http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...ht&lid=tab1pos1 Why does Scoop Jackson think that Joey Porter is this unknown come out of nowhere tackling machine that doesnt get any recognition? Not to mention that Joey Porter has been talking s*** since before the Steelers played the Bears, but Porter has been regarded as one of the best blitzing linebackers in the league for a couple years now, Porter gets plenty of recognition for what he does. I love Scoop saying he discovered Porter last year, like he was following the "cool" band before they hit it big.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Feb 4, 2006 -> 10:19 AM) Yep, the crowd is really lame. Actually, that has been my problem with any MLB game for a while now. Dammit, when I hit a game winning homerun, I want the game to be as excited as me! I dont want to see the same 4 people repeated standing up and down. I am also looking forward to some new announcers hopefully.

I only have one "beef" with MLB MVP 2005, and that is the crowd just looks like cardboard cutouts. 2K6 looks like they kept pretty much everything from MVP and added a crowd, lol.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 4, 2006 -> 04:54 AM) As usual you are wrong. But I'm not surprised since your capacity to reason in science seems limited to Biology. Any good student of science knows that which is unexplainable in Biology falls to the realm of Physics. Why? Because Biology is for the more part void of mathematical reasoning to explain that which it can not test. We have covered this topic before & I have provided you the links on prevailing theories relating to quantum physics & how they gravitate to a Divine Agent explanation. Let me try to summarize it again: Yep, this "discussion" is over.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 10:53 PM) I still dont understand salary caps in the nba how the f*** can they go so much over the cap? :headshake No s***, I dont understand how Thomas can continue to take on all these insane contracts and still pay people.

I think Adam Morrison is going to be more of a Korver type in the NBA. Pretty much a sharpshooter who cannot create too much if anything for himself, but if you give them daylight, its in. They say Morrison is an old school baller, I havent seen too much of him, but maybe he has a few more tricks up his sleeve when he gets to the NBA. I dont think he would be a wasted pick, but I dont know how high I would pick him.

The Oprah show with Dave Chappelle is on in about 10 minutes on channel 7(11:06 PM) for those who want to watch it

LOL, the tabloids have been WAY more right than wrong in the past couple years. My wife is a tabloid freak, so they are good bathroom material(lol). They had Angelina Jolie pegged as pregnant back in October, and they have been talking about Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong since November.

That last clip seems to me his honesty about the whole situation coming out. Especially when he says "It was the first time I ever got a laugh I was uncomfortable with." We all needed a break from Chappelle as much as he needed a break from us. When he comes back full force, I think he is gonna blow us away. I still love his humor, and I am glad every other guy in the bar isnt going to be saying "What?", Or "OK!" every 15 seconds.

whoops, shoulda looked here before I posted the trade thread. Sorry.

LOL, I am sure Michael Axelrod is thrilled that BOTH Davis' will be in town more often now.

I wonder if thats what the author was thinking when he made his projected lineup.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 04:46 PM) What is straight, bi, & gay? Straight : Males that are atttractive to persons looking like attractive females. They like tits, ass, & pussy. Females that are attractive to persons looking like attractive males. They are attracted to broad chest & shoulders, nice buns, & cocks. Bi: a hybrid of a straight male & female. Gay: A female who ACTS like a straight male & a male who ACTS like a straight female. The point? It's the characterisitcs & NOT the gender that a person is attracted too. That's why there is no such thing as sexual orientation. Best example tranny's. See next post. Do you know how funny this is coming one page after you just posted "Everything isnt Black and White"? Thats painting with a pretty broad brush.

Just curious, but where did Thome spend most of his time in the lineup when he was with the Indians?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 04:51 PM) Or just give me a call, and come over. LOL, we know you like em young.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 03:36 PM) With respect to Vazquez it's his rise back to 17 dominant wins that probably has Cooper going gaga over him. How many pitchers in 2005 had a 70% increase in dominant wins? Yeah, right on man. Whats a dominant win?

My wife said he seemed like he was on something the entire show(not surprising) and he didnt really answer any questions either. Im going to watch the replay tonite at 10:30

"This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time," spokeswoman Cece Yorke said. According to court papers obtained by celebrity news Web site www.TMZ.Com, Locklear is seeking a divorce based on irreconcilable differences. Locklear, 44, and Sambora, 46, have an 8-year-old daughter, Ava. Locklear was previously married to another rock star, Tommy Lee. Their seven-year marriage ended in 1993. News of the split was first reported by People Magazine on its Web site.

QUOTE(Spiff @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 12:07 PM) I love this "what if they had hurt someone?" crap. If they hurt someone then they would be convicted of that crime, just like any other situation ever. But they didn't, and you can't hang them for what might have happened. You deal with what did happen. Yes, alcohol can get people killed, so can alot of things. Too much cough medicine can get people killed. And to the guy who said child porn is a victimless crime, uh where the hell do you get that? Seems like there are victims to me. The drinking age is 21 because when Nancy Dole was secretary of transportation she wouldn't give the states funding for highways unless they went along with her. That's IT. It's f***ing stupid, and people who defend it have no f***ing clue. sad. There is no arguing this anymore, you dont get it.

QUOTE(Spiff @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 03:54 AM) Yeah, well they didn't hurt anyone. You don't punish people for crimes they could possibly commit. As it was they didn't hurt anyone. Victimless crime; and if you want to relate it to "yourself", how would you like it if you were drinking underage, didn't hurt anyone, and you still got 2 weeks in jail? They didnt drink one time and get caught, they got caught twice, and they shoved it in the law's face. I love how you like to point out that it is a victimless crime BECAUSE someone didnt get hurt, but you refuse to admit that alcohol COULD get these kids killed. What would have happened if these kids would have gotten through prom without getting caught, went to a post prom party at one of their houses, partied some more, and then drove home and plowed into a tree? Wouldnt be so victimless then, would it? You cant even begin to determine what these cops prevented, because you are so hell bent on trying to prove that these cops and the judge were somehow sore-asses and mean and carried vendettas because they followed the law.

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 06:00 AM) Back in the day when the Indiana dunes were the place to go after prom several of my friends DID get arrested for underage drinking, DID get 24 hours in the pokey, and it DID deter most of them from being idiots by drinking and acting like assholes in public. ALL of them were banned from graduation ceremonies. Zero tolerance. We ALL signed an agreement stating that if we were caught drinking that's what would happen. A few of them DIDN'T get the hint and two of them died from alcohol poisening, and another by playing chicken on Southwest Hwy. I drank underage, you bet. But had I gotten caught you bet my ass would have not been stupid enough to slap in the face the person that slapped me on the wrist when he could have made life a lot worse for me. Although back then I doubt I would have gotten a slap on the wrist, like these kids did. And if you want to use that argument at least keep in mind that they were NOT put in jail for drinking.. they were put in jail for VIOLATING a probation agreement THEY AGREED TO. They got lucky no one got hurt - thank God. The law is 21 because MANY teenagers are IRRESPONSIBLE when it comes to alcohol http://camy.org/factsheets/index.php?FactsheetID=7 • Three teens are killed each day when they drink alcohol and drive.1 At least six more die every day from other alcohol-related causes.2 • According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 6,002 young people ages 16-20 died in motor vehicle crashes in 2003. Alcohol was involved in 38% of these deaths.3 • In 2003, 3,571 young drivers ages 16-20 died in motor vehicle crashes. Of these, 1,131 - approximately 32% - had been drinking, and 26% were legally drunk at the time of the crash.4 • A survey of college students in 2001 revealed that, for students under age 21, 26% drove after drinking alcohol, more than 10% drove after consuming more than five drinks, and almost a quarter rode with a high or drunk driver at least once in the 30 days before the survey.5 • In the year 2000, only 7% of licensed drivers were ages 15 to 20. However, in that same year, they represented approximately 13% of drivers who had been drinking and were involved in fatal crashes.6 Alcohol Dependence: • Americans who began drinking before the age of 15 are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence than those who wait until the age of 21.7 • In November 2004, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) concluded that alcohol abuse and dependence are "developmental disorders."8 • An analysis published in the November 15, 2004 issue of Biological Psychiatry stated that the onset of alcohol dependence peaks by 18 years of age.9 Risky Sexual Behavior: • It is estimated that teenage girls who binge drink are up to 63% more likely to become teen mothers.10 • In a poll of more than 11,700 college students from 128 colleges in the United States, researchers found that, compared to those who waited to drink until they were 19 or older, college students who got drunk for the first time before age 13 were twice as likely to say they had had unplanned sex because of drinking. They were more than twice as likely to say they had had unprotected sex because of drinking.11 • In a study conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation, 23% (5.6 million) of sexually active teens and young adults ages 15-24 in the United States reported having had unprotected sex because they were drinking or using drugs at the time. Twenty-four percent of teens ages 15-17 said that their alcohol and drug use led them to do more sexually than they had planned.12 Health Consequences: • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 4,554 underage deaths each year are due to excessive alcohol use.13 • Alcohol use plays a substantial role in all three leading causes of death among youth - unintentional injuries (including motor vehicle fatalities and drownings), suicides and homicides.14 • Those who begin drinking before the age of 14 are five times more likely than those who begin drinking after the age of 21 to be injured while under the influence of alcohol at some point during their lives.15 • Among young people, binge drinkers and heavy drinkers are more than twice as likely as non-drinkers to report having attempted to injure themselves or having contemplated or attempted to commit suicide.16,17 • Research has also shown another specific link between heavy alcohol use and youth suicides. States that passed "zero tolerance" laws to reduce youth drinking-driving also experienced statistically significant reductions in suicide deaths among 15- to 20-year-olds, compared to states that did not pass such laws.18 • There is growing evidence to suggest that alcohol use prior to age 21 impairs crucial aspects of youthful brain development. In one recent study, heavy-drinking adolescents who had been sober for three weeks still scored 10 percent lower than non-drinking peers on tests requiring verbal and nonverbal recall and skills needed for map reading, geometry, and science.19 Social Consequences: • The costs of youth drinking are an estimated $53 billion annually, and include costs to society such as medical care costs and lost productivity, as well as costs to the young drinker such as pain and suffering and loss of income.20 • A study that followed over 6,500 individuals found that, by the age of 23, those who were drinkers by seventh grade were: - more likely than non-drinkers to have "missed work for no good reason," - more likely to be substance-users, - more likely to engage in criminal and violent behavior, and - between 1.7 and 2.3 times more likely to be weekly or binge drinkers, exhibit signs of alcohol dependence, and experience multiple alcohol problems.21 Updated July 2005 But why oh why is the drinking age 21? Its so damn unfair, Steff! Everyone should be able to drink at whatever age they choose! This Judge is a meanie!
