Jason Ford f***ing sucks. Sit his fat ass on the bench.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 1, 2011 -> 12:31 PM) Pretty awesome nut-shot by Brown. I can't believe he didn't get booted. I'll be disappointed if he isn't benched for the 2nd half and suspended for the game next week.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Oct 1, 2011 -> 12:24 PM) Ford looks fat and slow, I'm not sure he shouldn't just be a fb. Young and Pollard should be getting all the carries. Ford is terrible.

Illinois just had a TD stolen from them by the refs.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 01:56 PM) HIMYM was actually solid last night. There has already been more good HIMYM episodes this year than all of last year already.

Typical Ron Zook team not ready to play the week after a big win. Not to mention horrible special teams which is the only unit he coaches these days.

Putting Denard Robinson under center is so f***ing stupid.

Garrett Gilbert may be the worst QB I've ever seen.

Boston College's QB is f***ing terrible.

I'm so happy we waited until the end of August to call him up.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 10:01 AM) Oney is just being Oney. I don't think it's any reason for us to pound on the kid. It absolutely is a reason to rip on him.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 06:05 PM) You are right of course. I am just surprised he would stoop to that level. Why would you be surprised that a Guillen would be completely classless and juvenile? That is the only way they ever act.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 05:00 PM) Ochocinco is not a problem child. He's a big personality, but he doesn't get in trouble. That's such a bad misconception. Agreed. Ochocinco is going to love it in New England because he is going to win and Brady is going to get him the ball a lot. If one of those trades backfires at all it will be the Haynesworth one but they gave up so little in both deals that they were both clearly worth the risk.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 03:44 PM) To hear his players say they lost faith in him as the manager That is utterly ridiculous. By that standard basically no coaches or managers would ever be fired.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 12:08 PM) Not sure about Madden (the only thing I can find on a quick scan is dynamic player ratings), but NCAA has a few tweaks (keep in mind this is all from what I've read). One is that they added more customized traditions to the game, stuff like Chief Osceola throwing his spear in the turf and Mike the Tiger sitting there on the sidelines. Another is that they seem to have added a ton of customization to the dynasty mode. You can customize the conferences (number of teams, divisions, bowl tie-ins, ect) and they added a coaching carousel feature that lets you play as just a coordinator. Besides just recruiting, you can also sim games against the CPU and advance the week in online dynasties now. The Road to Glory mode is also supposedly beefier. I never really played it in the past, but supposedly you start in high school now and build your reputation. As for gameplay, supposedly the defensive AI is a bit better and receivers actually drop balls instead of snaring everything in their zip code. The reviews seem to say that it's mostly the same experience though. The one thing that changes things greatly is you can build a completely customized playbook. Have you read anything regarding how time consuming and in depth recruiting is in this game? I have always enjoyed the recruiting aspect of these games but in the last couple it has almost been too time consuming during the season.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 02:04 PM) Man, Yao was awesome. Sad his body couldn't handle it. Right now though, the Center position IS Dwight, followed by Horford, who would be joined by Bynum/Bogut/Noah if that trio could stay healty. Meanwhile, Rome Wasn't Built in One Day was genius by Steve Porter. The center position is brutal right now. Out of the 5 guys you listed you have one superstar, a PF being forced to play C, 2 guys who are never healthy and a guy with no offensive game at all.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 02:08 PM) Never know, there are some young big men coming up through the college/HS ranks. There isn't a single great center prospect in college basketball right now and that include the 2011 class. And while it is obviously very early there doesn't appear to be the next big thing at the center position in either the 2012 or 2013 HS classes either.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 03:18 PM) Well, a jury can pretty much go any way they want. You're not supposed to go solely on circumstantial stuff, though. Not true. Circumstantial evidence alone is sufficient for a conviction as long as you prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Don't believe everything you see on TV.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 02:55 PM) It seems that a lot of the evidence was circumstantial. It sucks, but you can't convict someone because of that. I have a feeling people are so up in arms about this because of the media coverage, which is blatantly running it as though there is no doubt that the mother did it. That sells. That isn't true. You absolutely can convict someone based on circumstantial evidence.

What makes the verdict even worse is that she is probably going to get rich off of killing that little girl because our society is full of a bunch of f***ing idiots who will watch her interviews, buy her book, etc.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 12:01 PM) I know Rosie is a terrible actress in Transformers 3, but goodness, she's good looking in some of those outfits. Which is why she should stick to being a model and never be cast in a movie again unless she takes all her clothes off. Also, I watched Transformers 3 last night. I enjoyed the first Transformers but the last two have been unbearable. Even ignoring the hilarious amount of inconsistencies between this movie and the previous 2 installments, the plot was still a mess. The nicest thing I can say about the movie is that it isn't as dreadful as Transformers 2. I really wish a director with even an ounce of talent made that movie. Every human character is awful. Shia LaBeouf and Rosie's characters are so bad that I was actively rooting for them to be killed. Turturro's character got more annoying and ridiculous with each film. The human villain was laughably bad. Was there even a point to John Malkovich's character being in the movie other than being a horrible failure to add comic relief? At least Bay didn't f*** up the action scenes like he did in Transformers 2 (and frankly even the actions scenes occur for no rhyme or reason and are clearly just Bay thinking up some cool set pieces and throwing them together even if they don't really fit together). Also, I nominate Rosie's speech to Megatron as a top 5 worst movie scene of all time (although it would also be in my top 5 unintentionally hilarious scenes ever and was the only time I laughed during the movie). And can someone please explain to me why Shia continues to get rolls in big movies? He is an awful actor and just seems like a complete dick of a human being as well.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 01:51 PM) I'm so happy that this gets brought up after every good start! Otherwise, how would I, or anyone, know what people's opinions of this trade are??? I swear this topic never gets brought up or talked about enough here, so fortunately the constant bumping of this allows us to all remember it! Rather than b****ing about what other people post you could just avoid this thread which is clearly about Hudson and the Hudson/Jackson trade.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 05:01 PM) Ebert is a snobby movie douche. Coming from a guy that hates these movies (and most of the recent comic book retreads) I recognize that these movies are made to entertain, not win Oscars for best film. It's supposed to have load explosions, cool robot battles, hot women, etc. It's not designed to make us reflect on the morality of robots or existence of alien beings. Clearly a gazillion people are entertained since these movies make a s*** ton of money year after year. f*** Ebert. It doesn't need to be deep or existential but it isn't a lot to ask that there at least be a not utterly ridiculous plot, characters with any depth whatsoever (or that at least are somewhat likable or hateable), and humor that wasn't apparently written by an 8 year old. Not to mention how about not creating two characters that make Jar Jar Binks look like a cinematic masterpiece. The 2nd Transformers was complete garbage and while taste in movies are subjective I can't fathom how anyone over 12 can like that movie. There is nothing snobby about ripping on piece of s*** movies. He shouldn't dumb himself down just because the public makes something popular.

As an aside, it is too bad that they don't have someone with even an ounce of talent directing these films as opposed to Michael Bay. Michael Bay's films have great effects but fail on every other level. Hell, even the action in Transformers 2 was horribly done.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 28, 2011 -> 08:43 AM) The reviews aren't as bad as the previous one. Plus, my brother's been bothering me to take him since this past weekend. The reviews are getting more horrible by the minute. This will end up at around 30% at best on rottentomatoes and it is made by Michael Bay so the best you can hope for is a mediocre movie.
