Easily one of King's best since The Stand. I like the references to It when the character spends time in Derry. Makes me want to read that book again. Yeah, it slows down a tad in the middle, but it's worth the time!

We are plowing through 'Friday Night Lights'. I can't believe we waited so long. This show is as good as people say.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 05:59 PM) Maybe we should all follow that example and cut to black just before the end of every. The period ruined it.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 05:50 PM) Steve, Unfortunately the reason I brought it up was because of this: http://jonathanturley.org/2011/11/25/famil...playing-doctor/ This is why statutory crimes are stupid. Well then f*** the world, and more importantly, f*** Wisconsin.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 05:45 PM) The jury can also determine if its 2 7year olds and they were playing a game of Dr that it wasnt actually statutory rape. I don't think anyone in the world would consider two 7 year olds playing with each other's privates to be statutory rape.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 05:18 PM) People that hated it, went it fingers on the keyboard ready to write a Novel about how bad it was. I just sat back and enjoyed the living s*** out of the last episode of one of my favorite TV shows of all time and absolutely loved it. This type of post is ridiculous and becoming all too common around these parts. So anyone who hated it is some nerd who writes pages about hating it, but anyone who sat back, relaxed, and strapped it down (and enjoyed it, of course) is just simply able to enjoy tv!

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 04:57 PM) That being said, you cant just change the rules for hot teachers All rules are changed for hot women.

I believe Derrick Rose has officially given his Dwight endorsement.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 04:36 PM) Yeah some of these comments have irony written all over them. I never said "all boys". I was referring to myself at age 17. I guarantee my dad would have given approval for that action anyway so it'd be a moot point.

I'd falafel her waffle. As long as it's not a blue waffle.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 03:16 PM) At that age, that, IMO, is just an adult wanting to address his own failings. You do realize what happens when you assume, correct? There is absolutely ZERO background for the coach or his funding. Perhaps the coach is also the sponsor is also the owner of a local hardware store? There are SO MANY unanswered questions to this non-story. However, now some guy somewhere you know absolutely nothing about is immediately the villain. It's easy to take your stance. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! THAT MAN IS HORRIBLE! WHAT A LOSER HE COULDN'T MAKE IT TO THE BIG LITTLE LEAGUES NOW HE'S FORCING THIS POOR GIRL AND HER FAMILY TO GO THROUGH SUCH DISCRIMINATION!! Goodness, people with real problems should be the ones who are offended.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 02:56 PM) The Only way I can watch Alcatraz on DVR cuz there are commercials every 5 minutes. Yeah, I was down for the OnDemand route, but they've locked the commercials in with no fast forwarding. Thus, bye bye Alcatraz. I also agree with Milkman. The shows really aren't that smart because they don't really give clues to anything to let people figure it out. They fly by the seat of their pants and events are magical and mostly don't pertain. It was fun on Lost for a couple of seasons, but that well has run dry a bit, I think. To each his own, I guess. The ratings certainly have been solid enough. I know I greatly enjoyed the first evening of "Alcatraz", but in my defense I was drunk.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 02:36 PM) Go read Steve's post again if you'd like. It wasn't an inspired discussion, it was him deciding what the article was about without reading it. Oh Christ, get over yourself. The coach apparently has made a decision, which appears to be within his power, to move the team to a more competitive, all-boys league. Also, apparently, that girls' brother could be moved to a league where she can play if it's such a big deal to him. The title of the article was so ridiculously leading that it honestly did not originally warrant a read. This is the internet. "Oh hey, look controversy! Get me clicks, get me reads, woooooo!!! I have written something completely leading and made assumptions and presented it mostly as fact!" There are options for this girl. There are options for her brother if he in fact has any interest playing on a team where they point out his sister is better than he is (sounds fun). There are places this family can go. Instead, let's start a big piss party about it and try to stop a team from playing more competitive rosters next year. Fun for everyone. Make sure they all get a trophy, too. Regardless of the questionable wisdom behind pushing to get a group of 7-year-olds into a "more competitive" baseball league, the unnamed coach himself insisted in his conversation with their mother that Anna was a better player than her younger brother, even though Carson would be allowed to keep playing while Anna would not. In addition to Anna, one other girl and other boys that had played on the team are reportedly being cut to make the team more competitive. This whole article is bulls***. The above paragraph completely ignores the point. That girl could hit 30 homeruns (yes, of course exaggerating) in a season and it still wouldn't matter. Why? BECAUSE THE LEAGUE DOESN'T ALLOW GIRLS TO PLAY. "I root for her on the team, and she's just a good person to play with on the baseball team," Carson Kimball told KDFW. "I just think if I can't be on the same team as my sister I should just quit on the team I was playing." Jeez, even the 6 year old understands it. Find a new team if you have to play with your big sis. That's sure going to be healthy moving forward, by the way. So yes, NSS, your ability to impregnate a woman and your esteemed history of umping baseball in high school clearly make your opinion much better than anyone else's here. My stance is that this article is trying to create news where news isn't... these parents have options.

Balls of steel.

I wish I could have been statutory raped by her when I was 17.

Captain Serious returns this evening and Brendan Morrison makes his debut in #17.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 12:46 PM) Blah. You should've specified. "Leading the league in assists" is pretty clear.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 12:41 PM) Rubio is third in assists behind Nash and Rondo. I know Paul led the league in '08 when he was robbed of the MVP. Nash led the league every year from '04 to '07 I believe. You are looking at averages. In total assists... 1. Rubio - 186 2. Nash - 179 3. Calderon - 177 4. Parker - 172 5. Deron - 170 Obviously Rondo's been banged up and he ain't playin' for awhile. Nash's old ass is missing games here and there as well. The incredible thing to think of is the fact that Rubio was being dicked for starters' minutes the first few weeks of the season. The dude is a gifted distributor.

Ricky Rubio currently leads the NBA in assists. I believe CP3 did this as a rookie... did anyone else achieve said feat? Incredible.

I have a feeling buying them on Stub Hub this season the day before or of game is going to equal lots of cheap games this year.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 12:11 PM) LOL, the seagull posting in here is awesome. Let's see how you feel after you have kids. No one is saying they shouldn't keep score. They are saying that maybe 1st graders shouldn't have to worry yet about being cut from their f***ing little league team. You're right. They shouldn't have to worry about it. They likely aren't worried about it, but I'm sure their parents are... sitting on the bench and never playing is way worse than being cut and trying something else.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 12:11 PM) Yeah because everyone that disagrees with your opinion is an idiot, your avatar is a reminder of that. I never said that. I never used the word 'idiot'. That word, however, could definitely be reserved for someone who says Wes Welker isn't much better than Earl Bennett.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 11:08 AM) Look at him before NE, he might be better than Bennett but the gap isn't that much of a difference.

Apparently, there is a God. Jack White launching solo album, first single available for stream here.
