QUOTE(SoxAce @ Jan 7, 2008 -> 03:00 PM) I guess I'll thank this board for me meeting a couple of nutcase posters here, one with "iconic" status Hopefully when Andrew (DBAH0) comes to the U.S., I'll buy him a drink and he can tell me how this Micah guy we have is so great. Get the video tape Willie, Katy 4 eva. Remember to watch your Steff and keep Nuke-ing Cleveland. Some crazy memories I tell ya. Goal for 2008, get Dougly laid. Pansy! ... I love SoxTalk. Good people, overall, and good analysis. Great for breaking news. Good guy owning it. What else can I say?

In less than four minutes, someone edited the midget's Wikipedia page to say he was going to the Rumble. I only checked because I said, "Are there really people like that?" And there are. That's f***ed up. "Oh, wrestling! Let's type it into Wikipedia!" But who am I to talk? "Oh, McMahon's son/terrible gimmick and Mick Foley win -- I wonder if there are people who are just waiting to update Wikipedia with this s***?" Fail.

Yes, he can tape it. Only, I think, eleven tapes require both parties to consent; everywhere else, only one person can consent to taping it. McNamee emails Clemens and says, "My boy is sick". His boy is very sick. Cleemens calls, they talk. McNamee begs Clemens, essentially, to tell him to take it back; Clemens dodges it. McNamee at one point says he wishes they could talk without any fears (I'm on a cellphone); Clemens says, "I ain't got no one on the line". Big sleazy conversation. McNamee comes off, to me, as someone who didn't want to turn Clemens in but had to to save his ass. Clemens is an asshole for taping it and McNamee an idiot for not knowing he would. f***ed up situation all over.

What's this I hear about him getting out early if he undergoes drug treatment?

On the Jaguars site. How cute.

I am expecting NE to blow Jacksonville out. I know everyone thinks it'll be close and everyone's mother thinks Jacksonville will "expose" New England. I just think NE will stuff the box, make the QB throw, and the truth is that he's not so good. Can their defense contain NE? Probably not. But I am interested to see what happens. I'm looking forward to that game.

QUOTE(ptatc @ Jan 7, 2008 -> 09:17 AM) The problem with this statement is that lidocaine is a local anesthetic. So, unless the pain was in his rear end, where the injection was given, it won't help anything else. LOL ... Roger Clemens had better be careful. Don't know if I've expressed it here before, but all this lying could blow up heavily in his face. He doesn't want to wind up, in five years, looking like Pete Rose and being Pete Rose. It's possible, too, and just as probable as it was with Rose a couple of years before Rose was busted by Dowd. (That is: it's not that probable but if Clemens isn't careful...he's going to take himself down.)

There's no one left to believe in.

Clemens and Wallace are good friends and Wallace admires him greatly. I didn't see it -- would like to, or read a transcript.

Fun game to be at.

One game at a time.

These are the Jaguars that are going to beat New England?

Was just about to post that Jacksonville just isn't all that good and they've been extremely overrated when the also overrated Steelers give up a 96 yard return. I still prefer Pittsburgh in this game but I'm more interested in next week's matchups.

Some AFL s***.

Game got exciting real fast.

Let's go Hawks!

The WSI guy also said it might happen by the end of the month. Would be nice if it happened. Can't see it happening. Am not going to hold my breath on it.

I'm not sure it says what you think it says. We have some quality players and intriguing prospects. Nobody denies that. We also have a very limited amount of depth in the minors. That, too, is hard to deny.

I know Beane is a popular target at SoxTalk, but come on -- nobody has anything nice to say about him, or in defense? Keith? Nobody?

Swisher will be a beast batting second, in front of Thome.

What's this I hear about Mayweather entering MMA? And what's this I hear about Old Mayweather thinking... well,

I'd like to express my congratulations to the Coach of the Year.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jan 3, 2008 -> 01:15 PM) One of Konerko, Dye or Thome HAVE to go, or the Quentin trade looks extremely foolish -- neither Quentin nor Swisher are CFers. Swisher playing CF last year was more out of necessity, as I'm pretty sure Kotsay had some nagging injuries. Cripes... we're going for it in 2008. This is f***ing ridiculous. At least we'll have something to talk about.

We have a new Centerfielder.

Gio/Sweeney/more? Hmm. Let's wait and see.
