Going to my 1st game of the year, a victory would be nice.

I really like BA's piece. I've only got one tattoo. I've got an outline of the state of Illinois with the 4 stars from the Chicago flag inside of it on my forearm.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 23, 2009 -> 06:32 PM) because it's complete retread "selling your lifestyle back to you" garbage we had to deal with 10 years ago. He's Kid Rock. Eh, whatever...we'll just agree to disagree.

Making FT's would be nice too.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 23, 2009 -> 04:59 PM) Because like it or not some people represent things in music. And what this guy represents is so late 90s, so late-trend-out-of-place B.S. that anyone who has come to enjoy the fact that we killed the music industry will hate this kid. He is a front. so late 90s? late trend? Maybe it's just your market that he's not trying to reach. "I Love College" is one of the most requested song on our radio station here at Columbia College. So far his numbers have him at 70k sold. Not even counting digital units. Doesn't seem that out of place to me.... So how exactly is he a front?

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 23, 2009 -> 09:03 AM) Did I enjoy a few songs? Yes. But this guy really is full of s***. And the reason he is being rejected by the lot of us, is roth really is the last example of the music industry trying to push opinion. The guy has some incredibly embarrassing lyrics, and when you come out first with "I love college", you can f-off. Again, this is a guy having fun with rap. I don't think anyone was hyping this kid up to be the 2nd coming, although he has some songs that I think are damn good. The Greenhouse Effect mixtape is an example. His freestyle over "A Milli" is another one. I guess I don't see all the hate & why some people seem to hate the guy from one single.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 23, 2009 -> 01:56 PM) Simmons on Gordon: This sums up my thoughts exactly.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 22, 2009 -> 03:49 PM) I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to this review. It wasn't as funny as it could've been, almost sympathetic at points, but this line: "It's here where this entire internet-bubble beta-male rap game reveals how far up its own ass it is: Roth is defending himself against backlash, second-album "I've seen some s***"-style, before anyone cared enough to start it." was on point. Pitchfork reviews Asher Roth http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/12931-...he-bread-aisle/ Really a 2.4? This is exactly why I don't go to Pitchfork for opinions on anything rap/hip-hop. The album is about a 7.5 Just got back from seeing Wale. The man puts on an excellent show, made even better with a live band....his show is a MUST see for hip-hop fans.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 10:02 PM) Gordon being 6'3? That's what they say. I've been at a Bulls game by the tunnel and he's my height and I'm 6'0. Same, I ran into him at the Kanye concert last summer & I was slightly taller than he was & i'm 6'2. Rangercal, I don't think anyone underestimates Gordon's importance to the team. He's just not worth BIG money. Until he can create his own shot & chill out on the overdribbling...i'm not overpaying him anything. I really think the Bulls can find a cheaper option.

Yeah, I don't start my finals until the 1st week of May or so.

QUOTE (ozzfest @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 08:01 PM) I think it would be one of the bigger mistakes in the history of our franchise. Unless they intend to open cap space for LeBron, theres no reason to let this guy go. Bigger mistakes in the history of our franchise? We're talking about Ben Gordon here right? He has his big games, but i'm not ready to lock this guy up...especially after turning down 2 great deals.

QUOTE (NIUSox @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 03:01 PM) Rough stuff. I found out in third grade and it wasn't fun. I had a huge reaction. Hopefully, it's not as bad for you man. It's MUCH better after the doctor visit this morning. I did however miss both classes I had due to the Benadryl.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 01:34 PM) Get a daypass for the day you really want to be there. Unless you want to see it all, in that case you are SOL With my luck the acts I wanna see (Kings of Leon, Snoop Dogg, Asher Roth, TV on the Radio) will be on separate days.

Found out the hard way that i'm allergic to penicillin this morning.

Unless I can get tickets cheaper, I'll be skipping Lolla this year.

For the Bulls to win this series, I think they HAVE to win games 3 & 4.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 08:16 AM) So my stepdaughter has this bully, or whatever, who kicked her and called her ugly last week, and then he did it again the next day. She kicked him back but he kicked her again harder. They're in the 6th grade, I guess the kid is fat and pissed at the world or something and decided to take it out on her. I said, fine, next time he does it, lean into him and knee him in the crotch as hard as you can. She was worried about getting suspended, I said if she did, that's fine and she won't get in trouble at home. My dad had the same train of thought with me and my sister growing up. We were told to never go starting & picking fights, but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't stand up for ourselves either.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 04:15 AM) Youre saying that all these scheduled fights for 101 and 102 have more star power than Coleman/Bonnar? UFC 101 Lightweight Championship bout: B.J. Penn vs. Kenny Florian Light Heavyweight bout: Forrest Griffin vs. Thiago Silva Welterweight bout: Amir Sadollah vs. Johny Hendricks Middleweight bout: Ricardo Almeida vs. Kendall Grove Lightweight bout: Josh Neer vs. Kurt Pellegrino UFC 102 Heavyweight bout: Randy Couture vs. Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira Light Heavyweight bout: Matt Hamill vs. Brandon Vera Middleweight bout:Chris Leben vs. Jake Rosholt Heavyweight bout: Junior dos Santos vs. Justin McCully Chael Sonnen vs. Wilson Gouveia Each of those cards has atleast 2 fights that shouldnt see anything about an UFN event. To the casual fan yes. On 101 you've got 3 TUF winners, one of them making their debut. I'll give you Neer/Pellegrino. On 102, you've got 2 more popular TUF alum, dos Santos who's on the rise & i'll give you Sonnen/Gouveia.

QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 10:24 PM) I dont know if this was already mentioned, but I hadn't seen anything till just now.. Bobby Lashley and Stevie Richards debuted for TNA at the PPV tonight.. Oh and Foley won the TNA title What. The. f***. I shouldn't be surprised by the stuff TNA pulls..but I am.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 09:37 PM) A former 2 UFC tourney champ, former UFC heavyweight champ, former PRIDE champ deserves to be on a main card against a good fighter like Bonnar. Those two are way more deserving than half of the UFC 102 card and atleast 3 fights on the UFC 101 card. The accomplishments are great, but that was long ago. LONG ago. If he had star power still, then yes he should be on the main card. But he doesn't.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 05:06 PM) Meltzer said that at the press con Dana mentioned that he and Chuck had a deal that if he didn't KO Shogun he would retire, so we shall see... I still say he takes awhile off and comes back and fights lighter HWs in the HW division. Meltzer also said that Dana was furious at Silva about not pushing the fight last night. At this point I think they should go ahead with GSP/Silva at 185 Last night I was listening to Steve Cofield do his radio show after the fight & he was able to grab Dana. Dana said something along the lines that he was embarrassed & that he was heading to talk to Silva to figure out what the hell his deal is. He also said that if he could of he would of gotten up & left during the fight.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 07:14 PM) I think the suspensions are uncalled for anyway. He wasn't throwing at Abreu, and if anything, Abreu overreacted. The reason why the pitch was high and tight was because Beckett's release angle on the pitch got all messed up when he saw the umpire stop and call for time when he was in the middle of throwing. Hell, I'd suspend that umpire for calling time when a pitcher was in the process of throwing. If a batter asks for time, you don't need to grant it. The MLB has become too much of a pansy league. The umpires today need to let the players play the game, and the league has to stop overreacting over small crap like this. Nothing happened, no punches were thrown.... let the players play! If he didn't throw at Abreu, it sure didn't seem that way when he decided to approach the plate. You'd suspend the ump for calling time? Beckett's set up was unusually long during that play. Yeah the ump didn't have to grant time but he did. Being suspended? Kinda stupid. Kinda really stupid. I do think Beckett should of missed a start or two for his little act, hell even for heading to the plate to run his little mouth. If Abreu had even gone half that far he would of been thrown out the game & suspended.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 01:13 PM) Easily the worst title fight since Sylvia vs Arlovski 3. Silva was so uninterested that he was throwing punches to Leites' leg! hahaha, I've never seen that before. Can we just fast forward to UFC 100? Speaking of 100, Mark Coleman vs Bonnar is scheduled as a PRELIM! A UFC HOF'er on a prelim is ridicuilous. With the amount of s***ty fights on most cards because Dana White wants to force TUF fighters down our throats, you'd think this fight could've been scheduled for UFC 101 or 102 so it could be on the main card. Did you see Mark Coleman back in January? I have NO problem with him being on the prelim. If he puts on a good show, of course it'll make the PPV anyway.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 02:30 PM) Anyone watch SuperStars? Seemed like a decent card but I want to know if they are going to put a decent show every week or if it will just be the 2nd coming of Heat. I watched bits & pieces of it on Thursday. I totally didn't expect it to be a show that had top talent on it.
