Greg, I'm guessing you've never stared down a guy who's likely packing. It's not exactly a moment where you feel in control and ready to hulk out. Even though I'm from this coddled generation, I've had that. And a gun scare at my high school. Got followed in school (without being told) by a vice principal because they were pretty sure I was going to get assaulted amidst racial tensions in the town (black superintendent stole district funds, my dad was school board pres.) But yeah, that first example was when a gang threatened to shoot up my friend's house because of s*** his brother did. I had a baseball and a few sharp rocks.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 12:46 PM) The lakers won the NBA championship 3 seasons ago. Their 2011 campaign was an embarrassment, and at full strength, I don't see how the bulls don't win this year against them as well. It's a shame we never got to play boston in the playoffs, but I'm confident we would have beat them in 2011, but maybe their spunkiness beats us this year. For some reason Derrick's injury has people re-imagining the bulls as much worse than they were. THANK. YOU.

Bulls win the ring this year because Rose has the greatest return from injury since Jordan's foot.

Also, Bulls are going to be wearing the 90's alternate (black pinstripes!)

Trade inflation or him just being promoted, I like it.

f*** the Twins and the horse they rode in on.

Can Johnson demand that high a price? Buehrle is out pitching him this year.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 11:01 PM) Current MLB ranks: '3 true outcome' much? Oh, Adam you're so Dunny right now it's unreal. Love ya, big man. I found this hilarious for some reason.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 10:48 AM) From this day forth Konerko shall hit like The Professor again. And his disciples in the line up shall follow. So it is written, so it shall be.

The Professor has returned.

QUOTE (northside sawx @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 06:51 PM) Can't believe Eat-your-cheerios got traded. the...terrible...nicknames...they won't...stop.

But it's like Blaze said, there's no way Kenny stands pat.

QUOTE (northside sawx @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 06:46 PM) Same Agree

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 06:02 PM) Cities do change, but I cant name 1 city that completely lost its elevated track system or had an island disappear within 8 years. Arkham was in the Narrows, its a pretty important thing to just completely forget about. You doubt the powers of comics?

E-mailed the NBA a few days ago to ask them to reconsider the ads, because Uni-Watch is trying to spur a campaign for people to email them. Here's the response. If you want Adam Silver's email, it's unsurprisingly asilver@nba.com

Rose returns ahead of schedule in January and leads the Bulls to Finals, where they defeat the Lakers. /ridiculous-optimism-to-counter-ridiculous-pessimism

Also, it's worth noting that it's been eight years between TDK and TDKR, so cities can change.

With this and Ichiro, let the games begin.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 05:21 PM) I don't know that I can ever recall seeing Ichiro perfectly clean-shaven. Yeah, I feel like they shouldn't be able to ban it for traded players. But damn at these two trades. Go Kenny Go!

It's been a while since I watched Kirk and I didn't really understand the ins-in-outs of basketball plays. Other than his constant dribbling, can he run a pick & roll with Boozer?

Theo failing makes me happy.

f*** the Twins and the horse they rode in on.
