Spring Break. South Padre Island. My last 8 days were epic.

I'll be surprised if Rose doesn't score 40 in his next game.

Horrible, HORRIBLE loss.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 2, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) Bulls offense is horrible. Its as if they have no system and its just make it up as they go along. It's one game. They certainly didn't look like they had no system in the 1st half when they were blowing them out. They've just had a s*** 2nd half and Rose hasn't played all that well. Defense is killing them down the stretch too.

So Djokovic is now 12-0 on the season so far and won both the tournaments he's played in.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Mar 2, 2011 -> 04:11 PM) Thanks for the responses. I'm looking forward to following him and I'm hoping for big things. I'm always intrigued by a guy who has his kind of huge upside. I think we pretty much know what Teahen is, and Morel will likely never be a big power bat. Moreover, he's another right handed hitter. But adding a left handed bat of McPherson's potential is very intriguing, assuming that his potential is realized. I think the general consensus is that at age 30, if you haven't realized that potential yet.........

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 2, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) I think it all just depends on how we define a sports "moment". To me, the "moment" is not the passing of the puck the final minute (though that is some incredibly tense passing, seriously), but I'd say the moment is the clock ticking down to 0, fans and players going ballistic, and the realization that a massive underdog pulled off the impossible on the largest stage. If you were watching the game on television (I was not yet born) I'm sure the Al Michaels' call was a "moment" as well. So, Slav doesn't define all of the above as a "moment", while I'm sure Kaner's goal going in in overtime was a "moment". It's just a difference of terminology, I reckon. Personally, even though I wasn't alive, just watching tape... well, the "Miracle on Ice" was a remarkable sports moment if I've ever seen one. Ya I guess it comes down to defining the criteria of the moment. A celebration is a moment, sure, but the build up and everything that happened previously in the game and the hype before it is a huge factor. So I guess, in my eyes, the go ahead goal by Eruzione half way through the 3rd would be the moment.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Mar 2, 2011 -> 04:00 PM) I seriously don't mean to be a dick, but if you're going to describe the closing moments of that game as the puck "being passed around the ice," you might need to liven up your play-by-play. Peace. Thanks for the tip. Peace.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Mar 2, 2011 -> 03:28 PM) With all due respect, how old are you and have you ever actually seen it (or any other one goal hockey game)? The entire last minute of that game, the puck was being "passed around the ice" by the most formidable hockey team ever assembled up to that point, in a relentless rush to tie a 4-3 contest. The Americans finally managed to clear their zone with only about 7 seconds left. Up to that moment (actually most of the last ten minutes), the tension and pressure were unbelievable. You're going to discount all of that because the puck crossed the center red line at the end? 1. I'm 21. 2. Yes, I've seen it. 3. No, I've never seen any other one goal hockey games. Despite the fact that I am a hockey play-by-play guy and a Blackhawks fan.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Mar 2, 2011 -> 03:13 PM) I'm not sure I understand the distinction, especially because multiple posters referred specifically to the closing "moments" of that event. The closing moments of that event was the puck being passed around the ice. I dunno, just doesn't qualify to me.

Ugh, I knew people would say the Miracle on Ice. It was a game, not a moment, thats why it doesn't count. They celebrated a huge victory, like teams do all the time. The commentary made it legendary. But to each his own, I suppose. I do love that Michael Johnson 200m race as well. Those gold shoes were incredible and I do remember watching that.

Had a discussion earlier with a friend about the single most remarkable sporting moment you've ever seen. Something that absolutely astonished you. To me, and I've thought pretty hard about this, it's Usain Bolt breaking the world record in the 200m at the 2008 Olympics. Watching him accelerate through that turn and just smoke the rest of the pack absolutely blew my mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaGsBo_Ia0c

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 1, 2011 -> 10:45 AM) Wow, I was 3/10 Hahaha, wow. I got 2/10.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Mar 1, 2011 -> 12:47 AM) F**k it, it's a good day to die. Zero trans fats by the way. Here's what I just ate, a far healthier alternative: grilled cheese with cut up hot dog inside. Scrumtrulescent.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Mar 1, 2011 -> 12:05 AM) Take your favorite brand of cheese puffs and dip them in sour cream and onion dip, thank me later. Alternate idea: take your arteries and fill them with lard.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 11:39 PM) One of the worst beers I've ever had in my life. Ya, it was terrible. Had 3 gulps and left it on the bar. I cleaned them out of Newscastle and was unimpressed with the other selections. Should have gone with something else.

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 07:01 AM) I forgot to add Padre Brewing Company to my spring break recommendations. We usually will have appetizers upstairs on their deck. Any brews you recommend? I've heard they have a lot of tropical/fruity beers.

WOW. Hossa from Toews. Might be the biggest goal of the season so far.

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 09:24 PM) Twitter Twilight Jersey Shore Survivor and yours? I love both Twitter and the Jersey Shore. My latest love...WWE. The Rock is back. Undertaker is back. HHH is back. Ya. Keg + Wrestlemania party.

I hear Leddy has been playing really well, but I swear, every time I watch him, he makes a bunch of rookie mistakes.

Boy it sure looks like this team is hitting it's stride.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 03:05 AM) f*** it's already Spring Break time? Ya, snuck up on me too.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 04:21 PM) Mike Bibby has agreed to a buyout with the Wizards. He gave up his entire 2011 salary. There is speculation he'll wind up with the Heat. Bulls, Blazers and Celtics have also been rumored to be interested.
