QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 09:47 PM) Kyle Orton's QB Rating - 59.7 The Great Rex Grossman's QB Rating (including the playoff game) - 56.8 But i thought Grossman was such a huge upgrade over Orton. Ha, this is funny WSJ. Still whining about the same thing. It was right to put you on the case.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 04:41 PM) Did this actually happen? Or is it still a rumor? Its true, Anna Benson is a crazy skank. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2300779

QUOTE(SEALgep @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 03:53 PM) What's wrong with owning a gun? ^^^ What Jackie Hayes said. I dont think there is anything wrong with having guns, but this lady is bragging and promoting them like everyone needs one, and that isnt the case. Sure, she throws "Gun Education" in there, but then she talks about leaving guns around the house in strategic, unlocked, and easily accessible places(because (her father's) valid argument is that if the guns are locked up, it will be too difficult to access them when needed... like when some deranged 200 pound man is busting through my front door). Give me a break. She should shut the f*** up before she convinces other people to do the same thing, and someone gets hurt. That being said, this could probably turn into a decent discussion on The Filibuster.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 03:53 PM) I could not stop laughing when they were at the soda machine and he goes "how's the PA....M situation going.. ". And when he was in his office messing up his hair... and explaining the Hooter's check. LMAO.. hysterical!!! I love the guy that plays Dwight. Loved him on Six Feet Under also. I saw him (Raine Wilson/Dwight) on a late night show the other night, It might have been Conan, and he is just as strange as Dwight is. You can tell it isnt a stretch to play Dwight for him. He is really funny though, I like that sort of humor.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 02:08 PM) IMO, Anna Benson is not really much to look at. Particularly when we have Mrs. Pods to look at. Anna is hot until she opens her mouth. Then, not so much. She likes to show off the cleavage though, thats for sure. Her website is frickin hilarious, she is absolutely in love with herself and her image. www.annabenson.net edit: I just went to her site. Now she is a gun advocate with a crazy letter to "Gun haters". Seriously, some people should just stick to what they do. She happens to be the wife of a baseball player, now because she has money and time on her hands(not to mention all the attention she wants) she thinks she can spout off whatever she wants. "I have many guns (strategically placed) in my home to be used in the event of a home invasion—a crime which frequently occurs in my city." Yeah, im sure their plush New York highrise has many instances of home invasion.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 09:18 AM) I hope nobody considers hunting a sport. To quote Peanut Tillman..."if the other side don't know it's playing, it ain't a game!". must you speak when such stupid things come out?

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 12:02 PM) Oscar is guy who often recieves predjudice remarks from Michael about his Latin background. The thing that I dislike about his character is that the writers don't utilize how insanely funny that actor (Oscar Nunez) can be. If you've ever seen the two 'Reno 911!' episodes where they do terrorist training, then you know what I'm talking about. Go here Reno 911! and watch the movie called 'Chemical Shower' to get a slight idea. My favorite charater is Ryan. It is one character where they definitely took a departure from the original Office and put an entirely different spin on how he interacts with Michael. B.J. Novak is a real funny guy too and has written a handful of the episodes, all of them being the funnier ones. Oh yeah, Ryan is developing into a really funny character. He knows he doesnt have enough seniority to talk back to michael, but he never wants to listen to Michael because he is an idiot. I was laughing so hard when Michael burned his foot on his Foreman grill and was trying to get Ryan to rub his feet, among other things.

Since I live practically next door to Busse Woods forest preserve, I had a question about their deer cull. Is this something that any hunter can apply for? Or is it strictly managed by the park district? I seem to remember that they usually have a very high cull number because the deer are basically trapped in the forest preserve by highways on all sides, and they breed like crazy because they never go hungry(because little old ladies feed them like crazy). Just curious if anyone knows anything about this. on a side note, I live right on Algonquin Rd in Rolling Meadows, about 100 feet from my front door to the road. Whats hanging around my front door yesterday? A friggin Coyote. And even wierder, my wife said he went to the road, and looked both ways and crossed the road when there were no cars. how crazy is that?

QUOTE(Felix @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 11:20 AM) My point about Derrek Lee is that he's going to get paid a s***load in FA, and Boston has more pressing needs than a 1B. I think they should spend their money on pitching, rather than a 1B since they already have a pretty good alternative for that position. I never said Youkilis was a better player than Lee. No, you said he was a better bargain. Which, when you factor in Derrek Lee as a possible triple crown candidate, just doesnt hold true with me. I just dont think anyone would envision Youkilis being a good alternative when you see what Lee can bring to the table. And if they held on to Youkilis over Lee for money purposes and said "We have a pretty good alternative to Derrek Lee in-house, his name is Kevin Youkilis.", Boston would hunt Theo down.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 11:18 AM) Oscar just vaulted way up my list after last episode, but I think so far Jim is my favorite. Is Oscar the balding fat guy who has great one-liners like "I picked myself in the secret santa gift exchange"?

QUOTE(Felix @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 11:03 AM) My love child? I said he was going to be a good player, how the hell does that make him my love child? Just because you seem to hate everything that Billy Beane thinks is good doesn't mean those players, or his system, suck. I think he's an overrated GM as well, but he's great when it comes to finding good prospects and value players. Youkilis is a good player. As I've said all along, if his minor league numbers translate into his major league numbers, then he will be a bargin in the major leagues. I think that his minor league numbers can/will translate into major league numbers, so I think he is going to be a good player. Does that make him my love child? How dare I think a player who has good minor league numbers will be good in the majors! if you would have said what you said about Youkilis without bringing Derrek Lee into the equation, I wouldnt have said a thing.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 11:05 AM) WOW! ok, i stnad corrected Lets put it this way, in college there was a group of about 12 of us heavily involved in radio. Of all of us, there is one person who stuck with it, he works at Q101, and he isnt even ON air. The rest of us suffered some bigtime disillusion and went other directions. I dont want to discourage you. I just want to let you know, if you are gonna go for it, dont hold back because you are gonna get some crap thrown at you before it settles in. If you get your own show, there is going to be alot of things about your life you have to give up to become the personality in your show, mostly time.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 11:00 AM) It depends. A good GM will give you a little longer, especially if its a new show. Sometimes, it takes a book just to get the new shows name out to the general public. So, 18 months is a fair amount of time. I worked in Radio for 4 years, there is no such thing as a "good GM". They do what they are told by the Man. I wish I could agree with your 18 month figure, but too many of my friends have been canned in under 6 months because of ratings. I have seen it too many times. If you want your show to work, you gotta be on your game and and cant let down.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 10:55 AM) As many of you know, i graduated this spring from Columbia College with a major in radio broadcasting. One of my teachers told us that basically, you have 18 months as a show, if you don't show significant improvement in ratings, you get pulled. Simple as that. And 18 months is a generous number. Usually you get one "book" in the arbitron ratings.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 12:22 AM) And who gives a flying f*** about what ESPN has to say about anything, kyle? Why do you even bother paying attention to that piece of s*** station? Yo hammer, dont hurt em. Relax man, the only reason I found out about it was because I was searching to see if there was anything updated in his player card. No need to get on me because of that.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 12:02 AM) Juwan Howard scored 30? Damn you guys are in trouble. Oh and Tyson got injured again. You want to know what ESPN thinks of Tyson Chandler? Search his last name on the website.
