I'm sure you liberals agree with Scalia's opinion on this one (I do for sure). http://www2.bloomberglaw.com/public/deskto..._2013_Court_Opi

It's been ok, I wouldn't call it awesome. It's certainly not the best of the series.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 09:45 PM) I love this season. One of the stronger ones IMO. You think? I keep seeing all of the old clips during the commercials and think "man, that's when the show was great." I feel like this season has been a big retread on a lot of themes/plot lines we've already been through.

China's economy will collapse before we have to worry about their military.

So many missed opportunities in the third.

I nearly cried seeing those killer whales kill that humpback whale baby (calf?). Poor mom just keeps on swimming, all by herself.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 03:04 PM) God I hope you're right. I'll go the "team that has the best player wins" route. Heat in 7. Bosh has a "good" series (can't be worse unless he's hurt?), Wade continues to be garbage and LeBron wins his second FMVP in a row and ESPN starts touting him as GOAT. That would be terrible. Here's a more interesting argument: how much higher in the list of greats would Duncan rise if he manages to win another title? Or if he wins another title AND wins finals MVP (unlikely, but possible)?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 02:20 PM) 3 out of Miami's 4 victories were by double figures and Indiana never had a chance in any of those games. They definitely didn't outplay Miami in that series. Only 2 of of those games were real blow outs though. And Indiana had one of their own. The rest were tight until the final minutes.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 01:49 PM) I totally disagree. If Indy wins gm 1, it doesn't necessarily mean Indy would've won gm 2 like it played out. Miami always had control of the series, either one game up or tied and Indy's best chance at taking control, gm3 going home tied 1-1, they got destroyed. I never had the impression Indy could win this series, TBH. Miami outplayed them when it counted, no doubt about that, but it wasn't a sweep. Indiana had their chance and blew it. I just don't think, given how Indiana and Chicago will be next season, that Miami is a shoe-in for the Finals every year.

Flight was a great movie for alcoholics. Not so great for everyone else. John Goodman was hilarious though.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 3, 2013 -> 10:59 PM) Well that sucked but it's not like I really believed the Pacers would pull it off, a few thoughts... 1. Every time I see Pat Riley's mug I want to punch my TV, it stills irks me that he and Wade have gotten away with breaking the rules the way they landed LeBron. 2. I can't see the Spurs beating LeBron this time around. They punked him in his first Finals but this LeBron > 07 LeBron. Plus, the Spurs are a veteran team which is a nice way to call them old. 3. Get used to seeing LeBron in the Finals over and over again. Wade and Bosh played like garbage most of this series but it didn't matter, LBJ willed them to victory. Nobody is beating this LeBron until he declines and who knows when that'll happen. I know a lot of people here give J4L a hard time for his predictions but he nailed it on the head when he was telling us back when the Big 3 got together that nobody was beating Miami in the near future. I was a skeptic so I gotta give him props. LBJ gonna destroy the NBA like Shaq and MJ before him. They were an inbounds play away from not making the Finals this year. Let's not go overboard.

wow, what a game

Pacers should be up 15 if West made all of those missed bunnies

Anderson should be ejected. How is that a tech on hansbrough? Nba fail.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 30, 2013 -> 04:37 PM) There was no reason for him to make that sacrifice. He could have escaped. That is why it was silly, to me. Didn't he want to take out the "leader" zombie so the girl and the kid could escape? It's been a few years.

Meh, it was cliche, i'll give you that, but the movie was griping throughout and highly entertaining. The entire time you're thinking "oh s***, what's going to happen next." Very few movies rope you in like that. Sometimes cliche can be tacky, I don't think that's the case with that movie. Edit: how was the ending any different from other superheroy type movies like Batman, the Avengers, Iron Man, etc. At the end of the day the good guy wins, but so what? The journey to get there was still great.

I Am Legend was great. What was wrong with the ending? That scene with the dog almost had me bawling.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 30, 2013 -> 12:46 PM) They get a free look at how the navy operates every time the navy holds an exercise. Looking at pictures via satellite and going through the actual planning/briefing are pretty different things though.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 30, 2013 -> 11:50 AM) Probably because unlike the articles insinuation, the US and China have no real incentive to actually go to war with each other. Thus you invite them instead of creating some sort of stupid international incident when China gets upset they werent invited to play imaginary war with everyone else. Or maybe its a treat for China playing well with others and trying to further isolate NK. They have no real incentive but the "war" has already begun in the cyber world. And they continue building their military in an effort to match US capabilities - whether it be hacking into our defense sytems and stealing secrets or paying Pakistan to check out our stealth helicopter after the Bin Laden raid. I just don't see a benefit here. At best we're saying thanks, but we're also providing them a free look into how our Navy operates.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 30, 2013 -> 11:58 AM) Jones not having Ill on his final list hints to me that Okafor is not seriously considering them. I bet all of them go to different schools. Sometimes these guys say they want to team up, and then they start taking their visits and they ended up liking different schools/coaches. Rock what's the shelf life on Matta? Didn't I read like 2 seasons ago that he had some really painful back/leg condition? I remember thinking he only had a few seasons left and he all but admitted as much. Maybe I remember it wrong though.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 30, 2013 -> 11:45 AM) But we only have 2 scholarships open for 2014. See ya Tate! Have fun at Bradley where you should have gone to begin with!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 30, 2013 -> 11:28 AM) So in real life terms, Lebron was fined 50 cents Totally unjust because he doesn't flop. He doesn't need to. He plays HIS game.

Someone at the league office reads the internet: http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2013/story...-fined-flopping

http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commen...0,7560801.story Not really sure why we'd be doing this. Is this a ploy by the DoD to see how much better the Chinese navy is getting? Is it really just to play nice and hope to win their affections?

QUOTE (Brian @ May 30, 2013 -> 08:43 AM) I thought about that afterwards. I don't own a gun but if that dog ran up on the wrong person, I couldve seen that happening and rightfully so. I didn't know if the dog was going to jump on me after I picked him up. We reported it to Animal Control and talked to the neighbor after they got home from work. They were apologetic and said they need to get a fence. Duh. We're not going to make a big deal out of it because I'm moving soon anyway. Just wanted them to be aware so it doesn't happen again. Luckily my dog and I are both fine. I only have a scratch and that was from my dog when I picked him up. Getting it on record is key because if that dog does hurt someone later the owner can actually be held liable for it. Sometimes the excuse "it's never happened before" works. Not much else in the world that annoys me more than a terrible dog owner. We used to take our boston terrier to the dog parks in the city and there would ALWAYS be the moron with a large breed that thinks his dog is just playing around when it's clearly trying to be dominant on little dogs.
