I'm not sure if I want to tell you that I love the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series or that I hate it. It's frustrating as hell.

I also really enjoyed "The Art of Fielding." One of the best books I read in 2011. The Road was really hard to read at the beginning but once I got into McCarthy's style it became a lot easier and I enjoyed it. Currently reading "Speaker for the Dead" by Orson Scott Card. Not as good as Ender's Game so far but still excellent.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 6, 2012 -> 04:15 PM) and it's population is increasing rather than decreasing. I do find it to be rather boring though. Shaq would disagree. He raves about Atlanta in his book.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 08:36 PM) Their next game? Saturday vs Bulls. They play the Bobcats tomorrow night.

I've been wondering for a while now why everyone hates Martz so much. Until Cutler went down this was the best Bears offense of my lifetime.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 06:49 PM) Didn't they just play the hawks? Yes, on Monday. 5 game stretch where 4 of the 5 are against the Bulls and Heat.

Seriously, wins over UNI and Mo St.(on the road) and we lost to SIU. How does that happen?

Waiting for my Xbox to be returned from repair. Have NBA 2k12 and Skyrim ready to go when I get it back.

Omer is one of the best in the league at going straight up to protect the rim. Whenever a guard goes into a paint against him they find the great wall of Turkey waiting for them.

This blows.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 2, 2012 -> 09:16 PM) But he's only done that once. And there's no, "Well, if CQ was healthy, he could've done it more than once." Because he's never healthy. Never has been and probably never will be. Look what happened to Jermaine Dye after '09. It's different circumstances, of course, but they're similiar players. JD couldn't even get a job. There's way more emphasis on speed and defense now. Yes there is, because players aren't hitting home runs at the rate they previously were. Carlos isn't exactly the slowest player in the world and he was at least average with the glove this past season. His injury problems really are what killed the Sox and his trade value I'd have to believe.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 2, 2012 -> 08:54 PM) I think the problem with the pro-CQ crowd is they don't realize it's 2012 and a different game now. Guys like CQ don't have as much value as they did a decade ago. The game of baseball has become more about speed, athleticism and versatility. You were not going to get some great package, at least on the surface, for somebody as one-dimensional, injury-prone (even going back to his Arizona days) and a year away from FA. Guys like CQ aren't really hard to come by. '08 was an outlier. Competent GMs aren't going to be fooled by that year. That was his "career" year. What you've seen the last three years from him is what he is. And again, in '12, that doesn't hold as much value. If he was under control for an extra year? Yes, I would've expected better. But that obviously wasn't the case. I'd think his value would go up compared to a decade ago when everyone was hitting 30 bombs a year.

The entire ISU team must have gotten super drunk last night.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 30, 2011 -> 08:10 PM) Under 2011 rules? You better believe it. Unless you think all these offensive records (team and individual) being broken the last 5 years or so is just coincidence. I don't think it's coincidence, but I believe the 2001 Ravens could hold down the Packers enough to for their lousy offense to score enough on GB's lousy defense.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 30, 2011 -> 08:01 PM) Doubtful. I like the Niner D overall. But their numbers are somewhat tainted by the fact they're in that god-awful division. The Packers and Saints feature two of the most prolific offenses in NFL history. Well according to you the 2001 Ravens wouldn't stand a chance against the Packers.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Dec 30, 2011 -> 06:03 PM) I know, I've seen the reviews. And I can honestly say I still only know 1 person who didn't agree. Reviews of comedies don't influence my opinions at all. The audience is at 59% which is right around that "ok" level. Which it was. That movie was OK.

I feel bad for Mamadou Seck. Poor guy hustles his ass off for that squad.

Suck on that UNI. Go Birds

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 28, 2011 -> 09:04 PM) InSU and Creighton lose, that took a whole day for the Valley to be f***ed up... That's about how it goes in valley play.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Dec 26, 2011 -> 02:25 PM) f*** everything about this. This is me, and I hate it. It's me too.

My Xbox is f***ed up just when I get NBA 2k12. Awesome.
