QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 17, 2011 -> 07:24 PM) I've worked 52 hours since Monday. I'm tired and loads more to do...ahh the glamorous life of an accountant (and no, this has nothing to do with taxes), haha. Every time I hear someone complain about work (I'm not saying you are complaining because obviously you are not), the conversation goes something like this: Employed complainer: Man, work is killing me. I'm so tired. Blah blah blah Me (unemployed): I'll trade job situations with you right now, just give me your job. Employed complainer: Dude, no way. Me (unemployed): Then shut the f*** up. You have a job and I don't but you don't see me walking around complaining about it. There are a lot of people out there right now that would love to be in your situation and they wouldn't whine about it at the end of the day.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 17, 2011 -> 09:01 AM) Bulls / Spurs tonight. It's time to make a mark on this season and let the league know we're for real. The Bulls have beaten Dallas, Miami, Orlando, Boston, and the Lakers. If people still don't think they are for real, one game isn't going to change their minds.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 16, 2011 -> 10:06 PM) Crazy ending in the Nebraska OU game. Neb was up 3 in the final seconds. OU took a deep shot and made it. Everyone in the gym other than the refs thought it was a 3. There were 3.7 seconds left after OU made the shot that they thought tied it. Nebraska ran down to take a prayer to win, which they missed. Refs look at replay and it was correctly called a two, but no one on OU thought it was (or saw the call) so they didn't foul and Nebraska got the win. Wait, so after the fact, they went back and changed it but didn't put the 3.7 seconds back on the clock? That's BS.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 16, 2011 -> 09:29 PM) Damn, that would have been a hell of a shot by Michigan to win it. Illini fans at least can't blame the seniors tonight. It was only a 2. That said I love Illini basketball and I hate this team to death.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 16, 2011 -> 04:39 PM) Not much of a market for a 4 year player with attitude issues. Recent draft reports on him have not been favorable. He'll need a strong postseason to get himself back into good standing with scouts. I'll wager any amount of money in the world that McCamey will be drafted. If the season ended today he would be as well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 16, 2011 -> 01:34 PM) Teddy Valentine is the worst, IMO. BTW, heard this stat earlier which is crazy: Bruce Weber in 13 years as a D1 coach has never signed a player that got drafted. That will end in two years likely, but still that's crazy to hear. McCamey will be drafted. I know he has sucked lately but if you look at the garbage that goes in the 2nd round, he'll fall in there somewhere.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 09:58 PM) Jim Burr is such a f***ing joke. He has no business reffing college games. That technical he called on Green was ridiculous. There is almost no chance it had an impact on the outcome but that was pathetic on his part. There are a few refs like that, you know their names, what they look like and that they suck at officiating. When you see that at the beginning of the game, you immediately know they are going to screw you at some point doing the game. Ed Hightower is another.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 05:38 PM) Since when does Cash Cab have a Chicago edition, and has anyone done it? Today was the 2nd episode, yesterday the 1st. It just started filming the past few months.

SI should ban any girl with implants (or any cosmetic surgery for that matter)

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 03:54 PM) I think SA will fail, but I also think, if Game 7 was in Boston last year, Boston wins. I'm not debating that, I'm debating that Boston never would have reached that point because they would have been burnt out by the time the playoffs had started. Obviously if all things were the same, everyone would prefer to play at home.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 02:01 PM) I want the Bulls to get Leuer. But thats just mainly being a homer. I really hope Taylor doesnt leave. it would have been unimaginable early in the year, but hes starting to get hype. I'm hoping they draft Tisdale

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 11:36 AM) Top 4 teams Eastern Conference Boston: 24-5 Home, 15-9 Road Miami: 20-5 Home, 19-10 Road Chicago: 23-4 Home, 13-12 Road Orlando: 20-8 Home, 15-13 Road Top 4 teams Western Conference San Antonio: 25-2 Home, 21-7 Road Dallas: 20-8 Home, 18-8 Road LA Lakers: 19-8 Home, 19-10 Road OKC: 18-8 Home, 16-11 Road The top 8 teams here have a collective .779 winning percentage at home vs a .630 winning percentage on the road. You bet your sweet f***ing ass home court matters. You took what I said out of context. Home court wasn't much of an argument against the Celtics last year. Of course you'd rather play at home in the playoffs. However, if the Celtics play their ass off and get home court last season, they would have had nothing left for the postseason. This is also my argument for SA falling on their face come the playoffs this year. The tank will read E.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 07:47 AM) Being sarcastic. The Celtics lost the title in no small part because they had to finish the series at Staples. They were the lower seed against Cleveland and Orlando and dismantled both teams then took the Lakers to 7. Home court isn't much of an argument. The Lakers were just a bit better. The Celtics last year are exactly the same as this year's Lakers, no sense beating your head against the wall for this ridiculous regular season.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 02:40 PM) Just like the Celtics did last year, when they decided they could forego home court advantage in the playoffs. Are you agreeing with me or being sarcastic?

QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 10:27 PM) Texas should have been #1 to begin with. They won in Lawrence so ranking Kansas ahead of them was silly. Good thing this isn't football where rankings matter. Ohio State should have remained the #1 team in the country.

QUOTE (SnB @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 04:35 PM) Ever since my commute became enormouse, I can't handle any of those stations anymore. It's mostly 670, but if I want music, it's usually 93.1 . 93.1 is the only station out there (that I've found) that plays psuedo indie rock (decemberists, mumford & sons, etc). If there are others, I don't know about them and would love to find out. Well 670 for sure. That's my number 1. I still have no idea what "Indie" rock is but I think I hate it. Oh, and I've never heard of the decemberists or mumford & sons.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 04:26 PM) I don't even listen to the radio and somehow managed to find out who they are. There's a world of amazing music out there besides top 40. I have give Arcade Fire a shot today and I find them incredibly boring and just bad. I'll list my stations by preference. 97.1 104.3 100.3 105.9 101.9 103.5 96.3 93.9 99.5 97.9 Haven't turned on 93.1 or 101.1 in a long time.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 04:23 PM) Any rock station. WXRT, Q101, any endless number of internet radio stations. I find both of those stations bad so I guess that means I live in a cave.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 07:17 AM) Do you live in a cave? And I personally disagree JPN. The Suburbs has been in heavy rotation for a much longer period of time for me than Neon Bible ever was. Do I live in a cave? What channel would Arcade Fire be played on?

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 03:43 PM) Anybody watching Watson on Jeopardy!? It seems like he has a buzz in advantage.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 13, 2011 -> 04:55 PM) Lakers have now dropped back to the #3 seed in the West, 1/2 game behind Dallas. Lakers realize how dumb the NBA season is.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 10:08 AM) Where is the Diamond Club? Haha this is a very good question

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Feb 13, 2011 -> 11:05 PM) Take it you're not a fan of them or Indie Rock? Indie rock? I don't even know what that is. I like music, and that trash was not music.

Who the f*** is arcade fire? Garbage.
