QUOTE (G&T @ Feb 15, 2009 -> 08:43 AM) First of all, you are comparing the enforcement policies of a nation to this particular police department of which we know little about. Do you know the normal enforcement policies of this department or of South Carolina? Even ignoring that, the internet can be a jurisdictional landmine. Someone from Chicago can post a picture of himself smoking up god knows where. Jurisdiction exists where the criminal act occurred, not where the suspect resides. That makes these case very difficult, not to mention the possibility of fake pictures and photo shopping. So, no, I don't think it's selective enforcement because this is an obvious case where Phelps admitted to what was going on and it is clear whose jurisdiction applied. On top of that, you have that idiot trying to profit off the criminal activity. Honestly, what do you want them to do? The idiot trying to sell the bong totally deserves to be prosecuted, I cant imagine a dumber thing being done. And I completely agree that the internet is a jurisdictional landmine, which makes you wonder why the police dept wants to get up on their high horse because a celebrity is involved. Come on, there has to be someone at the university of S Carolina who has posted plenty of pics of himself/herself smoking up on the internet, and all the sudden this police department wants to get involved and hand out misdemeanor tickets to Phelps. Its just stupid. It isnt a case of trying to catch a dealer

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Feb 10, 2009 -> 01:28 AM) You've never heard of Polar Bear? Every year Pinch opens up the beer garden in the first weekend of February and sells nothing but Coronas. Cali's is a bar right down from Pinch. Its a relatively new thing. It wasnt around when I left in 2004

QUOTE (G&T @ Feb 14, 2009 -> 08:34 PM) Internet pictures are not as simple a prospect in police investigation as you make them out to be. For the most part, it is difficult to determine where the activity occurred, thus whose jurisdiction applies. If the police could easily know, they probably would go after everyone. . . especially in a state where first time possession is still criminal. Here, the police know where the use and possession took place and South Carolina has relatively steep anti-marijuana laws. On top of that, you had that idiot selling the bong on E-Bay. This type of crap is basically taunting the police. Fact is, you think the law sucks and you want the police to selectively enforce the law. Doesn't matter what few charges they end up with, it's their job to investigate. I take a fairly liberal view on marijuana, but I don't ridicule police for doing their job. BTW, if the taxpayers don't want their money wasted, tell them to change the law. This wouldn't happen in Massachusetts or California. Isnt that exactly what they are doing, selectively enforcing the law? Why dont they go ahead and go after every pothead that Facebook and Myspace have to offer?

The Sox win 92 games Josh Fields is traded by June Beckham has a cup of coffee in August Danks finishes the year in the top 3 in ERA Jenks gets 40 saves Konerko has a huge rebound year Dye disappoints and gets traded in July Quentin and Alexei both have years consistent with their 2008 numbers

QUOTE (G&T @ Feb 14, 2009 -> 07:45 PM) ...yeah...that's what I said...or even implied. I guess the police should do nothing to enforce laws. Grand idea. Or better yet, maybe the police should pick and choose which internet pothead picture they should go after, in order of perceived celebrity, what an even greater idea. I mean, if you see someone smoking in a picture, then they obviously can get you the name of a dealer who you can bring down, everyone will rat everyone out and all will be well in the world. This is a 15 seconds of fame by this police department, they are going to make a lot of grand statements and in the end someone is going to get busted for misdemeanor possession and thats it, POSSIBLY intent to distribute but very doubtful considering they have a picture of a guy pulling a bong, and not actual proof of possession or any actual marijuana as it is. In fact, the only thing they have is bong residue. Its a waste of taxpayer dollars in the name of fame.

QUOTE (G&T @ Feb 14, 2009 -> 11:14 AM) I doubt they'd be bothering if they didn't have a reliable lead. Im sure they have Pablo Escobar firmly in their sights now that the first domino has fallen

QUOTE (G&T @ Feb 14, 2009 -> 08:42 AM) The cops know they have a great chance to track down a dealer who could face serious charges. You can blame the sheriff or you can blame the law. Fact is, it's their job to investigate. Great chance? Come on, thats like saying if you arrest anyone who is smoking dope that you have a great chance of tracking down a dealer. It just isnt true, there are so many middle men and such that wont rat out the big guy, they are going to arrest some fratboy who is dealing small amounts and make him the fall guy for Michael Phelps smoking a bong. Its just ridiculous

I just got Deadly Creatures, its a pretty fun(and creepy) game. Billy Bob Thornton and Dennis Hopper narrating the game is just cool I also got Monster Lab last night as well. Its pretty fun, you create your own monster through 3 different methods (build one in the work shop, create one in the biolab, conjure one up in the alchemist lab) and mix and match body parts and zap them to life. Then you send your monster out into the world to battle other monsters terrorizing towns to collect more pieces to build better monsters. The monster battles are turn based and are pretty fun. I expected this to be a game strictly for my daughter, but we are both into it, its a fun game

i feel overrated now

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Feb 12, 2009 -> 12:07 PM) According to Rotoworld, the Wizards and Bulls were close to swapping Etan Thomas and Mike James for Larry Hughes ICK...thats crazy considering Larry Hughes was actaully pretty good on the Wizards a few years back - my how the mighty have fallen As in they are backing out now, or this is still in the works?

QUOTE (The Critic @ Feb 12, 2009 -> 12:49 PM) Selig is a hard-core muller. He is badass when he mulls. It's when he acts that he looks like an imbecile. But MULLING?....no one better. Completely agreed. He has been mulling Pete Rose for the better part of the last 14 years

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 12, 2009 -> 11:52 AM) fair enough, the market is/was saturated w/ corner OF. i guess i'm just really confused in general about how this offseason went down across the board. WHY was Dunn so undesirable? Abreu? All the bigger named guys who havent or JUST recently signed? i'm just amazed how we completely avoided upgrading the starting rotation and are accepting Owens in CF. I think most of these late signees were set on getting X amount of money this offseason, and when it wasnt coming, they all tried to play the "wait for the first domino to fall" game so they could get the contracts they desired. When the first domino never fell, they all have started scrambling for what they could get before the team wallets became empty

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 12, 2009 -> 11:34 AM) i disagree, there were plenty of options at one point or another - and options that were CHEAP. why DIDN'T we trade Dye? In my book, the best thing we could've done was trade him (plus whatever) for a starter and signed a CHEAP ASS Adam Dunn. You are assuming someone else would take on his contract when they could also explore the CHEAP ASS options on the free agent market

What happens at Wrigley(curses, goats, lack of playoff victories/world series appearances), Stays at Wrigley. Makes perfect sense to me

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Feb 12, 2009 -> 09:45 AM) maybe its positive spin coming from the bulls people... but from what the media has portrayed, the Lakers were never seriously considering moving Kobe. If thats true, than the only thing you can blame Pax for is not killing the speculation earlier -- because it obviously had an effect on this team early on in the year. Well, we could replace it with "Pau Gasol" or "Kevin Garnett", there have been too many no brainer trades that the Bulls didnt jump on in the past couple years. Any time a trade doesnt happen, GMs always insist it was just speculation, but where there is smoke, there is fire

QUOTE (heirdog @ Feb 12, 2009 -> 08:48 AM) The replacement for Dye is Viciedo but for whatever reason, if he doesn't pan out right away, then Fields will provide some of the power lost from Dye. Fields should be able to hit .270 with 35+ HRs regardless of strikeouts so while he is not JD now, he gives some of what JD would provide. Plus remember, the 2009 version of 2005 has CQ has Dye's replacement, which is not a downgrade. Owens is Pods and Anderson is Rowand. What's a joke? The fact that you think Grinder Rowand is wayyyyyyy better than Anderson?!? Let's look at the tools: Hitting for Avg: Rowand > Anderson Hitting for Power: Anderson >/= Rowand Fielding his position: Anderson > Rowand Arm Strength: Anderson > Rowand Baserunning: Anderson > Rowand (Speed may be equal but Rowand was atrocious on the basepaths, often running into outs, etc.) I have faith...just my opinion. What makes you think he can do that?

The guy who went in front of congress was disgusting, refusing to answer any questions like he did. Whats the point of calling anyone in front of congress anymore, nobody is going to answer to them like we want them to.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 12, 2009 -> 08:28 AM) The trade is the biggest no-brainer of all time. Nah, its the second biggest no brainer. Kobe was the first

QUOTE (4 points @ Feb 12, 2009 -> 12:44 AM) OK your crazy. your crazy what?

QUOTE (juddling @ Feb 12, 2009 -> 06:33 AM) maybe putting Christian on ECW is Vinnie's attempt to get more people to watch ECW. It's the only thing i can think of that would make any sort of sense to me. I agree, he probably promised Christian the world if he could bring the ratings up on ECW. Plus, there is no quicker way for a championship belt for Christian. He will probably win it, prance and preen for a few months, then crossover to SMackdown or RAW

Im curious as to what everyone thinks a trade between the Bulls and Suns will look like, realistically

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 11, 2009 -> 03:58 PM) Maybe witesox fan, but magglio sure hasn't been injured since departing the sox and most people would have bet he was through as well. I hope Fields is great, but right now he is a question mark. Yes he was, he sat out half of 2005 after hernia surgery. And last year he had various back and knee problems as well, he missed 16 games
