What are yours? I remember on the Thursday before the Super Bowl two years ago (so kinda two years ago today), I was looking forward to the huge Bears party my company was having the following day. Thoughts of the economy and tons of job losses weren't that big a deal, to be honest. I had just gotten married, and was house hunting as well. Wow, what a crazy two years it's been since then... I'm already off track. Anyway, everyone at work was nuts about the Bears, Rex Grossman still had a chance to shine, no Manning son had won a Super Bowl. What are some of your memories leading up to Bears/Colts?!

The Knicks making the playoffs is not a good thing for them.

You can't just throw a dart at the wall and say "that's when he started". If you let him in, you have to consider all those implicated as well, which would include Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 08:54 AM) If you sign someone like Hossa as well, you might as well just give up on a player such as Jack Skille. Keep developing the youth. Eh, sure, if you want to give up on a Stanley Cup. A core is great, but its adding to the core that's going to get this team past the Wings. Now, I wouldn't recommend signing Hossa at the expense of extending our young studs, but we'll have the Bulin contract off the books, and I'm sure somethign could be worked out.

Hell Heath should get the Oscar just for that type of acting. I watched Dark Knight in IMAX and had to deal with a 30 foot version of her sad clown face. You could of picked up random actresses that would of been better. I personally think Maggie Gyllenhall is beautiful.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 28, 2009 -> 03:18 PM) I honestly really don't like Ed. He may play the cool guy in the series, but he just comes off as a total douche to me. Ha, I find him to be hilarious. He's supposed to be a douche, but that's what is funny.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 28, 2009 -> 02:50 PM) I feel like his name has come up in trade rumors quite a few times but the Knicks are hesitant to do anything that would involve them taking on any dollars past the end of 2010. Why is that?

Gotta do the taco dip, the wings, and the beef sandwiches. Heading to a big party.

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Jan 28, 2009 -> 01:01 PM) I've also liked the episodes so far this season, though I strongly disliked Courtney Cox's character (other than her making fun of the last name "Cox" in an episode). As for the bolded, I've read that ABC was discussing exactly that, and given the development of the characters of the current set of interns, it looks like they are definitely setting it up for a spin off if ratings are good this season. I must say, I'd watch that spinoff. The new characters actually don't suck.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 28, 2009 -> 02:18 PM) Kaman, O'Neal, Brand, and Lee can all probably be had, but our GM is much of a f***ing idiot to realize that. Oh, I'm sure he realizes it, but that would involve him giving up parts of his messed up core. Hinrich Gordon Deng Nocioni Tyrus Noah Thabo None of them have still yet to be traded. Isn't that unbelievable?

I swear I didn't write that article, but I could have. Might as well make a bit of fun of it though. Wow, REALLY!? We should trade our big contracts for young talent and cap space? What a wild and crazy idea!

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 28, 2009 -> 12:43 PM) I must have missed it, and If it was the end of last season, I understand it, but I just haven't seen any references to it so far this season. Figured I'd use the spoiler tag in case anyone reads it and hasn't seen it. I believe it was addressed in the 3rd and 4th episodes this year. They talked about it and everything. Last night's episodes were great. "My ABC's" (Sesame Street one) was really really good. Honestly, these first 6 this year have been some of the strongest of the series. It really seems like they are setting this up for some sort of spinoff in case Zach Braff indeed does leave the show.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 28, 2009 -> 10:54 AM) I just dont understand why they cannot make a movie about a persian prince and use a man who looks like he COULD BE PERSIAN. Jake Gyllenhal? WTF? AWFUL

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 26, 2009 -> 05:57 PM) It's like when New Orleans "needed" a winner more than us in '06 because of Katrina. If somebody crashes a plane into the Sears Tower does that mean Chicago "needs" a winner more than everybody else? Hell no! And the 2001 World Series was BY FAR the best of this decade. Cough, 2005, cough.

I would have loved for the Sox to sign Garland to that deal. However, this was really smart for him... he'll be great in the NL. Webb Haren Garland There's some mad sinkerballs in there and a lot of innings eaten up. This was an EXTREMELY great signing for the D-Backs.

This needs to stop now. All I can think of is the "radioactive Earth" in Asimov's Pebble in the Sky.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 28, 2009 -> 11:07 AM) Oh, and I can attest to that advice, it works. Oh of course it does. Let's you give your lady more juice later on that evening.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 28, 2009 -> 10:58 AM) You don't jerk off immediately before having sex with a woman, do you? (lol. Yeah crude I know but only analogy I can think of at the moment.) However, sometimes it's necessary to get the easy one out of the way so the big dance goes all the better... Haven't you ever seen "There's Something About Mary"??

Come June 17th, there will still be the majority of these people who haven't done a thing about it. Wasn't the original date in 2005 or 2006 for going digital? Obviously that wasn't going to happen, but it just shows how this whole project has been screwed up.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 28, 2009 -> 10:57 AM) They had better not screw this up, that would be the worse possible thing. Agreed.
