QUOTE (Kid Gleason @ Dec 28, 2008 -> 03:02 PM) Is it true he goes back to his glory days and sounds like a mix of Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets??? Metallica jokes with me fall on deaf ears. I have been done with them since I was forced to sit through the billions of hillbilly requests on saturday nights(Yay metallica meltdown at 10 PM!) for the same songs because they had SO MUCH MEANING for a guy who was sitting in his car at the end of the deadend street with his buddies drinking beer........every weekend. And if you think that story was just made up, it wasnt. Plus the Napster uprising by Lars just left a bad taste in my mouth. they can make music that everyone refers to as the best metallica music ever and I wont be interested in it one bit. I turn the radio off when I hear their stuff come on anymore, its really that bad now

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Dec 28, 2008 -> 02:01 PM) Funny, I just got done reading an interview with him in Esquire mag where he mentions that he's been keeping a low prof. Apparently when his buddy was gunned down a few years ago (Proof, I think), it hit him extremely hard. The album is supposed to drop in the next couple of months(it was supposed to be December 08 but got pushed back) I am pretty sure you can hear a single off of it already online

Don't Talk At Movies
QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Dec 28, 2008 -> 01:57 PM) There are two sides to every story. I bet ( and hope ) that the guy probably asked them nicely and they were probably jerks about it. That doesn't justify shooting someone, but like you said, I can understand the rage. Two examples: I was at a Tom Petty concert once, in pavillion seats and of course everyone is standing. The girl in front of us decides to stand on her chair, blocking our view. I politely ask her to step down because we couldn't see the stage. Her BF looks back at me and says " she's not getting down". As you can imagine, it didn't end well.Back in Chicago, I was driving around looking for a parking space once, when I notice a guy sitting in his car, double parked next to an empty parking space. I pulled up next to him and asked him if was gonna park there, he said no that he was just waiting for someone. So I asked him if he could move back a little so I could park in the empty space. His reply was simply "Nope" and he rolled his window up. Again, another bad ending. Sorry, but people ask for it sometimes. Hopefully the ending wasnt as bad for you as it was the other two guys

Week 17 Madness
Well this is it for the Bears and the Vikings, the end-all be-all. Win or go home for the Vikings, Win or go home for the Bears. Of course there are a few wildcard possibilities for both teams, but the best thing to do is to WIN first then let the cards fall where they may. Even without Mike Brown, I think the Bears come out firing on all cylinders today, defensively and offensively. Bears win 20-16 The Giants will not go with the 2nd string team today, but Jacobs will rest for the playoffs. Giants win in a squeaker, 24-21 Any updates throughout the game would be much appreciated, I am at work today and i am forced to "watch" the game through gamecast

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 28, 2008 -> 06:59 AM) Hopefully this is where SIU can start to turn around the season. I'm not holding my breath though. BTW, did you see that Champ and Osiris are already talking undefeated season? Ridiculous. I just want to see strides towards the end of the season, and I will be happy. To expect them to come out and take the league as a freshman heavy squad is really expecting too much, although I think its possible to compete for the title. This is probably Creightons for the taking, IlSt will be at the top, and down the line its a free for all

Rangers may go to a 4 man rotation
QUOTE (BearSox @ Dec 24, 2008 -> 02:18 PM) Yeah, it's not something you can do right away, but with proper conditioning and plain old not getting babied throughout your career, it should be easily done. I don't know what I was thinking though, the modern pitcher would never be able to handle this. Now you have restrictions on every level how much someone can pitch. As for Kerry Wood, his injury was inevitable. It's complete bull to suggest that he could ever had pitched with them. The only way that would be possible for Wood is if he threw 50 innings a year only. Did his workload in HS accelerate the issue? Probably, but it didn't cause it. I love when you think your opinion trumps the years of schooling and the actual hours in the profession that ptatc has done. truly amusing reading

Rangers may go to a 4 man rotation
QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 12:02 PM) Ex-Dodger Mike Marshall has a web-site where he discusses the biomechanical problems of the pitching delivery. He has a theory that pitchers should change their delivery to reduce stress on the arm. It's pretty interesting. http://www.drmikemarshall.com/BaseballPitc...ionalVideo.html I don't think the 4-man rotation would work for an entire season because of the way pitchers are handled, but I do think there are points in the season where the fifth starter (or anyone who's struggling) could be skipped becasue of rainouts or some kind of scheduling quirk that would allow the 4 top guys to pitch on normal rest. You could probably get 3 or 4 more starts out of your top 4 guys and reduce the work load of the fifth starter just by periodically going to the 4-man rotation. Isnt this Tom House' sworn enemy? I think I remember this guys name from some tiff that him and House had over Prior's mechanics while with the Cubs

Iraqi "journalist" throws shoes at Bush
QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 10:26 AM) Basically it doesn't seem to rise to the level of assault in my estimation. I can't think of anyone doing hard time for throwing a shoe. From what I read, the charges all stemmed from insulting, and that just seems wrong to give someone two years for what is tantamount to flipping him off. Say Bush didnt have those catlike reflexes and took the shoe to the forehead and Bush somehow got stitches, would you be playing your neverending devils advocate game then? "This is no big deal, it was only a shoe. It is tantamount to throwing a shirt at him, whats the big deal?" The fact is that the guy threw a shoe at the president in the middle of a press conference, probably with the intention of hitting him and completely embarrassing him in front of the Iraqi nation. Our laws and consequences dont matter, because he isnt being tried by the US. Insult, Assault, it doesnt matter, he is being tried by his own peers

QUOTE (lostfan @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 07:42 AM) He's not as bad as Madden. I facepalmed when they showed the "would the Packers be in the playoffs question without Favre"? question. Something like 60% of the country said yes. Really? So you downgrade to a less productive QB who throws more interceptions and that gets you in the playoffs? I guess Favre plays defense too. Rodgers is the answer for that team, plain and simple. IMO they did absolutely the right thing by finally calling Favre on his drama queen act. The last two weeks he has been equally as bad if not worse

Hester has an entire highlight reel of fingertip drops this season. Admittedly some of the balls are pretty difficult to catch, like the one tonite, but it just seems like he has a lot of drops that regular wide recievers make.
