  1. http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/92505299.html So Id have to imagine Brust is going to Wisconsin if Wisconsin was a major part of appealing the Big 10's original decision.
  2. Ive been following Rolle since he went to FSU, my guess is that his 4.69 40 time is what is hurting his stock. Had he run a sub 4.6 my guess is hes a mid round pick regardless of what he did last year.
  3. I wish the Bears would take a flier on Myron Rolle.
  4. You mean Russel better watch out for Parvarti. Parvarti has a few different ways she can go, where as Russel only has Parvarti.
  5. How do you evaluate "noticed more". South Park didnt even run the episode as new and didnt run the episode at the normal playback. You had to have watched last weeks episode, to even know that it was going to be on as it was part 2. I disagree completely with your statement that they edited it for attention. Especially because it was done by Comedy Central, against the wishes of Matt and Trey.
  6. Fail It is "you're" so hilarious. Why am I paying you!
  7. Yeah I need a secretary to review my soxtalk posts. Yo ace you free?
  8. QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 01:20 PM) Or the worst case scenario is they do nothing and nobody notices and they get no press for playing the anti-free speech villains. I think its all ginned up personally. They didnt bleep out Muhammad in the first half of the episode and people noticed. In TV wars (the previous time Muhammad was going to be shown after 9/11) they never showed him and people noticed. If this was the first episode and they edited for no reason perhaps it was for publicity. But the first episode didnt edit Muhammad in the bear suit, it didnt edit his name, and people noticed.
  9. QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 11:38 AM) However, maybe the owners of a comedy channel decided, in this case, that the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. Or maybe they decided that by doing this censorship thing, it heightens the profile of both the show and the network and helps both equally. Right, the owners or powers that be, decided that they didnt want to risk terrorist retribution. Im pretty sure that the profile of the show would be the most heightened if they had actually shown Muhammad and gave the terrorists the bird.
  10. Comedy Central shouldnt have censored it. Im sorry but the entire point of the episode was to show how ridiculous it is to say "this is off limits" because you are afraid of the consequences. You cant live in fear, you cant let a small group of people dictate how we are going to live because we are afraid they might "bomb us." If we have that fear, we are not truly free and they have already won. What is great about America is that you have the right to have whatever godforsaken opinion you might have. That doesnt mean that you wont get beaten up, that doesnt mean that there are no consequences for being a douche, it just means that if you want to be a douche or a nazi or whatever, you can be as long as you dont physically harm other people. Last I checked, words, mockery, comedy dont physically harm people. No Buddhists were harmed when Buddha did a line of coke, just like no Muslims will be harmed if South Park shows Muhammad, just like no Jews are harmed if other people break kosher or if Cartman says "f***ing Jew" a thousand times over the course of the series. I dont see how this is about hate, I dont see how this is about racism. If everyone is fair game, then you arent a racist. If we want the freedom that America stands for, there are going to be consequences, there are going to be times when extremists are unhappy and try and intimidate us, but we cant let that happen. You have to give respect to Matt and Trey for not being afraid and for standing up in what they believe in (the right to speak freely).
  11. Ive never posted there nor even created a profile. I may have read 1 or 2 threads, but never have had any reason to go over there.
  12. To answer your question: The White Sox are relevant to me, therefore they are relevant. I dont care what other people think, im not a fan because its cool or because it makes all the women want me. Maybe this will cull the herd. Pre2005 the Sox werent very relevant, but this board had some great baseball discussion. Oh the days where Soxtalk was filled with rainbows, sunshine and optimism.
  13. There was no one around his seat, just his girlfriend who kept saying that they had to leave because of it.
  14. Last night a guy in the first row of the scouts seats threw up every where (it was about the 8th inning and he was super drunk). It was hilarious.
  15. I dont like the new format, especially because Thursday is a prime night for television. It would have made a lot more sense to have it on Friday night, with the second day on Saturday. That way people could go out watch the draft, etc. Thursday night booo
  16. Saw Buehrle v. Clemens a few years ago by myself. I wasnt going to pass up the game just because some one canceled.
  17. You dont have to blindly support Israel to be Jewish. This is a common passage from a Passover Haggadah: Things are always more complicated then they seem.
  18. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 19, 2010 -> 12:39 PM) I must say, since badger and I started sporting playoff beard Rally Crede's, the Hawks are undefeated. Why don't YOU make it your avatar as well? haha Last night I was going to post: Rally Beards- 1 Nashville Predators- 0 (edit) And it looks like Crede is sporting a Kane like mullet.
  19. Hopefully there are some line up changes and the offense is more productive with guys on third and less than 2 outs. Frustrating loss but its April so there is still a lot of time left.
  20. I dont think ive noticed Peavy shake AJ off once. But I havent been looking for that either.
  21. They want Peavy to get through this inning. Then Thorton is fresh for the better hitters to come.
  22. This inning Peavy has been wild. He needs to throw strikes. AJ throws outa runner
  23. Now its up to Peavy and the pen. They have the lead and need 9 outs. Peavy is supposed to be a competitor etc, so well see.
  24. I hate to say it but our 3 most competent hitters seem to be Jones, Rios and Konerko. I was pretty confident with Rios there, hes been hitting the ball pretty well.
