    i don't really get the point of these comments. people have this memory of jordan who would singlehandedly will his team to victory in the playoffs - and yes, he usually took the last shot - but he had good players around him and that's why they won. lebron has mediocre players around him and doesn't win. maybe he's not as good as jordan but it's dumb to denigrate him against a guy who clearly had a better supporting cast. The comparisons to him were dumb to begin with, so we are taking the stupidity to its logical conclusion. BTW, MJ never failed to win a championship as the #1 seed and LeBron has now done it twice. (He deserves some credit, of course, for getting to the #1 seed to begin with considering his supporting cast, but still.)

    That not fouling thing is unbelievable. They just flat-out quit. The entire city is going to disown them.

    9 turnovers for King James.

    I really kind of can't believe this is happening. I thought Orlando might take Cleveland but not this Boston team. Amazing.

    I drive through Elkhart when I cover games for the News-Sun. That's about the nicest thing I can say about it.

    Bill Simmons has done it again. His CelticsChants Twitter account originated that tonight.

    They did? Jordan, Grant, Armstrong, and Pippen all played at least 77 games. Those were the only four players on the team.

    Scottie Pippen is an NBA Hall of Famer and was in the prime of his career and there were some solid guys around him, and the NBA as a whole wasn't all that great in the mid to late 90s. My point is Pippen's supporting cast was worse than Jordan's in '93 and the Bulls wound up 2 wins worse. Scottie Pippen is probably the most underrated player in NBA history because he was stuck in Jordan's shadow the entire time. LBJ doesn't have a Scottie Pippen. He could come to the Bulls next year, and he still wouldn't have a Scottie Pippen. The '93 Bulls had lots of injuries and the '92 Bulls won 67 games. The '93 Bulls' record isn't really an accurate barometer.

    So is Anderson Varejo JJ Hickson isn't He's not great, but in '88 the Bulls were freaking awful. Pippen and Grant were nothing. They won 50 games and were the 3 seed. Wait, so LeBron is God and the rest of the Cavs blow and they win 60+ games, but when the Bulls won 50 in '88 it was because MJ's supporting cast was so good? That's convenient.

    I have no problem with Castro out of the 8 spot, its just funny to me that once again Lou says one thing repeatedly, and then within a week he completely ignores what he said. In a related story, Tyler Colvin has started once in the month of May.

    I've never in my life seen a baseball team with so many guys playing at least reasonably well that sucked so much.

    Notre Dame is finalizing a home and home with Gonzaga and will host the Bulldogs on Dec. 11th. They're going to play Kentucky on Dec. 8th in Freedom Hall for the Big East/SEC Invite. Between that and the Old Spice Classic, we should have three good non-conference games, which will be up from squadoosh this last season.

    You're not sure why they would extend an offer to ND? In light of the statements coming from the athletic department, yes. Especially after all those reports that the Big Ten wasn't going to offer them anything and that they'd basically have to beg on their knees to get membership. Statements aren't all that meaningful, actions speak louder than words, and it was quite obvious all along that the big ten was going to make a push for ND. Nobody should be surprised that they would make an offer. Fair enough. I think I'm more with Butters's post three above this one than I am any other in this thread.

    Missouri in the Big Ten makes sense. What I'm not sure about is why they extended ND an offer when the athletic director has been saying only a seismic shift would make that happen. Pre-emptive move I guess?

    If you ask me the Reds should have gone for the two-point conversion on that touchdown.
  18. Andy
    I think it's fair to open the debate of whether John Grabow was a worse signing than Aaron Miles.

    SNEAKY POWER HAS BEEN FOUND SALAMI STYLE
  20. Andy
    Wow, oops. I thought I saw that hit off a fan. Just off the line, which means it's not a homer after all.
  21. Andy
    That's a homer. Come on, umps, easy call.
  22. Andy
    The ump is completely inept. It's a coin flip whether he calls anything within 6 inches a strike. Marshall, on the other hand, is not inept.
  23. Andy
    That all being said, hopefully Colvin is in the lineup tomorrow or Sunday, it's been a while since he got a start. Keep him fresh, because he didn't look it on that strikeout.
  24. Andy
    The geniuses broadcasting for the Reds now saying that were it not for the three big contracts in the outfield, Colvin would play everyday. I'm sure Soriano, Byrd and Fukudome all hitting over .310 with power has nothing to do with it.

    What a bum
