Okay... Kanye isn't a better rapper than Lil Wayne. That isn't even an opinion you can have. I'm removing that from the options.

QUOTE (Тайг @ Jun 2 2008, 07:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mencia is fucking awesome, stfu. Let me start this off by saying I like a LOT of different comedy, from Will Ferrell to The Kids in the Hall to Richard Pryor to Dane Cook. I tend to see the best in what these people are doing and even if I don't think it's all that funny, I learn from it. Dane Cook, for instance, can take a joke that most comics couldn't sell, and he'll milk it for every single drop of humor and do it with enough energy to get the room laughing so hard it shakes the windows. The ABSOLUTE BEST thing I can say about Carlos Mencia is that his stand-up act is high energy and is sometimes funny. He also had this section at the end of one of his shows where he spoke frankly about racism, without making jokes, and talking about why he makes so many racial jokes. I thought that was pretty cool. Beyond that... he is the WORST comedian who has achieved any significant amount of success in his field. He his loathed by other comedians at a level that I have never witnessed before. When I was performing at The Comedy Store he was brought up and it was like Nuremberg... and he came up at The Comedy Store! That's his home court! You could call them bitter, but there were some very succesful comedians back there who hated him too! He steals jokes for his comedy act, and that's fucking horrible. It makes you an instant-fuck-up and nearly irredeemable. I've also heard that he isn't that funny one-on-one, which is forgivable (neither was Phil Hartman, evidently) but it isn't a good sign. His sketch comedy show, Mind of Mencia, is the worst thing I've seen on television. I mean that sincerely. I've tried to watch it several times and I can't understand why anyone would bother watching it. It is horrible at first glance, it is horrible over time, it is horrible as red meat, it is horrible in an academic sense. His jokes are cheap, one-dimensional abominations that rely on racism, shock value and cultural fabrications and are executed in such a stale way that they make second-hand dime-store joke books seem fresh. Yelling a lot and saying "beaner" isn't a joke. Finally, "dee dee dee." This is his signature! His calling card! This is something I'm pretty sure I was using to make fun of retarded people when I was in grade school! I mean that. Maybe it wasn't "dee dee dee" but it was fucking close, and it carried the exact same meaning. It's unforgivably unfunny. People who like it are less intelligent than people who don't. It's that simple. Dumb people think this is funny. I don't think that about anything else on earth! I think people who believe in Bigfoot or love new country music or DVR Flavor of Love or read into Coheed and Cambria lyrics or follow Dave Mathews Band around the country or fuck animals or believe in 30 different gods can still be intelligent people (they might be, they might not be) but ANYONE who thinks "dee dee dee" is funny, is a fucking idiot. A FUCKING IDIOT. They also posses woefully underdeveloped senses of humor and are only funny when observed physically and NEVER when taken audibly. There may be some spelling or punctuation errors there. I wrote it pretty quick and I'm not fine-tuning a rant about Ned fucking Mencia.

LB - Ray Lewis I would have taken this guy in the top five, so I'm thrilled. 9 Time Pro Bowler 7 Time All Pro Super Bowl Champion Super Bowl MVP 2 time NFL Defensive Player of the Year 30 career sacks 25 career picks Criminal This man is insane. Insane, I say. And I'll take him.

Well, it was funny.

Well, I should think we will all be picking o-linemen in the next several rounds. The idea that Emmitt wasn't a top five running back just because he had a good o-line is brainfuckling.

nogoodnic sent me his pick... Emmitt Smith RB 8 Time Pro Bowler 6 Time All Pro NFL's All-Time Leading Rusher 1993 NFL MVP Super Bowl MVP A great north-south runner who can step up to pass-block when he needs to, Moose Johnston once said that Emmitt was a better pass-blocker than he was. He was durable, piled up yards and racked up more 100 yard games than anyone else ever. In addition, he's a classy guy in even the most outlandish locker rooms.

F - Josh Smith Averaged 17 points, 3.5 assists, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1.5 steals per game last year. Coming off the bench, he can put tough defense on the other other team's scoring threats and he has the ability to put the ball in the basket as well.

Hey, motherfucker. Don't use "dee-dee-dee." It's fucking stupid. It's the stupidest fucking thing in the world. You should be ashamed of yourself. Fuck.

Hah, I was just going off of the list someone posted earler. Do you want the earlier pick or the later one?

Draft order is up! Rules are up! Check the first post! Vic Mackey on the clock!

Alright! I'm situated. Let's start this thing. I'll update the first post with draft order, and rules, in just a moment. The miss three picks and you're out thing is law! If that happens, your players will be released back into the pool, and somebody gets lucky. Linemen will be drafted individually. So, let's fuck this duck, shall we?

Agent Bond and I are talking about putting together a 2K8 league, possibly with fantasy draft. Size and season length can be determined once we've got a number, but we'd like to do it with mostly TSMers, and then maybe a few friends, as well.

Are you being a smartass? Because I'll threaten you on the internet.

Fuck yeah, I'm with you. To me, and I could be way off, here, but it doesn't seem like a "I enjoy watching MMA!" To me, it's like they're trying to co-opt that asshole tough-guy attitude, or hope to be mistaken for a UFC fighter, because it's the last sport left where you could throw on the right t-shirt, be a fairly average white dude, and be mistaken for a professional athlete. I guess it doesn't really anger me, but it's one of my MANY "I see what you're doing, and I don't fucking buy it, asshole" obervations. Other groups who get the same from me? Hipsters. "Of COURSE I like The Black Kids, didn't you see my stretch pants?"

I wanted to add another center who could do a little of everything, including one thing very well. C - Elmore Smith Career leader in Basketball Reference's Defensive Rating, ahead of Ben Wallace, Tim Duncan, etcetera. 5th all time in career blocks... in 9 seasons. 17 blocks in a game. In his prime he was pouring in 17 points and grabbing 15 boards per game. In one season, he averaged 4.9 blocks per game. Insane. Great defense off the bench.

Of course I don't mind, the help... I mean, don't take over or anything. I just drove from L.A. to Portland in a straight shot, so I was out of touch for a spell, there. I think we should take o-line seperate. I thought about drafting whole lines before I made the thread, but that would take something away, in my opinion. I'm open to what the masses think, though.

Yeah, it was bound to happen, but with the NBA draft winding down, it seems like a good time.

Nice, you're in. Also! We'll vote on seeding, and then do it through WhatIfSports.

That is where I was going to go with my next pick, and where I woulda gone with my last pick if I hadn't just taken a SF. Nice pick, sanchez.

PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF ME

Huh... interesting.

LA is horrible.

Oh yeah, Newman makes a great Lemonade, Limeade and Arnold Palmer. Check for it in the juice aisle, it's in a carton. Best lemonade I've ever had.

Newman's Own does a good Arnold Palmer.
