QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 30, 2010 -> 11:10 PM) Paranormal Activity has been on my Netflix que forever as "Very Long Wait". WTF! It has to be my turn sometime. Where is it in the queue? I've found that if it's ranked 1, very long waits become much shorter. But no guarantees, and of course if you get a lot of movies from netflix, then you are screwed.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Jan 30, 2010 -> 02:37 PM) Free Krusty Burger for every U.S. gold medal. Mad props on that reference. I haven't seen that episode in ages.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 01:47 PM) In my mind his way of looking at OBP received credability because he had a pitching staff and steroid fueled OBP guys that became MVP winners thus their OBP became magnified along with their production via the steroids. I think Beane is good but to make a movie about what he has accomplished is stupid. I'd rather see a portrayal of how Tony LaRussa goes about his business. You know the guy Beane didn't need as a manager....I know, money was an issue. The A's have a history of success and there were some great people there before he got there. It was not like he did not have anyone to learn from and built the organization from scratch. So you don't care for Beane because of steroids, but you want to see how LaRussa goes about his business? uh huh...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 27, 2010 -> 10:38 AM) Star Wars also benefits from probably a 20% boost from the re-released special editions. I know I was in the audience for those. On that list, 1977 and 1999 were separated.

My fiancee's reaction is that it sounds like a feminine product.

QUOTE (Ranger @ Jan 26, 2010 -> 03:34 PM) . Were you wearing a hat today?

Matt Spiegal read an interesting stat. Of the last 10 ALCS champs, only 4 had a player start 100 games at DH and 2 were David Ortiz. So actually, the concept is perfectly acceptable. Of course, if you have the Yankees production at other places, the decision is much easier.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 26, 2010 -> 10:23 AM) So the Bears are being snubbed by guys who would rather sign with the Oakland Raiders now? The decision to keep Lovie on for a "one and done" and to can Ron Turner without having a successor in place is ridiculous. This team is an utter joke right now, and is going to go into next season having downgraded their OC. No one wants to sign a contract to play under a coach already on the hot seat. This team is screwed, and Jay must really be hating that forced trade. Mike Florio was just saying this on ESPN radio. No one wants their job to be dependent on the resurgence of Jay Cutler when there is no job security after this season. Bates was their target, and once he declined, everything went to hell. Anyone with the option of going to a team with a little more stability will take it even if they don't have a QB with Cutler's ability.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jan 24, 2010 -> 01:44 PM) to spin off what this guy was talking about, in the event this does happen and we are platooning Jim Jones and jones fails like a lot of you think he will (im not one of em i think he'll do well but) do the sox just go with... A. Thome all the time over B. Now that we resigned Castro Platoon Tyler Thome or C. you want Tyler to spend the season behind the plate to sharpen his skills and not have him DH so you go to a Jim Nix platoon or D. Give the job to Dayan assuming he has a good spring and early season and have him sit on the bench with thome and talk hitting so you go with Dayan Thome so A.Thome B.Tyler Thome C.Jim Nix D.Dayan Thome E.Jim Jones isnt gonna fail so this poll is pointless Maybe you should use "Jim Jones" as a nickname for Jones and Thome. Somehow, I don't see it catching on.

I'm excited that Apple is coming out with something new because it always cool. But I'll reserve judgment until we find out what this thing does.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 20, 2010 -> 11:37 AM) Good to hear, but there seems to be a glut of positive spin Sox stories out there. Danks circulation problem...check. Linebrink ready to go...check. Jones in great shape (no need for another DH)...check. Rios's swing is perfect after five swings...check. It's all good for now, and I'm looking forward to this season, but I'm not buying into all of the hype. I'll believe the hype when translates to wins in April. Yeah it's the pre-spring training hype machine. Everyone is in great shape and feel the best they have ever felt when aren't going through the grind of a season.

So "people of color" can't play fundamental basketball?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 20, 2010 -> 09:00 AM) With as fast as this settlement was put together, it might well be possible that one of the 2 sides made a stupid mistake in the contracts. Wouldn't matter. Good faith is an implied term.

Another 6.1 aftershock.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 19, 2010 -> 10:16 PM) Someone suggested that Fox should give Conan a $1 salary so that NBC has to pay as much as possible. I don't know what the language of the settlement is, but I can't imagine it will allow that to happen. If Conan gets another job it will be expected that he receives his market value, or takes a lower than market value offer in good faith. If he accepts a deliberately low ball number, NBC can sue and have their payments reduced by the FMV.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 17, 2010 -> 10:29 PM) What about Culver's? I think Fatburger takes the cake for me with the franchises/chains, but nothing beats a solid burger from a hole in the wall joint like McDivot's on Lagrange Rd... I completely forgot about Culvers (I don't live within 700 miles of one). That's easily the best I've had. Plus they have cheese curds. Awesome.

4:30 AM. eh? Were you thinking or hallucinating?

5 Guys is my favorite. But man, I do love a Red Robin Whiskey River Burger.

QUOTE (hogan873 @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 11:33 AM) I think it's Ghost Adventures that has the muscle-head guy who taunts the ghosts. They can be pretty humorous, but whay would you want to piss off a ghost...especially a purported evil entity? Because they don't exist and they know it. But as someone said, if you ask for a ghost to appear, why run away when something weird happens? It's a guilty pleasure of mine to watch those shows, actually. But the more I watch, the more convinced I am that ghosts don't exist.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 12, 2010 -> 09:24 PM) I just watched it, so much jabs at NBC I couldn't stop laughing. Leno is also taking jabs at NBC...for things that are his fault. It's unbearable.
