Holy crap, Russell Westbrick let's old man Parker go off for 42!

Does everyone who battles an addiction have to do it under the spotlight of news organizations pointing out each slip up? When you author a book, detailing your triumph over addiction, are not you at least partly responsible for part of that spotlight? http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Belief-Finding-Strength-Come/dp/1599951614 At least he can write part II now.

You are coming off as extremely ignorant in this thread. You have no idea what it's like to fight addiction, you honestly have no right to judge. He has had a couple slip ups, and considering his occupation and the lifestyle that goes with it, that's pretty impressive. A good success rate for rehab is about 20% of the people recovering, it's not an easy thing to do. I have had people very close to me deal with it, so I'd say Josh is doing pretty well. Maybe you should get your facts straight before you get on a roll that ends up making you look like an idiot. Hater's gonna hate. You're not special. Everyone has had someone they know battle an addiction. I've seen people I know lose their families, jobs, (not be able to get a new job once they have stuff on their record). So you can save me that part of your speech. It still doesn't change the fact they what I said is true. Hamilton has had access to resources for this, resources above and beyond what 99% of the rest of the population would get in a similar stance. If Josh Hamilton wasn't a phenomenal baseball player would anyone be lining up to employ him? He's had the best treatment programs provided to him by the baseball clubs that employ him.
-
Let's put it like this, if anyone of us here decided to constantly throw our life away to alcohol, we would lose are jobs, families, possibly wind up in jail. He's been afforded every resource in the world to battle his addiction and still makes the conscious choice to walk into the bar. That's pathetic. Don't feel bad for the guy.
-
The whole, "my life was a mess, but I found God, LOOK AT ME!, but I screwed up again, found God again" .. It's really just annoying. But whatever Josh, go find Jesus again.

http://www.deviantart.com/download/182083235/maximum_trolling_by_synknight-d30eobn.gif Last year Hamilton was doing a freakin church tour around the country bragging about being a "BAC". He even came to a church in the south suburbs of chicago, I think Tinley Park. The dudes a fraud. And yes it is hilarious.
-
I find this hillarious.
-
Hes not really much of a low post scorer anymore. He does have that nice fadaway, and to his credit, hes still pretty efficient with It. God help him and us if that goes away
-
How fitting that Boozer would bring back the MVP in Amare, who has been pretty much terrible all year. I could only laugh at his matador defense at times God, please let Mirotic be good so we can move on.

We stinks

The Chicago Bulls cannot match what the Laker's offer. Bynum is healthy and playing like an all star this year. He is still 26 years old. Yeah, he has the injury history, but Noah hasn't been the picture of health either. Bynum is clearly a better asset at this point. Then you have Gasol, who, Orlando could either take, or Gasol could be spun off in a 3 way deal for younger players and assetts. And as for the Bulls, Deng, who was going to be a major chip for you, has a wrist that needs surgery. He's gutting it out now but is Orlando going to take on a player that is currently injured? It sure isn't going to help the cause. Ok I'm done trolling.
-
And can we please stop underrating Deng? I did for a while, because I didn't think he's score effciently enough, but he's a huge part of this team and our best defensive player. I would argue he's the best defensive 3 in the league.
-
So you'd trade Deng, Taj and picks for Pau Gasol? I'm not sure what your motive is for that. For me, it's about getting past Miami and I just don't think we've got an answer for Bosh. We're never going to have an answer for Lebron anyway, so I'm willing to concede Lebron dominating us, but Pau plays extremely well against Bosh and would be a legit second scorer for us. He's excellent defensively and he's probably the best passing big guy in the NBA. There's 96 minutes at 4/5, so you could go 36 with Pau and give Noah and Boozer about 30 each. Like I said, I'd trade Asik for a 3 at that point as well and if we have to sign someone to replace him, I'd go with Sheed(assuming he's in shape). It'd give us Noah, Pau, Boozer, and Sheed up front, with 3 being open to whatever we trade for and Korver as the backup, Hamilton and Brewer at the 2(maybe JR as well, if rumors are true) with Rose and CJ. I like that. Maybe Deng and Taj is enough to get Pau, without giving up picks on our end, but I kind of doubt it. Rasheed Wallace hasn't played in the NBA in two years, and when he did he was awful.
-
Well, you two have fun in your fantasy land where Dwight is a possibility. I'll be laughing at you from reality. He isn't coming.
-
If Bynum is so great why do the Lakers stink? Really? You are going there?
-
He is the deal: 1) Andrew Bynum trumps anything the Bulls can offer for Howard. 2) Howard "actually" wants to play there 3) If LA doesn't trade him for pieces better than we can offer, and he leaves via free agency, we don't have the cap space to get him. So stop talking about Dwight to the Bulls, it isn't happening.

My feelings on Emery will take a process to explain, and in explaining them, you will understand the process of my explanation.

oh and Tim Ruskell fired.

So, apparently, Phil Emery is referenced a TON, in "The War Room", by Michael Holley. I'm actually going to pick the book up when I get a chance, but here are some online excerpts from the book, with "Emery-specific" search results. http://books.google.com/books?id=k-iqNejz9qoC&printsec=frontcover&dq=war+room&hl=en&sa=X&ei=P_AkT9PnMIiKgwfB_Iy1Dw&ved=0CDoQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=emery&f=false Love, LOVE, his philosophy on running backs. Put it like this, if Emery is our GM in 2007, there is no way in hell we waste a pick on Garrett Wolfe. Might I say, I'm warming up a bit to this hire? Lots of good stuff I read there.
-
Of course they mean something, Johnson is a more productive wide reciever. You can't always write off number of targets as an excuse for a WR not putting up numbers, part of it is getting open to make the catch. Dude, it's not even close.
-
As for the physicall comparisons, Johnson is two inches taller and about 20 pounds heavier. He can fight off the DB on that slant route all day. He's a more polished route runner. The only thing Knox may have is straightline speed, they are really nothing alike. I will say this for Johnson, I watched both Jet/Bills games this year, and he just embarrassed Revis on occassions. Does that mean he is worth #1 WR money? No, I thought I just toss that out there.
-
i just don't think johnson is much better, if at all. 2011 REC Yards TDs 82 1073 10 37 727 2 2010 REC Yards TDs 76 1004 7 51 960 5 Yeah, clearly they are neck and neck :bye:

Was not expecting that. I heard it was a high ankle sprain for Taj and he could be gone for an entire month possibly.
