Which is worse, a celebrity who says something completely loony and stands by it, or a celebrity who says something completely loony then turns around because of the backlash and claims they were misquoted?

It was pretty interesting that 95-98 percent of students avoided stepping on the flags.

The thing about Cougar attacks is that you never see them coming. Cougars are stalkers, they prefer ambush attacks more than a chase, ambushes have a much higher success rate and cougars just arent built for long distance speed, which their primary prey are built for. If you SEE a cougar and feel it is dangerous, then yeah those are very helpful suggestions. however, most of the time people are attacked, they don't know what hit them until they are on the ground with a 150-200 lb Cougar digging its teeth into the back of their neck.

I think the strangest thing about this whole deal is the picture of the cougar meandering around with people walking literally feet away from him. And the lady who spotted him/her said it was sleeping next to her porch. So it obviously seemed at some sort of ease in its surroundings until it was killed. It just amazes me that the cougar could get that far into Chicago and it isnt seen until it is already there. Maybe we need cougars in the alleys to take care of the strays Here is the picture of the cougar walking around And there is also a story about a possibility of a second cougar in the area, they were looking for it today

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 16, 2008 -> 02:14 PM) Maybe because he is the only player in the league who can injure himself doing a stupid hop when catching the ball? or because the only thing he does well defensively is throw the ball. His reads and angles are atrocious, he is afraid of the wall, if he thinks it is past him he doesnt sprint all out for the ball. to think last year that the Cubs REALLY wanted him to play center is laughable

At the time it was the right decision, IMO. Frank wasnt healthy for 3 straight years, and it cost the Sox every year. Its great to see him succeed now, but the Sox counted on Frank to be healthy and he couldnt keep his foot in one piece.

Isaiah getting ready to exit stage left 2007-2007 23-58* 2006-2007 33-49 2005-2006 23-59 (Larry Brown coached, Isiah put together) *one more game to go strange that he isnt used to being at the bottom, since that is exactly where he has been the past 3 years. Thats how he left the Raptors, and The Pacers were floundering when he left.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Apr 16, 2008 -> 11:44 AM) Fair enough. The fact that the D-backs parted ways with him so quickly is a red flag, IMO, but I'm really interested to see how he'll do over the course of a full season. So far, I'm impressed. They didnt part with him so quickly. Quentin was untouchable in that organization for 3 years, the only reason he was available this year was because their outfield is now loaded. I agree that the injury problem with him is worrisome, but Quentin tore up the minor leagues until he had nothing left to prove. When Borchard was in the minors, he didnt have anywhere near the numbers Carlos did.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 09:42 PM) Ryan Braun makes Adam Dunn look like a Gold Glover out there There was quite a discussion on boers and bernstein about the NL Central having the worst collection of defensive left fielders in the history of the game. Cincinatti- Adam Dunn Houston- Carlos Lee Cubs- Alfonso Soriano Pittsburgh- Jason Bay Milwaukee- Ryan Braun St Louis- Chris Duncan Other than Jason Bay, those are all converted infielders who really have no idea what is going on. Funny how they all ended up in the NL Central

QUOTE (rangercal @ Apr 14, 2008 -> 01:57 PM) As a fan, I think an Age limit after the lottery would make most sense. At least they would not be preventing the Lebrons and Kobes from going pro. That would be chaos, there is no way the could quantify the Lebrons and Kobes. Some kids totally dominate high school and it doesnt translate to the pro game because they havent had quality competition (cough eddy curry cough).

QUOTE (the People's Champ @ Apr 14, 2008 -> 02:31 PM) I would hardly say we were a juggernaut. We were only 1 game up on Cleveland who had a pretty stacked team, and we were 3 games behind the Yankees. Yeah we were a good team, but I don't think in anyway it would have been a cake walk through the playoffs. I watched every game that year. They defined stacked. Cleveland may have been upstarts, but the Sox could flex their will at any time.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Apr 14, 2008 -> 11:37 AM) I think by basically forcing college on someone, is going against an individuals civil liberties as an adult. If you are old enough to lose your life in Iraq, you should be Old enough to play a simple sport (that is if you are good enough to get drafted.) College can wait for these guys. If they can get a guaranteed 6 figures, you sign and don't look back. Is the requirement 2 years in college? Or is it waiting 2 years after high school? I could see kids skipping school and going overseas to play

Does the NBA care about fundamentals though? And for that matter, will an extra year in college really teach better basketball fundamentals to a player? Some kids get it and work really hard at it and excel because of the work they put in, other kids are gifted athletes who play they want to play because they are that good. I like the fact that the NBA is encouraging kids to stay in college(for a little while at least), but I really dont think this changes the product on the floor all that much.

QUOTE (Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 13, 2008 -> 04:05 PM) With all of the extra innings games the Cubs have played this week, its like they have played a whole extra game without it counting. right now it is more than an extra game. 15 innings in the first game against pit, 13 innings in the second game, now they are in extras against the phils.

QUOTE (the People's Champ @ Apr 13, 2008 -> 04:01 PM) Oh well back to back goose eggs for the team that's "going to score 1000 runs" is almost as good as a sweep! How about that? Almost as good as winning 5 out of 6 from the team that won the World Series in the offseason

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 13, 2008 -> 03:53 PM) picked up this nugget at the ever entertaining motowntigers.com Red Wings scored 43 goals in their first twelve games of the season. Tigers have scored 33 runs in their first twelve. Im sure there are a few gem quotes
