G&T

And now Rose is hurt is slop time.

Hawks shot 51%. That's a giant clover up their ass.

Whatever. If they are going to get everything to fall then you are going to lose.

Refs aren't calling clear foul and Noah gets a T.

If Atlanta is going to hit these shots all series then you might as well quit.

If it wasn't for him, maybe this last decade wouldn't have featured 2 wars and these people who were "8-12 with no lasting memories" would not have had their friends go off and fight and some die instead of staying home and going to school and creating families. Having memories of family leaving for war is different from having a memory of 9/11 itself. The wars are collateral to the event. Celebrate the return of the soldiers. By the way, I'm not chastizing them for celebrating if it was honest celebration. But I think those who lost family members in 2001 are more solemn than the college students were.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 2, 2011 -> 01:07 PM) I understand your position, but like someone said earlier, how many of those kids on college campuses were actually out celebrating purposefully? I saw a lot of pictures from different areas of the US, and I didn't see a single picture (now, of course, I didn't see EVERY single one) of a college students crying or praying. Instead, I saw pictures of people standing on cars and climbing lightposts and streetlights. I'm not sure if its fortunate or unfortunate, but my school finished the semester this past Friday, so a lot of people were gone and there was no crazy outdoor celebration with fireworks. I understanding the desire to celebrate. Ya, it's a big deal. But how much does it really change? Fireworks and parties aren't going to bring back any of the people that were lost at Bin Laden's hands. Sure, celebrate all you want, but be mindful of the big picture and what you're portraying in your celebrations. Weren't most current college students about 8-12 years old when 9/11 occured? I doubt they have any real lasting memories of that day.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ May 2, 2011 -> 10:56 AM) Will we ever know the Navy Seal identities or are those guys top secret? I doubt they or their families want their names released for their own safety. It will likely be a while.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 02:04 AM) So Angelo and the Bears completely f***ed up the trade yesterday, and admitted as much, so there's no sense trying to pretend anything else happened. Not something you want to get a reputation for around the league. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/News/Articl...ade_Fiasco.aspx The Ravens did exact same thing in 2003. And they didn't even apologize for it. ESPN

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 12:30 PM) Totally agreed on the awesomeness of ED12 — and for just a couple of dollars more the ED15 is even better! I have never had it but the 21 year at $80 is a steal. I know the 23 year old will set you beck more than $300. I think the 15 year old was $40 or so. The 12 year was about $25.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 12:28 PM) I'm jealous, stuck here with nothing but plain Laird's 80 proof. What I really want is a bottle of Laird's Straight Bonded 100 proof. What was the proof on the 7.5 year? 80 proof.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 10:24 AM) Ive been avoiding beer here on campus because I know its gonna suck, and Im also trying to get in better shape. But I went to a really good BBQ place in Urbana that had a good collection of beers and had a Two Brothers Domain Dupage, not the best Ale Ive had but still really enjoyed it. Im going to have a hard time not drinking micro beers this summer :/ Two Brothers is a good brewery. The Domain Dupage I had was oxidized and tasted like a fine card board. Other stuff was good though. And don't be a beer snob in college. Too expensive. Drink the garbage in college when your body can handle it. Enjoy it! In other news, El Dorado 12 year is simple amazing. Rich caramel and molasses with a perfect warmth. Mix it, drink it straight, have it with a nice dessert. I found the 15 and 21 year old as well, but that's way too expensive for my blood. The 21 year was like $80+. Yikes.

I was cruising a liquour store today and stumbled on the Laird's Apple Brandy 7.5 year old. The real stuff. I know there is a 12 year old as well. The 7.5 year old was $25 so I passed (there was plenty sitting on the shelf and I have a bottle of Calvados that I need to get through). I was curious to try but I hate buying on impulse.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 10:56 AM) Maybe not a 10, since 10 would be perfection, but for sure a 9. She's got a beautiful smile and has a smoking body. She's a 10. And her sister is no slouch either.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 08:27 AM) Morning after the deadliest tornado outbreak in the U.S. in 25 years. Flip on the TV to see how bad things were now that the sun is up. NBC: Royal Wedding. ABC: Royal Wedding. CBS: Royal Wedding CNN: Obama's Birth Certificate MSNBC: Royal Wedding. Fox News: Commercial Break. The Weather Channel: America's finest broadcast news source. That's what happens when these stations spend tens of millions of dollars to set up shop there in anticipation. My wife was watching Entertainment Tonight last night and they had night vision cameras to record at night in LONDON. There were so many street lights that the night vision barely worked.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 03:28 PM) I guess I'm in the minority here. I think Seabs is a solid d man and the only one we have with any toughness. He can move the puck with one hand while knocking someone on their ass with the other. He had a bad stretch here, but he'll bounce back. The only concern I have are his concussions. Dude has been knocked around silly this year...so if that's the main idea behind moving him...then I think it's a valid concern. The way he was playing the last couple of games tells me he was still injured.

Corey Crawford is a beast. Down 1 after all that? That's a miracle itself.

Another awful pp. Corey Crawford is all alone in this one.

Wow, that was a Hawk's goal that was blown dead.

Hawks completely outplayed this period. The 2nd is Luongo's really bad period, so better get to him.

Hawks have had chances but just aren't in position to make plays so far.

Luongo is still giving up rebounds. 1 goal isn't deciding anything.

QUOTE (Felix @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 09:48 PM) And Rose is back in the game. If you're Indiana, how do you not attack him every time down the floor and try to get him a 5th? It will be easy. Go near him and they call a foul on Rose.

I have never seen so many charges called. Meanwhile 4 fouls for Boozer and Rose.

QUOTE (Felix @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 09:44 PM) Even as someone rooting for Indiana, that was a pretty bad sequence for the officials. They're awful on both sides.
