MHizzle85

Thoughts on last night. I'll continue the hiding spoiler thread I suppose.

Picks for 100: Lesnar, TKO-2nd. I really like Mir, but I just don't know. I hope I'm proven wrong. GSP, TKO-4th. Hendo, TKO-1st Belcher, TKO-3rd Bonnar, TKO-2nd Miller, UD O'Brien, UD Grant, 1st Round Sub. Dollaway, TKO-1st Gugerty, 2nd Round Sub.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 01:47 AM) I dont ever want this thread to be on the third page again. I got drunk with MHizzle85 tonight. Good times. Good times indeed. The boys are back in town.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 09:31 PM) Stream Anyone? Download Sopcast & look up MMATV.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 01:58 PM) I can't wait for this card. Sick. I'm all heart for Mir but I think Brock's gonna win. GSP all the way too. Did you guys hear of Arena Sports Bar and Grill in Elhmurst, has anyone been there? I'm gonna try to watch the even over there tomorrow, just not sure what time I should get there. I usually head to The Foundry over in the Fox Valley area. It usually depends on who's fighting. Since this card has some pretty big names I wouldn't get there any later than 7:30...that's just my guess.

I say we take 2 out of 3 this weekend. I'd like that very much.

Danks v. Blackburn.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 10:37 PM) Why? We already have the defensive, rebounding, hustle guy in Noah. We need someone that can score. That is where Bosh comes in. That & Lee would cost more money.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 10:39 PM) The ASG is supposed to be the best players from the current year. Your argument is basically the reason why guys like Hamilton get elected to the game. Give me Hamilton over _____ any day of the week (except for the time between opening day and today). Hamilton's a different case. He's a feel good story that the fans clinged onto. If Hill was having a much better year than Kinsler than he'd have my vote. But they're having similar years, where the only big difference is batting average.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 08:46 PM) Um, he is. All their stats are pretty similar, but the nod goes to Hill because of the BA 40+ points better than Kinsler's. Plus, Kinsler plays half of his games in the bandbox called the ball park in Arlington. Hill plays half of his in the joke of a baseball field called Rogers Centre which isn't the greatest hitters park (I call it a joke because playing baseball on anything besides grass is a joke). Long term, I'd take Kinsler as I think he's the better player with more upside, but this year, at least for the 1st half, the nod goes to Hill. So just having a better BA makes a better year? Missed that memo.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 08:43 PM) Hill has a slightly higher OPS, same number of HR's, more RBI's, much higher batting average, and doesn't get to play in Arlington. Kinsler has more SB's. It's a weak argument but Hill also has around 40 more AB's...Hill's having a career year yeah. But, give me Kinsler any day of the week.

Both of my parents were in the army. My dad seemed not to mind it, my mom kinda wishes that she never went through with it but doesn't regret it. With that being said, my mom has never really demanded that I do anything with my life...the one thing she did request though is that I don't go into the armed forces...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 06:46 PM) But as a fan don't you want a team capable of winning more games? No, I like Boozer on this team. I really do. I just don't like the fact that we'd be giving up a good defender/back up PG. Tyrus I won't miss too much. Well other than the time I ran into him at Woodfield Mall. But still. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 08:35 PM) Random question on a different subject. Does anyone out there look at all the money Dallas has spent this offseason and think "There's a legit title contender"? Not until they actually do it. Marion was a good add but can they hang with the other elite teams in the West?

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 08:12 PM) If you mean Aaron Hill, he'll be at the game. If you mean Ian Kinsler, he wasn't having the best year, but should be in the game over Pedroia. Kinsler has fizzled since his red hot start. You say that as if Aaron Hill is having that much better of a year than Kinsler.

I like that the deal gives us more money to work with for 2010. But as a fan, I hate that we would lose Kirk AND Tyrus.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 05:40 PM) Shane Victorino and Brandon Inge were selected as the final All-Stars by the fan vote. So the 2B having the best year in the AL gets left at home... Hooray for all-star voting.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 12:47 PM) That's exciting. I LOVE Cigano! It'll be great seeing him beat up on another name and get some more recognition. He's the best HW prospect in the UFC right now IMO, if you don't count Carwin as a prospect. That HW division just keeps getting more refreshing. Sucks they missed out on Roger Gracie (how awesome would it have been if he'd gotten a sub win at UFC 100?) but they still have a shot at Lashley, who needs to up his competition and fight someone who he can't just take down at will, or at least someone who is dangerous off his back if it does go to the ground. I think you'll see Lashley in Strikeforce before the UFC. It just makes more sense for him.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 09:45 PM) What is weird about all this is how upset all the black people were over this when it was painfully obvious that Michael Jackson wanted NOTHING to do with being black. He turned himself white, he married white, and his kids are white.. I dunno I wouldn't exactly say he wanted NOTHING to do with being white...

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 11:43 AM) In what world is that logic? You're own little dreamland? - He had sleepovers with many little boys. - Only two claimed he molested them. Conclusion: They must be liars and he must be innocent b/c obviously he would have molested more than just them. Wow, talk about someone having their head up their ass. Just because you say it is logic, doesn't mean it is. And you were trying to compare him to a shoe collector and serial killer. Hey guess what, serial killers/molestors see hundreds of people a day who they don't kill/molest. (Does that mean they really arent b/c they let so many people "go"?) I don't pretend to know how their mind works or functions. But claiming that since he was around X number of little boys and only 2 claimed molestation it must be a lie is asinine. Who knows what people are thinking when they do things they do. But I have a hard time believing a man who often shares beds with little boys and then shells out tens of millions of dollars of hush money if he doesnt have something to hide. The blind defense of this man is disturbing, and it's people like you who make the rest of us laugh. Well smart guy, I know serial killers don't kill everyone they see but they definitely kill more than one. And if he molested more than one child, why was there no evidence of such. I mean they did go through his house correct? In fact with the first kid, why was his father quoted as saying "If I go through with this, I win big time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever...Michael's career will be over." I don't know about you, but I would be worried about my child instead of ending someone's career. The blind defense of hearsay is why I laugh. QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 12:53 PM) And if you believe its normal for strange men to sleep in the bed with children that are not their own, then you have your head firmly up your ass. Here is a little tidbit, victims of sexual abuse especially children, don't exactly come forward in droves. If you want to see how that works lets review the Catholic Church sex scandal. Are we to believe that kids only recently started to get molested by priests. Oh, no it was actually in the 60s, 70s and 80s when this happened a lot. So why didn't it come out then. Maybe intimidation, maybe shame, maybe fear of confronting someone who is trusted. I don't see too many people thinking its normal for the 45 year old single loner down the block with the comic books, and video games to host sleep overs for the neighborhood kids. But then again, he can't sing and dance and people don't own his albums. Celebrate his talent sure. But there is enough to say something is rotten in Denmark. I never said it was normal, in fact earlier in this thread I'm pretty sure he never should of had children at his house period. Also, but eventually the stories about the church came out correct? Hell, you mean to tell me that in 16 years that no one else has come out?

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 10:16 AM) I'm glad you know how that process works all the time. No it's not actually. Not at all. The defense this guy has been getting from people is just sickening to me. Celebrate his music, fine. He was a musical genius. Don't celebrate the person. Listen, it's logic. You honestly believe he only molested 2 children? Or that if he did more no one else wanted to come forward? You've really got your head up your ass if you believe so. Tell me how my logic is wrong instead of saying that it's not. The way people go and blindly trash on this man's name is sickening & somewhat funny to me. No one has any facts or evidence of anything, yet all you hear is "HE'S A MOLESTOR!!!!!!!!1!!1" You people make me laugh.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 09:40 PM) You've really taken up the token African American response to this issue. And I dont give a s*** if that sounds racist. Everyone hears and reads the same things I do. When it comes to famous black artists or celebrities, it becomes an issue of white people (particularly the conservative media) unfairly hating them just as much as it is black people blindly defending them. It's unfair to criticize coverage of Jackson, an enormous global icon in music, because of his past; just as it's blind to sit here and play that lame angle of suggesting he was never proven to have molested anyone in a court of law. As if that really is the definitive proof of guilt and innocence. Just like the lame angle of race that you just used? Personally I know white, latin & asian people as well as black people who believe the same. The fact that these parents were fine with just taking some money in a settlement should raise a flag...if it's my kid, I want that f***er in jail. Period. Also, when stories come out about someone molesting them, more people come out & say so. You mean to tell me that if he had all of these kids in his house, that he only molested 2? Give me a f***in' break. That's like saying a serial killer only kills one person or a guy who collects sneakers only has 2 pairs of Air Jordans. Sounds like sometimes white people blindly defend their opinions too...

I'm not gonna look through the entire 19 pages but I kinda like the trade. We've got a potential replacement for Dotel for next year and a couple more years after that, or sooner if Dotel is traded by the deadline. Besides who knows if Allen would of been as good as some of us have hyped.

To those of you who claim that Michael Jackson molested all these children & was a child predator, when was he convicted & when was it even proven that he did all of these things? Oh, wait... Yeah, he shouldn't of had sleepovers with children. But have your childhood basically taken away from you & let's see how you'll turn out.

I too would like to see factions back in wrestling but with the WWE being all bout "entertainment" I doubt we see anything like that. ROH seems to do a pretty good job with creating stables & managers...Vinny Mac could always rip the blueprint off.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 7, 2009 -> 06:14 PM) Darko Milicic over Carmelo Anthony. It was a mistake, but who knows if Carmelo would of gotten PT his rookie year under Larry Brown.
