    That was 2009 Forte right there. Nice knuckle ball Robbie.

    Larry David is sitting in literally the same seat that he sat in when he tripped Shaq in that episode of Curb.

    Yeah, the transition play was horrible. That's where you miss Noah because he's a good passer to start the break or he can dribble the ball up himself if need be. Plus with Noah out and Gibson not getting many minutes the shot blocking that can kick start fast breaks is missing. I said this on RealGM but someone needs to take Thibs to task over Bogans. Just be a huge prick about it and hound him.

    Horrible, horrible 4th quarter. Just a sloppy game all around. 20 turnovers, 11/20 from the line, and an appalling inability to convert fast breaks. Get JR Smith.
  5. SpongeWorthy
    Well we've thoroughly jagged this game away.

    Rose is really sandwiching some terrible turnovers around his breathtaking plays. But anyone who is voting Rondo over him to watch in an All Star game is clinically insane.

    Knicks are 30/45 from behind the arc against the Bulls this season

    Jesus [expletive] christ what the [expletive] is with these Knick douchebags and their three point shooting against us.
  9. SpongeWorthy
    Landry Fields is really good though.

    Hey cool, New York's assortment of nobodies are murdering us from behind the line again.
  11. SpongeWorthy
    I agree with Lebron.
  12. SpongeWorthy
    Really looking forward to the game tomorrow. Only thing that would make it better (assuming the Bulls win) would be a vintage Costas NBA on NBC voiceover intro followed by Roundball Rock.

    Joniak sounds like the guy who calls Washington Capitals games and is like the #2 guy on Versus. ALEX SEMIN

    Mark Brunell That'd be fun.

    Titus Young is a Knox clone.

    Do you guys think its fairly common knowledge among sports nut types to know what coach Weeb Ewbank coached to the Super Bowl? I missed that one at bar trivia last night.

    There's plenty of ways you could do it. The NCAA could run a market in merchandise and give the proceeds back to the player and take a slice for itself. If you're worried about some booster just coming in and dumping a truckload of money in the market just make the payout to the player a fixed amount or a max percentage up to a certain threshold with the rest going to the NCAA and hopefully, it's affiliated charities. It certainly wouldn't be impossible. You step outside of the regulated market and you lose your eligibility.

    Of course it's a good rule. If there was no rule, then schools would keep feeding the guys things they can sell without any limit. It would be the same as paying players. Like what? Would players start selling cigarettes out of the back of trucks or something? Game merchandise is valuable because there is a very finite supply of it. All schools would have to do is line up people unaffiliated with the program to buy jerseys for hundreds of thousands of dollars and make that promise to kids during the recruiting process. There's no reason they couldn't sell their memorabilia for far more than its actually worth. Regulation, even if it was theoretically possible, would be quite impractical. I don't really consider that selling merchandise. That's more like bribing someone with $100,000 and saying 'Oh, this isn't a bribe, I was just paying 100k for this briefcase that's worth more like $300." What you're talking about is really no different than straight up paying players. I don't think selling a conference championship ring for 1 grand or whatever is remotely the same. Edit: I also don't think that would be any easier or harder to police than just straight pay for play scenarios.

    Wasn't Green suspended for four games?

    No. But it isn't necessarily a good rule just because it's written down somewhere.
  23. SpongeWorthy
    The default position of college sports fans is that every violation of an NCAA rule is an egregious act of moral depravity (as long as they don't play for your favorite team) while simultaneously whining about how horrible and stupid the NCAA is.
  24. SpongeWorthy
    So BHO will pander to the gays but can't show up for his hometown team when they play the Wizards.

    lol @ the foot fetish thing It's always the fatties who are into feet.
