Apparently the 100m runoff for the final women's spot happened today, but I'm waiting to watch tonight.

The Blackhawks would look really, really, really strong with Parise.

That's hilarious!

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 2, 2012 -> 11:21 AM) Some rumors that the Hawks might be heavily in on Parise. But it hasn't been confirmed by any legit insiders yet. That would be incredibly hawt.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 2, 2012 -> 11:22 AM) if the Bulls thought that then they wouldn't match. We'll see what happens. They had better not match.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 08:17 PM) my 'obsession' is with not losing him for nothing. Yeah, I love your passion man, but keeping Asik at this price would hurt the Bulls more than letting him walk.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 05:35 PM) Humber: 2.1 innings 3 hits 2 runs 2 er 2 bb 3 k 52 pitches, 28 strikes. Good luck next time. You're not ready. I believe the Sox used up all the good Humber already.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 05:20 PM) Oh my goodness. Whatever. Now tell me how he's "improving" and waiting to be "unleashed" upon the basketball world. There's a reason he hasn't exceeded 30 MPG. He's very slow laterally, foul prone and not always in the best of shape. This would be acceptable in 1986. Not today. And the whole "5th most efficient center in the NBA" thing?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 04:52 PM) BTW, I like to think I'm a big baseball fan...I have never heard of Ernesto Frieri until now. You need to play FANTASY baseball!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 04:58 PM) How is it false? The numbers are right there for you. He's hasn't been "unleashed" yet because he's fat and has stamina issues. Ibaka is a great shotblocker. Not Hibbert. Because of the lack of true big men in today's game, he's overrated and about to be overpaid (almost $15 million?). GMAB. How does the following 3 seasons equal 3 straight 12/8 seasons? 12.8 / 8.8 12.7 / 7.5 11.7 / 5.7

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 04:40 PM) Is this sarcasm? He's been 12 and 8 for the last three years. He's a good, not great, shot-blocker. He's alright. If you've got a great team around him. But he's no centerpiece. Where do you get 12/8 for the last 3 years - that's just false? He also hasn't been unleashed for even 30 mpg yet. He's 25, his PER jumped from 15 to 19, he's a shot blocking machine, and he can score and board. Among centers who played 29 minutes or more, Hibbert ranked 5th in the NBA behind Joakim Noah, Marcin Gortat, Andrew Bynum, and Dwight Howard. He's f***ing good. EDIT: And since when is 14.5 per a centerpiece?

We randomly watched two movies last night. Unstoppable (Denzel, Pine) - it was actually pretty enjoyable. We were flipping and it was starting and we enjoyed it. Chronicle - I rented this via Redbox in bluray. I don't even have words - you should see this movie. It was really, really good and clearly had a much larger budget than I realized. Seriously, if you have any sense of adventure, scifi, or enjoying "superpowers" - my God was that movie incredible.

This is the f***ing dumbest news I have ever heard. AJ has been f***ing aewsome this year. I had water in my basement this afternoon, and now this - I think the AJ news is worse. I am pissed the f*** off.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 12:34 PM) Good luck beating Yu Not possible, so not worth my vote. Not only does he get the hype vote, he also has an entire country voting for him. Jake, you're an All-Star in my heart, go have some Jägermeister and enjoy the rest.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 02:10 PM) And they just drafted a pure C in the lottery. WTF are they doing. Hibbert is the f***ing s***, and he just keeps getting better. A four year deal for him would be brilliant for any team.

If the Hawks sign Brodeur, I just might spit.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 11:21 AM) If Asik leaves for nothing I'm gonna be PISSED. We could have traded him last year for O.J. Mayo or Courtney Lee. You do realize that both Lee and Mayo are restricted FA's as well and are going through the same situation, right? Mayo was non-tendered, so he's unerstricted, and Lee is working on a deal. Net gain with trade would have been zilch.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 11:04 PM) Rockets offering Omer 8 mill anually. Good take him lets resign Taj longterm. They had better not match that.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 11:01 AM) Come on Gavin, this one is bigtime Win it and then leave him in New York for a couple of their spects! JK, can't really live without Gavin.

That's awesome.

I f***ing love AJ Pierzynski, always have, and you haters who have have been clamoring for him to move along better recognize. He's very likely the 2nd best catcher in White Sox history, and the best is one of the best of all-time. AJ? Yes. Stretch.

New Tenacious D album makes up for the last one - it's fantastic, and hilarious.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 02:37 PM) Wetzel and Doyel both have good columns putting Penn st on blast This is the internet, you could have linked! And though this news is not shocking, it's still terrible.

Greg is elated.
