QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jan 20, 2012 -> 10:12 AM) Since I'm almost 100% Scandinavian, anyone who has the nickname Vikings needs to change it. I'm insulted that anyone would use this nickname. When I wear black pants, people sometimes mistake my ankles for white socks. White Sox needs to be changed.

I just really hate when the RIAA tries to make itself a victim. Now, obviously musicians make 0 profit on Piracy, but it means interest in the artist which can translate to concerts/youtube hits/etc. And now, because I really hate the RIAA... http://www.cracked.com/funny-2153-riaa/ http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty_147_if-...il-as-riaa_p17/ http://www.cracked.com/blog/649/ http://www.cracked.com/article_17215_the-7...r-tantrums.html My favorite rapper is DeStorm, who is unsigned and on YouTube. If some of his past songs are any indication why he chooses to remain unsigned it's because he wouldn't be allowed to just release his music as he saw fit, the RIAA would have total and complete control over all his music. f*** I hate the RIAA.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 20, 2012 -> 08:43 AM) Theo, Ben, & Bud will probably all go to dinner and force Theo to pay the whole bill as "compensation". What a joke. This is greatly annoying.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 20, 2012 -> 01:02 AM) Second round picks? Oh boy! Look at it this way: GM's take certain packages. Kahn loves PGs. GarPax will unload stupid/troublesome players for picks teams deem useless. Danny Ainge will take a stupid return over no return. Remember when he told Auerbach to trade himself, Bird, and McHale for what became Schrempf and crap?

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jan 20, 2012 -> 03:00 AM) There is absolutely no way to determine who the best football player of all time is. Every position has a completely different role and theyre judged by completely different skill sets. That's why the only sport with a unanimous GOAT is Basketball, because all five positions can do the same thing.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 08:11 PM) Id need zoom to explain the facts, but Korver+ Brewer doesnt match Allen's salary, and i dont think that there is a rule that being 300k over the cap is any less than being 5mil over the cap. Not to mention that Id want to move Boozer, so moving Boozer to another team could create a trade exception, etc. But hey, keep making things up, I merely said it makes no sense to move Brewer for Allen when the Bulls are built on being a defensive team. It makes sense to move Korver/Hamilton for a more offensive player, but not Brewer. In your opinion it makes sense, mine it doesnt, well see what the Bulls do, but Id be shocked if Brewer is moved for Allen. 1) Korver + Brewer for Allen works under the CBA, new and old. 2) So, you want to trade Boozer, but will hold onto Brewer for dear life?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 03:41 PM) Those clips of the congressmen just reminded how f***ed up it is that we have people creating laws where they have absolutely no idea what they are legislating for/against.

Eddy Curry in game. Get's rebound. Immediate turnover. Despite losing 100 pounds, still looks fat.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 02:46 PM) Hawk Harrelson @NotHawk Fausto Carmona's actual name is s***ty Pitcher.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 07:31 PM) Longevity is everything. You can be a flash in the pan athletic freak, but that only lasts so long most of the time. I dont understand why people say how much better Sanders and Brown were than Payton. A huge part of being an NFL RB is durability, if there is enough prevailing skill thats probably the biggest thing you want out of a great RB. Nobody takes more punishment in professional sports than NFL runningacks. Payton missed 1 game in his rookie year from the day he signed with the Bears until the day he retired. That counts for a lot more than all these guys who had great ~5 year stints but couldn't keep it up over a decade of getting leveled (especially considering Walter's style wasnt really about avoiding contact).

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 05:56 PM) How the heck do you keep from falling off the broom? Hold with one of your hands or your legs. Generally if I'm jumping to block a shot or catch a pass I'll hold the broom with my leg.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 05:48 PM) Sadly, a lot of colleges around the USA have competitive quidditch clubs. I'm on Mizzou's... ...and I hate having to defend 7 footers. So it's like basketball in that regard.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 05:45 PM) Right after you get off of your broom, Severus. I'll take this over the usual "You know you can't fly right?"

So when do I start arguing Quidditch's validity as a sport?

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 05:25 PM) Totally. SYNDERGAARD AWAITS! "Syndergaard with 3 strikes out this inning. After the first he yelled FUS. The second one he yelled RO. Last one he yelled DAH. Weird ass kid."

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 03:46 PM) I want Syndergaard really badly, but I'm not sure of how much of it is because I think he's good and how much of it is because I want to get a shirt with his name on the back. That name is right out of Skyrim.

My friend lives in a part of SIUE called "Cougar Village" I think they'll live with that name.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 03:57 PM) I actually think Walter has an argument for greatest football player ever. So do I. Being the best RB gets you that right to argument. That being said, Jordan > Any athlete from any sport

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 03:38 PM) Haha, does it show? Just a little.

SoxFan1 really has to hate being a moderator the past few days.

Keith Bogans also slowed Wade down last year. You're telling me Butler and Ray Allen couldn't as well?

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 01:51 PM) Just drinking the same stuff that made people think the Knicks would be better than the Bulls. Preseason opinions are what they are. J4L is my boy, but damn. But seriously, everyone knows J4L is a grass is always greener type of guy, right?

Our championship hopes shouldn't be rested on Brewers shoulders.
