What off-season moves?

I do think Marquez doing what Javy did in 2008 is a huge stretch. Sure, Javy wasn't great, but he still k'd a ton and pitched a lot of innings, both things I don't think Marquez would do this year.

Just saw two Shia Labeouf movies for the first time, Transformers and Disturbia. Both were very good and better than I expected.

trifecta of blazin awesome bdays.

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 21, 2008 -> 05:53 PM) Actually, they're left from our Christmas party. (I won a free hotel stay and a DVD Player, woo!) That's awesome!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 09:17 AM) Going against the worst team in football I expected a ridiculous game by Brees. It wasn't bad but I would have expected at least 3 TDs against the Lions. I traded for LT a week before his bye. My top pick was Peterson. Thought LT would be a nice #2 especially after getting some added rest with the bye. Didn't really pan out. And for all the hype Marshall was getting early on he really wasn't a scoring machine. Sure he had a nice game but my opponents players were all getting TDs yesterday while my guys were just racking up yardage. That can be incredibly annoying. More annoying I'm sure was my opponent owning Pierre Thomas. He and I got together to watch that NO/Detroit matchup (ahhh, what fantasy football does for the NFL). The Saints scored 4 rushing touchdowns, so you'd think I would have been sunk. Unfortunately for him, they decided to use some dude I've never heard of (Bell #40) and of course "on the goodbye run" Deuce McAllister. I laughed and I laughed.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 09:14 AM) Jameer Nelson has a higher PER than Derrick Rose this season. Nelson's having a good season, but PER doesn't really matter much to me anymore. All one needs to see is that Ilgauskas has a higher PER than Kevin Garnett to realize how flawed the system is, then you take a gander and see names like Oden, Morrow, Hickson, and Speights above Derrick Rose.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 09:03 AM) So how many of those 14 TDs went to my supposed studs of Brees, LT, Adrian Peterson, Marshall, and Royal? 2!! As a Brees owner whom he helped to a championship, I believe you should retract him from that comment. Brees had both the touchdowns you speak of and had a decent day. Didn't Marshall put up like 12 points with a 120+ yard effort? You should complain about being the dude who took LT when all signs pointed to bad this year. Also, AP had an off-day, but never, EVER start two WR from the same team. Sorry to see you lost though, but your team was destined for failure!

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 12:43 AM) I'll be at the game tonight, Go Bears!!! Please win! Sell those tickets and keep your top two layers of skin safe from frostbite.

I think this thread needs to be closed.

Hey, I won the championship. $300

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 01:45 AM) Give me a f***ing break. If I wanted to talk with 14 year old nerds about the NBA, then I'd post at RealGM. Sorry, I don't make up fantasy trades and envision a team full of Tyrus Thomas clones. I don't need defensive PER to see that Ben Gordon can't play defense. The entire Bulls team can't play defense. He's top 3 on a s***ty defensive team, awesome. Let's give him a f***ing award. No matter what you choose to see, he still can't get around a f***ing screen to save his life. Maybe you should keep posting about the NBA at RealGm because obviously my eyes are deceiving me and I'm just making uninformed statements. BG4DPOY!!!!111!1!one Saying his defense is outstanding is not only a travesty, but an insult to players in NBA and throughout NBA history who have actually played outstanding defense and actually give a s*** about their teams. PER is quickly becoming something that should be ignored more than not. When Derrick Rose doesn't have the highest PER on our team, that's when I stop paying attention.

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 21, 2008 -> 09:13 PM) The Heat wouldn't trade Beasley. Oh, they would trade Beasley if it netted what they need.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 21, 2008 -> 08:57 PM) So have we fought on this winning streak at all? Eager has been chased around the ice the last few games to scrap and has declined each time. Bolland was chased off the ice last night after the game and nothing. I wonder if Q told them to lay off of the fights while they are still winning. Good teams don't need to fight. They score.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 01:37 AM) Not if Hughes reaches his potential. Most believe that potential to be a 4th starter at best anymore.

I heard about this on Friday or Saturday, and thought it was hilarious.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Dec 21, 2008 -> 02:45 PM) NHL 09 or NHL 2k9? I am going to get one of them, which one? I am leaning toward NHL 09 because of Be a Pro mode and I have seen it rated higher online. But what are your guys' opinions? NHL 09 no question.

The Dreamcast was awesome. Underrated... the first time I turned on NFL 2k on that system, I knew I was witnessing the next wave of video games. The players left tracks in the snow, you could see their breath. I still say the 2k series was way better than Madden. EA taking football and losing baseball killed my two favorite sports franchises (NFL 2k/MVP Baseball). I haven't found games I'm entirely happy with since. Those f***ing MLB 2k games are beyond fixable at this point, while MVP had PERFECT gameplay in 2005. It's a f***ing shame, I can only imagine how great MVP Baseball 2009 would be on any of the newer generation systems.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 19, 2008 -> 01:54 PM) Detroit is an excellent team obviously, especially at home, and the Sharks were due to play a stinker. Just a perfect storm last night which caused that outcome IMO. Agreed. You can't win 'em all.

He'd be the 2nd coolest Orlando we've had...

QUOTE (Soxy @ Dec 19, 2008 -> 11:37 AM) Me too. It was on my list, but I figured it wouldn't make it because it's such a "chick flick." I always argue this fact when people talk about Love Actually. I know it's not your position, but any dude friends that I have who say its a chick flick I just can't believe it. That movie is hilarious. Of course, I enjoy "Bridgette Jones' Diary" as well haha.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Dec 19, 2008 -> 12:30 PM) I want my 84 minutes back. That movie was complete crap. Yet another example of why IMDB movie ratings don't mean a thing.
