The Turkey Place is Jaffa Cafe I believe. I eat around that area every day, Venice Cafe is a nice place if you like cheap and big portions. They also have some good calzones, slices of pizza. A lot of people eat Baccino's pizza (on Clinton). My Thai in presidential towers is supposed to be good. And always The Market in Presidential Towers, for like $6 they have the executive meal which is a sandwich, soup, and drink.

Bo Ryan credit's a Knight camp as one of his biggest influences for coaching. One of the best ever, just didnt go out of his way to please people.

Goodell is such an idiot. Specter may be grandstanding, but still Goodell's story is puzzeling. He said he destroyed the tapes so that if any other evidence surfaced hed know that the Pats were lieing. The problem is this: Goodell is the only one who saw the tapes. If any evidence comes out, Goodell is the only person who can say whether or not this is "new" or "old" evidence. If he really wanted to catch the Pats lieing, he would have stored all of the evidence, so he could compare any "new" evidence to that they already have.

I think the Oceanic 6 are: 3 Have been confirmed (Jack, Kate, Hurley) 3 unconfirmed: Sun, Claire, Rose Man in the casket: Michael (He is from NY)

????? Thats just stupid.

Big 10 is tough. It has no super powers, but the top 5-7 teams can all give anyone a good game on any given night. Especially at home, Big 10 teams are rough. And Wisconsin handled Indiana last night, pretty much sleep walked through the entire game until Indiana got it to 7 in the closing minutes. Hard to imagine Wisconsin shooting much worse (34.5% over all) and 3-20 from 3, so it was nice that they still were able to control the the entire game. Bohannon, Hughes, and Flowers went 1-15 from behind the arc, and all 3 have shot over 30% for the season so it was just a really bad shooting night for the guards. Big game against Minnesota on Sunday before the Super Bowl, then to Iowa, and then revenge at home against Purdue.

We are getting to leave at 12. Which is odd because it stopped snowing but whatever.

His name was R.O.B (Robotic Operating Buddy).

I watched last nights episode (again) and im ready for Lost to return.

This is what I posted in the original Swisher thread, I stand by it:

Im sorry but I dont care how long Tiger plays. Montana's legacy > Palmer, Golden Bear, Hogan, whoever else you want to name. Why? Because: Football>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> x infinity golf Once again, this is not as simple as money, legacy, or anything. I would rather be a football player. Now granted I would trade 200k and playing football to be Tiger Woods, but Brady has enough money, and gets to play a great sport. He then can coach/gm etc, if he wants. For all of Tigers money he will never be Super Bowl MVP, and thats worth more than all the money in the world.

Id rather be Brady. Id rather be JP Losman than Woods. Football >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Golf I dont care about the money, the fame, any of it. Id rather just be able to play the game.

Purdue v Wisconsin about to tip off, Wisconsin has never played well at Purdue so this should be a close one.

If the Sox some how get Cain with the main piece being Crede, they really have done well for themselves.

He won an award at the Outback bowl given by Joe Montana as the best college QB last year. He looked pretty good. Hes from Cali so no real surprise there.

Well he will have his chance to prove that his greatness. I hope he does well, hes just gotten off to a rough start.

No the point of your argument was clear: The team wasnt talented and was lazy. Billy brought in a new style and they were unable to adapt to it very quickly because the players were untalented and lazy. The fact that these players are even able to win any games is a testament to how great Billy is, as Tubby left him with nothing, absolutely nothing. Tubby was a bad recruiter and lazy. His teams were lazy. He is a lazy coach. Apathetic, not giving enough effort, laziness, you might as well just say "lazy" over and over again. You clearly are a big UK fan and actually care about the team, I as an outsider who frankly could care less about UK just does not agree with your assessment that Billy has been an "insanely good" coach. I guess my standards of "insanely good" are a little higher than yours. Which is odd because half way in your post you say how Kentucky has such high standards... He might be doing a decent job, maybe even good, but "insanely good", thats where I think it becomes strained.

Sorry I misspelled it 1 time. I spelled it right to begin with but did not think that his spelling was relevant to the discussion. But it is noted, should you ever spell a name wrong 1 time, I will be all over you and remind you that the only way an argument is going to be legit is if you spell every word right. Its a clever argument, all of the blame is placed on Tubby, but the question is does it make sense: So let me get this straight. Tubbys players were: Lazy, unathletic, and should not be playing at the NCAA level. Yet Tubby with all these terrible playes won 20+ games. Now Self comes in, these lazy terrible players all of a sudden regress to .500? Something has to give, its a simple equation same players + different coach= drastic decline in record. And why are Minnesota's untalented players buying into Tubby? Minnesota has less talent than Kentucky, but has more wins. Its team only won 9 games last year, he already has eclipsed that. You can make all the excuses that you want that players are lazy, cant understand the system, etc... But the facts are they lost their last 2 road games to unranked teams, and this upset occurred in their own arena. (which just shows how sad the state of Kentucky basketball is when its an upset to win at your own court which you should never lose at) And whats odd is that you complain about the lack of talent/recruiting but since 2004: 2004: 3 five star, 1 four star 2005: 2 four star 2006: 3 four star To me thats not to bad of talent. Maybe its not at the top tier like UNC, KU, but its still enough talent to make the NCAA tournament, and thats where Billy's (im not going to use his last name cause i dont want to spell it wrong so sorry for any disrespect billy) problem lies. He does have the players, he just is not getting as much as Tubby was out of them. You can say he was lazy, etc, but he clearly got more out of his players. You said that he was an "insanely good" coach. I just dont consider it a great job when a coach takes over a team that should never miss an NCAA tournament and makes them a bubble team. /shrugs You can complain about my grammar and sentence structure as well if it will keep you warm at night.

Well its just shocking to say Gillispie is an insanely good coach when: 1. Kentucky had a preseason ranking of 20 in AP and 22 in ESPN. 2. Kentucky has a 16 season NCAA tourney streak. 3. Since 2001 here are Kentuckys final win/loss: 2001-2: 20-10 2002-3: 32-4 2003-4: 27-5 2004-5: 28-6 2005-6: 22-13 2006-7: 22-12 Current Record: 8-9 Barring a finish of 12-4 or better Kentucky will finish with its worst record in 6+ years. Tubby Smith on the other hand has Minnesota at: 12-5 2001-2: 18-12 2002-3: 19-14 2003-4: 12-18 2004-5: 21-11 2005-6: 16-15 2006-7: 9-22 As you can see, Tubby already has more wins this year for Minnesota than they did all of last year. If he can win even 7 more games this season it will be Minnesota's second best in the last 6+ years. If he can win 9 games it will tie for Minnesota's best season. Its hard for me to consider Gillespie as doing an "insanely good" job when he took a team that has been a NCAA lock and has made them a bubble team. And the coach he replaced has taken a team that was a cupcake, not even going to make the NIT, to a bubble NCAA team. Gillespie may be a good coach, but hes done really nothing this year to prove that. If anything he has shown to be over rated. Can I take race for 1000 Alex?

Im sorry I dont really think its out of line for a roast. Would this really be newsworthy if Jacobson wasnt jewish? My answer is no.

haha i wish it was only several hundred dollars I rent and I lose because i gain no equity. I rent and I win because I dont have to worry about if I lost 20k on my property, or about having to pay a mortgage, or about tax assessments. If you are going for long term its always better to buy. If you are short term, renting is usually better even with the loss of equity. And if your living in Cook County, always pay your taxes, its no fun to get your taxes bought from under you.

Fotop,

Even if it was alien it was more reptilian than any other animal form (maybe amphibian but I thought that its structure looked reptile.) So did anyone else watch the tv show surface?

I dont get all the hate for Illinois and Weber. Indiana? Are you kidding me. If it wasnt for that whole Eric Gordon situation, the roles would be entirely reversed. Gordon and Pruitt is just the same as Gordon and White. Not to mention you actually talk about Bruce Weber?? How many recruiting violations does Bruce Weber have? Any team can make noise when they hire guys like Huggins, Sampson, etc who are willing to do anything to get players, willing to break any rule to win. But dont expect to get any respect for it. As for KU, come on, when is the last time the great KU was in the NCAA finals? Its easy to be a big fish in a little pond.

Its mysteriously lableed as "RCN Plus" and says "No Data".
