QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 10, 2012 -> 10:00 PM) Right now I just feel that Lin is like a new pitcher who hasnt been scouted extremely hard. He definitely looks like he can be a solid PG, but once teams start to learn his tendencies, figure out what type of player he doesnt like to be guarded by, spend more time focusing on him on defense, I expect his superstardom to go down a little. I agree, but Lin is for real, he belongs in the NBA, no doubt about that.

The Republican base just doesn't like Mittens...it saddens me so.

Well deserved.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 9, 2012 -> 09:52 AM) Wow. Grantland actually had an entertaining article. That doesn't happen very often. I'm a sucker for Simmons and his basketball articles, I'm a dumba$$ that way...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 9, 2012 -> 08:17 AM) Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Jeremy Lin is 1st player since LeBron James in 2003 with 20+ points and 8+ assists in first two NBA starts. He's the Knicks' Victor Cruz. But unlike the Giants, the Knicks ain't going anywhere.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 03:48 PM) Obama's average favorability never dipped below 50%, Romney's favorability is around 30% today. Wow, it's that low? I doubt he gets that number anywhere near 50%, a cardboard box has more personality than Mittens.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 6, 2012 -> 06:57 PM) lol. Were Michael's Bulls this relentless when it came to waxing the league bottom-feeders? Jesus. These boys don't play around. When a lottery-bound team is on the schedule, they pounce. Even Miami has lost to the Bucks twice. 72-10 my friend, 72-10...

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 5, 2012 -> 09:39 PM) No. Eli was very good this year but he has been a very average qb throughout his career. I would kill for the Bears to have an avg QB with 2 SB wins under his belt...just saying.

Guess Eli wasn't f***ing around when he said he was an elite QB...talks s*** and backs it up, gotta respect that. I was 9 for 11 in playoffs picks, 6,000 bucks richer and pimping

That was a clear as day pass interference on the Pats and no whistle.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 5, 2012 -> 04:19 PM) Don't enjoy commercials the only time of the year that they're bearable, or else you're a corporate sheep. If I never watch another commercial in my life, I'd be a happy camper...if I want to be entertained, I'll watch a movie or a funny show if I want to laugh...

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Feb 5, 2012 -> 12:28 AM) Am I wrong to want to punch someone in the face when they say they only watch for the commercials? I mean, don't we spend the other 364 days a year avoiding them? I DVR everything so I never have to watch commercials. I pay for satellite radio. Why would one submit themselves to jackass advertising at all? If you want to see people acting like idiots for 30 seconds, go to YouTube. A few years ago, I paused the game for almost an hour so I could fast forward through the commercials, and Springsteen too. I just feel my braincells dying if I pay too much attention to crazy guy with Doritos teases dog to run into window. Is that really worth getting excited about? If you want to see Danica almost naked, she's posed provocatively many times. /rant I hope the Patriots get f***ing destroyed, and Brady gets his knee blown out in the 1st by Pierre-Paul. This I couldn't care less about the commercials, pre gamr hoopla or the s***ty half-time show, just let me watch the damn game and cut all the other crap out...people who care about the ads are corporate sheep. Giants 31 Pats 28

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 03:07 PM) I'd love for that free agent ?? to be Rasheed Wallace, there were talks of him wanting to play this season right? Would Przybilla work at PF next to Asik? I've always liked Sheed, even when he was a Piston, I wonder how much is left in the tank, could he give us at least a good 18 minutes per night? He is a loose canon but I like his passion and we could use a 3pt shooting big.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 10:10 AM) I'd imagine he was kidding and just wanted to drop the avocado joke. If that's the case, mea culpa.

The HAS law got to realize that when a hot adult woman approaches a teen male, that isn't a crime, that's a fantasy come true.

That was a pretty hard fail there, Balta.Lee kicked our ass in the Golden State game.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 06:13 PM) I'm not giving the Bulls credit for that. Half the league was gearing up for the free agent class of 2010. This organization dropped the ball multiple times in regards to KG, Gasol and to a lesser degree Kobe. They severely overrated guys like Hinrich, Gordon and even Deng. The '07 Bulls with Gasol in place of Gordon or Deng get to the finals. I believe the Bulls would not want to part with the package necessary to get Howard, even if it was possible. I agree with J4L, our biggest FA signing has been Boozer and no blockbuster trades to speak of... Even IF Howard is there for the taking, Gar-Pax won't pull the trigger but I wouldn't mind eating crow if they do snag Howard but it ain't happening.

Per Bill Simmons, Grantland... http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/752344...uestions-part-1

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 10:44 AM) But the coach admits that she's better than her brother, who's still on the team. Maybe it's because I played park district baseball, but I don't remember anyone being cut at those ages. That must suck to be that kid..."hey, your sister is better than you at baseball".

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 05:09 PM) And that's dumb. We saw what Kobe did. He called out the entire organization and they got him Gasol, Ariza, Artest (or World Peace. God that's so gay), etc. And two championships later, I'm sure Kobe doesn't regret it one bit. That was a different situation, the Lakers were bad, these Bulls are a legit title contender, whether or not they get it done this year, time will tell but if you go around b****ing and moaning to the press you need more help, you'll get what Howard is getting in Orlando...that team has quit on D12, it's obvious.

Derrick is never going to publicly recruit Howard, he would essentialy be throwing his team mates, most notably Noah under the bus...

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 12:40 AM) Apparently so, since most of those dunks were from the 90's, it just seems like a very stuck up mindset. There has been plenty of amazing dunks since then. I don't see anything special in that barkley dunk, since he didn't even dunk on anyone. The Kemp and Dr J dunk might have an argument. But I really think the Jordan dunk is more of a historically symbolism dunk (Jordan over Ewing), and a honor for him being the GOAT. Take out the names in that play, and there were quite a few facial dunks like that just from the past decade. But I haven't never seen a more powerful and athletic dunk, ever, like the dunk tonight. Not only did he dunk on Perkins, he took off from a long distance, jumped so high his head was above the rim, and his arm was fully extended, and threw down a thunderous dunk. the contortion of o his legs just made it more aesthetically pleasing. If you don't think this dunk can touch any of those dunk, you need to stop living in another era. The lead up to MJ's dunk is what makes it so amazing, he beats a double team, a double team trap in the corner and serves up a vicious facial to Ewing, he beats 4 different players on that dunk...Griffin's dunk is nowhere that impressive IMO. Ewing>>>>>Perkins

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 12:11 AM) Oh I agree. Just saying. They got a big road win against a very good Denver team last night and pretty much obliterated the Thunder tonight. If Paul can stay on the court from this point on, they're the best team, IMO, in that division with upside. Donald Sterling still owns them though, he'll find a way to f*** it up in the long run.
