QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 13, 2011 -> 02:52 PM) Thats why I said Tom from season 10,Palua (2004) and not Heroes-Villians (2010). 2010 he was already 45, Russell is only 37. And what do you mean people voting like b****es? People didnt vote for Russell because he was a dick for being a dicks sake. Yeah he is great at getting far in the game, but that strategy is a burn bridges strategy that almost never wins. Getting far in the game isnt always because your the best player, some times a better player is letting you do the dirty work, while trying to keep appearances up (Parvarti). In fact Parvarti was way more likely to win than Russell, because she doesnt just overtly create drama. Russell got 0 Votes in Villains and 2 Votes in Samoa. Tom won 6-1 in his season. Russell is a great beginning and mid-game player, but how many other "great" survivor players have been to multiple finals and only received 2 votes total? If I was creating a Survivor team, Id definitely want him on it, maybe he is even the top choice. But if I had to pick 1 person to win a season, I couldnt see myself picking Russell. And "deserving winner"? The rules of the game are clear, the winner is chosen by the very people who are voted out. The "deserving winner" is the person who can most successfully keep themselves in the game, while at the same time not burning as many bridges as possible. If the game was set up for people like Russell to win, there would be no jury. In a survivor without a jury, Russell may be 2-0 and he would probably be the best survivor of all time. But that is a different game, getting people to vote for you is what makes you deserving. Russell has been one of the worst players at that part of the game. Hence why he is not the "best" Survivor (imo of course). Outwit - Outplay - Outlast Russell did all of those to perfection. In both seasons. He and Parvati completely owned HvV. Sadly, in the past 5 seasons the cast has decided to add Outasskiss to the rules, despite that not being added to the tagline. You just said Russell would be your 1st pick if building a team (wow, we really should do a fantasy league together or something). That says it all. He's great at getting to the finale, but he's so great (and abrassive) that his tribemates cannot vote for him. This doesn't make him any less a Survivor, it just speaks to the one flaw in the game (one that may be addressed in the future, as Fabio deserved more votes than he got in Nicaragua... how does Chase get 4 votes!?). Russell has been the best Survivor on two seasons. When everyone knew he was going to f*** them, he convinced them he wouldn't, and then he went and f***ed them. It was brilliant. He did as much as he possibly could before the vote, and instead of the voters awarding the deserving player (at least in Samoa... that was a PURE SPITE VOTE as Natalie did nothing all season) he got screwed. In Heroes vs. Villains it should have been between Russell and Parvati, but neither won. If you think Sandra was deserving, well, there's really no more conversation to be had here.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 13, 2011 -> 11:59 AM) Oh so Im a big survivor fan, and if I had to pick a survivor from any season to win 1million for me it would be Tom in season 10. 5 out of 7 immunities, killing a shark with a machete, and winning 6-1, that is domination. Tom just got his ass beat in Heroes vs Villains. He didn't even belong in that elite company. As for Russell, whatever. The dude made the final show both seasons he was on, and if it weren't for people voting like b****es should have won both times. He completely dominated both seasons.

Holy f*** am I ready for baseball.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 13, 2011 -> 11:48 AM) I'm curious what the stipulation with them is because if they are on seperate tribes, the other people should get together and vote em off. The only way it would work is if you put them on the same tribe and let em go at it. I know a lot of people are sick of Russell but I want him on as much as possible. Best player ever and still pissed he didn't win his original season when it shouldn't of even been close. I don't even remember the girls name that won. Yeah, I too love Russell. On a BS Report, the Reality Guru said that he heard that Russell and Rob have immunity until the merge. That's both a good and a terrible idea.

More power to you, man. Like I said, you have some Cajones.

Man, if you can get more cash, when you said they already came in higher than you'd expected, you should swallow your pride and accept. Jobs are very precious right now, and even if you hate that they hold that fact over your head, it's still very true. Be very careful here.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2011 -> 10:17 AM) It also makes you wonder if it is the goaltender, or the system, when it comes to Coach Q. Well, Marty Turco sure as s*** hasn't enjoyed "the system" so who knows right now!

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jan 13, 2011 -> 09:38 AM) The question is with Crawford do you attempt to re-sign him now, or do you risk another Niemi situation happening? I think if you can get him locked up on a multiyear deal for anything under than $2M a season, you pull the trigger. The Niemi situation proved that paying some goaltenders is a bad idea. Crawford, I think we need to see more, though he's been exceptional this season.

As much as it'd be nice to play the Heat on Saturday without LeBron, I don't want to have to wait to go to "their house" for the test. Bring on the f***ing Heat, and hopefully the Bulls play as suffocating defense as they did against the Celtics. You can just tell this team is bored playing all these s*** teams like the Bobcats, and last night they just couldn't finish it after the huge comeback.

I don't know how many folks out there watch Survivor, but the long-rumored Rob vs. Russell season is official.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 12, 2011 -> 03:04 PM) Apparently Aromashadu has sat in Martz's doghouse for two reasons, 1: he doesnt block, and 2: he refuses to learn any other WR position other than the 1. He fancies himself as the number one guy and doesnt feel the need to learn the rest. And those big drops in game 1 just doomed him There's a reason Devin Aromashodu is on his third team, and it's because he just isn't very good.

I wasn't sure where to put this, so let's go with movies. Tom Hanks' son, Chester, is now a rapper at Northwestern. http://music-mix.ew.com/2011/01/12/tom-han...urple-rap-song/ wtf
