See avatar. The official plea has begun. Vlad at DH for the next 3-4 years... well, I'd be happy.

QUOTE (T R U @ Dec 29, 2009 -> 12:16 PM) the next game I will get will be Aliens Vs Predator in February.. Same here... then MLB 10.

If you get 4 shutouts in 10 starts you're doing something right. I'm actually pretty confident in the goaltending tandem going forward.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 29, 2009 -> 11:49 AM) Could the Bulls deal Deng for McGrady? If so, I'd do it. I think they could do so easily. Add-in Brad Miller's expiring contract and the cash is already getting close.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Dec 29, 2009 -> 10:27 AM) The drummer for Avenged Sevenfold died Yeah, posted this in the music thread shortly ago. He was a beast and a huge part of their sound, and this sucks big time.

This. Sucks.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 29, 2009 -> 09:53 AM) Vikings fans are calling for AP to be benched. idiots

That was so enjoyable to watch this team actually play like we expected at the beginning. The worst move of the offseason was obviously Orlando Pace. Now that Chris Williams is getting comfortable in his natural LT position, he's actually looking like a first rouner. Jared Allen got nothing done against him.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Dec 28, 2009 -> 04:41 PM) When you say beat the games in a week, approximately how many hours of gameplay would that come out to? I haven't been stuck to a single game everyday of the week in a loong time, but that's also because I don't have to time to do that. Modern Warfare 2 had about 4 hours of gameplay in it's mission mode. It varies, I'm just saying they won't keep you entertained forever (though my story is changing on MW2, the special ops missions and online are top notch).

Nice, I picked up Modern Warfare 2 on Saturday, and Best Buy dropped it to $39.99 today (that was quick). So I got $20 back and put it toward Uncharted so I'll get to check that out now. (The first one, I'll get the 2nd after that).

Vlad, pls.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Dec 28, 2009 -> 12:14 PM) He's my number one choice, too. I think he is perfect for the job. The one thing I would like to know is do players like playing for him, i.e. can he attract the big-time FAs this summer? I think he is itching to get out of the booth personally even though he is phenomenal at it, but he's a coach at heart like his dad and brother. After seeing him grab hold of a player's leg and be dragged around the court, I'm sure he has some rep within the league.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Dec 27, 2009 -> 11:14 PM) So I've got a PS3 and barely play games on it. It seems like I buy a game, play it for a couple weeks and then abandon it. Buy another one, same thing. It's like I've lost interest in playing games yet still like them... it's weird and hard to explain. This ever happen to anyone? The key is to only buy games with a lot of replayability. I have three games. Madden 10, NHL 10, and MW2 (yes, I caved). Madden 10 has the online franchise, which is phenomenal, and NHL 10 is the most fun game I've ever played. Modern Warfare 2 has such a great storyline it's fun to play more than once, but even if you tire jumping in and playing a quick game of capture the flag is always fun, too. The next game slated for purchase is MLB 10: The Show. I'd probably just keep enjoying fan updated rosters on MLB 09, but made the decision to sell it before baseball season ended a - to get the biggest return, and b - because I knew I'd want Gordon Beckham's face in the game for real. There are GREAT games to rent for a week and beat, or to purchase with the sole intent of eventually trading them in... these games also happen to retain their value if sold on eBay vs. trading them for pennies on the dollar at GameStop. Those games include Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, CoD 4: Modern Warfare, etc etc. In the history of gaming, there has never been a game to completely hold someone's interest forever, it just won't happen. If you pick and choose, however, you can do fine.

Anyone play Tiger Woods 10? (non Wii) I've always enjoyed these games, and I figure I'll have a giftcard to burn and wanted to know if they have online tournaments and s***.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 23, 2009 -> 06:15 PM) Which is why 2010 class is so vital to this team's future success. I was hoping we would at least not suck this year to help make a case for the FA to come here, to help justify this franchise. (and not just the whole large market ordeal) This rarely, at all, happens in the NBA as far as legit superstars potentially moving in one offseason. (not those Elton Brand, Baron Davis, etc.. type players) Those earlier teams overachieved under Scott Skyles, which kind of spoiled us to a degree IMO. Any smart FA would look at our coaching situation and GarPax's inability to build a contender and stay far, far away. There are too many other options. The 2010 situation is going to be eerily similar to begging FAs (T-Mac, Hill) to sign with us, but then having to throw money at E-Rob. Ugh. E-Rob.

Bulls Boxed in by Cheap Coaching Hire Great article.

Check out the video on this page (Quicktime). awesome.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Dec 23, 2009 -> 10:46 AM) And to further hijack the hockey thread, "Happy Festivus" to all. I'm going to air my grievances over all y'alls!

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 23, 2009 -> 01:26 AM) I am a new follower to the game which I've stated many times here. If I was Tony, Keith, Mike, Joe, etc.. I can understand and will take the ripping since they have been hockey fans for a long time. I gotta get used to some of the names past and present. This isn't SoxAce from 04-07 who mocked hockey fans (like yourself) and the game entirely, though I'm still not "big" on it. Hell prior to 2008, there were only a handful of hockey players I ever heard of. Gretzky, Orr and Lemieux. (Chelios/Roenick/Savard as far as Hawk players) Gerry. You are the king of s*** giving. I returned the gift of s***. Happy Holidays!

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 23, 2009 -> 12:21 AM) Ah my bad.. "Rob Blake" geez Steve give me a break. And actually it was Dan Boyle who said that. Rob Blake's been like one of the best offensive defensemen in the league for like 20 years. There is no giving one a break.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 23, 2009 -> 12:10 AM) No doubt that was a goalie win. Hell when Rob Drake, of the Sharks, says his own team got outplayed, (though they got the win) that is saying something. LOL at "Rob Drake"

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Dec 22, 2009 -> 09:42 PM) 10 ASS's and 15 TO's ASS's certainly is right.
