QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 10, 2014 -> 12:14 PM) Would he profile as more of a big/power RB? He better be able to break tackles being that slow.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 9, 2014 -> 07:49 PM) Pure run stuffer offers nothing as a pass rusher. This guy could of been picked Saturday. I'm now offically depressed...

I just noticed Tex posted this on Sept of last year, lol. I wonder if he went through with it.

I had surgery a couple of months ago, I would do it again. I've worn glasses or contacts since I was about 12 years old, I'm in my mid 40s now and it's just so awesome to wake up to perfect vision. My eyesight was pretty bad too and now I don't need to worry about contacts or glasses. The price of the surgery was pretty cheap too, it was 5,500 pesos, which is about $440 US dollars, had my surgery done in San Luis Potosi, Mexico with a very reputable eye doctor. On the day of the surgery, we drove from Queretaro to SLP (about a two hour drive), got there around 9 in the morning, they ran a few tests and had some eye drops put in my eyes and the doctor told me to come back in a couple of hours for my surgery, the tests took about half an hour so me and my family went to get breakfast at a restaurant and took in some sights, well they did, I was as blind as a bat since you can't wear contacts or glasses during this period. Got back around noon, got prepped for the surgery and was in and out in an hour. Surgery takes about 3-4 minutes per eye. It's only natural you get nervous but just try to relax. It wasn't painful at all. My eyes felt dry afterwards but the doctor gave me some eye drops for that. No issues since then and I'm 100% satisfied with the results. Tex, I highly recommend it, hopefully you have insurance covering that, you shouldn't be paying upwards of a thousand bucks if you can get that procedure done at more than half the price just south of the border, IMO. PM me if you want more info on where I got my surgery, this doctor has a very good reputation, there was another couple from the US in the waiting room so obviously the word gotten around. He also has a clinic in Monterrey, that's only a couple of hours from the Texas/US border, too.

Meanwhile, old washed up Drew Gooden played the same anount of minutes that Hibbert played and got 12 pts and 13 rebs...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 3, 2014 -> 07:52 PM) Pistons in '04? Heat in '06? Mavs in '11? Ok, maybe the word never was too strong but it happens the least of the four major sports. The Grizz continue to hang around but fully expect OKC to pull away in the 2nd half.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 3, 2014 -> 07:18 PM) You're kidding, right? In what individual year/s in the 90's did the league have 5, let alone 10, teams with a legitimate shot at a title? The 80's was even worse. If you don't like today's ball, fine. But don't say parity is a reason. In that case, the nba has sucked since the 70's. I realize parity in the NBA has been fiction for a long time. I was just kinda making fun of your whole "the NBA today is da greatest eva" comment. Yeah it's a cool story of all these first round 7 game series but we all know only two or three teams really have a real shot at the title. When's the last time a surprise team no one expected to win won it all? That happens in the NFL, MLB and NHL quite frequently, never in the NBA.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 2, 2014 -> 09:53 PM) But the NBA sucks today. We need to go back to this - http://www.basketball-reference.com/playof...CF.html#DET-IND You act like great basketball never existed before 2011 or something... And yet only either Miami, SA or OKC will win the title. No one else has a legit shot. The NBA produce easily the most predictable playoffs winners of the four major sports. But yeah, the NBA is da bestest...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 1, 2014 -> 05:21 PM) Want to know the difference between LeBron and KD? Pressure. One has more on him to win than any player in nba history. The other doesn't. Durant is on the verge of being bounced from the playoffs before he even gets his mvp award and it's not even a big deal. If this was LeBron all f***in' hell would be breaking loose. Let's pretend LeBron hasn't brought alot of it on himself, the guy who asked us to "Witness", calls himself King and predicted not 6, not 7...oh, and joined another top 5 player's team along with an All Star PF to stack the deck. Yeah, really feel sorry for poor LeBron

What a season by Atletico, pulling for them, El Cholo is my wife's all time fave player.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 07:38 AM) i see what you did there.... :usa More of this and it's getting moved to the Fili...

Going after player's relatives is weak sauce. I really dislike Boozer, can't say I "hate" him, don't know the guy personally but yeah, hopefully we've seen the last of him in a Bulls uni. I'm really digging on Memphis, they got KD and Westbrook shook.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 12:38 PM) He's 85, but has always looked MUCH older. He was only 44 when he played the elderly Fr. Merrin in "The Exorcist." Holy crap, only 44??? Easily looked 70 in that movie.

Gotta feel bad for Clippers fans. All those years of being terrible and forever second to the Lakers in Los Angeles, now they have a legit team and they can't even enjoy the playoffs without all this Sterling BS.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 11:52 AM) It takes a few minutes to get going, but I thought Bomani Jones had a great breakdown of the whole Sterling situation. http://deadspin.com/in-10-minutes-espns-bo...-ste-1569195989

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 11:01 AM) Brazil is far from a third world country. http://www.globaljournalist.org/stories/20...h-distribution/ Ok, so I might've been wrong on the 3rd world part but my point still stands. Lot's of poor people, and pretty pissed off that the government is spending so much money on the WC and Olympics instead of on education, health services, public transportation, infrastructure, etc...

They're behind in WC preparations too I believe. How the hell does a 3rd world country get the WC and Summer Olympics two years apart anyways? Pretty stupid if you ask me, and I'm not even mentioning the social unrest going on there.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 10:00 PM) If the Pacers end up losing that series, the Bulls really blew their chance to make it to the ECF.. I think if Thibs wasn't so stubborn with his rotations we would have been better off Meh, the East is the D League compared to the West. Getting to the ECFs only to get destroyed by Miami wouldn't impress me in the least. With losing in the first round, hopefully GarPax finally get it through their thick skulls that we aren't as close to being legit as they'd like to believe and maybe they'll do something about it. I doubt it though.

Too little, too late...

I'm rooting for the Clips to win it all just for the lulz on how the NBA would handle that...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 02:42 PM) And one game away from getting hopes up re: a major upgrade, and instead having Mirotic stay in europe and walking away with a couple late-first-round draft picks and a few veteran pieces to fill out the roster. Don't forget the anual Rose season ending injury. But the Bulls will hustle their way into the playoffs

The defense just sucks.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 01:01 PM) How is Hinrich in the nba yet I'm not Because you're worse...much, much, much worse. It doesn't really matter when the Bulls get eliminated, speaking for myself, I'm tired of getting abused by Miami.

The Heat are so fortunate they're in the cream puff East. They prolly wouldn't get to the Finals this year. The West is that brutal.
