QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 26, 2010 -> 04:28 PM) They would have said the same thing about the last couple Presidents. She is one of the most high profile GOPers. If the media didn't pay attention to her, the conservatives would be screaming media bias for not paying attention to the GOP front runners. She has been polling double digits, about the same as everyone else. And do you really want to know what the VP is doing? Great, so why did everyone care so much about Dan Quayle?

Or the thousand or so people waiting outside to get in them.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 26, 2010 -> 02:27 PM) Are you suggesting the VP should be the second most covered person in America? One is actively looking for attention, has a large staff getting her name in front of the media, is the face of the Tea Party movement, and the front runner for the next nomination. One is trying not to over shadow the President and is in a position that the media has never really paid any attention to unless there is a scandal. List the important items on the VP's job description, and you will now why the VP just isn't news worthy unless they shoot a lawyer or have serious health problems. So the person who is sitting next to the President is worth less than some random reality show host who has no realistic shot at being President? That is just stupid.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 26, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) It was your comparison, my friend Meaning how is anything about what Sarah Palin does anywhere near comparable to what Joe Biden does? The obsession over her is tabloid ridiculous. I can't believe how people lap at her boots to follow what she is doing.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 26, 2010 -> 01:58 PM) Really? You're amazed? Again, she has her own reality show, has been sitting in the stands of the highest rated show on TV, has written two books, is a Fox News analyst, is extremely active in social media, is considered a front runner to run for President, etc. You're amazed at the amount of attention she gets? She isn't exactly trying to stay out of the spotlight. And one is the Vice President of the United States of America. How is that comparable again?

I'm just amazed how much more time is spent on what Palin is saying than what someone like Biden is saying.

Midnight at Toys R Us made home seem like a great idea.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 26, 2010 -> 01:01 PM) Agreed wholeheartedly here. I really want the Yankees to stay at that offer and see Jeter beg for more money from other teams only to have to come back to the Yankees with tail between his legs accepting that offer. 6 yrs/$150 million my ass. I'd start with the 3/45, and if they really asked for 6/150, I'd lower my offer to like 2/20.

Jeter apparently wants [cue drum roll] 6 years and $150 million

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 26, 2010 -> 07:30 AM) Not in thoses days. He was a skinny 6'4 1/2" guy. Derrick Rose is much stronger than a 23 year old MJ This is also 20 years later, where the average player is MUCH bigger.

Kids places were especially awful.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Nov 25, 2010 -> 01:29 PM) CP3 and Howard would probably be top 2 in the MVP race right now I'd say. The Hornets have lost 3 games so far without any substantial improvement on the talent front, that's down to CP3 and Monty Williams. Howard's shown more offensively this season and could average 25/12 with 3-4 blocks a game when it's all said and done. Rose still needs a lot of work defensively. It is the only weakness in his game right now. But being as short as he is, he is probably always going to have problems.

I'm going tonight to shop at 10pm, then I am done.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Nov 25, 2010 -> 01:36 PM) Linebrink has 1 year left at 4 or 5 million, right? If so, how do you see the Sox moving him? Bad contract for bad contract

GACK is also what she said...

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 25, 2010 -> 12:01 PM) And both of those gone would make me happy. But who is taking on Liney's contract? My bet is that we pull a bad contract for bad contract kind of deal.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Nov 25, 2010 -> 10:49 AM) We all know the Bulls had Jordan, Pippen and Rodman in the late 90's but that 3peat does not happen without Steve Kerr, no way! John Paxson says WTF?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 25, 2010 -> 10:45 AM) Its possible, but without Boozer, Rose is the scoring option. So when Boozer comes back, Rose's minutes, while they might not get cut, should be a little less strenuous. He's averaging 38.9 minutes a game and he's 22. Michael Jordan averaged at least 40 minutes a game for 4 years straight starting when he was 23 and only missed one game. Rose loves to play, and is anit-Lebron in the sense you'll never hear he's playing too much out of his mouth. I think DRose has as good of an attitude as any professional athlete. Jordan was also put together a little bigger then Rose.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 25, 2010 -> 10:11 AM) The Bullies are fun to watch. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for them to get used to Boozer, and while I believe Miami will be there at the end, they are far from invincible. Orlando has a nice roster, but in close games HackaHoward is a nice option. I think the grind of the season is going to take a toll on the Celtics. The Bulls have a shot. It wouldn't surprise me to see them add another scorer at the shooting guard position sometime during the season. I guess John Paxson wasn't such an idiot for drafting Joakim Noah. It wasn't too long ago many thought Spencer Hawes was a far better option. I remember watching the Chicago Tribune Live show and Kaplan would make cracks about Noah all the time, calling any of his effort fake hustle. If it was fake hustle it isn't anymore. He's a man. The one thing about the Bulls is they are going to have to start getting something from the second string. Guys are playing a ton of minutes right now. I'd be really afraid especially of Rose wearing down as the season goes on. At least with Boozer, you know help is coming for the front line. There isn't that in the backcourt. Hell Rose played just about 100 minutes the last two games of a back to back.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 25, 2010 -> 02:06 AM) Throw in Putz and Ill be happy, not estatic but that's a solid offseason. The bullpen is going to be very different next year. I'd bet on no Jenks and no Linebrink to start with.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 25, 2010 -> 09:41 AM) Rose turns it up a notch in the 4th quarter and carries the team on his back at times. A great stat from last night is that he had 13 points AFTER picking up his 5th foul.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 24, 2010 -> 11:50 PM) If I was LeBron I'd be kicking my own ass right now (if I cared about winning). He really dropped the f***ing ball on this one. This is a first place team, borderline championship contender WITHOUT him. I'm sure he is too busy blaming someone else for this.
