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.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 12:34 PM) Deplorable Wait the foul was on Edu? WTF that makes the call even worse than I could have imagined. FIFA needs to investigate that official and he definitely should never ref a World Cup or really any other international game again.

A couple comments on the players. Onyewu was awful and I really wish the US had back line depth because he has no business being out there right now. Altidore was a beast in the 2nd half. He really dominated play and I wish he would play like that more often. Donovan and Bradley's finishes were both terrific strikes. I hope FIFA doesn't overturn Findley yellow so Bradley is forced not to play him, he sucks.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 11:10 AM) That's nonsense. The guy gave Slovenia like 5 yellow cards. They made some bad decisions, but I really don't think they were trying to be deliberately biased against the US. They were clearly biased against the US during that game to the point that I've heard from friends watching with Mexican commentators, British commentators, etc. that they were all ripping on the ref and saying that the US got screwed not just on that call but throughout the game. Hell one of those yellow cards could have been a red card (where Altidore had a clear run if he wasn't fouled) and probably would have been called a red if the US committed a similar foul.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 11:07 AM) Donovan said the referee wouldn't tell them what the call was. WTF Because he got paid to make sure the US wouldn't win so he was making s*** up. I'm not even really kidding.

Looks like he called a laughable foul on Bocanegra who was jostling for position and ignored the obvious holds and Bradley being raped by the Slovenia player.
