it was only a matter of time... sign him up! :D

that little girl sittin there lookin too cool for school is awesome.

3-4 more days of all this. Joy. That can only be good for the Bulls (if you want to read anything into it that way...it'd be wise not to). Yeah, announcing that you've officially decided to leave right before, or during, a 3-day PR friendly event in your hometown wouldn't be the best idea...

You know what, I would not turn down watching a Bulls team with Rose/Wade/James led Bulls team. I tell ya that. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-wadelebronbulls072010 And now you have this ^^^ who believe the Bulls not only are pushing for a Wade/James partnership (now, I think both Wade and Bulls are using each other to get what each other wants: Wade-Bosh to Miami, and Bulls-James to Chicago) but apparently the Bulls have a deal in place that could send Deng out of Chicago for a "serviceable center." (< I'm thinking either Okur or Gortat) This crap has gotten real and hot in a NY minute. When i Heard "serviceable center" i got to thinking about guys who have similar contracts - what about Tyson Chandler? Is that a possibility? Shoulda looked it up before I posted. Chandler makes 12.7 this year and will then be FA. Deng makes 11.3 and has 4 years remaining. So..that's probably not it. If we're getting a C back for Deng, would it be logical to assume that Noah would be on his way out too? I hope not, but I'd still do it...

Agreed... dude is a beast. Blows all the other available safties out of the water in terms of turnovers generated. We'd have to overpay to get him though, since StL has the right to match any deal.

Rolle, Atogwe, Clark, and now Gibril Wilson available too... I'm psyched about Peppers, and happy that we may be entering next season with an upgraded RB platoon, but with this many above average safties available I'll be EXTERMELY disappointed if we don't upgrade there as well.

Here ya go... This one was definitely my favorite. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/50/Liudmila_Privivkova_Vancouver_2010.jpg

Jeez... Every single member of the female Russian curling team is 19 - 23 and freaking gorgeous. I kinda want us to lose now.

Yeah... I'm gonna give most of the credit to the saint in the elevator and the irrationality of both the sonics owner and their season-ticket-holding fanbase.

So I was just driving home and tuned in to WGN to get an update on kennedy traffic and Kaplan was on telling a story about how he single-handedly broke up a trade between the bulls and sonics the year after Jordan retired the first time. Apparently on draft day there was a done deal, pending a few physicals, to ship Pippen to the sonics for Kemp, their 1st round pick, and another player i've never heard of. Kaplan is working the draft for ESPN1000 and, while standing in an elevator, strikes up a conversation with an agent's personal assistant who had happened to recognize him. The agent's assistant introduces himself and says he'll be seeing a lot more of him in chicago since their biggest client, Shawn Kemp, just got traded to the bulls. Kap makes some phone calls, verifies the story with some sources, and breaks it on ESPN1000. Some stations in Seattle pick up on it and run the story as well, causing the sonics fanbase to flip out... they start calling to cancel their season tickets in droves because they A) are upset that the face of their franchise and their 1st round pick are being traded, and B) don't realize how good Scottie Pippen actually is since he's been in Jordan's shadow his whole career. The sonics owner craps a brick over the perceived fan revolt, and calls his GM and says he's no longer authorizing the trade. The front office tries as hard as they can to convince him to change his mind, but to no avail. The trade is dead. Apparently Kemp was about an hour away from landing at O'hare and 2 hours away from taking his physical and finalizing the trade when the deal got nixed. GM's from both sides said there were no trade discussions and threw Kaplan under the bus to save face, and the story died out. Years later Kaplan runs into an old acquaintance, they start to catch up, and the guy mentions he worked in the sonics front office for a few years in the mid 90's. Kaplan brings up the nixed trade and the guy starts talking about how they were so pumped and couldn't believe how bad they were fleecing the bulls, trading Kemp and all of his off the court issues for Pippen, only to have some Chicago beat reporter SOB ruin everything at the last second. Kaplan says, "meet the SOB." He had this acquaintance on as a guest after he finished the story and he backed up everything Kap was saying. I forget his first name, but his last name was Wheeler and he's working for either the trailblazers front office or the portland sports media in some capacity now. Crazy. How the hell do you try to trade Scottie Pippen in the early/mid 90's...

I know, right? Who wants to see stuff where people compete based on time or other tangible factors. I'd much rather see a panel of judges score the participants arbitrarily. Basically, if it's not a race or curling, it's a waste of time. Which is like 80% of the Winter games. That's really not that much different from the Summer Games. Basketball, Softball, Swimming, Track and Field, Boxing, Tennis, Volleyball, etc. There are far more games that fit TT's description in the summer games. Seriously!?! The only judged events in the winter olympics are figure skating, freestyle skiing, and snowboarding, everything else is time or point based. The summer olympics have gymnastics, diving, and synchronized swimming as judged events with the others being point/time based. Its pretty much the same. Given that, I'd rather watch people wipeout while going a bajillion miles an hour down a mountain or on a bobsled WAY more than watch people run in circles, swim laps, throw javelins, row a boat, etc.

good god... they make it look like child's play. 9th game in a row with 4+ goals. :cool:

I love the guy, but someone needs to learn Dez how to spoke...

I'm just spit-ballin here, but if he's past his baggage/wrongdoing (which i doubt), you know who wouldn't be a horrible #2 QB who could also come in and run a hell of a wildcat... Mike Vick.

It's genius. Our best reliever stays in the most flexible and effective role, and because he's not getting saves he won't cost us as much in arbitration keeping payroll down next year. Two birds, one stone... GENIUS! For those saying Marmol feels slighted, I HIGHLY doubt he'll still be holding a grudge in 3 years.

So all i need is Dallas to cover the 7 pt spread tomorrow night and i'll win my weekly confidence pick em pool and a nice little chunk of change... LETS GO ROMO!!! :clapping:

So i found a really good price for some rooftop tickets to the game on the 21st against the cardinals and jumped all over em. The rooftop address is 3643 n. Sheffield, anyone been on that one before? If so, hows the view/service? -mods feel free to move this if its in the wrong section!

Nick Swisher - .201/.330/.310 for an amazing .640 OPS through 184 at bats. If only everyone the sox picked up had their OPS drop 200 points...

Now if we could just figure it out on the road... if you can sustain a .750 winning % at home, who cares what you do on the road There are only 5 teams in baseball that currently have a winning record on the road... home field advantage has been pretty ridiculous league-wide so far this year.

Why are you smiling? Because I know something you don't. And what is that? I...am not left handed. Yeah princess bride. Anyone else get a flashback of the Sammy Pepsi commercial. umm... its a silhouette, it could be either left handed or right handed. your either looking at the back of a right handed batter or the front of a left handed batter.

Did you hate John Elway too? What about Bo Jackson? I was pretty indifferent on Elway. And who could hate the man who dominated Tecmo Bowl? What does CHRISTIAN OKOYE have to do with this?

There were some Wallace and Tyrus for McGrady rumors floating around last week... And do you think they'd want just Wallace alone? I don't think so. Tyrus would be the core of that deal. I don't care who they really want, as long as they are willing to take Wallace with him.
