  1. Shouldn't you expect your supposedly world class goaltender to do more than not give up bad goals?
  2. If Russia puts another one on the board Canada will tighten up big time.
  3. Bryzgalov.
  4. Wow, that was a snipe.
  5. Nyet nyet, Soviet.
  6. Because here in the States, we'd be rooting for Canada if they were playing the Swiss! Actually, I think US hockey fans would. They have no reason to root against Canada. Well we love an under dog. Although both teams are vaguely French so it would be tough to root for either. I would probably go for the Swiss because the idea of Canada being knocked out by Switzerland on their home soil is hilarious.
  7. What the hell do bermuda shorts have to do with anything? She's been wearing that crap for a long time and obviously would not have been allowed on air if it violated dress codes. Women in the professional world where that style of clothing all the time. If you believe that to true, this is just a stand still. I still believe that she is not dressing professionally. I believe that ESPN has a double standard in dress code. If that is the case they should not be upset when someone like KT comments about it. Regardless of your conservative definition of dressing professionally, commenting on clothing is a direct breach of sexual harrassment policies. What about in this situation? http://frothygirlz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/curb.jpg
  8. I've checked 3 sites (ESPN, NBCOlympics, and Yahoo) and this information isn't readily available. Even on their live blog it doesn't provide that kind of information readily. So stupid.
  9. Work is blocking the plugin I need to watch on NBC's site. And apparently ESPN.com and the NBC site actively want you to not know the score or the amount of time left. It's like they're hiding it.
  10. You guys must be missing cable news these days if you think Storm is wearing anything out of the ordinary. If anything, ESPN is a few years behind cable news when it comes to dolling up the women anchors. Within 5 years, all female anchors and sideline reporters on ESPN will be reasonable facsimiles of Erin Andrews. God bless progress.
  11. When Phil left for the Lakers with Tex, Harper, and Grant it made me hate them even more. Knowing the Bulls were hopeless my NBA related rooting went to whoever who was playing the Lakers. I've never actively rooted against a team more. When the Blazers and then the Kings a few years later totally gagged against them in the conference finals I was pretty livid.
  12. What kind of trivia did they ask?
  13. I honestly think Taylor would be a top 10ish back in the league if he got more touches. Maybe he's protected in Minnesota but someone will make him a starter. He's very good.
  14. I think Westbrook could be more useful in a Martz system than any sort of "hammer". And Forte plus a hammer would really be undynamic as a RB group. I'm just annoyed that none of our RBs run with any authority. Forte was so tentative this year. Hopefully it's injury related and he can bounce back from it. I think whatever Westbrook offers is the stuff that Forte still does well. Maybe we can trade Forte and get Chester Taylor. That'd be nice.
  15. Well I guess if you want to break up the duties a bit you could go with Westbrook...I don't think he compliments Forte that well though. I'd rather have a hammer as the 2nd RB.
  16. Oregon usually waits until the season is at least a third of the way over before they implode under high expectations.
  17. Tyrus never got consistent minutes because he's probably the dumbest player in franchise history. Until the light bulb turns on he'll only ever tittilate, sadly. Anecdotally, it seems like those tweener forwards rarely turn out. If they turn out they're usually Al Harrington types. You can't win with those kinda guys. If you're lucky you get Josh Smith.
  18. Uh, no he's not. For a 26th pick. I mean. That's a pretty important clarification that you left out. Sure, he's awesome for a 26th pick because most of those guys aren't even capable of becoming basic rotation players. But he's nowhere near, and never will be near, awesome. And for all the talk about how great he's been playing lately, he's basically been averaging 8 points and 8 boards over the last month. He's serviceable for 20-25 minutes a game, but should never be the starting PF on a good team. I think he's growing into the Bulls' version of Ryan Theriot. Lots of fans inexplicably love the guy. 8 and 8 in 26 minutes. There's many teams that don't even get that out of starters let alone a rookie. Thomas never did it for an entire season. It's a lot easier to find Ryan Theriot than it is to find a good backup PF that is a serviceable starter as a rookie. He's old but I don't think he's reached his ceiling quite yet. If he could add bulk I would challenge the assertion that he should NEVER start for a good team. It's not like he would be anywhere near the worst big man on a title contending team. Look at the pu pu platter of crap Duncan played with up front after Robinson retired. And if you sign Bosh, Booz, Amare, etc. then great, you've got a great 3 man rotation in the front court for the next 5 years.
  19. Uh, no he's not. For a 26th pick. I mean.
  20. Well I don't know anyone on RealGM who posts here as well besides you. And you honestly might have been the 'worst' tonight. You were in rare form.
  21. Most entertaining part of the game was reading UMFan's sulleyesque meltdown on RealGM as it was happening.
  22. Horrible loss. The veterans outside of Flip were just horrid.
  23. Miller hasn't made a 3 in months.
  24. Great intensity and focus Luol.
