Even if there is more to the story that Kittle is indicating, it's inexcusable for an athlete of any race to say that they don't sign for fans of any race. Imagine the blow-up of a white superstar (say, Mike Piazza) were to say, "I don't sign for black people"? I don't care if Kittle was being an uber-prick and goaded Bonds to the point of being furious, to say anything even comparable to "I don't sign for white people" is bullshit.

While I'm not entirely sure, I think that people in that industry refer to it as "kiddie" porn rather than "child" porn.

I think it would have been funnier if you didn't specify which crash you were referring to, but just left it as the vague "NASCAR driver takes right by mistake" type of joke. /just my $0.02

So, when the 49ers were classy, the Patriots were exposing their junk to a woman reporter and their owner was making harrassing comments. Now, the Pats are the 'model' franchise and the 9ers are the joke.

I so agree with old people as a response ... I was at the pharmacy not too long ago and I was in line to pay for my stuff. There were a few of us waiting, so we all stood a little ways back, so as to not crowd the person that was already paying. Some old woman came and stood right behind the person, as if she was going to be first in line, and not have to wait like the rest of us. I tried to politely give her the heads up, but she just kept on ignoring me, and then turned around and kind of snapped at me in some elderly gibberish. The woman behind me in line (who was not young but nowhere near as old as the geriatric) finally barked, "there's a line, lady, and you're waiting in it!". I've never wanted to pay for a strangers purchases more than that woman that yelled at the old bag. /tangent over

Kapler's miserable, isn't playing well and is stuck on the bench ... he's already said that he hopes to be back in the US for next season.

I remember him. A good one to bring up for this topic. He was supposed to be awesome, but never developed at all. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wasn't Mamula on 'roids? I know that he was drafter uber-high because of his amazing combine, but I thought that it was generally believed that he was on the juice, which is why he was all of a sudden able to jump higher & further, run faster, lift more weight, etc.

The nudity has been edited out, but the language is still there ... the NSFW-level is questionable.

The closest I have to fitting this description was the year the Marlins beat the Indians in the World Series ... me and a bunch of friends - all of whom dislike baseball to various levels - went to BW3s to play trivia and get drunk. We all met up at my place, got high and waited til the game was almost over before walking over to the bar ... only to find that the game wasn't over yet, and we had to sit there while they had the game on EVERY TV. We popped so loud when the game finally ended that people thought that we were Marlins fans, and sent over shots to drink with them. So, my favorite moment was getting free shots just by thinking that people thought I was rooting for Florida.

Rrrsh, I know that you're being at least partially sarcastic ... but that's a bit harsh with the American bashing. There are quite a few of us here that are Hockey Krishnas and think that NASCAR is a fucking joke. And the "I can't see the puck" excuse is a farce, I've been preaching the hockey love for YEARS and have yet to find someone that actually says that they can't see the puck.

Wait, ESPN isn't going to be playing the 15 games that they play each year, made up almost entirely of NY, Philly, Detroit & Colorado? And they won't be playing NHL 2Night at like 3 in the morning? And they won't be showing their normal 90 seconds of highlights, 45 minutes into Sportscenter? Good riddance to ESPN's minimal involvement in the show. I can't stress enough how good of a pick-up this is for even a partial NHL fan. You can watch pretty much EVERY game, excluding the ones that are blocked out for whatever reason.

I'm not sure if you meant it to sound that way or not, but that's an amazingly pompous sentence. Forgive us if we don't post, long & tedious deep insights into the show the way you do. And count me as someone that's pissed to hear that Sam Jackson is going to join LOST. One of the things that I most like about the show is the fact that it was made up of relative unknowns. Even the two biggest names (Fox & Monaghan) were on shows/movies that I never watched, so they were pretty much unknowns to me. Two have a "celebrity" on the show kind of detracts from it, in my opinion.

When you let another car cut in front of you and they don't bother to wave a thanks. I'm not looking for them to trip over their dicks to thank me or name their next kid after me ... just a fucking wave to thank me. And, here in Mass, it's the state law that drivers have to stop for pedestrians. And I hate it when cars refuse to stop. I have a tendency to scream "State Fucking Law" at them when they don't stop, which just thrilled the girlfriend to no end. New rule: I can't scream at cars when with Nicole.

I have told a story or 2 about message boarding, but normally it's because someone will post something that I reference in another story (a movie to see, or a TV show spoiler, or sports news or something like that) ... and I always preface it with a self-depreciating comment mocking myself for posting on a message board.

Hey, Yankees fan, there's a lot of teams with shorter WS droughts than your team has. (well, maybe not a lot ... but 3 or 4)

I'm sure people thought that Jim Brown or Barry Sanders would play football forever. Or that Bjorn Borg would play tennis forever. Or that Brock Lesnar would wrestle forever. I think that an athlete is one bad experience away from retirement ... something like the Kobe-scandal or a big fight with a teammate/coach/ownership or just something that makes them say, "fuck it, I have more than enough money in the bank, I'm done with this bullshit." Having said that, though, I wouldn't be surprised to see ARod play for a long ass time and join the upper echelon of career home runs ... 755? Maybe, maybe not. But 600+, yeah, most likely. But a lot of people don't ... baseball will need to pick a side of the argument and stick with it. And whichever one they choose will piss half the people off.

I was a Sid mark when he was a Skyscraper, and a Horsemen, and probably for the beginning of his run in the WWF. But as soon as the whole Hogan thing happened, he lost me as a fan and I never really backed him the same afterwards. But WHY I liked him, I couldn't tell you. My choice: Rikishi. I could not understand what it was about him, or 2Cool for that matter, that made people cheer them.

Because it would be hard as hell knowing that every guy that becomes a standout, and appears to have "future star" written all over him, is going to leave sooner, rather than later. It's like small market sports teams ... as soon as their good player becomes a great one, they know that he's leaving, and it takes away from the joys of watching them get great.

How did Fonzie's relationship with Vince & Co. end up? Any chance on him being there?

Walt being taken wouldn't be enough to keep people on the edge of their seats for the summer, waiting for the show to premiere next season. Neither would more backstories, or how the Black Rock got where it is, or anything else that's still outstanding. IMHO, "what the fuck is with the hatch?" is the one million-dollar question that they have. And to blow that on the season finale would be counter-productive. They could have given us more answers from some of the smaller questions (what made Kate's mom hate her so much? why was Locke in a wheelchair? the significance of the numbers, etc.) but the hatch is the one thing that they have to keep us "holy shit"-ting over for the next 3-6 months. People that want all the answers (e.g. most of the fark board posters) are the kind of people that read spoilers or only care about the destination and not the journey. Give me a good journey 7 days a week.

I've hooked up with uglier girls ... and they were poorer, on top of it. /has lived a sad life

What, they just stop fighting and climb in the same ring? Not necessarily just stop, but an announcement would go out (comparable to them announcing how "Wargames" has become "The Match Beyond" during the first Wargames on PPV) ... at that point, it would be known that the wrestlers needed to eliminate people from both rings to win. I dunno, man, it was just an idea. It'd obviously need some tweaking.

Instead of doing a Raw vs. Smackdown Survivor Series, how about modifying the WW3 approach that wcw did for their battle royal for the Rumble? Two battle royals in two separate rings, going on at the same time (with just like 20 men in each) and when it gets down to the final 20, it then becomes one BR in one ring. /probably a crappy idea
