QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) Not originally. Mercy's initial post only put Julie in the icon category, and not in the team clubhouse. Which is the same designation I would have given. But I'm not on the team, despite owning the anniversary TOSM set. I own Bette Midler albums as well. . . I think the interpretation can go either way

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 12:48 PM) Icon.. I have no clue.. playing for the team is the question..?? I can understand Icon. But Andrews was clearly portrayed as a lesbian, and I just think that is something that certainly can not be proven.

I can accept if she were gay, its not a big deal. i just dont like when people in the public eye are labeled as being gay just because they dont have an obvious spouse, or because of their appearance, or just because the gay community appreciates their work. See Hilary Clinton, Oprah, Diane Keaton. And I especially dont like when someone says "You may not think So and So is gay, but trust me she is. I know." I had a health class elective in my sophomore year of college, and a few members of the Gay, Lesbian and Bi club came to speak to us. It became a popularity contest based on who was gay and who wasnt, these people were actively trying to "recruit" people by listing off as many stars as they could in which there was doubt concerning their sexuality. It really bothered me. I guess Mercy's opening statement struck me in the same way.

Good trade for Padres and Cameron, should this be true. the padres have been looking for an OF that can cover all of that ground in that park, and Cameron is definitely that type of player. Cameron didnt need to be playing in RF at Shea, he is a true CF.

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 01:40 AM) This is a certified ghey-only thread. Please, no lame wannabes or other trouble makers comin’ around talkin’ smack. You say you didn’t know Ms Julie is a lesbian and gay icon? Then clearly you’ve breached the ghey-only perimeter fence on false pretenses. But speaking from the distaff side, I can swear she is. And it’s a little bit more than a Bea Arthur kind of thing, if you catch my drift, girlfriends. So my hat’s off to you, Mr. Mayor. Blake Edwards is a cover? Didnt know that.

I think there should be a "drowning in the gene pool" sticky post in which we can post all of these "Dumbest person ever" stories. Maybe towards the end of the year we can have a bracket in which the dumbest people go up against each other until we can figure out the dumbest person of the year. Hell, i will put that bracket together myself, that sounds like fun.

If it is heavily backloaded, i dont see the Sox making a deal unless the Marlins pick up some of that contract. I am confident KW will do the right thing here.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 11:27 AM) Ok, here goes. went the when it first opened when I was in Jr High I believe. Had my mom drop me off. The bouncer made me take off my Green Addidas shirt because it was gang colors. Finally get into the "club" They claim to have a pizza buffet, not good. Then in the middle of the night, they stop the white trash shin dig, lower a fake alien in a casket down from the ceiling, tell a story about aliens, then roll him back up and continue the ghetto fest. Never went back. LMAO Sounds like Club Palindrome in Palatine/Schaumburg. I dont know if that place is still open, but when i was in high school it was the same thing minus the lame Alien show.

ESPN sent an apology to a wrestling fansite, www.pro-wrestling.com "While some comments attributed to Colin Cowherd were taken out of context and are innacurate, we do apologize for a statement implying that Eddie Guerrero's death was steroid-related." ESPN couldnt even completely apologize

I still think its funny that the guys from Green Day are considered bigots because they named their album/DVD "Bullet in a Bible". You would think that it they preached hating Christianity throughout the length of the disc with the way this thread unfolded.

QUOTE(TLAK @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 07:42 PM) Was this the rant about how the post season pregames would be handled, using the network pregame instead of the Sox one? IIRC Levine was on from 6 in the morning with Jerk and Jerk in the morning to about 2 AM with Dolgin several times that week. He was on about once an hour all day with the local guys and also covered all the games. He was making less and less sense as the evenings wore on, During the 'rant' I remember him quietly saying 'well that sucks' as if he forgot he was on the radio. I think he was just worn out. The limit of Bruce Levine has been identified. Yeah that was it. And he kept saying that the timing of the programming would be really unprofessional. I believe this was because there was a chicago pre-game show, which we all have listened to, and then there is a national pre-game show which Morgan and Miller host. The Chicago pregame show wasnt going to lead into the game like it normally did, it was going to lead into the national pregame show, and Bruce was really irked about it. Dolgin held his own and was clearly trying to steer the subject away, but Bruce kept pushing it and was blaming Dolgin for it. I dont remember what led up to the end, but Bruce threatened to hang up his phone, and Dolgin told him "See ya". Click. Dolgin moves on like nothing happened. It was hilarious.

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 05:59 PM) It's a damn shame to see so many wrestlers die at a young age. you will get no argument out of me about that.

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 04:47 PM) HUGE, HUGE difference between baseball and wrestling. Baseball players are athletes, and wrestlers are entertainers. Even the guys who were pure muscle when they started in WWE, like Kurt Angle, are on the juice now. As for proof? I can't give you their blood test, but people talk outside of the ring. Name me one wrestler in the WWE right now that you don't think is on roids? You did it for me. Christain. Rey Mysterio. Sean Michaels. Spike Dudley. The Rock. Prove to me that they are all roided. Because they have muscle and are cut, they must be on roids? Give me a break. These guys get paid to work out all week and put on a show for maybe 30 minutes a week.

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) Are you disagreeing with me? absolutely. Its like saying every baseball player is on roids because some were caught with roids. You want to change my mind, give me proof instead of accusations.

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 04:39 PM) EVERY major wrestler is on steroids. Even the tiny guys, like Christian, are on the juice. :headshake

So this is something that can only be tested within 36 hours of the HGH being taken. Is HGH a drug that is used strictly for building body mass, or is it also a drug that is used for energy bursts? If a runner was attempting to build stamina, and used HGH in his training and built up his stamina, would it be necassary for the runner to continue taking HGH to maintain that stamina through his races? there is so much I dont know about steroids, im not trying to be argumentative as much as I am trying to get information to form my own opinions.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) Not good enough... he should suffer as much as it's thought she suffered.. revived.. then repeated. no arguments here. I am starting to think that the people responsible for paroling these repeat offenders need to start getting punished also. I am sure they would take their jobs a hell of alot more seriously if they were punished for letting some whacko out who went and repeated his crime.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) He was in a jail holding cell... And if common sense didn't kick in.. signs plain as day stating that visits were being monitored and recorded are all over the place. fair enough. Now moving on to finding the deepest hole.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 03:33 PM) I'm not saying his concerns are stupid, his statement was - IMO, of course. ^^^

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) Defense attorney Adam Tebrugge objected to the recordings on constitutional grounds, saying Smith had not been advised of his rights and that Smith's brother was, in effect, acting as an agent of law enforcement. His objections were overruled. On what grounds were they overruled? I think this guy needs to be buried in the deepest hole and forgotten, but he should get a fair trial. I didnt think it was legal to use recorded confessions if the confessor was not aware he/she was being recorded.

i was under the impression that it couldnt be tested because it is a naturally occuring hormone in people

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 02:26 PM) Haha, Bruce Levine is backing off this trade rumor faster than you can imagine. He is now saying that the Cubs and the Marlins haven't talked about Juan Pierre in the past 3 days and that no trade is imminent. :rolly You know who perpetuates these rumors worse than Bruce Levine? Michael Olgolnik(I think thats his last name, he seems to mesh all of the syllables together when he says his name). When he does his updates, that guy is ordering rounds of Cubby koolaid. Every morning for the past 3 days, the O-G has been saying its not a matter of if, its a matter of when this trade is done. Over the summer he got alot of comeuppance on his radio show, he kept trashing the sox and celebrating the Cubs and callers were just KILLING HIM. He even went as far as to tell Jeff Dickerson(who I feel is the up-and-comer of ESPN1000) that if he had to choose any pitcher for a game 7 in the world series, he would choose Mark Prior. I like Mark Prior, the guy has great stuff, but there are so many more money pitchers that I would put out there before Prior. In fact, I would probably put Zambrano out there before Prior. And if I had my choice of any pitcher, it certainly wouldnt be on the cubs.

QUOTE(Beastly @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 11:31 PM) No big loss, he wasn't THAT good anyway. off the subject, The picture in your sig doesnt look like Joe Crede at all to me. On the subject, he may not have been THAT good, but it is just another guy that the Sox are going to have to replace on the radio broadcast next year. Continuity is very important in radio sports broadcasts if you ask me. People need to work with each other a while to get to know their ins and outs. Like Farmer and Rooney finishing sentences and doing the same ad together. I heard Bruce Levines rant, and the worst thing about it was that Dolgin kept saying "Bruce, do you want to talk about this off-air?" and Bruce just kept going on and on. I cheered in my car when Dolgin said "See ya" when Bruce hung up his phone.
