Well, that poster would be sweet for the Riddler. It's quite well made. I wish it were legit.

The Olympics in Chicago would be incredibly good for the city, and I'd be incredibly excited to see it happen.

Got mine at Champs.

Tropic Thunder was really bad. Anyone over the age of like 14 will probably agree. It was f***ing stupid, but not in a good way. I laughed like 5 times, and they were either at RDJ or . Ben Stiller was not funny Jack Black was not funny The jokes were soooo juvenile. It was just terrible.

Caucasion 75% German, 25% who the f*** knows, and 100% awesome.

link Let me just say, this thing is going beyond hoax. This body has been confirmed as existing and it's being tested. My buddy called me because it was legitimately on CNN. How f***ed up would that be if Bigfoot actually existed? Regardless, since it's probably a hoax, it's a pretty good one.

Soitenly. Make sure I'm in a league with Knightni, Knightni.

I didnt ruin anything besides for those who are big TC fans, but it seems to have only been you hah. Sorry bro No, I didn't know he was in the movie. I presume he's in there to play a stunt double for Ben Stiller though, since they have a history of that sort of thing. Maybe I'm off, should be funny either way.

You might want to edit the above post too. The entire thing was a spoiler. If you say anything about a movie that's not in the previews, its a spoiler. I don't know how "everyone" would know that he's got a cameo in the movie. I didn't know, why would I assume he's got a random cameo? No one else has said. I you had known Will Ferrell was going to be in Wedding Crashers that would have killed his cameo. Half the fun is not knowing they are coming.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 07:25 PM) Yeah I saw it yesterday, I thought it was great at the beginning, the middle had some boring points, then the end was just awesome. Not spoilers, That is a f***ing spoiler. Thanks a lot. Your whole f***ing post was a f***ing spoiler. f***.

It should not be instated mid-season.

Very good synopsis, Jeremy. You have to love the Gooch!

Everyone loves that picture. Happy b-day, Carl, TRU, Shadows, Turd.

What the f*** is going on!?

Very good news. With him and Beckham in, we're looking better.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:12 PM) I see your point with the Cubs/Sox comparison, but that pales into comparison with the Olympics. It's the single greatest sporting event in the world. I have yet to see ANY coverage on soccer, very little on water polo, nothing on handball, and numerous other sports. There has been a ton of water polo on MSNBC (UHD for the HD MSNBC feed). I have also seen PLENTY of handball (pretty dumb, who couldn't score a damn goal in that), and soccer and boxing are there as well. USA's live stuff from 1am on has a lot of interesting stuff too. NBC likes showing the live feeds because it gets the most ratings (and these Olympics are extremely high rated), but the stuff you crave IS available.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 12:45 PM) Gotta love the media. I'm sure you could have a friend back in Serbia hook up a slingbox or watch the Serbian channel that covers the Olympics through your satellite... since this American media is just so terrible. You know, the American media you digest 24 hours a day. Better shut that TV off right now, actually, because that American media is about to cover this White Sox game. That American Ken Harrelson is such a homer too. Face it, you live in America, the media is going to be biased toward the home country. The only person who can stop the ingestion of the terrible American media is you, by turning off the tv, not logging into soxtalk, not going to American Website... not doing all the American things you like to do in this country. This doesn't mean I love you any less, but I'm tired of you complaining about America in this thread with nothing to back it up.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 12:37 AM) you can't argue with that, so you deal with the d-bags. Still, I have a feeling this team doesn't make the playoffs with Savard as coach, and although were taking in more money... i'm not thrilled with Tallon's handling of the cap... after awhile, the buzz will die down and they'll be expected to WIN, not just put games on television. I think Rocky, and McDonough understand this... which is satisfying. They're getting in the playoffs, I have no doubt about that. The natural progression of Kane/Toews and the rest of our youth, coupled with the upgrade to our goaltending and adding one of the top PP point men in the league all but guarantees a playoff berth.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 09:34 AM) Picked up Madden last night for the first since the 05 version. I'm pretty impressed thus far. Graphics are good (though still not great - what's with the player models when they run? It doesn't look realistic at all), gameplay is much improved, and overall I think I'm happy. I also really like the rewind feature. In previous years I'd get burned on a terrible, unrealistic play (like last night - Manning to Harrison on a slant at their 10 yard line, breaking through 4-5 tacklers, including Urlacher and Briggs, for a 80 something yard TD). But now when that happens I can rewind it and continue on. My biggest complaint is that for some reason during kickoffs you never get the chance to switch players. It's pretty much up to the computer if I get to use Hester or not - seems that I should be able to have the option to have him run over and catch it, but because of the camera angle I don't have the option and/or time to do it. I didn't mess with the options too much, hopefully there's a camera angle fix for that. I also don't understand how the Bears are an overall 85, but... What's everyone elses Madden IQ? I scored a mediocre 560 something. I can't pass for crap and I can't stop anyone who is running. But my run attack is Madden level and my pass defense is nearly Madden level. To solve your Hester issues, the AI kicks it away from him a lot, but if you substitute before hte kickoff and switch hester to the other side, it tends to work. Although, returning a kick rather far isn't that easy. The game is awesome though, after struggling to run the first three games, Forte busted out for 131 and 2 td's for me. But no one really cares about that. Oh, and I refuse to use the rewind feature, I have mine set to 0. Fluke plays happen in real life, and I think it takes away from the realism to be able to rewind something that happened. I do have a question though, has anyone figured out how to challenge a play?

QUOTE (earthshiner @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 11:15 AM) I've never seen hitters look so foolish at the plate as I did during Shingo's first year. They just couldn't wait long enough. It was an awesome season. Torii Hunter hated Shingo!

I'm sure they know, this technology has been around awhile, but I'm also sure they just don't care.

Lance should really just try to get on ABC's "The Bachelor" or something if his baseball career doesn't start to take off soon.
