    Where does Kobe Go?

    Deng has more trade value. And fuck John Paxon while I am at it. He could have at least given Phoenix Thabo after they handed him Deng. Son of a bitch not letting the suns trade up. I love Deng. Really do. But at the end of the day he is a midrange shooter that isn't that great on defense. Thabo is a much better defender and has point guard skills at his size. Once again, I love Deng, but you can find a 6'9" consistant midrange shooter in the late first round.

    Where does Kobe Go?

    You know who I forgot? New Jersey. They could offer up a resigned Carter and Jefferson, and maybe even throw in Marcus Williams for the Kobe. Kidd, Kobe, Nocbar, Mikki Moore, Nedad Kristic Thats pretty much a finals appearance.

    Where does Kobe Go?

    Kobe and Josh Smith would be punching each other in the face within a week.

    Where does Kobe Go?

    I forgot to add Nocioni into the Bulls trade...if you resign him. Noc, Deng and Gordon is one fuck of a package. And the Bulls have enough backup at each position to justify trading them for Kobe.

    Where does Kobe Go?

    Kobe has a trade clause, doesn't he? He can veto a deal. With that being the case, he isn't going to want to be traded to a loser. That leaves very few teams that can trade for him and still have the pieces to be a decent team. Chicago and phoenix can put together packages where the team would still be competitive even though they would have to ive up alot to get him. The Bulls could send Gordon and Deng, the expiring PJ Brown, and that first rounder. I am not sure if thats enough, but they could. That would leave you with Hinrich, Bryant, THABO, Tyrus Thomas and Ben Wallace...in the east....yeah...they would still be contenders. The Suns could offer up Marion, Barbosa, Kurt Thomas's expiring deal or James Jones, a unprotected first rounder next year and 2 first rounders this year. You are left with Amare, Boris Diaw, Kobe, Raja, and Nash starting with a depleted bench which doesn't matter because Mike D'Antoni doesn't play his bench anyway. That is still a contending team.

    NBA Playoffs 2007: Conference Finals

    Malone needed bitching about. And so does the front office. And honestly, so did Shaq at the time. The Conspiracies, now that was bull. But I am sure that Pat Burke bitches more (in fact I know he does) but he is Pat Burke and noone gives a shit. The fact a mic is in his face makes it seem like he is complaining more than any other player. He is the best scorer in the game. He is going to get alot of press. Plus Shaq/Malone was what? 4 years ago. The dude can't bitch once every 4 years?

    Holly Hunter in the Piano over Angela Bassett in whats Love got to do with it. Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction losing to Cher in Moonstruck. Julia Roberts over Ellen Burstyn in Requiem for a Dream.

    NBA Playoffs 2007: Conference Finals

    There is nothing wrong with it. He is away from his family for how many months, on the road and busting his ass for a franchise that doesn't care about winning right now. Whats the point? Yes, great players have had their prime wasted, but find me one great player that didn't complain about their prime being wasted. Thats what great players do. They want to win. They aren't satisfied with just being able to play in the NBA. Bottomline, when he was a free agent he told them he wasn't interested in a rebuilding project, he wanted a team that could compete now. They knew all along that they weren't trying to build a team for now. The person that got decieved has a right to complain. You would complain too if you were at a dead end job. I think its a little unfair to say that the guy should just be happy with whatever because he had sucess early in his career. He might as well retire then if that is the way he is supposed to think. And I don't even like the guy.

    50 cent and Vitamin Water

    Why the fuck is that stuff so heavy. A bottle of Vitamin Water weighs like 50lbs.

    NBA Playoffs 2007: Conference Finals

    Ugh. He has the right to whine. The team signed him by telling him one thing and knew they were doing another. The team has had multiple chances to better themselves and refuse to do so. I would see if they were built for the future but they aren't. Outside of shooting guard and maybe Center, they aren't built for the next 5 years. Odem, at the rate he is going, is going to break down sooner or later. Nothing at the point (I am not counting Farmer as the point of the future), nothing at the Small forward... His prime is going to go to waste. Tough. By the way, saying Bell and Kobe couldn't play together would be underestimating the professionalism of both of these players. If the Suns threw Marion, Barbosa, Atlanta's unprotected next year and those two first rounders this year the Lakers way for Kobe, they might have to pay a little attention, but seriously, who the hell would pay to see that team. Kobe isn't going any where. He is too much of a draw.

    Rev. Jerry Falwell

    Oh there is a difference. Jackson uses racism or the fear of being called a racist to make money for himself. Not on the same level as using religion to spread hate, but it is understandable why people don't like him. I agree, no parallel should be drawn in between the two. They are both assholes on completely different levels but assholes just the same. Something that actually has to be realized that some don't want to admit. Black on white racism doesn't ultimately matter until white people realize that it occurs and is wrong. When you have a guy like Jackson that has in more than a "few" cases drawn a link to racism when it in fact wasn't there, you have a person that is perpetuating the belief that racism isn't that bad or it is dead and people claiming that it does occur are just trying to make a buck. He is one of the few in the center of media attention given to the minority community...and he happens to be a glorified ambulance chaser. That doesn't sit well with me at all. Yes he was there when Martin was shot and was apart of the marches. Yes. That doesn't give his money grubbing actions in the present anymore forgiveable. Yes, he confronted it at one time. But i don't know if it was the call of money or want for publicity that caused it, but he, through his actions, has brought about a entirely new breed of racism and hate. Think Invader2K and you see what he has created. One of those.

    Comments that don't warrant a thread

    I recently have been playing the hell out of Total Overdose. Its a blatant GTA rip off, only in Mexico, with worse graphics, but the game play is just fucking fun. You get all these different bullet time effects and shooting moves (nothing is cooler than doing a flip off a wall and pulling off 3 head shots while in the air...nothing) and really cool power ups like the Golden gun(one shot kills), El Torro(where you run people over like a bull) and El Mariachi(two guitar case machine guns) Or this one where you summon a Luchador with a machete to come and fight along with you. Its a really addictive game. the story is pretty stupid, the voice acting is okay, but it has some great fire fights, and is just kick ass game.

    So Leena's banned.... again

    Should have just said she would put bullets in niggers heads instead of giving point infractions. Then it would have been okay.

    God Hand

    Beat'em ups are never going to be reviewed well again because reviewers call them repetitive, which of course is exactly what they always were. I think its a case of looking at the past games and forgetting what they were actually like.

    Rev. Jerry Falwell

    And over a generation of crying racism where ever the money was good thus making actual racism seem fake. The "race card", a term overused to the point it laughable, came about because of a guy like Jesse Jackson. Fat ass black guy on meth dies of a heart attack after attacking cops and Jesse is front and center calling it racism. Shit like that makes it harder for every person out there that has to deal with real racism. The media has deemed him the face of black people for some reason and he continually spews some of the most stupid bullshit imaginable and it get attributed to the entire black race. People get Jesse Jackson involved to bring attention to something if a Civil Suit will be filed. And it almost only gets media attention when anyone with common sense can see that it isn't racism, just to make blacks look stupid. Fuck Jesse Jackson square in his fucking ear. I actually have a respect for Al Shaprton. But fuck Jesse. I wouldn't celebrate his death though. I would celebrate his retirement.

    Michael Vick's "Dog Fight" Investigation

    No one gives a shit about Marcus anymore because he isn't the QB for a top 5 ranked college team.

  19. you have to admit the misspelling of PROCSECUTER was particularly kick ass. In my defense, I don't give a shit. The board underlines all misspellings and I just leave them there. Just because.

    Michael Vick's "Dog Fight" Investigation

    There was more than Portis? For the most part I have seen a bunch of people talking about what his supension should be and convicting the guy before he has been charged. I am like most people, when it is all said and done, then I will have a say but until then I have no idea, and no one else should be pretending to.

    Michael Vick's "Dog Fight" Investigation

    Sigh. Well lets see... The investigator on the case says there is no direct evidence that Vick has ever been involved with any of the things going on there. The investigator says that there are no witnesses to dog fighting on the property. "The dogs, he said, appeared largely to have been well cared for, and the only one that required immediate veterinary care had a broken leg because of a birth defect." Overall it appears the place was used for breeding, with the only thing that is making them think there was dog fighting was a pry bar(used to pry open the mouth of pits, which you do need if you breeding them by the way) and a BLOODY CARPERT(the way the press is calling it) with a "few specks" of blood which also is very consistant with dogspotting(something else from breeding) and a treadmill which many kennels use to run dogs when adequate space isn't there. Vick says he hasn't been there often and there are not witnesses to deny that. I have never seen somone so universally considered guilty when the PROCSECUTER on the case is saying there is no case against him. As for the informant....in the whole interview he A: Has never been to the house in question, B: Says that he knows of at least 20-30 other NFL players that bet on dog fighting....he just doesn't know any of their names. C. Vick was betting on dogs with hands full of money, 20-30 thousand on this one night....in 2000....when he was in college. If it was late 2000, it was during the season. IF it was early 2000, no buzz Michael Vick while having living on the Virginia tech campus came up with 20 thousand dollars to fight a dog he had been paying to get trained. While in college. Even if you want vick convicted, I don't see how this isn't wait and see time, because the case against him is pretty nonexistant. And once again, this isn't me talking. Its the procesutor on the case. And for the "But its his house" people, he bought a house for family. Don't act like that isn't unheard of. Shaq for one owns a house in every city that has a NBA team so he doesn't have to sleep in a hotel. I am pretty sure he doesn't get to all of them very often. Dozens of athletes own multiple properties. What Vicks cousin did at one of them is on Vicks cousin. He doesn't live there.

    NBA Roundtable Discussion

    I think the Cetlics would be insane to take a point. Rondo is obviously the guy that should be running the show there. They need a defenseive pressence inside. Hell, they can trade that pick and go after Tiago Splitter no offense but solid on defense ass.

    Night Trap falls into the 'hilariously bad' group of games. The plot was over the top terrible, as was most of the acting. I was wondering if you had seen...MAH BOAT! MOST of the acting? The worst game was that Slam City with Scottie Pippen basketball game. Good god I hated that game. Oh and the Sega CD is completely worth it if you can find that Eternal Champions game. Greatest unlockable characters ever.
