Did anyone see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy completely blow their lip sync cover while doing their halftime show today? It was worse than Ashley Simpson, they were pretending to play their instruments and 3 bandmembers started to try and sing their chorus, but nothing happened. So then the guitar player starts laughing and is just holding the guitar while a guitar riff is playing over the speakers, the lead singer started singing about a full second after his voice comes on the speakers, and the whole band looked like they just didnt think that they needed to make it look realistic. I was really dissapointed. I saw them in concert about 6 years ago, and I never thought they would resort to something like this. I mean, everyone knows that lip sync-ing happens. But if you are gonna do something like that, ON NATIONAL TV, at least sell your product. I hope someone calls them out for this, its not fair for Simpson to get raked over the coals for the same thing, even though i could care less about her career.

Wow. This is gonna change the face of cheeseland for a while. Rodgers looked more like Joey Harrington than he did Eli Manning when he came in for Brett Favruuuh a few weeks ago.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 1, 2006 -> 11:50 PM) After tonight, you can say goodbye to our Offensive Line Coach and to our starting RT Rob Pettiti. Is Pettiti a free agent? On a related note, is Larry Allen signed for another 20 years?

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jan 2, 2006 -> 10:11 AM) So, you're saying that Jeter isn't a good defensive SS? Do you even watch baseball?? I will say he isnt as great as he is made out to be. He gets the job done and gets too much airtime when he makes a good play. I appreciate his bat a hell of alot more than I appreciate his glove. And yes, I do watch baseball. Just like everyone else here.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 2, 2006 -> 02:06 AM) 7 of 8 for 44 yards and a score....what a throw to Gage!! But the most important part? He MANAGED THE GAME, NO TURNOVERS!!! I really think we should start Blake in the 1st playoff game, he can complete passes AND manage the game, he's like Orton and Grossman all rolled into 1 God-like QB!!! Did you see that Marino-like pass from Blake to Gage? I dont think Grossman could have done that.

I dont know, I thought their pen was much better last year with Tom Gordon in the mix. On paper it looks like their pen improved, but we all know what intense pressure does to Farnsworth, who knows if Dotel will ever be what he was before his injury, and Ron Villone is living off of his good 1st half with Seattle. I wont say this pen is good until I see it perform.

I think its time to make a "Jeff Blake Appreciation Thread", ASAP. Hey White Sox Josh, your boy Orton sure looked like a superbowl QB today. Someone needs to tell him the triple head pump fake only works when it is Purdue vs Coastal Carolina.

I wanna see what Maurice's advisor Jim Brown thinks of his protege' now. LOL, THE Ohio State Penitentiary

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Dec 31, 2005 -> 03:21 AM) I guess innocent until proven guilty doesn't apply to certain people. Depends. Balco tipped the scales and made it impossible for us, as the regular person, to decipher who was or was not juicing, and the players union did their best to cover up any and all wrongdoing until Congress stepped in. So we were left with bits and pieces of grand jury testimony, Jose Cansecos book(which was WIDELY ridiculed and questioned, but actually turned out to hold weight) and players pointing fingers. Sure, noone ever saw Barry Bonds take steroids(or hasnt admitted it yet), but Gary Sheffield had no problem telling everyone that Barry gave him the cream. Does that make Bonds guilty? Not to some, but it sure makes me think that he is(well, that and the pictures throughout his career that playout like Bruce Banner morphing into the Incredible Hulk). For most of his career Miguel Tejada was in BALCO central, its not out of the realm of possibility that he saw Giambi get paid and decided he wanted to jack his numbers up to the next level with Victor Conte's lab. And for KW, he needs to have no doubt in his mind. If he thinks that Tejada could possibly be involved, he needs to stay the f*** away, proof or no proof. It just isnt as easy as saying "Innocent until proven guilty"

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 12:50 PM) dude your sig=priceless I thought you would appreciate that

Im waiting for Tejada to stop reiterating his trade demand, to tell you the truth. We all know. He doesnt have to keep telling ESPN he wants to be traded and continue throwing his team under the bus for lack of action.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 12:33 PM) Although I know what you are thinking right now: I wonder what VaFan thinks about this. you are right. Thats what I think about everything.WWVAFD?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 12:30 PM) Plus I dont take your posts seriously well aint that some s*** If the guy quit on his team last year, I want no part of him. His last two months were pretty bad for his standards. And I am still curious about his Palmeiro connection. Cancer is a bad word though, I dont think thats right

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 12:22 PM) Heres a quote about Tejada Tejada plays baseball with passion and drive. He demonstrates his reverence for the game with hard play and vocal leadership. Teammate Brian Roberts told Peter Gammons that Tejada is the best player in the game because, 'He has an uncanny ability to knock in runs... his energy. He is always up, pushing everyone and making the entire team better." Orioles' hitting instructor Terry Crowley said, "This franchise changed the day he arrived." Bear in mind I dont want him here. But making up s*** like him being a cancer in the clubhouse is stupid. Let the cubs fans do that. Hers another quote about Tejada from Foxsports.com It isnt made up Rock, its widely speculated.

Im just curious at what reaction this weeks NFL power rankings would draw. This really doesnt mean anything at all, this guy isnt much more than an intern, but he is published on Foxsports.com http://foxsports.foxnews.com/nfl/story/5199720

i have no doubt in my mind that Grissom will start at some point

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 09:29 AM) Is Lester the guy the cubs used to have????? If so Reed for him seems a bit tilted toward Boston. What isnt tilted towards Boston? I swear they are just as bad as the Yankees in terms of prospect hype and what it generates them in the trade market, and every trade is a fleece to me, I just dont get it. Jeremy Reed and Gil Meche for Jon Lester? Two major leaguers for a minor league prospect. GMAFB. Every trade is like this. Casey Fossum, Brandon Lyon, Jorge De La Rosa and Michael Goss for Curt Schilling. Who? Nobodies. Fossum was already traded to Tampa and has been a dissapointment, Lyon sported a 6.62 ERA last year, De La Rosa was traded to Milwaukee. I just dont get how they pull the wool over everyones eyes.

Judging by the offseason it doesnt look like the Sox are going to fall off anytime soon, and the fans come when the Sox win. I dont foresee anything but a snowball effect on attendance unless something bad happens. I think 3,000,000 is a attainable figure.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 10:10 AM) What line of business are you in exactly? I couldnt resist. It was there, I had to do it.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 09:36 AM) That kid is SOOOOOOOOO grounded right now...... Im sure "Go to your room!" is much better than "Pay me $200 for the cab ride or I beat your ass!"

QUOTE(JimH @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 09:32 AM) Thank you, yes. It turns out they had offers out to Garland and Contreras, Garland jumped at the offer and signed. I believe they are still talking to Contreras, trying to get something done. In the meantime if they get blown away by a trade offer, they'll move him. As for Vazquez, they love him and have chased him for at least 3 years now. It makes zero sense that their purpose is to raise his value and trade him. Watch out JimH. if Vasquez is traded then VAFan is going to bring up this post.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Dec 29, 2005 -> 11:33 PM) I've tried Halo, don't see the allure. Me neither, Im just not a first person shooter type of guy. I think the story is pretty neat though

http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-crash30.html The four teens cruised through the quiet, early-morning hours Thursday, sharing a night out on Christmas break to celebrate a buddy's birthday. But the road was slick. So slick that when 16-year-old Christopher Sampsell tried to change lanes, the 2001 Sebring convertible skidded out of control and smashed through a bank of trees. "I tried to turn the wheel to the right to stop the car from skidding,'' Christopher said from his hospital bed Thursday afternoon. "But then the car started going out of control. The next thing that happened was the car jumped the curb and hit the light pole and rolled. That's when I blacked out.'' Christopher's front-seat passenger, 16-year-old Patrick Schilling, shook him awake and called 911. But the two teenagers in the back seat -- 16-year-old Robert Oakes and 17-year Dan Noble -- had suffered massive injuries and died. Emergency workers -- who said the wreck was among the worst they'd seen -- had to cut through 12 trees and bushes to get at the Sebring, which had been crushed by the light pole. "When I woke up and saw what had happened,'' Christopher said, "I kind of got angry.'' *** The four teens, all high school juniors, were connected by neighborhoods and the Catholic schools they attended. They had gathered Wednesday to celebrate Dan's 17th birthday. Christopher said he got to know Robert and Patrick at Loyola Academy in Wilmette, where he attended high school until this year, when he transferred to Taft High School. He had just met Dan on Wednesday. Dan attended St. Patrick's High School in Chicago, and both the Noble and Oakes families are members of Queen of All Saints parish on the Northwest Side. The Nobles attended Christmas mass there, and funeral arrangements for both teens were pending, a parish spokeswoman said. "The tragic thing about accidents is they are so sudden and so final,'' said the Rev. George Koeune, an associate pastor. "We are keeping them in our prayers.'' It is not clear exactly where the boys went Wednesday. But a member of the Oakes family said Robert had been given permission to sleep at a friend's house that night, and friends of Dan said he also had talked of plans for a sleepover. Lincolnwood Police Chief Daniel Gooris said he did not believe that Christopher, who was driving his father's car, had been given permission to drive and that he didn't know what the boys were doing in the 6900 block of Cicero at 3:30 a.m. when the car skidded off the road. Gooris said Christopher, who was northbound on Cicero in a 40 mph zone, lost control while trying to switch lanes and that the teen told police he "might have been going too fast and lost control.'' The car hit the curb and was airborne for a few seconds before hitting the light pole, which crashed into the back seat. The car then crashed into a tree. The car's top was closed, but Gooris said the soft top offered little protection against the falling light pole. Police could not say if everyone was wearing a seat belt. Gooris said the accident remained under investigation, adding there were no immediate signs that alcohol or drugs were involved. Christopher has been licensed to drive since May and had no record of tickets or citations, a spokeswoman for the Illinois secretary of state's office said. *** Denise Gordon, Robert's aunt, said her sister-in-law rarely if ever allowed her son to stay out overnight at friends' houses. "She knew where he was at every minute,'' Gordon said. "All she knew is he was sleeping over at somebody's house.'' Robert, who lived in the 5700 block of North Kingsdale, was a "wonderful boy,'' she said. "Always a good boy. Never in trouble. Never." She said Robert's parents were struggling to cope. "Pretty much, they're devastated." Robert was the youngest of four boys. He had 23-year-old twin brothers and a 26-year-old brother. Like his brothers, he went to Loyola Academy. He planned to attend the University of Colorado. Robert loved golf and was a Bears fan, Gordon said. While he didn't play sports, he loved fishing with his uncle Jim in Door County, Gordon said. Dan, who lived in the 4800 block of West Balmoral, also loved the outdoors, including camping, hunting and hiking, his classmate at St. Patrick's, James Ridgeway, 17, said. He also joked about the fact that his family was from Tennessee, calling himself a "redneck.'' Dan often hung out at Ridgeway's house to play foosball or darts, or went to another friend's house for table tennis. He was a competitive swimmer and was a member of both the water polo and the swim teams at school. Dan missed swim practice Wednesday because it was his birthday, friends and coaches said. He told coaches and friends he was going skiing and then planned to go to a sleepover. At a Thursday morning practice, swim coaches brought the entire swim team together to break the news. "Everyone is still in shock,'' said friend Joe Przekota, 17. "He was only gone for a day, and now he's not here anymore.'' The team dedicated the rest of its season to Dan, and school president Konrad Diebold called Noble a "terrific kid with a smile that never stopped.'' Assistant varsity coach John Przekota remembered Dan's huge sense of humor, including the time last year he shaved his entire body, and then painted on a pair of false eyebrows that looked angry and intimidating. "He took the edge off,'' Przekota recalled. "It cracked up the team.'' Dan's neighbor, 80-year-old Lorraine Aloia, also recalled his kindnesses -- shoveling her walk without being asked and coming over to help her around the house. "He did stuff like a son would do,'' she said. "You didn't have to ask him to do anything. He'd just do it. You don't find kids like that these days.'' *** Patrick and Christopher remained in good condition at St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, a spokeswoman said. Christopher said he fractured his ribs and also suffered injury to his spine and lungs. He was very lucky, he said. And Patrick, he added, "was doing real good.'' When asked about Robert and Dan, Christopher got quiet. "I just really don't want to talk about that right now.'' TEENS ON THE ROAD Through Dec. 23, 1,338 people were killed in vehicle accidents in Illinois in 2005, according to preliminary state figures. Thirty-three of them were 16 years old: 17 were drivers, 15 were passengers, and one was a pedestrian. In all, 152 people ages 15 through 19 were killed on Illinois roads through Dec. 23. In 2004, 72 drivers ages 15 through 19 were killed in Illinois -- and 54 of them were male. Sixty-three passengers 15 through 19 were killed last year in Illinois -- and 36 were male. Nationally, young male drivers are more than twice as likely to be involved in fatal crashes than young females, federal statistics show. Alcohol-related fatal crashes also are more likely among young males. Motor vehicle crashes are the top cause of death for 15- through 20-year-olds. Traditionally, very old and very young drivers have the worst accident rates, and 16-year-olds have the highest involvement in fatal crashes among all teen drivers, who get progressively safer as they age.
