I got to see Little Fockers for free, for the love of god, do not see that movie.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 12:07 AM) Best part is Bears fans still not giving credit to Lubbie. They don't deserve him. The fact that this Bears team made the playoffs with that offensive line is incredible.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 10:36 PM) Your 2010 NFC North champion Chicago Bears! Way too much time left

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 09:15 PM) Cutler doing Cutler things. I like it. That was a great throw and just awful play from Minny.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 09:04 PM) By having a WR drop a catchable pass? And having Webb play his usual awful football and miss blocks?

Ugh...

How do you give Jackson a chance to return that? Kick that out of bounds, even if it only goes like 20 yards.

Michael Vick is kind of good at football

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 18, 2010 -> 08:42 PM) How has Tisdale not added one pound of muscle in 4 years of college? He has added over 50 pounds. He was freakishly thin as a freshman and while he still isn't strong his rebounding has actually improved dramatically. No idea why he is fading away so much on shots, he is fading away more this year then he did when he was 30 pounds lighter.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 11:54 PM) Meanwhile the Cavs just lost their 10th straight game and they've looked pretty bad in doing so. They've lost by an average of 17.5 PPG during the streak. Therefore really making LeBron look good in choosing to leave. It's amazing that team was able to accomplish what they did with that cast. I think Dan Gilbert needs to retract his little "I guarantee the fans of Cleveland will win a title before the Heat do" declaration. That franchise is so done. LeBron was probably worth 40 wins to that Cavs team which is insane and shows you just how good LeBron James is. There isn't another player in basketball who could have gotten those Cavs teams close to 66 or 61 wins.

QUOTE (hitlesswonder @ Dec 18, 2010 -> 04:51 PM) That was an awesome game. Beautiful that UIC, which hired Jimmy Collins after UIUC knifed him in the back, gets the win. Lol, they hired Lon Kruger who is a dramatically better basketball coach and still the best coach (not program manager, recruiter, but coach) to have ever been at UI. That isn't getting stabbed in the back. As for this team, it looked like they were past these types of performances but I should have known that the Tis and Davis s*** show could come about at any time. I would cut both of their playing time dramatically and tell them they can see the floor more when they start playing like they have some balls.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 18, 2010 -> 04:04 PM) Things aren't looking good for UIUC right now. Our interior p**** duo were beyond pathetic today. I despise Mike Davis. I have never hated a player who wasn't a tool off the court more than I hate Mike Davis. 1 rebound today. 1 mother f***ing rebound. Go back to Virginia. And Tisdale has been playing a giant vagina lately. Fading away on everything, stupid fouls, just pathetic play. In the past he was just too weak but at least he battled. Now it looks like he has just given up.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 03:53 PM) I thoroughly enjoyed Book of Eli too. Kept me entertained the whole time and at the end of the day that is all I can ask for from a movie. The ending ruined the movie for me. Awful, just awful. But up until that point it was solid.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 05:38 PM) This Bulls team? The team that is almost all new players? Other then Boozer the key guys are the same especially from a defensive perspective. Boozer is a very good player but he is truly awful defensively and Brewer and Bogans sure as hell aren't going to slow LeBron down.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 03:57 PM) Disagree. The Bulls match up very well against the heat. They wont be able to defend Boozer and Rose whatsoever. Noah cancels out Bosh completely. I think the Bulls have a VERY good shot in the east. How do you figure that Noah cancels out Bosh completely? Is it the fact that he put up 26.5 and 11.5 against the Bulls last year? Or 24 and 11 the year before that? And Miami might not be able to defend Rose or Boozer but the Bulls sure as hell can't defend Lebron or Wade. Lebron with a much worse supporting cast destroyed this Bulls team last year. Destroyed might not even be a strong enough word. And adding Boozer's awful help D sure as hell isn't going to help stop Lebron from driving. Brewer is average defensively, Korver awful, Bogans average. None of those guys is going to be able to do a damn thing to stop Wade or Lebron. And if you put Noah on Bosh then the paint is wide open for those guys and your defense gets shredded.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 02:54 PM) Miller, Jones, Anthony and Dampier is easily enough off the bench to succeed. Whether they play good enough interior defense as a team is a far bigger issue in determining their fate. I agree that their interior defense is a question but they are currently 2nd in the NBA in defense so even that issue may be a little overblown.

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 02:26 PM) I noticed I didn't specify clearly, what I meant was quality of depth. The majority of those teams had pretty good players coming off of their bench that could fill a void left by one of their starters if any had to come out of the game for whatever reason. The Heat for the most part, have nothing close to that with the Juwan Howard's, Eddie House's and Joel Anthony's coming off of the bench. Now, it will change positively with Miller returning but I don't see how 3 players of that caliber can survive with Mike Miller and literally a bunch of fill-ins James Jones is making 46% of his threes on the year, he keeps that up and he is plenty good enough off the bench. Ilgauskas has actually played decently as the starting center so if they get Haslem back that is a decent big to bring off the bench. The Bulls in 95-96 had one great bench player in Kukoc and then a spot up shooter in Kerr. No one else played double figure minutes in the post season. Their big men off the bench was Bill Wennington and he played less than 10 mpg off the bench in the postseason playing behind a very mediocre center in Luc Longley. The Bulls won because they had 3 truly great players and an excellent 4th in Kukoc. You could basically put any random center and any random 3 pt specialist on that team and as long as you have Jordan, Pippen, Rodman and Kukoc those teams win the title.

In the season premiere this year Ted told his kids that he met the mother at a wedding so it can't be Zooey.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 14, 2010 -> 09:37 PM) Oakland has been giving teams trouble. Illinois and MSU had to play them tough, they must have something. Oakland is a solid team but they actually played Purdue tougher than Illinois. Illinois outscored them by 20 with a mens ball and that game was never in doubt for most of the 2nd half.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 14, 2010 -> 12:29 PM) I thought #3 was just awful. I didn't like #3 either but they are getting rid of Will and Elizabeth who were the worst major characters in the series and hopefully they just make the storyline less unnecessarily convoluted this time.

Time to get the starters out of there. No need to get a key guy hurt in this one.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Dec 12, 2010 -> 06:29 PM) When the Patriots go for it on 4th down in a blowout, this is why people cheered when Brady's knee got blown out (not that we don't deserve the shame b/c we suck to day, but still) It is the 3rd quarter of an NFL game, get some balls. Also, what exactly would you want them to do from the 28 in these conditions? Punt? Kick a FG that has no chance of going in?

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 11, 2010 -> 03:44 PM) Yeah, but they're literally too deep in the backcourt. Next year: Abrams, Langford, Paul, Richardson, Head, Bertrand, and Henry/Richmond at the guard spots. Good look cracking that rotation. Bertrand is probably the odd man out but he also seems like the type of kid who just really likes Illinois and might stick it out to see if he can crack the rotation as an upperclassmen. I've always thought he was a boom or bust recruit, great athlete, good slasher, good passer, shot needs work but that is the case with a lot of guys but there just always seemed to be something missing.

LOL, fitting end to the half.

QUOTE (Felix @ Dec 11, 2010 -> 01:03 AM) I've predicted that since the first episode. I really hope it isn't the case.. it's way too obvious of a twist. Don't read the below if you don't want substantial potential spoilers.
