  1. QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 08:28 AM) If I'm an owner and negotiating contracts, I'm doing the opposite of what Bud wants and asking players to put clauses in their contracts promising they won't play in the WBC That. Selig can kiss my ass. Enjoy Japan thinking they are the greatest now because this is their World Series. It's SPRING TRAINING for American ballplayers (and other MLB players on other squads).
  2. Dude. Schilling is a lock for the HoF in my opinion.

    QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Mar 24, 2009 -> 05:03 PM) A lot of people have to understand is these movies are geared towards couples. Think about it. If you're going with your wife or girlfriend, this movie isn't a bad option at all. It's something that will keep you interested. Now if it's just a bunch of guys and such, then I Love You Man might be kind of weird and might not interest you.I went with my wife. We both agreed it was disappointing and that the funny parts are all in the previews.
  4. QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 25, 2009 -> 05:00 AM) Every start Colon has is huuuge. Damn you early risers... beat me to it!
  5. QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Mar 24, 2009 -> 12:29 PM) Isn't it somewhere in Soxtalk?????? That was where I read about it. Through the detective work of clicking to the next page in this forum... link
  6. Because that helps us SO MUCH right now! Seriously, I love Kenny, and he's done a lot, but going this long without answering CF/leadoff is inexcusable.

    QUOTE (The Bones @ Mar 24, 2009 -> 01:07 AM) BTW...Apatow had nothing to do with I Love You, Man and I like almost everything (other than Anchorman) he has produced more than I Love You, Man. Agreed. I thought I Love You, Man was really disappointing.
  8. QUOTE (rangercal @ Mar 23, 2009 -> 10:46 PM) I guess I'm not surprised. The Bulls never make any sense.
  9. QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 23, 2009 -> 10:00 PM) And at what cost? LOL, way to make s*** up...but no, defensemen are indeed paid to play in the defensive end as well. You never will get that. f*** Bryan Berard was better defensively! Blind hatred? Try blind optimism. It's funny that you think I'm in the minority among knowledgeable Hawks fans. I think people are entitled to their opinions. I have a lot of friends who are Blackhawks fans... big time Hawks fans. We're talking we go to the games, we know the players, we grew up playing the game, etc etc. We are annoyed with the Wrigley crowd that boos a top 10 scoring defenseman... you know, a guy who has completely changed our offensive approach. What's different between the offense last year and this year? Brian Campbell. (ok, and a healthy Havlat and natural progression of youngsters, but still, same players pretty much). You may be in the minority, you may not. I don't think it's laughable either way, but I certainly have not seen a poll given to "knowledgeable Hawks fans" to lay basis to anyone's claims. However, of the group of friends I know who live and breath Blackhawks hockey, you would definitely fall in the vast minority. A lot of the newbie fans who expect Campbell to score a goal every game and lay someone out expect more, but stats don't lie... Campbell is doing just fine. Brian Campbell is right in line with his point totals from last year. He's the exact same player he was last year. I look to a knowledgeable Hawk fan who said the following when we signed Campbell. QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 07:34 PM) Campbell will improve the PP a ton, no more Williams manning the blue line and also being a defensive liability when we lose the puck, which was pretty ridiculous to watch. His play in his own end is hopefully more consistent than what it has been. After all he's, well, a defenseman. It's good that he's a puck mover, but this defense isn't as tough as I'd like it to be, but it's better. You've gotta hope Barker has a good year (I think he'll continue upward, personally) and that Sopel stays healthy. A little on the small size, so hopefully that doesn't put us in the box more often when we have to play it down in the corners and behind the goal. Tallon got his #1 guy. Crazy. This pundit liked the signing, but understood that Campbell ain't exactly a defensive defenseman. What has changed from then and now? The Hawks have a little rough patch and people start booing a productive player? Puh-leeze! He wasn't signed to do that. Though he's not racking up PP points (though not far off from last year's numbers), our Power Play is better, and it's largely because of Brian Campbell. He's doing exactly what he was signed to do (see point totals). Just because he signed a big contract that won't make him a better player. As another knowledgable Hawks fan, I have no issue with Campbell. He's one of the top offensive D-Men in the game. The Hawks are going to start rolling here soon with Sharp back, and I'll be happy I didn't turn on a player for doing exactly what he was signed to do.

    QUOTE (Kid Gleason @ Mar 23, 2009 -> 06:35 PM) I don't know...a movie called "Funny People" and starring Adam Sandler sounds like false advertising. I'm planning a class action suit against Apatow all ready. I dunno, I think it looks pretty solid.
  11. To answer the question. Download bitcomet. Install bitcomet. Bitcommet is the best torrent downloader. Once installed, go download that torrent by clicking the link on the page on the torrent site. It will ask you to save and then launch in bitcomet, where you will have to designate a destination folder (desktop or create torrent folder on desktop). It will then download and save there. I do this all the time. It's a good idea to have virus protection, but you can read comments from users at sites such as www.isohunt.com or www.mininova.org/ Try this link through Demonoid. The song you crave... nerd. If you have any other questions, PM me.
  12. QUOTE (Cali @ Mar 23, 2009 -> 03:47 PM) Brian Anderson is hilarious. That should be the factor that makes him the starter in center...

    I think Year One looks hilarious. Harold Ramis is normally hit/miss though, so we'll see.

    QUOTE (Kid Gleason @ Mar 23, 2009 -> 12:13 PM) Wait, Finding Sarah Marshall was Apatow? O.K., so that means I skip I Love You Man even though it looked kind of funny, as I thought Finding Sarah Marshall sucked HUGE eggs and though Anchorman was just O.K. at best? That was produced by him... along with a bunch of others. The movies that Apatow actually directed are... 40 Year Old Virgin Knocked Up and the coming soon film "Funny People" which looks extremely promising.
  15. This will either be awesome or terrible.
  16. QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Mar 23, 2009 -> 02:37 AM) Are we sure this show is even coming back? I dont' see how it couldn't... that s*** was hilarious.

    "I Love You, Man" was disappointing... had I gone into it having not viewed a single trailer, then I quite possibly would have loved it. However, EVERY funny part is in the preview, and you spend most of the movie cringing from the awkwardness (seriously) rather than laughing at the funny scenes you've seen in the previews. I love the actors, but the movie is nothing more than a renter if you've seen the previews.
  18. Any team losing a 40 goal scorer will struggle. Him being back is awesome.
  19. That was a nice win yesterday. Patrick Sharp means so much to this team... hopefully he stays healthy and we can get hot, and of course some of the pressure can come off Toews and Kane.
