  1. Fisher's shot a few seconds earlier was huge also but yeah, great shot by Kobe. Odom got screwed over earlier in that thing. If you're going to eject him, then you have to eject O'Neal also. They should have received the same punishment. That show was almost as crazy as the buzzer beaters he made against Portland a few years ago.
  2. Kobe's just too good. Good lord.
  3. What happened?
  4. It pains me to watch Brad Miller.
  5. No I don't think it'll be a trend either but if we say that Tiger's career is roughly halfway done I think we can confidently predict that he won't win another 14 majors always having the lead going into the final round and then holding it. Even if he loses just a couple of those that could extend the time it takes for him to break the all time record by years.
  6. What do you think this one could draw? 1.5 million? Unofficially official now that Pacquiao has reportedly signed on. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4712939 I think it'd clear 2 million+ pretty easily. De La Hoya/Mayweather did 2.7 million PPV buys and this is actually a good match up.
  7. It does have a little "methinks he doth protest too much" feel to it. When something like this goes down wives are going to give their husband's crap, and they have little choice but to bad mouth him. I feel like he's being honest and is upset though. He could easily see her as sort of a daughter. Reminds me of Eddie Murphy in Raw. Halfway through:
  8. I think he's going to really have to grind for awhile to break Jack's record. I thought that was the case before all of this came out. There was a point where I thought he'd roll up 25+ majors but I don't see it happening any more. I think the tour has closed the gap a little and maybe Y.E. Yang actually beating Tiger the way he did will help others from crumbling so often.
  9. I'm sure he hired Elin to be his nanny purely for her excellent references and demonstrated attentiveness towards children.
  10. Well, no. I'm just saying I don't really feel that bad for Elin. If Parnevik wants to throw gasoline on the fire that's fine by me. Obviously, no pro at the top of his game will say anything negative about it (although Sergio might mumble something under his breath like the little girl he is).
  11. Would it really be "miraculous" for a team like Algeria or Slovenia (or even the US) to beat a team like England? How does an upset in international soccer compare to an upset in other sports? More or less common?
  12. And he feels bad because had he not set them up, Elin might not be in this situation. It's understandable why he would feel this way. http://www.examiner.com/x-23632-UK-Headlines-Examiner~y2009m12d4-Tiger-Woods-offered-wife-5-million Poor Elin.
  13. Al Harrington is in the Zach Randolph category for me. He's a chucker, an abortion on defense, a poor rebounder, and he's always on bad teams. Now Tyrus hasn't shown much but I'd rather just see how he plays when he gets back from injury. We do need scoring, and maybe a guy who's willing to do it selfishly, but I'd rather just hold on to Thomas and see if he shows anything. Thomas would provide a lot more help up front with Noah--and Noah can't do it alone against bigger front lines.
  14. I don't think the Michigan bust rate is any higher than other programs. Edwards isn't even really a bust either. I do remember a stretch where it seemed like every Michigan skill player was crappy in the NFL (thanks Terrell and A-Train!).
  15. Margarito was fighting with loaded gloves in all likelihood. Cotto is (or was) a legit opponent. I mean Mayweather dodged him and he did beat Mosley. I do think he fell off the Margarito fight but he's arguably better than anyone Floyd's beaten.
  16. Probably something out of the Tyson-Lewis-Holyfield days. Among non-HW fights, maybe something in the Duran/SRL/Hagler/Hearns era or De La Hoya/Trinidad.
  17. All I want for Christmas is for security tapes of the whole incident to be leaked on the internet. The diagram alone is cracking me up.
  18. anybody know what the ppv count was on the pacquiao-cotto fight? because people were saying that it would have had to be 1.5 mil for mayweather to consider it, and even then it would have been a longshot for mayweather to split the purse 50-50. we'll see if it happens, i hope it does. i'd love to see mayweather retire undefeated after smoking him. Pac vs. Cotto did 1.25 million buys on PPV. And Mayweather doesn't smoke anybody. He out points and doesn't get hit. Pacquiao smokes people. And yes, this fight must happen. PBF will have a huge black mark on his career if he doesn't fight Pac.
  19. Somebody good at photoshop.
  20. That's a pretty crappy photoshop job considering it's the actual cover.
  21. How apropos would it be if Gordon just lit us up in the 4th quarter to bring the Pistons back?
  22. Here's a question: Is Joakim Noah the most popular athlete in Chicago? With the Bears a huge disappointment, the Cubs/Sox split (and no huge stars on either team), and Rose not exactly being the most charismatic guy I think he might be. I know the Blackhawks are very good but it's hockey.
  23. I was pleasantly surprised that Tisdale didn't leave ligaments or maybe an entire ankle on the floor when he turned that shot fake into a layup.
  24. What kinda reception did BG get?
  25. I can't believe a team I'm totally ambivalent about gave up a 23 point lead at home to an under dog. These things just don't happen to any other teams other people don't care about!
