Yanks are only going to allow this bullshit during batting practice, and only during one game. Source article right hmya.

Tied for division lead, about to take sole possesion. Its a celebration, bitches.

It wouldn't be a record, per se, but it sure as hell would be a feat... and I want to see it done just to see it done. Same reason people climb Mt. Everest, I guess.

I think they should just give Bonds a tee to hit off of.

Loudest, most violent metal songs out there...

I almost spit Dr. Pepper all over my computer screen when I saw this... ALL you did in refuting Redhawk's claims of athleticism was use assumptions. No shit? Armstrong is faster on a bike than Vick is on his feet? I could be faster on a bike than Vick is on his feet. If the two are having a foot race I'm fairly certain that Vick would blow Armstrong away... seeing as how Vick is one of the fastest people in the NFL and Lance Armstrong has never done anything to show me that hes fast on his feet. Strength? Armstrong has exceptionally strong legs, yes, but strength is not limited to one muscle. For football we have this thing called The Big Three - its Bench, Squat and Clean and its a pretty fair representation of someone's strength (strength being fast-twitch muscle use, endurance being slow-twitch.) The only one of these lifts that Armstrong could hang with Vick on is the squat, and even that one is questionable. As far as flexibility and agility are concerned... Armstrong in a walk? Bullshit. Maybe Armstrong is more flexible than Vick... I honestly don't know the level of flexibility required for competitive bicycle riding - I DO know the level required for football and its much higher than most people think. I'm a 350 pound defensive tackle and some of the stretches I was required to do were incredibly difficult (even for the smaller guys) and would make the average person faint. Agility? Vick takes the walk on this one. Weaving a bike through a pile of twisted metal on some French road? Hard. Weaving through 11 WORLD CLASS athletes who are doing everything they can to chase you down and cause you massive physical harm? Much harder. And since you were wondering, throwing power and accuracy have been considered "athletic talent" since people started tossing around the discus, javeline and shotput... to the best of my recollection that was BEFORE bicycles were invented. Stamina belongs to Armstrong, and this one isn't even close, I'll give you that one any day of the week. I'm so tired of athletic elitists. They're no better than people who stand around in record stores wearing a vintage t-shirt, talking about how "Well I'VE been listening to Radiohead since before they even learned how to play instruments... they were so much better back then." Michael Vick is an incredible athlete. The man can throw a 60 yard pass from his knees, sprint 120 feet in around 4.3 seconds, throw a perfect spiral... in a dead run... across his body... being chased by people nearly twice his size... and have it land RIGHT in his reciever's hands - 30 yards down the field. If thats not athletic talent, please... tell me what is. I'm not taking anything away from Lance Armstrong, hes amazing. Hes dominated his sport like only one other man in history has done and hes done it after coming back from a life threatening disease. If the question was "Who dominates their sport better?" it would be Lance Armstrong without a second thought. For the question at hand, however, I believe Vick has a slight edge.

That may be impossible ,in fact, I think it is humanly impossible to run a sub two minute mile, considering the World Record for the 800m which is the half mile is 1:41.11 by Wilson Kipketer of Kenya(1997). For a two minute mile one would have to run 30.00 flat for four laps. A 30 second quarter mile is only about 13 seconds faster than the 400m world record of 43.18 held by Michael Johnson. and btw.... The USA will win a World Cup before 2018. Once again, I'm an idiot. 2:00:00 marathon. Tons of people have done 2:00:00 miles.

...and will probably be signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates soon thereafter... ...Only to be swiftly traded when that player posts a .350 batting average over a 25 game span..

Haha, whoops. Although theres another sports feat I'd like to see - 28 strike-outs.

Jimmy built the defense, bringing in guys like Zach Thomas, Sam Madison, etc., while also working to build a running game - 2 of the biggest weaknesses of the team during the Marino-era. He basically laid the foundation for the current team, so I can't see how you'd be disappointed with bringing him in. You're totally right... it was just a personal Cowboy bitterness thing left over from the early 90s.

I'm not saying hes been the worst coach our franchise has ever had... but when PJ Carlisimo was coaching the Blazers... I hated him. Also - as a man who switched his aliegance from the Buffalo Bills to the Miami Dolphins in the mid-90's, I wasn't happy about Jimmy Johnson's Cowboy Ass coming to coach my team.

I think Boomer *IS* Berman... unless they have Boomer Esiason... which would be the suck.

Well I like walking more than sprinting, but I don't think walking is harder... God I hate sprinting.

This guy is fucking clownshoes. Opposed to the war in Iraq? Fine. Opposed to our actions in Afghanistan? Go for it! Opposed to the LIVES of the HUMANS in our military... I can't fucking believe it. All I can say is this, he should thank his lucky fucking stars that hes in a country founded on personal freedoms, because I'm a liberal man, and even I want him the fuck out.

You obviously don't know a lot about boxing. Anyone can get hit in the face and throw a few punches back... but fighting and boxing are two very different things. I am by no means an expert, but I DO know enough to know that boxing requires a highly developed set of skills and techniques. The fact that MMA requires highly-skilled techniques for many more aspects of fighting makes it that much harder, not to mention the fact that Mixed martial artist to be completely skilled in all aspects is impossible, and that there are so many different approaches and styles, etc. etc. But never mind all that, boxing is the most difficult sport. What the fuck ever. Boxing has a depleted talent pool these days, at least compared with boxing's past. Athletes are going towards football, basketball etc... I would assume that they're doing this because there're more opportunities to be involved, it pays better and you're not going to come out of your career with serious brain damage (Certain football players aside.) However, you cannot make these same considerations for MMA. You mean to tell me that the various MMA fighters with striking skills are forsaking $10 million contracts to go tough it out in the Pride and UFC ranks? You would insinuate that Bas Rutten(sp) or Tito Ortiz would rather do more work for less money for some unspoken reason? The reason that UFC people are in UFC and prize fighters are duking it out for gigantic purses is because UFC fighters can't stand in a boxing ring with a prize fighter. I'm sure you've seen a menagerie of impresive things in MMA fights, so have I, and I'm not detracting anything from their skill... but watch Roy Jones stick his chin out, inviting a punch, and then a split second later knock a highly trained fighter out cold. Watch Mike Tyson do so much as TRAIN when he was in his prime... his hands are coming faster than you can blink and they're coming harder than you or I can even fathom. How else do you explain the fact that Tyson is taking MMA contracts AFTER he washed out of boxing? Because hes bored? What the fuck ever.

The Red Sox fans have been so gracious as to make a few items featuring the New York Yankees... I say we just return the favor. A few suggestions: - A hanky with 1918 embroidered in the corner, for the die-hard Red Sox fan when they inevitably blow another World Series victory. -Some kind of leather whip studded with tiny little B's, so Red Sox fan can lavish in pain and misery during the off season, when their humble ball club is unable to afford them any (unless they botch a few more trades) - A croquet set that, instead of using the traditional balls, uses balls that are painted white with red seams and instead of using the traditional rings to hit them through, uses little Bill Buckner dolls.

Stephen A. Smith reminds me of that Hooper X character from Chasing Amy. I KNOW when he gets off the air hes all soft spoken and feminine.

The Giants are the last team that needs Kellen Winslow. Have you honestly forgotten about Jeremy Shockey?

So the general sentiment is that Michael Moore can't make good movies because hes fat. Alright, good argument guys.

Upwards of 3000 killed in North Korea train crash
Jorge Gorgeous replied to a topic in Current Events
Turns out the death toll only got up to 161. Linkzilla -
I'm looking forward to "Inglorious Bastards." This was going to be Tarantino's epic before "Kill Bill" became his epic. Tarantino never went to film school (He never even made it past 9th grade) so his education was watching massive amounts of movies - therefore, I'd trust him with just about any genre out there.

Books you're shamed to admit that you read
Jorge Gorgeous replied to Betty Houle's topic in Literature
I can't say I read the whole thing, but the book I'm the most ashamed of owning is this book called "The History of Zionism" that I bought when I was on this "I'm gonna read really boring books and act really intectual" kick. Countless words on 750 big pages of SUCK.
