QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 2, 2005 -> 04:05 AM) I agree. Whenever I see Travolta in a movie, I always think "Vinnie Barbarino" and I lose all possibility of taking him seriously as an actor. I liked him in The General's Daughter.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 2, 2005 -> 08:03 AM) I finally got done reading this gem of a thread. I have one question, and people don't have to answer it. But was anyone who replied in this thread anything other than a teenage to 20's white male? (besides Soxy and Noam of course ) Ehem...

QUOTE(Molto @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 03:50 PM) I have DirecTV right now and like it, but it's in just one room. For the same price, Dish will put it in up to four rooms, and that includes Tivo. Plus, the bill will be included in the phone bill as it will be done through SBC, so one less bill to pay. We were ready to get it up this month, but after hearing that Comcast SportsNet won't be available till April, I held up and will install it for next month. From what I'm hearing, Dish network either sucks or is great, so I'm assuming it all depends on the signal. I'm on the South Side, a couple blocks from the Cell. Anybody who lives in the city that has Dish? We have DTVv in 5 rooms for what it was costing us for DN in 4 rooms and got 2 Tivo's. DN's customer service sucked royally and that's why we cancelled it. Nothing wrong with the service at all, and we've only had 1 interruption in service and that was when a hurricane was going on in Plainfield last summer.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) Relax. The draft is March 6th. Dan... I don't think I can make it Sunday either which is why I'm asking about the auto thing. I remember a few people did it like that last year.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2002530 Parties negotiate details, ABC News reports ESPN.com news services Kobe Bryant has agreed in principle to a settlement with the woman who accused him of sexual assault, sources told ABC News on Tuesday. The NBA star was scheduled to give a deposition Friday, but when that was postponed, speculation arose that a settlement was in the works. The parties were to meet and could have a signed agreement by the end of the week, ABC News reported. L. Lin Wood and John Clune, attorneys for the 20-year-old accuser, were going to question Bryant on Friday, but Wood said Monday that the session was called off after his team arrived in Orange County, Calif., for the meeting. The deposition -- where attorneys question a party to a lawsuit before trial, without a judge present -- would have been the first time Bryant had spoken under oath about what happened. Wood declined further comment. Clune and Bryant's lead attorney Pamela Mackey did not immediately return calls. "It sounds like somebody's talking numbers," said veteran plaintiff's attorney Mel Hewitt of Atlanta told The Associated Press on Monday. "We do that in a lot of cases. We'll push for the deposition knowing they don't want to talk to us and hopefully that makes somebody want to drag their checkbook out." He said the deposition might also have been postponed for a simpler reason, such as an illness. U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch previously refused to bar the woman's lawyers from asking Bryant about his sexual history. He said he would handle any objections to the questions afterward. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for mental injuries, humiliation and public scorn the woman said she has suffered since her June 2003 encounter with Bryant at the Vail-area resort where she worked. The woman, now married and pregnant, sued Bryant in Denver federal court last summer, three weeks before the criminal case against him in Eagle County collapsed when she decided she could not take part in a trial. Bryant, a married father of one, issued an apology but insisted the sex was consensual. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report. :rolly

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 12:40 PM) His name sometimes comes up when people speculate about Sox players on juice. He has some kind of mysterious hip injury that supposedly has required some 'help'. I would bet the farm that Paul's not using to help that hip. Albert suffers from the same thing and he didn't use roids because the doctors told him there was a chance that they would have an adverse effect and tear down the bone faster.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) I don't blame him either... I'm just glad that the Sox are coming around to him again. This is good to do. These things should help make amends...just like asking him to throw out the first pitch last year. Carlton doesn't do anything for Jerry.. he does it for the fans. There will be no "making amends" between Jerry and Carlton.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 09:19 AM) Steff must have me on ignore. No, sorry. I thought someone said there was, but I couldn't remember. I found a great site for the second one. http://www.saw2.com/ The message boards are creepy.. LOL

Ok.. so what's the verdict on those of us that don't have a clue who was on our team..??? Isn't the draft tomorrow..? What if I can't be there.. is that auto thing avaliable again?

Is there a Saw 2 in the works...?

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 08:53 AM) Granted he has done alot for the Sox, but wouldn't you wait till after he retires to put one up? Carlton is retired..

QUOTE(BridgeportHeather @ Feb 28, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) Whoever would say that absolutely hasn't a clue that Konerko's one of the most fan-friendly, team-friendly players Chicago has seen in a while, or wishes to tarnish his image. Oh... they have a clue.. and they are right. Remember Heather.. they are commenting on the Paul they know.. not the Paul that kisses babies on kids day. Paul is a prick.. as long as he does his job he can be the biggest one since Jordan when the camera's left the room.

QUOTE(BridgeportHeather @ Feb 28, 2005 -> 11:46 PM) Yikes, Steff...How big IS Ginger, and will there be any more growth??? LOL.. she looks like a monster next to Abby doesn't she. Abby is only 12 lbs though. Don't think Ginger's gonna get any bigger.. she's been hovering at 60lbs for the past 6 to 8 months.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 28, 2005 -> 11:40 PM) We figure about 50 lbs. That's pretty good size but not terribly huge. I bet you $50 you're off by a good 20 lbs. Ginger was 8 lbs when we got her (16 weeks old) and her paws weren't anywhere near the size of yours.. she's 63 lbs now

Yikes.. he's gonna be a big one Kap.. Good luck

Ginger and Abby

Don't think so. 2 different virus strains.

Ginger's been a great "pound puppy". It's kind of tough not knowing what exactly she is (breed) but for the most part she's been awesome with no problems. Watch the kitties though. While we had no issues when we brought Ginger home, since Abby joined the family they've become a bit rebellious. A couple accidents on the kitchen floor mainly to let us know who's the bosses.

QUOTE(Beastly @ Feb 28, 2005 -> 01:08 PM) ESPN Radio 1000 is not broadcasting the game today. Maybe because there isn't a game today..

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 04:46 PM) This is just a phenomenon I did a little bit of research on a while back. I'm currently studying psychology, so it interested me. Of course, I have no idea if this is the case for this situation. I just wanted to share that bit of information. Well..seeing as how her grandmother admitted the abuse I'd say that that isn't the case in this situation and bares no relevance.

I just got back from spending a few hours with her and her husband. She has an appointment with her therapist at 4 and she's going to talk stuff out with him. Her grandmother agreed to go with her to her Monday appointment whatever that's going to do, I don't know. There is no legal action she can take. It's been over 20 years since the incidents took place. She seems to be in a positive state. More than anything she just wanted to be sure she wasn't crazy and it did happen - I guess it being true is more theraputic than it being just a dream as crazy as that sounds. We both did a lot of crying. This is just something I simply don't understand, and don't think I ever will. All I know is that it took an awful lot of strength for her to confront her grandmother. I don't know if I would have that strength. Soxy thank you so much for the website. I was on it all night last night getting info and I did call them this morning. They were very helpful to me in dealing with her.
