  1. I understand what you're saying. I just don't get why you assumed I put that stuff on my car... My car is a Silver SXT and has nothing on it. Same way I bought it. I'd feel like a moron driving around in a "souped up" Neon. Even my kids at daycamp would make fun of me if I did that.
  2. [Clutch discussion quotes moved to the Clutch or Not thread]. Why is the link to the clutch thread taking me to the member guidelines in FAQ's?
  3. They are only cool if you put a bunch of race stickers on them, fart can muffler and a bunch of really neat gauges that light up at night! What? Hey sorry, some of us aren't rich enough to afford all those exotic cars and idiotic looking things (like you described) on their cars.
  4. I drive a Neon, what is so awful about them?
  5. How can you hate that which you do not know? i don't know jack bauer, i don't want to know anything about jack bauer, jack bauer is dead to me. I don't know socialism, i don't want to know anything about socialism, socialism is dead to me.
  6. You don't deserve to watch 24. Jack Bauer disagrees. Cannot wait for 24. Hope the game ends quickly so I can see Jack kill lots of people and thwart terrorist attempts only to learn there's a bigger one lying ahead.
  7. I'm rooting for Carolina, but I just don't see them pulling it out at the end. Late pick by Harris. Bears 13 Panthers 10
  8. I'm probably the only one who thinks this is pure crap. Sports Weekly has a long history of reporting "hot news" in their Buzz column(or whatever they call it, their 10 word blurbs) and almost always, has zero merit to it.
  9. Terrible effort tonight sans Noc and Kirk. Team looked asleep on both sides of the ball. Also looked like they were exploiting our lack of size all evening.
  10. How bad is NU if they lose AT HOME to a god awful Penn State team!?
  11. I'm SHOCKED to see zero questions on the Wood fiasco from last season. Hopefully someone from here asks Dusty and Larry about it at the Convention. I will be greatly disappointed if they don't.
  12. Not every team gets the "hometown discount" contracts like the Loo. Houston's gotta pay like everyone else.
  13. Len, great to see you Q&A'in it up again. Much appreciation for your time. What were your thoughts on the whole Kerry Wood experiment out of the bullpen? It proved to be a minor shot in the arm (no pun intended at the time) but in the grand scheme of things was pretty insignificant as the Cubs faltered further and further. On top of that, do you feel it was wise AT ALL to have Woody going out there to pitch the day before he's to have surgery on his arm?
  14. go dobby, if my guys get healthy, you're done for.
  15. I really wish I could be there for that Q&A with management again. I get annoyed greatly by the ass kissing questions. Glad that last year that was kept to a minimum. Hope the grill session is on.
  16. OU is overrated again. Come tourney time, they'll be a pretty easy out like they usually are.
  17. No. No, it's not. Oh wow. That is truly awful.
  18. Holy crap, you are far away from home...
  19. Lots of guys say that -- that they'll take less money to stay -- few do. Wallace might be one of those guys. I'd give him every opportunity to change his mind. Besides, Tayshaun Prince is a restricted free agent this summer. Dumars might not be able to afford both. Not a lot of guys out there after Wallace. I don't have any interest in Peja and I hope Paxson doesn't either. If Wallace signs with the Pistons, that's when you try to pull off the big trade. Prince was recently signed to a 5 year 47 million dollar extension: I wholeheartedly agree with you on Peja. He'd be a miserable fit here.
  20. I'd love Ben here, but I don't think he'll leave Detroit. He'd take less money to stay (from what I've heard, considering they basically gave him a chance when no one else would) I hope Pax makes the Bulls attractive again for prospective FA's.
  21. Boston might take Gordon for Pierce -- if the Bulls included Deng. No thanks, and I doubt Ben's going anywhere. I'm assuming Thomas goes too? I still think Gordon, Thomas, number one pick gets it done.
  22. I prefer to look at it like Pax is increasing Gordo's trade value.
  23. Seems that way, Dave. Pretty good game tonight by the Bulls with an almost awful collapse after being up 23. I can't imagine Skiles was pleased at all that they let the Raptors back in the game from that point.
  24. Good for him. I'd be glad he's doing well. That's not what I meant and you know it! If you are now saying that he has no chance of regaining his skills, what will you say if he has a decent season? What are we qualifying as a decent season? League average for a CF? Under those circumstances, I'd say that he may have been emotionally drained in Chicago and a fresh start in Baltimore was good for him. I don't know enough about Perlozzo or their hitting coach to make an accurate gauge right now on him. If there's an adjustment he makes while being there, so be it, good for him. Reverse the question to you, Tim: If Corey has an equally bad season, what will you say, then? My mistake on the Von Joshua comment.
  25. I'm not gonna disagree at all, but lets end this before it starts because it will become forty pages on whether its ok to boo or not.
