge's music hit? IIRC Edge was on Smackdown when he blew out his achilles, no?

I would rather the Bulls make a play on Bosh in the offseason than make a play on Amare right now. I love Amare's game, but that knee worries me for the future, especially considering the commitment the Bulls would have to make to him.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 31, 2010 -> 11:18 PM) See, the thing is I don't know if she actually does want to pursue him. It's something I'm going to ask her about, probably on Wednesday at some point. She leaves town tomorrow at 3 PM and will get back at like 9 PM Tuesday night. What I am going to ask her are her true feelings about this guy and if she will truly commit to us. If I had a guess right now, I would say yes, but things are going well right now so there is a bias. And looking at the past 48 hours (from 11 PM Friday till 11 PM now), we've been with each other for 30 of those hours, and she would have had ample opportunities to hang out with said dude, but instead came to hang out with me. She did put the blame on me, and I have put the blame on myself. Maybe I'm trying to get water out of a dry well, but all I'd like to think I'm doing right now is putting myself in a position where if something like this comes up again, it would be impossible for the blame to fall on me, and I can counter otherwise. And I also don't believe you know exactly what you get into when you start dating someone...that's why I laugh when I see people getting engaged within the first year of dating. You don't see the real person until about 6 months into the relationship, as you get to know them and what you can and can't do, and that's the proving grounds. But yeah, it's been long enough that she should have said something a while ago about this and either had the stones to break up with me then or help me get on track. For starters, I do know the guy, and he's doing pretty well. Double major in Poli-Sci and English with intentions of going to law school. It's an 8,000 person school in a 11,000 person town...you have a general idea of who everyone is. I guess I don't exactly know what he does in his personal time, but he atleast talks a good game. I also think getting laid off would be a different scenario. In that case, I can start looking for new jobs and collect unemployment in the meantime. I'm not as worried about that. This I will do. To be fair, I'm glad she doesn't have this philosophy, because we would have been done long ago. If ever I felt I needed to break up with her, and she wanted to get back and give a relationship another chance, I'd give her one and that's it. And to be frank, she hasn't run back and forth between guys, as she's only been with me in the last 2 years or so. She has just had a crush, and that's the part I don't understand, and it's what I'm going to be asking her about on Wednesday. I'm basically going to go in there with two questions in mind - 'What are your true, true feelings about dude?' and 'Will you be 100% committed to this relationship?' I think I know the answer to the first question, and I don't think it will upset me. It's the last question that I want to know the answer to, because it's going to determine a lot about us. The other problem with that final paragraph is that I have stated that I want to remain good friends with her, but I'm slowly beginning to realize that if you get this deep into a relationship, and it splits up, it's hard to maintain the friendship aspect of it and it's almost impossible to in the short-term. Like I said, first true love and really my only true relationship, so I would only assume that once you officially and finally break up with someone, you have to hate them a little bit before you can even be friends with them again. ... Right now, it's going well, and it feels right. Whether that's because I want it to feel right for the convenience factor, or because it actually is, or some combination there in, or whatever, it feels right. I am going to have a good talk with her on Wednesday though. And thanks again for all the advice guys. Really appreciated. This should almost be its own thread at this point honestly, the idea of a relationship advice thread was thrown around because of this. at this point everyone has given you some suggestions based on a lot of personal experience, and ultimately it is all up to you how you handle it. I think the general point that everyone has made is that we dont want to see you hurt, because a lot of us have been in that place and it is horrible and sucks something awful. Just be strong and be careful(there is no way for you to be smart when your heart is involved )

Thanks ptatc, I knew he was blowing it out of proportion

I just hope she isnt leaning on you until she is ready for the other guy Blake. Some girls do that, and completely wreck the ex boyfriend. just be wary, thats all I can say
