QUOTE(Brian @ Oct 30, 2007 -> 09:11 PM) Do these kids on Madden Nation know how stupid they look when they yell at each other when playing the game? I think the idea of a reality show following around kids playing a football video game is stupid enough, let alone the players yelling at each other

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 31, 2007 -> 12:04 AM) From www.whysoserious.com: It's a treasure hunt. There's like 20 more for other major cities in the U.S. This Just in: Streamwood area man arrested this morning trying to gain access to a building on Wabash. When Police approached him, he kept repeating "Why so serious?". The Police tazered and pepper gassed the man mercilessly and brought him to the Cook County Jail, where he awaits his arraignment.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Oct 30, 2007 -> 06:21 PM) Looks like Booker T and Scott Hall are at the Impact TV taping tonight! Hall doesnt surprise me, but I didnt think Booker would cross over to TNA. I figured he would be diving headfirst into his own promotion until he was ready to come back to WWE much like Jericho. Guess i was wrong

i wish there were more ventriloquists, I love watching this guy whenever I get the chance

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Oct 30, 2007 -> 03:36 PM) We're still waiting for the NCAA's decision on how they will come down on IU. This isn't going under the rug, nor should it. How does the IU faithful think this is gonna turn out? Do you think that Sampson might get off easy because of the assistant resigning(ie. taking the bullet)?

Has the NCAA said anything regarding these infractions yet? Or is Indiana trying to stem the tide before the crap hits the fan? I just wonder why Sampson is able to repeatedly skate on these infractions if he keeps getting busted for the same thing over and over? FWIW, Im looking at this as an outsider. I havent read into it too much, but it has gotten so much airplay recently that i am starting to become curious about what is really going on here.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Oct 30, 2007 -> 12:21 PM) Well my opinion Rex still has more potential than any Bears QB on the roster, and I think that if we keep giving Griese starts we are going to keep seeing the same thing. At least Rex had arm strength, at least Orton is young, I just dont see what Griese brings to the table. Its not so much I think Rex is good, I just think that Griese is bad. And clearly the Bears arent giving Orton a shot, so might as well advocate a change that might happen. Rex just seems to have forgotten how to throw underneath the coverage. When he wants to go deep, he does it. No throwing it away, no checkdowns, he is going deep (hence my sig ) no matter what Griese still can dink and dunk a team up the field if necessary, and can occasionally hit a deep pass. He was truly awful in and around the endzone on Sunday, and I cannot imagine Smith letting him get many more starts if that continues though. Im jsut curious if they will turn it back over to Grossman, or if they will just say F*** it and hand the reigns to Orton.

Is RAW heading to canada soon? They may wait to bring Jericho in until they head north of the border to generate a bigger pop.

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 29, 2007 -> 10:02 PM) Wow, what an absolutely horrible episode of Raw. You arent kidding. They dropped the ball every way possible. They didnt even play up halloween and it is two days away

just another video? i hope jericho shows up

QUOTE(Brian @ Oct 29, 2007 -> 08:23 PM) If not, I riot! Victoria as Yokozuna tonight was awesome! It was one of the more entertaining womens matches i have seen in a while. Victoria was the best, she had a lot of fun with it.

is tonite the night that we hear a familiar ringing..... RAW is JERICHO

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Oct 29, 2007 -> 12:29 PM) That is the best photoshop I may have ever seen in my life. Random thoughts: Solid ppv last night - nothing earthshaking happened (read: no title changes, no jericho) - but it was good. I liked Orton v Michaels - despite the dq ending. Taker/Batista started slow but built up as it went along and Taker put Dave over clean - liked that. Triple H/Umaga was good at the beginning. got slow in the middle and then picked up. Only problem is the finish - couldn't Hunter put the monster over - to continue the feud? Guess not. Loved the Punk/Miz match surprisingly - wonder if it wasn't all planned out beforehand, as they seemed to be trying new moves and such. Good. What was the point of the whole JBL thing - are they building to his ring return? They have been doing this for a while with JBL. I think they are trying to make sure he stays in the public eye enough to make some matches here and there, maybe do some special guest refereeing(is that a word?) much in the same way that Mick Foley and Steve Austin do, and even Lawler. When JBL went out, he was in horrible shape and if i am not mistaken he was having some serious back problems. Unless he sheds some pounds, i cant see him staying in the ring for any length of time.

This Giants Dolphins game better be off right now.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 28, 2007 -> 09:29 AM) Sounds like classic OCD. Ginger had an issue with an area on her rear quarter that she eventually grew out of (took almost 2 years). Putting her on doggie prozac helped for a while but she was not the same dog on it so we just dealt with it until she grew bored with trying to gnaw her own leg off. There are some sprays that will make the area taste icky. Pet MD has a decent selection of "stop biting" aids. the strange thing is that she doesnt chew, she just licks it. The vet said the problem with it is that underneath the wound is a layer of infection that wont clear unless the dog stops chewing/licking. I guess I have been trying to avoid the anti-biting aids for a while because I havent heard many good things about them. I assume you are referring to the stuff like the sour apple spray and gel.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Oct 27, 2007 -> 10:17 PM) The Tigers completely blew that one. The Cardinals had the lowest winning percentage of a World Series winner ever. The Twins in 1987 had 85 wins. They also had the lowest winning percentage of a World Series participant since the Mets in 1973 (82 wins). That is how rare that is. i guess i don't really understand what you want from the playoffs then. why is it a flawed system if the perceived best team in the playoffs doesn't win? everyone has an equal shot to win, we all know the "Once the playoffs start, anything can happen" mantra. I appreciate the fact that a team with a record that isn't as good as everyone else has a shot to win it all. the Mets failed down the stretch big time and they wouldn't have fared much better with their pitching vs the Red Sox hitting. The Phillies got handled by the Diamondbacks, who then got handled by a team that had a streak as good as the White Sox in 2005 heading into the World Series. I agree, this world series is boring and is hard to watch, but I don't think a flawed playoff system is necessarily to blame.

Dont ask me where I got the cover for this french vogue magazine( ), but is the name featured predominantly on this cover the same Bruce Weber that we know as the head coach of the Illini?

Has anyone here had a problem with a dog chewing on a leg as a nervous habit? My lab has not been able to leave her leg alone to let it heal and there is a ugly raw sore on her back leg. I have taken her to multiple vets who have told me that it is a nervous condition and that we really cannot do anything because she wont leave it alone. At one point it had completely healed up because she was on medecine(a steroid)for an ear infection and a side effect was that the leg healed rather quickly, but about 8 months later she became stressed out about something and started bothering it again and it came right back. Any ideas?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 28, 2007 -> 08:36 AM) My mom will keep opening cans until her cats like one. I think my mom believes the cats will starve themselves to death if she doesn't have the perfect canned meat. uggh, my mom is the same way with her cat. She has 4 different kinds of dry food that she rotates(Royal Canin, innova, Nutro, NB) and has all kinds of canned cat food in the pantry. Her cat is spoiled to the T. my dogs eat one food. Once a day. And thats it. And my vet says they are perfectly healthy(as a horse, as a matter of fact )

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 28, 2007 -> 08:32 AM) Incorrect. But by "reciever" aren't they referring to the item that is inside the house? yep, the reciever is the box on the tv. If that lady is telling the truth, the analyst asked her if she thought to go in her house and save her reciever, and go out back and dismantle her satellite and save that too. I mean, when your house is going to burn to the ground with nothing to stop it, isnt that what you would grab? edit: I just listened to the clip again, she kind of mumbles so i cant tell if she said she needed to grab the reciever AND the satellite or the reciever FOR the satellite. either way, it doesnt surprise me. there are always idiots at call centers. i talk to people I work with every day who are idiots

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Oct 27, 2007 -> 10:29 PM) Especially since there are no satellite dishes with a cable company! I still stand my ground that this is not a topic for the news. This is a simple customer service issue and might have already been resolved at AT&T for all we know. No reason to take a shot at a whole corporation for what some dumbass CSR supposedly said. Note they were taking the word of a distressed homeowner in a crisis. Their interpretation of the conversation may have been different than what happened or was intended. How many people do you know that completely freak out in stressful situations and end up overexaggerating everything? Not saying this is the case or the CSR didn't make a mistake. But to try and publicly fry a company without all the facts is poor journalism. Did they try and ask AT&T what their side was? Were there other reports of the same kind of treatment? No one knows. Today's media and the internet trains people today to overreact and to act without all the facts. It seems to have been built into our culture, but that doesn't make it right. Actually, thats wrong http://www.att.com/gen/landing-pages?pid=3308 Click on the Digital TV tab, and right underneath it is this description "Get the Ultimate Digital Satellite entertainment- movies, music, sports and more with your choice of wireless home networking."

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 27, 2007 -> 10:34 PM) Iams is no good. They have had a couple of bad testing policies and dogs have gotten ill. My own dog hated the stuff. He is weird, he only like Beneful. Both of the ones you are talking about are good. One of the downers with Iams was how much corn they used in the product. More corn=dogs eat more=more waste and have to buy more Iams sooner. basically the heirarchy of dog food looked something like this Innova/Holistic Dog foods/ Vet Dog foods/Royal Canin Natural balance/Nutro Science Diet eukanuba(too much protein, strange side effects) Iams(too much corn) BilJac Purina Pedigree everything else. Everything with a shape, gimmick(gravy), etc is no good
