QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 3, 2008 -> 04:12 PM) What happens if Shaq retires say at the end of this season, in terms of does that team still have to pay him, but does it still count against the cap? Isnt PJ Brown still getting paid on his expiring contract that is still tradeable? In terms of it counting against the cap, i dont know if there is an exemption for retired players

Santana Traded to the Mets
QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 3, 2008 -> 12:12 PM) He passed the physical, so yes, he's a Met. So then the title of the thread should be "Santana traded to the Mets" edit: Now that the thread title is changed, i can officially rejoice that the Sox will not be gauranteed to be completely owned at least once per series vs the Twins. Hooray!

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 3, 2008 -> 12:07 PM) I was listening online and sounded like the refs were a tad bad, but SIU still had their chances. When Shaw wants to start playing like a man, outside the Creighton game, I would welcome it. Agreed. I dont understand it, but it seems like teams with the Weber philosophy never can shoot free throws.

Santana Traded to the Mets
Is Santana still "reportedly" traded, or is it now confirmed and signed?

QUOTE(shipps @ Feb 3, 2008 -> 10:15 AM) That is not a show to call into with outlandish suggestions.You better be educated,precise and have a well thought out statement for their show or they will let you know how much of an ass you are.Kind of like Soxtalk . I completely agree. If you are going to call that show to argue or make a remark, you better be ready for them or else they will come at you from an angle you never expected

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Feb 1, 2008 -> 10:41 PM) Anybody want Shaq? Come on, please. Ok fine, maybe you will take Pat Riley? No? Some guy/kid calls the Score every day and states his case that the Bulls need to trade Wallace-Hinrich-Gordon-Deng for Shaq. Last time he called Boers and Bernstein they laughed him off the air

MMA Thread
QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 3, 2008 -> 09:01 AM) To be fair to Lesnar, he had Mir in some trouble, and he was landing a bunch of shots while Mir was not really "intelligently defending himself". I've seen fights stopped before in a similar situation. That was a hell of a countermove by Mir to get the kneebar. From what I read on Foxsports, Lesnar screwed himself over when he had Mir down because he landed a punch to the back of Mir's head, which stopped the fight and allowed Mir to gather himself. Still though, I expected Lesnar to do better

Shots fired in Harlem-Irving Plaza mall in Tinley Park
QUOTE(iamshack @ Feb 3, 2008 -> 12:40 AM) Apparently this guy may have entered the Target after the shooting incident, in search of a change of clothes. Pretty scary to think that we were so close to being there at the same time.... That is really spooky. My best friends Uncle lives in the DC area and he was at one of the gas stations that the DC Sniper targeted, and he was there less than a half and hour before someone was killed there. He said the whole thing was surreal, nobody wanted to get gas anymore

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 31, 2008 -> 11:00 AM) I forgot how awesome "Rounders" is. I think it would have been better if they just left the love interest out of the movie. She really wasnt established as anything and then she was gone from his life, and it didnt make a difference at all in Matt Damons character. They should have left it out and focused on his father-son relationship with his professor and his relationship with ENJr. I love Malkovich in anything he does, and he was great as the oreo popping russian

Dog Suggestions?
QUOTE(vandy125 @ Jan 31, 2008 -> 10:52 AM) I should mention that I would not go with a Pet Store to get a dog from. Based upon what I have seen, those dogs can be coming from anywhere including dog farms. If you are going with a purebred, take the time to find a good breeder. If you think a mutt would be good (and they usually are), go to local rescue place. Most major pet stores have abandoned selling their own dogs and now work hand in hand with adoption centers. If you are going to a small business pet store you are most likely going to get a puppy mill dog for cheap or a breeders dog for too much. I got my dog from a breeder in Southern Illinois, I consider that action saving my dog from an early death. The livign conditions for him and his brothers and sisters were absolutely hideous

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 31, 2008 -> 10:13 AM) Wasn't The Green Mile his also? Plus didn't he write all of the episodes of The Golden Years? yep, the Green Mile is definitely SK, as well as The Golden Years, Stand by Me, Hearts in Atlantis, Apt Pupil. I guess you can consider Thinner out of his genre, since it really isnt horror as much as sci-fi fantasy

QUOTE(shipps @ Jan 31, 2008 -> 09:55 AM) I watched Shawshank Redemption for the 181st time a couple days ago and it was the first time I realised it was based on a Stephen King novel.I was shocked,this story is a totally diffrent genre than anything else I have ever read of his.Does he have any other books written in this category? Not really. Its a novella too, it wasnt all that long. King has a few books that are considered out of his genre, the most prominent being the Dark Tower series, which is science fiction/fantasy.

American Idol - Season 7
QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Jan 31, 2008 -> 08:17 AM) I know AI is trying to be nicer this year, but the auditions are just not the same without the idiot parade. I really don't care too much about people's back stories in the auditions. Give me the morons. The morons usually are paraded forth when the audition part of the show is over and they get to hollywood. Right before all the real tryouts in hollywood AI usually runs a wrap-up show that gives you all of the morons and idiots you can handle

Oh, that Britney's shameless...
QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 31, 2008 -> 08:25 AM) Well, I guess that's one way to waste a s***load of the taxpayers money. That's just pathetic. Twice in a month as well, so that is double the taxpayers money. On the other hand, it is double the attention that Britney is getting, yay! edit: holy crap, wasted taxpayer resources
