QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 09:44 AM) Ok...so let me ask you this in reply... Let's say you're a police detective. You head out one morning to a rather grisly crime scene. Murder. Someone shot several times. You find the gun lying on the ground. The gun is owned by a guy, let's call him Fred. You check into Fred, and find that he lives 50 miles away, but the night of the crime Fred filled up his car at a gas station 2 miles from the crime scene. You take fingerprints off the gun, and Fred's are the only one on it. Let's also assume Fred knows the victim somehow, and that his alibi was being at home alone after driving back from some mall (which is why he was at the gas station). No one saw Fred do the shooting, nor is there video or DNA which would prove 100% that he was the killer. Fred proclaims his innocence. Do you believe Fred? Simple question here...without a direct, 100% witness, or incontrovertible proof...are you willing to convict a person based entirely on circumstantial evidence? I don't have Bonds having taken a positive test. But I do have a metric ton of circumstantial evidence. I would vote to convict Fred if I were on that jury and I was presented with that case. That's about how I view the Bonds case. I didn't stick the needle in his ass myself, and i haven't seen a positive test, but given all the other evidence in the case, I'd vote to convict. Someone could have easily had it out for Fred, got a hold of his gun with some latex gloves on and shot this person in an attempt to put Fred away.. If there was no DNA or any physical proof I dont think you can sentance someone to life in prison for something you dont even know if he did. If Fred proclaims innocent then he is innocent until proven guilty. Also, yeah Bonds is an ass but he has the right to be that way. What if you had worked hard all your life to accomplish what he has and have everyone hate you because they THINK youve taken steroids? Everyone treats him like s***, ide be an asshole too if it was like that..

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 08:57 PM) Difficult for Orton to drop when he's been suspended for "unprofessional conduct" for up to 60 days. And I agree with your assessment about Mysterio getting the strap. It is a f***ing travesty that RVD hasn't gotten a shot. /shakes fist about Vince's love of hosses. Perhaps the "Cena Sucks" and "Die Cena Die" chants on Raw might make WWE a bit more apt to take the title off him and not give it to Mr. 20 Minute Promo (not a knock against HHH's ability in the ring...just the fact that goddamn man, cut a promo in under 15 minutes) Yeah I just read that on Wrestlezone SUCKS because Orton is the man

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 08:43 AM) All I can say is that I hope Rey Mysterio loses the belt as soon as possible. The whole thing concerning him has felt dirty since everyone and their brother knows that he's only getting this chance because Eddie Guerrero died. It was nice to see Mysterio win the Rumble, and I honestly enjoyed it a lot (mainly because he eliminated HHH and Orton). But, this has been enough. Mysterio isn't someone who should be carrying the title. I only hope they have him lose it soon. Mysterio is dropping the belt to Randy Orton friday night on Smackdown.. Also.. Addy what your dad heard could possibly be true except for I dont believe they go through the matches and rehearse.. I think it would be kind of hard for Edge and Mick Foley to practice going through flaming tables till they get it right.. A lot of things are prolly talked about in advance but I dont think they would risk injury just practicing before the actual event.. My aunt works for a cable company in Chicago and she got to meat Johnny Nitro and Joey Mercury and got to hold one of the tag titles.. Im one of the biggest wrestling fans there is btw, but I agree it has gone downhill since its prime.. I miss Razor Ramon

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 08:07 PM) Put them anywhere. They once again have a solid core that a place like Portland, San Antonio,Vegas, ect. True, but I wouldnt wanna go to Portland.. The Blazers might move as it is.. Portland just doesnt seem like a good place for a professional team San Antonio or Vegas, I think those would be the two best situations for them

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 08:01 PM) Its really a shame for the entire franchise. The players. The city. The fans. They cant get anyone out to the ballpark, the die hards have to suffer through years like this, yet they seem to know how to make a small $$ team into a great one within 4-5 years. If they stay the course with the kids they have now, while adding some vets, they could be great in 4, 5 years. Its too bad a team like Cinny or KC cant be run like this. The Marlins are a very solid franchise in my book. Its a shame Miami cant support them. Miami has terrible fan support for all sports but, if they move to San Antonio.. I think they would thrive

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 07:51 PM) They have very little proven major league talent, so I doubt they're going to be very good this year or next. They're depending on youngsters like Hermida, Willingham, Jacobs, Ramirez, and Mitre to play fairly big roles, and few of those guys are really ready. However, they have some pretty good young players that might make them a threat in a few years. They seem to be hot right now, so they might rack up some wins before they fall off the face of the earth, like a more talented version of the Royals a few years back. Thing is unlike the Royals their young talent is actually talented.. They have some good prospects playing now, plus better ones in the wings.. They wont be good this year, but they will surprise some people and eventually here they will build something nice, wherever they will be.. Also, they should have beaten Houston yesterday too.. I watched the game and Houston did not deserve to win that game at all

QUOTE(Reddy @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 07:42 PM) out of pure curiosity what do you think about sammy and mark mcgwire? I dont know about Sammy, but Mcguire couldnt even say that he hadnt taken them.. he refused to talk about it all together, so its going to raise question marks.. If your gonna be man enough to step up and say that you have never taken steroids then I am not gonna hold it against them.. however if a failed test show up, youve not only just ruined your career, but you have lost a tremdous amount of respect.. Its a serious issue, thats why I refuse to believe that Bonds has taken steroids until its 100% proof He is putting so much on the line for what? To protect his career? If he lied to the jury he could go to jail, lose everything.. Hed be away from his family for who knows how long.. I just think there is way too big of a risk involved with just flat out lying about it to protect your career

I am willing to give myself up to benfit the fight against cancer if thats what it will take..

Oh wow..... Your score is 54 If you saw me in person there would be no way to know that I spend about 8-9 hours a day sitting at my computer.. That I play video games like they were goin out of style.. That I like Starwars and Lord of the Rings.. I am one of the biggest geeks at heart that you could know, but you wouldnt be able to tell by looking at me..

QUOTE(Reddy @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 07:31 PM) to add that much bulk when you're in your upper 30s just through doing the same things as EVERYONE ELSE and to be in better shape at 41 than when you were 21 is not naturally possible... but see heres my point - there IS proof in Game of Shadows. thats why its such a huge f***ing deal. ok, and if you dont want to call it proof, it's the next closest thing to bonds just saying he took steroids. if you want to make informed opinions you should have all the information about a subject... I do have all the information, there is no failed test, and there is no PROOF that Bonds has taken steroids or he would have been suspended or banned from the league. There is a reason neither of those things have happened, they cant proove anything.. Like I said, if it comes out to be true and Bonds is PROVEN to have taken steroids I will gladly eat crow and you can flame me all you want.. The only person who knows 100% about it is Barry Bonds.. but I guess admitting to taking steroids is far worse than lying to a grand jury, losing everything, and going to Prison.. EDIT: Also, there are plenty of people that are in better shape now then they were in their early 20's.. You cant just assume that everyone is doing the same thing, people do work harder than other people..

QUOTE(Reddy @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 07:17 PM) dude have you read that excerpt from Game of Shadows in SI? if not you should. he's a horrible person who needed to "be the best" whatever means necessary. He pumped himself up so full of HGH and all those others that he'll probably go the same route as Caminiti. He also had a way to avoid having his tests come out positive... again... in SI... Look at the numbers, look at his head, look at his body, it's OBVIOUS. i dont know what there is to even like about the guy at all... even if he didnt cheat i'd still not want him to break the records, he's a f***in jag. Like I said, thats your own opinion.. If he fails a test, I will be the first one on here eating crow about it.. Feel free to blast me all you want, thats fine, but I dont agree with everyone elses opinion.. I dont need to read excerpts about people who write for a news paper claiming Bonds has taken steroids. There is no failed test, there is no proof aside from saying "Well he hits a lot of home runs and is big, hes on steroids" Thats all it ever is anymore.. Someone doesnt do good, they must be off steroids.. Someone does good, they must be on steroids.. Did it ever occur to anyone that 20+ years of personal training, growing, weight lifting, supplements.. The guys job is to take care of his body year round, has been for decades.. Its not as impossible as you make it seem

QUOTE(Reddy @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 07:09 PM) why were you banned again??? jesus... thats like asking for a flame war dude... Why because people THINK that he has taken steroids? I should be banned for liking someone and not agreeing with other people? Makes sense.. Where is the failed test? There is none, and you know they have tested his ass on more than one occasion..

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 06:59 PM) Wow, uh, yea, sure. If being an arrogant, insecure, cheating, snide asshole punk is being the man, then yeah, he's the man. Thats just your opinion on him. I fail to see where he has "cheated". There is no proof. Most of you are just pissed that hes the greatest player to ever play the game and use that as a scapegoat to make yourself feel better about it.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 06:53 PM) I watched the first 30 minutes, had to turn it off after that. I just couldn't take another second of him. He is absolutely intolerable. Disagree, Bonds is the man

QUOTE(SnB @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 04:27 PM) career mode is where this game is at. I simmed 30 years once, started at W. Illinois and finished at IU, a 3 time champion. My only beef in the game is the RIDICULOUS upsets I worked my way up to Duke, ide get to the dance as a #1 seed and lose usually in the first or second round almost every year I simmed till the career mode was over, I had like over 800 wins and I had ONE National Title.. This was with like 16 years at Duke pullin in top recruits every year. I would get ousted in the first or second round the majority of the tournaments

Mike Tyson no question

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 01:22 PM) It was a mistake the White Sox made. A big mistake. The same reason guys like Bobby Jenks got released by the Angels or how Johan Santana got away from the Astros. True, I can understand on Bobby Jenks but I doubt at the time anyone knew Santana was going to become what he has today.. How did they let this happen? Just werent payin attention or are what?
