If anyone wants a game in NHL 10, my PS3 ID is CULaw. I also have NHL 09 if you haven't bought the new one yet.

I love this guy's work! Thanks for the link.

After last nights speech, Obama fell 3 points on Intrade, and McCain went up 3.7. That is one of the bigger one day movements I have seen in a while. I really don't know how much stock to put into the site in general, but it's an interesting way to get a feel for how others perceive events like last night.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 07:33 AM) I thought the same as well and hadn't had a chance to post this, I thought his speech last night was VERY well done. I thought his delivery was better than advertised (he seemed very genuine). However, in my opinion the material was very weak. Not a bad speech, but if it was better written it could have been really damn good. I will concede the end really surprised me and was quite strong.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 01:18 PM) I don't really see how people can't commend Bush for his leadership during September 11th. I understand people will make fun of him for the initial reaction (when he was in a Florida elementary school) but bottom line he was a big reason the US united together strongly during one of the tougher times our country has ever faced. In fact, I think long-term, Bush will go down as a president renown for doing some tremendous things, but also for doing some things that may look like epic disasters. What the hell did he do that any other president would not have? It's not like if it was Gore he would have cried on national TV saying its all over...we are screwed.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 11:17 PM) This Bolt dude is ridiculous. Here's a question for you all- who were/are you more impressed by, Phelps or Bolt? Bolts amazing no doubt, but he just sprints. Phelps dominated every swimming event in every style. To me, that would be like Bolt dominating sprints, hurdles, etc. I could be way off though. I never competed in either sport.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 03:59 PM) I wonder if China is keeping an eye on the Russia/georgia situation. Seeing how we haven't done a thing there, maybe this will give them the courage to go take back Tiawan, sinec they think it is there anyway. The problem in dealing with countries like Russia and China, is that they don't give a flying f*** what the 'world community' thinks about what they do. They will destroy hospitals, kill civilians, shoot at the press, whatever. And the 'world comminuty' doesn't hold them accountable for those actions, other than 'condemning their actions'. Ooooohhh, that's strong. Simply put, Russia/Georgia and China/Taiwan are two completely different situations in every front. The recent elections in Taiwan have greatly decreased tensions between the PRC and the ROC. As an example, there are now direct flights between China and Taiwan. China is not about to march into Taiwan because of some other completely unrelated conflict.

Reggie Miller. Take a bow, then take a loss. I would love a link to that clip by the way. I think I remember Pippen paying the favor back in Indy...

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 02:05 AM) Who knew the US was this good in volleyball? Geez. Both golds on the beach and both in the gold medal match indoor. Also, stupid interview with the men's coach after that great match. It was 2-0 US and they almost lost, came down to a couple points, but 2 of the 3 questions about what happened to his in-laws. That's great journalism. We've already heard this story a billion times, but it's more important than what was probably the match of the Olympics for volleyball. I was pissed at the line of questioning also. The gold medal is the story, f the human interest story (I'm sure the coach feels the same way). Anyway, great game. Now I'm gonna watch some power walking....

Craig Grebeck, Norberto Martin, Jeff Abbott, McKay Christensen, Jim Parque (does he count) Don't forget Mark Dalesandro. He came home to Chicago and put up MONSTER numbers...0 for 1; which was his last big league at bat.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 07:14 AM) I hope your enjoying yourself, when I was in Suzhou I stayed in the absolute crappiest hotel lol, the bathrooms were dirty and beds werent comfortable at all, but its the city of gardens and they had a nice little outside garden in the middle of it... Where did you stay. I'm at the Dong Wu. It's not bad, but its far from nice. I just wish I could find a bar without hookers.

I'm in Suzhou, China right now and its wild how crazy this country is going. Right at 8, everything, and I mean everything shut down. There are thousands of people on the streets watching the random TV's they can find (about 30 people watching a 18in rabbit ears TV). Fireworks going off everywhere. It's pretty amazing. Now the USA needs to put them back in the shops so I can buy some fake goods for the family.

Check out this scene from google maps (check the street view and look a little left to see the whole picture): http://tinyurl.com/5uowm7 Crazy... Here is a better link http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&...582211783477714

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 2, 2008 -> 09:59 AM) to be fair: I found the actual video fo the documentary and it looks liek the video was voiced over at the end... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_wKOgMNs0U @4:40 he says his "$h!t" comment, but the "worthless white ni**er" comment is inaudible. But if you turn it up ALL the way, it DOES sound like he used those words. Good find. I don't know if I am hearing it because that's what I expect to hear, but with headphones on and the volume all the way up it does sound like he says "worthless white...." I'm sure someone in the media has access to an audio team that can isolate the quote.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 03:49 PM) I think you can still get the real stuff in Prague. I did a couple shots of it while I was there. It's a freaking science fair for them to get it set up. There's sugar cubes and fire, way too much work. Anyway, I wasn't a big fan.

Pretty good article on ESPN insider about CQ. I don't know the rules about posting the insider stuff, so I will hold off until someone lets me know. Here is the link to others with insider accounts. http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/karabell/index

So its a 10% win for Clinton. This race is never going to end. Whatever event could extend the race seems almost a certainty to occur. So, what does Clinton need next to stay in the race, and where is a gambling site where I can bet on it happening?

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 22, 2008 -> 01:27 PM) i'm sure that 1/20th of 1% of the primary voters, who are Republicans and went to the trouble of registering Dem just to vote for Hillary Clinton, is going to make the difference. Per MSNBC "Interviews with voters as they left their polling places showed that nearly 1 in 10 had changed their party registrations in recent months to cast ballots in a primary open only to Democrats. About half had been registered Republicans, while the rest had been unaffiliated." Obviously it's not that scientific, but it seems to be much more than "1/20th of 1%." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24251043/

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 19, 2008 -> 04:25 PM) Padding the ol' post count. The Newsweek Poll has Obama up nearly 20 points (54 to 35). You would think the two polls would at least be close. Oy, polls are worthless. http://www.newsweek.com/id/132721

Great piece. Both are great and among my all-time favorites, but Griffey had the better video game.
