  1. The reasons I believe hockey is not a great tv sport are: No natural breaks in the action to allow commercials. Football has change of possession, basketball has time outs, baseball has inning changes. Hockey just keeps going. Great in person, poor on TV. Hockey has 2 long intermissions. That is a lot of time to try and fill for TV. Baseball keeps rolling, basketball and football only one half. The puck is hard to follow on TV. And please don't try any enhancements, they don't work. The flow of action doesn't allow for any replays except for goals. It is difficult for tv to jump back and show a great save or check. Line changes happen at the blink of an eye. When tv is following the puck they can't show who just came on the ice. In person your peripheral vision sees the line change. Don't get me wrong, I love the sport. I just think it has a huge uphill battle for tv ratings and tv ratings is the key to economic security for any sport.
  2. He was found in the celler but thought he was in a penthouse.
  3. Two-thirds of U.S. teenagers who have had sexual relations wish they had waited longer, a new survey has found. The survey conducted for the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy found that the number of people who wish they had delayed sexual activity rose 4 percent from three years ago. Of the 2,000 people polled, 67 percent said they wished they had waited. The new data also determined that 85 percent of teens believe sex should occur only in long-term committed relationships. They should just get married

    Only until Eminem is cast to play Bond
  5. He was passing out suckers with log in directions to soxtalk and Vote For BEGOOD stickers
  6. Gash, Then why vote for yourself? Cubbie is pretty much a two way race and people got nominated not because we thought they were wrong, just because they seem to get picked on faster than others. Just watch next time beastly or BEGOOD start a thread.
  7. We need to add a category for next year.

    I am done. Took my last final a week ago.
  9. Head over to Sex, Lies and Politics and look up.
  10. How about the two Rocky trilogies Was the Matrix based on a book or books?
  11. Some of the other committee members mentioned you should be nom. I was confused a bit. witesoxfan should have been nominated also. I appologized a hundred times in a PM to him after I found the ommission. Glad you blew your cover. Everyone who wasn't nominted it's 99's fault
  12. You are obviously a well educated, brilliant conversationalist, I'm an certain you will be a great asset here in no time at all. Welcome aboard Have you seen the nice contest we are running in the Sex, Lies, and Politics area? Don't worry about not knowing everyone yet. I'm Texsox, you may see my name
  13. Would you like to drop out of the race and put your considerable influence behind my campaign? I'll name you V.P. of Fun
  14. I don't think they do afterwards

    What an idiot

    Dude I'm so wasted . . .
  16. Of course Dahl gets extra space.
  17. I'm surprised by the underated, but since underated is defined differently by everyone I guess I shouldn't be. Motherf*cking really has me surprised. I thought this was a baseball board. I think some voters tried and spread their votes around and recognize everyone. That is really cool. I'm happy to be close in a couple categories. We'll see how things go when the only post from work crowd has a chance to vote.
  18. The root of hockey's problem is it is 1000% better game in person than on tv. Football and Basketball are great tv sports. Better than in person. Baseball is down the middle. Good either way. Hockey has a problem encouraging more kids to play because of cost. I thought my gymnastics bills where high; then I talked to a friends whose kid played hockey. I believe it cost them over $4000 a year. Ice time, coaches, equipment, leqague fees etc. A grass roots appeal is starting. When McAllen, Texas can support a minor league hockey team you know there is hope. The Killer Bees are drawing over 4,000 per game and they now know a Zamboni from a Zapruder I've never been a fight fan. I could live without ever seeing another hockey fight. I still don't understand why you get 5 minutes in hockey and thrown out in football, baseball, and basketball. Something wrong with the sport. Those eurotrash guys need to be checked hard, not b**** slapped.
  19. I never visit the pix threads, and don't spend much time at the Sports Bar so someone who posts a lot there and not at SL&P and Pale Hose could be a stranger to me. I purposely looked for people who had a majority of their posts on each of the forums to help set the nominees.

    1000 posts

    . I better edit the rookie poll and remove your 1000 post ass
  21. Now they know why the county asked them to take a urine test
  22. What is interesting is how many people spend time in given forums. It showed in the nominations. I would mention some names to people and it was amazing that someone with 2000 posts wouldn't recognize the name of someone with 2000 posts.
  23. Someone was laughing at pa, ss2k4 and I always being linked, but you and BEGOOD could have stared in soxtalk's version of Stuck on You Looks like a big battle for the Cubbie!
