QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 03:45 PM) Any tips to get a 7 month old puppy to stop nipping? Trying everything. Adult teeth have been in awhile. Frustrating. Get a cheap spray bottle from Wal-Mart or Target and everytime it happens spray water in the face. It works on dogs and even cats to get them to stop doing s***. But it works better on dogs.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 02:43 PM) This seems to be the standard response to mock their potential. And I'm certainly not "afraid" of them. But when have they ever had a system that on the surface appeared to be this loaded? I know there was a lot of hype surrounding Gordon and Hochevar. But they've never had anything like this. You're talking 8-10 consensus top 75ish or so prospects. If just 4 of those guys max out then they're in business. In baseball, I'd be surprised to see 40% (low end of your estimate) to 50% (high end of your estimate) of "top prospects" "max out". Sure, some will be good, maybe one "maxes out" and the rest wind up as role players/relievers/AAAA fodder. Until they prove to have turned the corner as an organization in developing "can't miss" players, I won't get too worked up about the "potential" of the perennially s***ty Kansas City Royals.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 03:00 PM) Cheater! That s*** was on Sportscenter like last week.

QUOTE (since56 @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 02:39 PM) Jenks may do well the Red Sox. He would not have done well with the White Sox. Well, there you have it. Case closed, there was no way Jenks could have pitched well again for the White Sox... since56 has spoken.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 10:50 PM) I am actually VERY afraid of the Royals. Not really this coming year, but soon. People are saying that the Royals farm system is the best farm system that they've ever seen. I swear I've been reading this post yearly for the last decade.

So yeah, the Bears are a big deal, regardless.

I find this topic interesting, but in the case of dogs, I don't believe it. What do you call a dog that humps pillows? Dogs hump things, hell, my dog used to hump my cat. Dogs hump to get off and also to show dominance, but show any male dog with his privates unsnipped a female dog in heat, and I guarantee it'll be hump time.

QUOTE (onedude @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 02:16 PM) What do you think about Gary's role as the commisioner in Batman Begins/ The Dark Knight? It's nothing Earth shattering, but it's one of the best casting jobs I've ever seen. He's the perfect Commissioner Gordon.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 12:35 PM) But it's still on your OS with lots of HTC crap running in the background. Or are you on an AOSP ROM? Nah, it's still there. I'll have to take care of that crap. I worry about bricking this wonderful piece of technology.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 01:25 PM) I think Jon Stewart just won. Excellent.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 12:21 PM) Yeah I'll be all over that once they come out with the new version. Just so you know it's not a Sense based ROM. Not sure if you knew that. HTC Sense apps and widgets won't work on it. But all of that HTC stuff is bloat that makes the OS run slower as well as take up way too much internal memory. If you love their widgets like the clock you could always find comparable replacements on the market such as Beautiful Widgets. Yeah, I don't run HTC Sense anyway. LauncherPro + Beautiful Widgets.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 10:53 AM) Also, the 4G coding they did is going to be better than what HTC implemented. The guys working on the code, from the ground up, noted that the HTC coding for 4G was pretty awful and it should work better when cyanogen implements it. And once they do, any AOSP ROM will be able to us it such as MUIU which is the iphone looking ROM. Then I will be running that s***.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 10:46 AM) Bingo. There are gingerbread ROMs already available if you rooted your phone. Yeah, but those don't support GPS and other critical functions. I want a legit release.

I want Gingerbread on my Evo for the music syncing abilities alone. Marko, will this happen? You'd think with the Evo still selling like mad we'd get the upgrade.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 09:54 AM) This is actually a really good question. You would obviously think to look back at the dynasty years. But I really can't recall them winning a game by 45+ points. And back in those days I used to record the games. I do remember a game during the 72-win season in which they scored the first 20 points of that game against the Hornets. But they only won by 35 or so. Didn't take long. They waxed the Antoine Carr, Bill Wennington led Kings by 47 back in 1991. That is one horrific looking roster. http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxsco...9102220CHI.html I immediately think of that NBA Finals victory over the Utah Jazz. 96-54 (42 point victory). f***in' A that was hilarious.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 09:00 AM) TGIF! Well, at least for me this is Friday. Get Thursday and Friday off this week and next week as well. Only thing that sucks is I don't get paid for those 4 days. Gonna be a really small paycheck in a couple weeks. I, too have this Thursday and Friday off. Today is my final work day of 2010. I, however, do get paid.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 08:39 PM) Bulls up 35 with 2 to go in the 3rd quarter. And THAT was why I liked the Ronnie Brewer signing. And there it was again. 40!!!!!! QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 09:57 PM) Ronnie Brewer.. insanely underrated. You just gotta love those guards without a shot. He's not underrated at all. He's known exactly for what he is.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 11:43 PM) Here's my list, in order, in case anyone gives a crap: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (loved it) Dirty Harry The Fighter (fantastic) Top Gun Jonah Hex Caddyshack What does the list entail? Movies you've watched over winter break so far? Is this a ranking of them or just a list? How did you like Caddyshack? That's one of the funniest movies ever in my book.

I like to see the Bulls dominate a s***ty opponent.

That's bizarre. It's dumb to post such things when you have aspirations that Rex clearly had, but definitely good for them at the same time.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) So...you guys are into that foot stuff, huh... QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) So...you guys are into that foot stuff, huh... So funny you can't post it just once!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 03:35 PM) Tell me that #3 Kemp isnt exactly what Griffin did. Stacey King opened my guys to how similar players they are. Hopefully Blake avoids the buffets.

The wife is buying me a pedicure tomorrow. Flame on.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 03:13 PM) Um, did you miss the first drive of the game? Um, did you miss the drives following that leading up to his injury?

I remember this commercial, and I fully back your decision 100%.
