You did! In reference to the long bass intro on the album version of I Will Posess Your Heart by Deathcab For Cutie.

Well that's sort of stupid. I mean, it's your draft, and I actually like the Paul pick based on this last year alone, but you thinking Paul is going to get better shouldn't make your team better. You can't say "YEAH, I MEAN HE WAS PRETTY GOODUNALL IN 08 BUT HE'LL PROLLY BE EVEN BETTER SOMEDAY!!!" and have it count for this thing. I could say "I'm expecting Darvin Ham to come out and average 35/9/6 next year, so, take that into account when I draft him" but I h'aint going to. I think Paul will get better too, I don't disagree with you, but let's leave projection out of this thing, eh?

"Houston-Area"

I was going there next, if he was still around... but I never thought he would be.

I could be wrong, but I think if you hate a player because of the media hype that is mostly beyond their control, then you're more concerned with hype than you are with basketball. LeBron didn't dress up in a wedding dress or anything, he didn't do anything to court attention beyond being an amazing, transcendent basketball player. I feel bad for you, Dama! Not in a snooty, superior way either. Kobe and LeBron play beautiful basketball, and hating on them for their hype is lame.

Oden deserved a couple of votes for that ESPN the Magazine commercial.

That and I need a PF still. Yeah, I forgot Shawn was 6'10" I was thinking he was 6'8" or summat. And Nique/Kemp is a sick, sick forward duo. I also just block out anything he did after he left Seattle, since he went ass up around that point anyways. What about the three world championships he helped the Portland Trail Blazers win?

LeBron gets a lot of hype. LeBron deserves it.

Well... It's a cooler name. D'antonio. Kornheiser does it as a joke. I don't know about the rest of 'em.

That dude's shirt has abs. That looks cool, and all, but the tackling hasn't really ever bothered me in Madden. Now, if they said "IMAGINE A GAME, WHERE THE SAME OZOMATLI OR SOMETHING SONG DOESN'T PLAY EVERYTIME YOU TURN IT ON..." then I'd be interested.

I don't think everyone did. The NCAA conducted an investigation into Mayo before be enrolled at USC and he came up clean.

I wonder how many of those alternate uni's are Oregons

And allow 3's to blow right past him on the other side!

Well guess what... that innocent person... was MICHAEL JORDAN. I hope you're happy. Seriously though, you're fucked up if you'd pick the human.

Alright, after much deliberation... Phil Jackson, Coach Nine rings. He had Jordan, Pippen, Kobe and Shaq, but he also handled Jordan, Pippen, Kobe and Shaq. I'm running the triangle.

I'm grabbing Rain Dogs and Swordfishtrombones right now.

I had a black guy call me a racist 'cus I said Horry looks like Will Smith.

So, the idea here is simple. There are a lot of bands, musicians, groups, etcetera that are considered important. Bands you're supposed to like, for lack of a better term. Sometimes catalogues are daunting, and if you come at them the wrong way, you can get turned off to the artist. Maybe someone at this board can help. Post a band you'd like to get into, and hopefully someone here will have some suggestions for songs or albums that represent what the artist is all about. I'll start it off. Get me into Bruce Springstein. ( I know the radio songs, but I also know there has to be a lot more to the music than that_ Get me into Tom Waits.

Come on, this is retarded. Don't get me wrong, animal abuse is horrible. HORRIBLE. The people who do it should be punished. However, there are acts purpotrated on other humans EVERY DAY that are worse than dog fighting. If a man held a gun to your head, and gave you a choice between abusing an innocent animal and abusing an innocent human, would you really pick the human? Really?

FUCK YEAH

This is horrible, but DMX isn't fighting dogs for money. DMX fights dogs 'cus DMX loves to see dog fights.

I almost went with Nash, but I decided that would kill me on defense.

David Albert "Big D" DeBusschere Power Forward. Shaq keeps people out of the middle pretty good, and Gervin is a pretty good defender, but I'm going defense first with this next one. Big D, and D stands for defense. 6'6" 220 6 Time First Team All NBA Defense 8 Time NBA All Star 16 PPG 11 RPG 2 Time NBA Champion Major League Baseball Player The Hardest Working Man in Basketball

Alright, it's been 12 hours, my pick is forthcoming.
