QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 02:23 PM) Okay Steve, from a fellow Carmelo fan let me throw this out there. Would you be okay with trading Noah for Melo if Melo doesn't sign an extension with the Bulls? Meaning he'd more than likely go to New York or wherever. IMO, you don't trade a piece of your core for a rental. Unless you're damn sure you're bringing home a championship. No. All this argument is PURELY based on the fact that "league sources" say the Bulls don't want to trade Noah in a deal for Melo. If Melo won't sign an extension, you do NOT make the trade. I thought that was too obvious to point out. I agree 100% there.

INTANGIBLES!!! And why do people so quickly compare Noah to Rodman?? Rodman was in another stratosphere!

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 12:09 PM) CBS could put on two guys making fart noises with their armpits for an hour every week and it would be a hit show. No doubt. I can't watch any of that trash. Seriously, Parks & Rec is hilarious, and if you don't agree with me, you are old and should watch CBS hits* like BBT, 2.5 dudes, Fat & Fatty,and bleep my dad says**. BUUUURRRRN *HIMYM does not apply bc it actually does not suck. **Worst casting job of all-time.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 11:53 AM) Awesome. Going to see Amy Schumer tomorrow night and Daniel Tosh next month in November. Oooo, Daniel Tosh.

Pretty stoked to be seeing Louis CK on the 11th at the Chicago Theater.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 11:47 AM) This will probably ruin things for a few of you. Game over, man, game over! Not often a chick looks way better with clothes on... she's lost a lot of weight in the last two years.

Argument is invalid, as the player who WILL be overpaid and a player who IS overpaid can be traded for a player you CAN'T overpay. Let alone, the argument there certainly cannot be referencing the Carmelo Anthony talk, because he's not a MLE player, and the Bulls don't have a MLE anyway. Bad, bad, bad (but long, so it must be good!) article.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 10:02 AM) This is the Bulls. They have the money to spend, so spend it. Noah is one of the top 5 centers in the league and he's entering his what, 4th year? Young, skilled, energetic and all about the team. I dunno if there's any player in the league like him, let alone a center. Plus, he's becoming a fan favorite. I say sign him for what he wants and make him happy. Sure, if you ignore stats and reality. You can chop off a few guys like Oden, Marc Gasol, Mohammed who we know are not as valuable, at least right now, but that was quite the sweeping, inaccurate statement. Joakim might be a top 10 center in the league. And I love how the entire argument spawns from the possibility of acquiring Carmelo f***ing Anthony while only adding Deng and a pick or two. Deng has NEGATIVE value. But who cares? Why nab the 26-year old arguably top 10 player and easily top 5 scorer in the league to pair with the up-and-coming Derrick Rose and start legitimate NBA Championship discussion? Who wants to do THAT? Of course, the Bulls are going to screw this up, and stupidly hold onto Noah, and then sign him for way too much. (How can you not if you refuse to trade him for CARMELO ANTHONY!?) And then repeat the cycle the Bulls have been on since Jordan left and overpay undeserving players and refuse the luxury tax. HOORAY!

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 10:37 AM) Best part of Modern Family was when the little boy asked his mom what happened at the Rose Boewl, but the dad thought he meant what happened to his wife not looking as good as she used to in the picture from the Rose Bowl. I found that just a bit odd, regardless, as Julie Bowen is mad hot.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 12:31 AM) ...when I finally saw my first Connery Bond film as a kid I couldn't believe anyone bought this old, bald guy as 007. Wut. In the 60s, Sean Connery was neither old, nor bald. In fact, he very much looked the part.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 06:40 PM) I guess Im the only one who liked Pierce Brosnan as Bond, imo he was able to be a badass but also capture the Bond charm like none other. Goldeneye rocked... those ones near the end just got bad though.

In my very early opinion, the two best new shows this year are "Boardwalk Empire" and "Terriers".

QUOTE (Cali @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 09:41 AM) Also, this show got Parks & rec's time slot, so it can go right to hell anyway... I could not agree more. I hate that they delayed their best program to debut this s***. We need more Ron Swanson.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 10:43 PM) I'm going to try the demos. I LOVED NBA Live and NBA Jam made me think about getting a Wii, but if Elite controls poorly, I'll probably go 2k11. The NBA 2k11 doesn't even include all the new controls, so I don't know why they released it. However, blocking shots has never been more fun. I slapped a Rondo layup clear across half-court with Bynum.

Sepinwall says "Outsourced" sucks. I guess we'll find out tonight.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 07:18 PM) If you want to be even sadder, check out what she looks like off set (courtesy wwtdd.com) Looks like the snosberries guy settled. This is quite a ridiculous post. You realize makeup/hair make a big difference. If you have a problem with what Christina Hendricks looks like in that photo, then you clearly do nothing but look at pics of hot chicks dolled up and have also met very few women in real life. I think she looks great for a "f*** it, im out doing s***" outfit.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 03:11 PM) Raising Hope was pretty good, hard to ask too much from a pilot but it showed potential. Running Wilde on the other hand has an uphill battle with it's goofy comedy and annoying little girl narrator, I also don't see Keri Russell bringing a damn thing to the table. Agreed. I don't think the girl will be narrating the entire series... I saw it very much as a ploy to introduce a lot of elements all at once. It'd be a thousand times better with Ron Howard narrating.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 23, 2010 -> 09:07 AM) I've turned around and began to really like Noah the last 2 seasons, especially with his development as a player and the energy he brings. However, I dont buy that the guy is worth that much money, I'd rather get a Melo for him while we can instead of signing him and turning him into a contract albatross and eventually an expiring contract that we cannot wait to get rid of. Signing a guy like Noah to that kind of cash would be identical to our signing Tyson Chandler for too much and then giving him away because he wasn't worth it.

So I've been giving "Bored to Death" a second chance, given the cast. I didn't bother with it last year because the pilot was so-so, but it's pretty damn funny. I'm on episode 4, and enjoying it.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 10:01 AM) Come on, we're both huge fans of the show. We both know that you never have any idea what is going to happen next. + a bajillionty

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 09:52 AM) Why not both? Hal Holbrook is way too good of an actor to waste him on 3 episodes with a total screen time of about 15 minutes. Gemma hinted at a possible retirement home in last night's episode. Old Hal might be good, but that storyline seems to have little left.

I may cry with happiness at the sight of my boys back on the ice against the Lightning tonight. I'm really hoping Kyle Beach is ready to make this roster and take over the role that Big Buff vacated.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 08:36 AM) Yeah, I am in the camp that sticks to the players in that offer. I don't want Noah included. We need his defense and rebounding if Gibson is in the deal. I would assume that Noah would replace Gibson in the deal, not be added. Personally, I'll drive Joakim to the airport. You don't snub opportunities to acquire 26-year old top 10 NBA players. Other high-energy, no-score centers will come available, more Carmelo Anthony's to pair with D-Rose will not.
