Real Deal

Just to make you feel better...our last opening loss was against Houston, in 2007. Of course... C - Kwame PF - Turiaf SF - Walton SG - Kobe PG - Fisher No Odom...not much to even work with, really, lol...but a win is a win. Before that? 2002, against the Spurs. No Shaq, lol. Before that? 1991...against Hakeem and the Rockets.

Yeah, that was the year after they eliminated us from the playoffs the first time around (so, should've been the 2006-07 season). Odom destroyed Phoenix, had 30+ points and grabbed a lot of boards. Amare didn't play much, though...maybe a quarter. Funny thing was, the starters were... C - Bynum PF - Odom SF - Walton SG - Vujacic PG - Smush I really have no idea how we beat Nash, Marion, Barbosa, Diaw and Bell.

You could, but Cutler has thrown three INT in four games. Favre has seven of them in the same amount of games. When a guy is throwing more interceptions than touchdowns (I'm almost 100% sure Favre hasn't thrown seven TD's yet), and he's the all-time leader in interceptions thrown, there's no reason for anyone to be mad that people are joking about it. Everyone should be making fun of Alex Smith, actually.

Never said you did, but I was hoping that was the reason why he overthrew Moss and Harvin so many times. And when they were showing a few of those replays where he threw some of those bad passes, there wasn't anyone within an arm's length of him. Definitely not saying it's all his fault, but he wasn't Brett Favre out there, and I was definitely not surprised to see the pick 6 to end the game.

Sure, but the fumbles and the two terrible throws on the second to last possession (especially the crap throw to a wide-open Harvin)...it's unacceptable. He actually overthrew Moss a couple of times, missed Harvin 3-4 times. I realize he has tendinitis, but if the tendinitis was affecting him THAT much, he wouldn't have threw those TD's in the second half.

Haha, nice, but not too impressive. We all knew.

If any of you are big baseball fans, you'll remember how Ken Griffey Jr. hit home runs out of the park. His swing seemed slower than normal, and just perfect...no force behind it, no struggle...nothing. Doesn't it seem like Moss makes catches like that, too? As if he's not even trying, and it's like his QB is throwing the ball from three yards away? Just crazy how effortless he makes it look.

Sterger was in Playboy, just in case nobody knew (there was some controversy about her a while back, I remember reading about it on RealGM's football forums). http://thatkush.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/jenn-sterger-playboy-200x300.jpg Wowzers.

"If you're a big fan of punting, it's been a great night so far." LOL.

I started this a while back, actually...just never used it. http://i51.tinypic.com/2rdaozm.jpg

Hey may not be...but it's not set in stone yet, and we all know Kobe by now.

I get what you're saying, and I understand that the town decided on that. However, the town should have no right to do that because, technically, it endangers lives. And, in that light, those firefighters (meaning, all of them) should've stepped up to do what's right. If they had any balls, they would've all went on strike once the town put that fee into place. If I'm a firefighter, and a family is standing out there watching a chunk of their life being burned to the ground, I dive in and save it. Lose my job? Good. The town will definitely hear about it, as a whole, and will be forced to change their policy, and I'll eventually be reinstated, or offered a job elsewhere because of my heroics. Having the fee is wrong. It's ALSO wrong to stand there and watch that home burn down when you're fully capable of making a difference.

First of all, that's stupid. People pay taxes for that very reason, and that's the end of that discussion. If a chick was hiding in her closet, close to being murdered, and she phoned the police, should they ignore it if she didn't pay her "police fee" (if that existed)? What if there was a baby in that fire? People need to do the right thing, sometimes going beyond what they are told to do. When I was 15, I had a diabetic seizure in a grocery store. A cashier ran to grab some honey, gave it to my mom to use in between my cheeks to bring my sugars back up. Didn't pay for the bottle of honey. If that bottle was $75, I'm sure it wouldn't have mattered...and if so, it would've been paid for AFTER it was used. They stop the fire immediately, and if they are still heartless, they can charge the family $75 after it's over with. That's more related to things like flood and fire insurance. Do you know what hospitals do? They have to accept you no matter what, insurance or nothing at all, empty pockets, whatever...and they bill you later. You come in there with a devastating injury, and they are required, by law, to treat you. Doesn't even have to be that big of an injury, either. Firefighters, police, and doctors/nurses in the ER...they are all required to do their job (or should be required to do so), no matter the situation.

You wait until they are done, then you shut him out for a little while. Tell him why. The odds that they will last are pretty low, and I can tell just by what you've said and how he has treated you. Let him roll around in his personal ecstasy, then cut him loose once he decides he needs friends again. Most importantly, explain why you're doing it to him. If he apologizes, maybe you can forgive him. If he acts like a punk about it, so be it...you'll finally figure out the real person, and it'll be much easier to determine if he's a true friend or not (more than likely not).

It's ridiculous, the policy and the reaction to it. Those people are humans, and they lost a huge chunk of their lives due to the fire. It shouldn't cost $75 to protect your personal items, preserve memories and, above everything else, prevent a disaster that causes you to have to rebuild your life (which costs money and emotional scars). Pathetic.

The Nets are probably going to miss out on Melo. They didn't get LeBron James. They didn't get John Wall or Evan Turner. And that, right there, is my other problem with tanking.

Hickson did pretty good tonight. I'm still not sure if he'll be the one Cleveland can lean on, but he's not looking like a backup PF anymore. Looks more like a legit PF than Jamison does, to be honest.

Despite playing halfway decent defense on Nelson, and throwing 10 assists. It's a good example of why that stat really never means much to me. It's based more on the four teammates on the court with him and the production of all five together, not necessarily Paul. So when Rashard Lewis and Ryan Anderson go off for 23 points each, it seems like CP3 is to blame.

Haha, thanks, I just duplicated a small picture my brother had, drew it on a larger poster board for him to stick on his wall.

I don't support tanking because it requires your best players to take their mind out of the game, for the coaches to encourage losing, and for those players to actually accept those losses. Play to win.

LOL.

I hate these discussions...makes me feel OLD as dirt. I've never seen an episode of the show. I don't remember how old I was when it was popular, but I was probably just starting high school. HOWEVER, I did draw a picture of the main guy for my brother, who loved the show...drew it when I was 14 or 15. http://i53.tinypic.com/70uvex.jpg

Nope. Not surprised at the commentators that claim it is, though.
