QUOTE (juddling @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 09:57 AM) I think Ben sent the lawyers to Kate. She seemed to be the best adjusted to life again so he needed to shake her up so she'd be more willing to go back. Were my eyes decieving me or was that Jack's dad (or at least the actor) that showed up at Kate's door???? That's got to mean something. Your eyes were very much deceiving you. It wasn't even close.

QUOTE (BobDylan @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 09:58 AM) Did Hurley add another 100 pounds or is it just me? Yeah, I thought he looked his fattest yet last night.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 09:55 AM) "Bad" is relative. Until we really understand their true motivations we might find out neither are really "bad". Well, I think without a doubt Widmore is bad... I like to believe Ben, on a "screw everyone else it must get done" level, has good intentions.

Russ, You really have to wait until charges are posted to your account. I love my online banking and the instant results, but they won't always be accurate. As long as something says "pending" you might as well wait it out (unless you know it's wrong). The pending charges hang for awhile and when they get processed can be different (with restaurant purchases). Say you order a pizza and wings online. The moment you submit the order the charge (let's say $19.00) will show up as pending on your account. Then the pizza place calls and says their fryer is down, so they can't do wings, they redo the total, cancel the original $19.00 order and put in the $13 order or whatever. Your bank account for a few days will show. Pending 01/19/09: Steve's Awesome Pizza Joint: $13.00 Pending 01/19/09: Steve's Awesome Pizza Joint: $19.00 However, after a couple of days, the total charge (including tip if you're not a jackass!) will show up for the lower charge. And the original will be gone completely. 01/19/09: Steve's Awesome Pizza Joint: $14.50 With restaurants, it's best to wait until after a charge has cleared before worrying. Always be on top of your online account though.

Happy Birthday!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 08:25 AM) So question of the day, in the end, who is the bad guy, Widmore or Linus? Both are bad, but Widmore a little more so.

At least it's proven that we won't get too many answers anytime soon. I don't know if I like the fact that they are now putting "THREE YEARS AGO" up or not. Half the fun was trying to figure out if we were in flash forwards flash backs or flash f***s. Who the hell knew? Anyway, it was kind of weak last night... it's just getting too big at this point. I have a feeling Ben or Jack ratted out Kate so she'd be more willing to join them in heading back to the island.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 09:36 AM) are we clones? Handsome clones.

The kids have definitely hit the wall. I'm not saying they won't burst through it, I think they will, but help is still needed on the offensive front. I think we need to put this on DT to get a legit goal scorer in here. A guy I really think would look good would be Keith Tkachuk, who flies around the ice like no other STILL. Another aged option would include be Bill Guerin. OR, you sell a nice crop of farm talent and a pick and go after Kovalchuk, IF you can figure out how to keep him, Kane, and Toews together for eternity.

The Knicks don't have Derrick Rose. Thusly, they are not in a better position. When your best young player is Wilson Chandler or David "No D" Lee, I just can't buy into what you're selling.

Here's some extremely old s***ty ones.

I honestly think, and this is all me, I’ve seen nothing to prove it, that the Bulls would be NUTS to not make an offer for Elton Brand. Gooden, Noah, Nocioni and a pick. The 76ers have proven they play better without him (8 game winning streak of recent until they lost the other night), and Brand has proven he’s not even close to 100%. However, you let Brand rest most of the rest of the season (limited minutes, keep him in game shape though) and put him on a workout regimen to improve the strength in his legs and shoulders. Next year, you have a very solid base where Deng can begin doing what he does best: slashing, and Rose can set them both up. Having Gordon around would be bonus, but he’s likely gone.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 10:34 AM) I'm actually expecting a huge year from Konerko assuming he can stay healthy. As long as a huge year from Pauly is .275, 30, 100, I think you'll be happy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 09:02 AM) She was probably the guest star worst bit character they have had on there. I couldn't stand her character. Ugh. Easily the worst guest star they had on there was Colin Ferrill. I still wish they'd done more with Jason Bateman when he was on...

Another league source has confirmed that the Bulls and Nets are discussing a trade that would send Larry Hughes to New Jersey in exchange for Bobby Simmons and Maurice Ager. It's up to the Nets to sign off on the deal, which amounts to the swapping of bad contracts. Hughes is owed $12.8 million this season and $13.7 million next season -- Simmons' is owed $9.9 million this season and $10.6 million next season. One bad contract deserves another.

My vote is for Mac N Holmes to take over the airwaves from 10 til 2. Murph goes to hell where his lame sound effects belong.

Did anyone get a screen shot of Southpaw?

I'd rather none of them play.

QUOTE (Steff @ Jan 20, 2009 -> 11:51 AM) Also, hope you don't mind but I am putting that pic on my facebook page. TIA. It's already on mine, lol... but feel free. I think it's perfect.

Well, it's time for some change I can believe in... hopefully.

QUOTE (Steff @ Jan 20, 2009 -> 11:48 AM) He'll be in the parade. I hope they show him on TV. That would be amazing.

I thought you guys might appreciate this pic I threw together...
