That makes me far less sad about Kirk (still miffed And I didn't mean the 5yr/55M contracts Deng & Ben were offered. I meant the 6yr/71M Deng contract that ultimately drove BG out of town and now Kirk. And trust me, I have never liked Deng, even when everyone said he was going to be an All-Star. Luol Deng is better than Hinrich and it isn't particularly close. If you are going to keep one of those two and still be able to sign guys like James and Bosh you get rid of Hinrich every time.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 11:02 AM) Yeah, I agree. It all seems a bit easy, doesn't it? I feel almost like we are being used as a pawn here to lure in a bigger fish.... Maybe but LeBron and Bosh have all the leverage in this situation and don't need to use any teams as pawns to get what they want.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 09:11 PM) Ok. A guy who shoots 41% on the floor on mostly open jump shots is not a good shooter and while Hinrich tries hard and is a good defender he is far from a lock down defender and that is what it takes for me to consider someone great on that end of the floor.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 09:01 PM) Yes he will. Team leader, great defense, versatile, good shooter. Ya, he was inconsistent and overpaid. But at 4 or 5 millions we'd love him, but at 9+, we didn't. He is not a great defender and he is an average shooter at best by NBA standards.

It is so nice having baseball be fun again.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 03:13 PM) Basically, you sign Lebron and any of the other top 5 or so guys, whichever position you still have to fill, you can move Deng to try to fill it, and use the MLE as well. And between Rose, Lebron, and whoever you sign, you're not likely to need a lot of scoring, so whichever position you still need to fill, you can look for a defensive stopper. The only thing you would really need if you get Lebron and Bosh is a SG who can knock down open jump shots. Rose/Lebron/Bosh/Noah is the best nucleus in the league and it isn't close. Worry about the rest later.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 07:57 AM) Green Hornet comes out in January? Hope it is good but that can't be a good sign. Should be a summer movie. They recently moved it from December to January and then they decided at the last minute to do 3D conversion. It is going to suck and it looks awful. Plus, Rogen just has no acting talent whatsoever.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 11:02 AM) Is this the farthest Team USA has gotten? I'm a noob to all of this. No. Made the semifinals in 1930 (of course there were a lot less teams) and made the quarters after beating Mexico in 2002.

Suck it mother f***ing refs who tried to keep the US out of the round of 16

f*** YES@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay for more f***ing terrible officiating on a bulls*** handball call.

Should have been another red card on Algeria

Should have been a red card on Algeria

US should have had a corner as that came off an Algerian player. The US NEVER gets the benefit of the doubt from the refs.

Lol at that yellow card on Jozy.

Two great chances for Dempsey...ugh

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 09:25 AM) Oh my bad. Replay shows you're right. He was obviously on sides even in real time in my opinion, but at least the ref wasn't just making s*** up this time.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 09:29 AM) So how many goals has USA had stolen from them by terrible officiating? Two for sure and arguably 3.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 09:24 AM) He was offsides though. No he wasn't

The USA has another goal stolen from them. This is utterly ridiculous.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 08:08 PM) Mark Kotsay is the worst base runner in Sox history. Podsednik made outs on the basepaths something like 12% of the time he reached base last year.

QUOTE (OilCan @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 12:40 AM) TS3 = CLASSIC. Saw a few guys shed some tears at the end. Kind of dark though in some spots. Toy Story 3 was absolutely fantastic. By far and away the best movie I've seen this year.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 05:41 PM) Id bet a lot of money on the fact that FIFA would rather the US advance than Slovenia or Algeria. Look at the advertisements, look at the sponsors, they are American. US means big money in sports, even soccer. It was a bad call, but there is no way I believe that "the fix was in". The refs could have ended the US chances if they wanted to, but in the end the US came away with a draw and the chance to advance. The fix wouldn't come from FIFA. It isn't hard to pay off a ref to have them alter the outcome of a game. It happens fairly often in sports.

First couple of negative reviews for Toy Story 3 although neither is from whom I would consider a real critic. Armond White apparently gave positive reviews to Land of the Lost, Transformers 2, the Last Song, Clash of the Titans, and GI Joe yet gave negative reviews to the Dark Knight, Iron Man, District 9, Up, Toy Story 3 and while I didn't like it that much Avatar. The guys a troll. The other critic apparently gave Marmaduke a positive review which alone gives him no credibility.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 02:51 PM) It was a deplorable call...but you know what...don't go down 2-0 in the first half. I hate these types of posts implying the US shouldn't have put themselves in that position. The US had already come back to tie it and had a victory stolen from them by the ref. They did what they needed to do to win plain and simple.
