  1. Then he should just retire now because skipping a few games isn't going to keep him from being sore after his playing days. To me it's pretty clear he was trying to talk about avoiding the complications that would potentially come from suffering yet another major injury (or two or three...) as opposed to just normal pro basketball player wear and tear. He just can't talk to the press without tripping up over himself. You don't need to justify what he said because what he actually said is stupid.
  2. Walton's the exception to the rule; most pro basketball players don't have to deal with debilitating injuries or serious chronic pain. Bringing up football players and what they have to deal with when we're talking basketball players is just ridiculous. Rose sitting out now has everything to do with him being healthy for the stretch and nothing to do with him being sore at a birthday party; he's just an idiot who has no idea how to talk. I mean, you realize that if he's serious about this he'd sit out games that actually mean something, right? It's just a stupid thing to say.
  3. Curt Schilling, of course, doesn't believe in evolution: http://deadspin.com/curt-schilling-has-disproved-evolution-1658184048
  4. At first I thought this was in response to the Tavarez DUI news, like the 5 cardinals you'll meet in hell or something. Nobody dresses that classy in Hell.
  5. This so [expletive] weird. It's like he realizes he's a professional athlete but he doesn't have the awareness to understand it's not football. To be fair, most basketball players don't suffer catastrophic knee injuries two seasons in a row, so Rose's perspective on how the game can impact you is different than most. He's just so damn dense and has zero sense as to how he should say anything to the press. This could have been easily spun as he and the team are making sure he's good to go for the long run and he's working his way back; the nonsense about his post-basketball life should have never come up.
  6. Every face is more punchable than the last.

  9. I think they're all just increasingly flawed clones of the dude on the left.
  10. Nobody is a perfect fit for a Trestman system. He's a sham.
  11. No, still frowned upon by the moral police of this board. Are you kidding? Have you seen imb's cardinals in hell collage? Go read the locked thread. Go step on a land mine.

  15. It wouldn't be surprising if they do win a few games here on out to screw up a top 8 pick since the schedule does get easier. Definitely; plus I refuse to believe that the offense simply forgot how to play football. They'll pull some wins out of their asses. I'm expecting 7-9 to end the year. 7-9 assumes 4-3 the rest of the way, meaning they have to pull off an upset against one of Detroit (2 games), Dallas or New Orleans (or more upsets if they lose to Minnesota or Tampa). I expect 3-4 the rest of the way. Oh, an upset is a given. That's how they roll.
  16. It would all be worth it.

  18. I fully expect the Bears to win this in semi-commanding fashion just to give us shreds of false hope and to [expletive] up their draft standing.
  19. That's a gigantic, sloppy fart of a leap to a conclusion. That's George Costanza leaping like a Mary over a puddle. Kreutz was a good player. Kretuz was known for being a gigantic prick. That's it.
  20. The offense [expletive] sucked, so I don't know why you want to keep giving him credit for that.
  21. http://www.gifbin.com/bin/032010/reverse-1269602956_dr-mccoy-and-captain-kirk-approve.gif I think I'd prefer him over Hamels.
  22. Great! My willingness to trade him is based out of concern, not actively hoping he fails, so it's not like a player on my favorite team turning out to be good would be a bad thing. It might ruin our draft position and cost us the next Kris Bryant. http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2012/11/face-slap.gif
  23. So was Urlacher, but despite that he still knew how to manage the team, and especially when it came to managing the defense during the game. There's nothing to indicate Kreutz had anything along those lines. Both were sadistic dickheads, but one actually (accidentally?) also knew how to lead a team. Pretty sure Kreutz was an all-pro who called all the protections at the line. He had street cred, he wasn't some limp dick off the street. Yeah, he ran the OL, not the team or the offense or the defense. Whoopedy-[expletive]. He was a good player who was a mook and got his kicks intimidating his own teammates.

  25. Come in, it's Lord Strikeout, Tons of Fun and Inevitable Reliever. If the Phillies could be tricked in to that there should be wine and orgies.
