QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 08:37 AM) The line where he said he would be killing noob's all day just to take his rank from #3 to #1 had me laughing almost out of my chair. But yes, the ending wasn't really needed, you could think of so many better alternate endings. My son showed me that, I showed him the thread at MLB about the guy with his screen name tag at Soxfest who had water thrown on him. By the time we finished reading, we were falling off our chairs laughing.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 07:32 AM) It was funny until the end. Then it just became sad. :headshake When I had posted it originally I had to stop the animation about 3/4 through. Later I watched the whole thing and wish they hadn't of added that last scene. I guess there is some social commentary about video games and violence, but :headshake . 90% is funny s***. Especially if you have played any of the on-line games. I swear that describes 1/2 the guys.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 08:28 AM) Instead of having all separate areas for fantasy football, baseball, basketball, and random threads for Madden and MVP leagues, we put together one area for all of this. It is still in the Contest board, but the subforum will cover all fantasy sports, video game leagues and SIM leagues. Enjoy! I love it when you tidy up a bit.

Now that I have done a couple sigs, I am convinced even more, you are a graphics genius. Any chance of you creating a sig before our eyes? Possibly post step by step how and why you are doing each step? I am certain we would have a volunteer come up from the audience.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 07:40 AM) You know Kenny G is very popular in China, very, very popular. Believe me I know from 1st hand experience. It's gotta be the hair :headshake

Let me know what you think

What size is required to upload?

From reading the posts, the person comes off as a 12-14 year old, slightly retarded kid. My hunch is that role is being played by a smart, funny, guy in his 20s. Later he and some others mentioned they also added their post counts

Would it be hourly pay or a stipend for the season? Would Mel Kiper have a list of the best pay checks for student athletes? Would players be required to attend classes? Could the University offer payments or a scholarship not always both?

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jan 19, 2005 -> 11:34 PM) That's it Tex! I've had with your your spamming! I'm going to tell the admins. I am going to get you banned. Tell southsider he's really in tune with that I thought the ending ruined the comedy.

http://pwned.nl/ Turn down the sound around the kiddies and at work.

That thread is still going and it is funny. I was thinking "insider" there sounds a lot like "soxfeelgoodonmyfeet" here. It has got to be the same kid.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 19, 2005 -> 06:19 PM) I don't know if you are serious or not, but I think this is a great idea. Why should an institution of higher learning exploit athletes for a purpose that has nothing to do with higher learning. Do you think anyone would know who Miami, Nebraska, Florida State etc were if it wasn't for football? Are the players going there for the education? Hell no. Should there be a salary cap, some sort of a revenue sharing to keep a level playing field? Should each conference have a different plan? Should players be guaranteed 4 year contracts or year by year? Would the money be limited like the number of scholarships?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 19, 2005 -> 11:19 AM) Blah I got your email and no, I don't know who the guy is in the cow costume

QUOTE(Hall of Famer @ Jan 19, 2005 -> 05:51 PM) Ahh, you can never have enough poor, slow defensive rightfielders. Right field race? Forget the stop watch, being a calendar. It looks like a couple guys are going to be logging some serious sub time if things do not change. Like most teams, we are thin in spots. A couple injuries and it's 2004 Part 2

Opening Pandora's Box. Would every varsity athlete receive the same pay? Regardless of sport, regardless of skill? QBs get $1,500 per semester, tennis players $150? Would colleges be allowed to set their own wage scale? Perhaps Oklahoma is offering $1,000 per semester and Michigan only $750. If a kid is injured does he lose his pay? If you think the system is messed up now, wait until this is implimented. The current rules are too strict and non sensical. If you are on a band scholarship and want to play in a wedding band for pay, no problem, keep the pay and the scholarship. If you are a varsity golfer and want to work at a golf course for spending money, you lose. There are problems, but it could be a lot worse.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 19, 2005 -> 11:17 AM) It would be hard to argue against Clemens numbers, but who is Clemens going to compare himself to to justify that kind of money. None of the games top pitchers are making anywhere close to $22 mil If the Astros number is 49.9% correct and his is 50.1% correct he gets the dough. That's what I love about this process. Usually it's so close that really who cares? Now it this huge spread with each side taking poor positions. It is perhaps the biggest flaw in the player's contract. All or nothing, pick a number. Either side would win with a number between $15mil and $20mi. Instead they are both out of the range. From a PR standpoint, I'd rather be the Astros.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jan 19, 2005 -> 12:21 PM) I can seeGarland saying at a press conference after a horrible outing "Well if you compare it to the fifth starters of the past, it's not that bad of an outing. Plus if Podsednik had a 67 inch vertical, he could have caught that grand slam in the 3rd inning." Garland should stay in the fifth starter's spot all season long. If that means that off days cause someone to miss a start, I don't agree with that on 1/19/05. That could change, but I would rest our #3 or #4 before Garland. Which I guess by definition makes Garland a 3-4

That movie could go in two directions. As a poorly produced snuff film, I would be very sickened and pissed if I was the Bridge Commission that was duped. As a real look at suicide and what drove these people to jump from that bridge, it could be a powerful tool. I would not watch the first film, I would the second. How they handle the footage of the jumpers would tell me a lot. I wonder how many more would have jumped if they knew a suicide film was being shot?

That's the beauty of the internet. Plenty of real estate and plenty of sites for everyone. If a person can't find a site that reflects their views, they aren't trying too hard. This one is what it is and it seems to be working for most people. What do you miss most about College Station?
