Ripper

You know, white young people are the biggest buyers of crappy rap CD's. Oh and I did read Russell Simmons reponse to it and it was about as idiotic and hypocritical as you would expect. And Bill Cosby would just blame poor people.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?p...mp;lid=tab1pos1 Just read this. Tell me he doesn't strike you as a huge asshole.

It won't happen to Rush and Hannity because Rush and Hannity have higher ratings and people WILL follow him anywhere. Don't think this has that much to do with what Imus said. He could have said "fuck the nigger bitches and their dykey ass basketball team", if sponsers didn't start pulling out he wouldn't have been fired, simple as that. Its all about money. So as long as ratings are up, shock jocks have nothing to worry about. They can keep on being stupid. Funny thing though...If you are worried for your job if they fire a guy "for making a racist joke" then maybe you need to check your line of work.

I played with the NBA's new/old ball today, and honestly, what the fuck what they were thinking. That ball feels NOTHING like the old ball and I agree, it feels quite cheap and crappy. For that 6 hours of NBA experience that I had, i have to tell ya, that leather ball had a great feel to it. It felt better than any ball I had ever touched. I thought that the new ball at least tried to simulate that, but it feels worse than the synthetic outdoor ball I play with now.

Happy they got off if they were innocent. I think that between this case and the Kobe case, it goes to show that rape cases should just not be in the news until the trial hits. If that was the case, noone would know about either side in this nasty ordeal.

The 300 thing had me laughing. Especially the making coffee and the random speeding up and slowing down.

But sponsors dropped out thus ending his usefulness. He isn't going to be able to get alot of political players on the show now either. Thats why he lost his job. Yes he has said plenty of bad stuff before. But sponsors didn't pull out before. This time they did. ONce again, you are trying to blame everyone except the guy that is actually at fault here. Do we blame Tiger Woods because Fuzzy Zoeller(sp) made a racist comment about him? Or that guy that made the racist comments about Serena from the stands a few weeks back. Do we blame Larry Bird because Isaiah Thomas and Dennis Rodman made a racist comment about him? He lost his job because he said something stupid. Tough. Same thing would happen if I did it and if you did it if you had a negative effect on business for what you said. Once again, stop blaming other people for his fuckup. You can't be fucked over when you actually did what got you fucked.

Yes...its everyones fault that Imus got called out for THIS racist comment and not the ones before that. Yeah. He sure got screwed over. How dare they make him make the statment. Stop fucking whining. Its HIS statement that got press and made sponsors start pulling out which got him fired. I swear. You are worst than parents blaming video games for little Tommy shooting up his school. How about blaming the fucker that did the shit. Don Imus screwed Don Imus.

Maybe so, but I don't buy the whole injury excuses. Never have, never will. I've seen teams get past team injuries and go on to have succesful seasons. The biggest problem in ATL is Mike Woodson. I don't disagree with Mike Woodson being the biggest problem in Atlanta at all, but please name on team where the top 8 players on the team all missed that many games and still had a sucessful season. I think they would have made the playoffs despite Mike Woodsons ineptness if they could have gotten any combination of those guys back. The Hawks have a .500 record with a healthy team and like I said before the season, a .500 record would get you in the playoffs in the East. With a coach that is about half as retarded as Mike Woodson, I would put them over .500. And Porter, I am not saying Marvin is better than Durant, because, he simply isn't because he is such a passive little pussy more times than not, but when you see him agressive, I think you see what Durant will give you most nights in the NBA. And that player is not better than Wade, Lebron or Bosh like Ford was trying to say.

I don't think you can, but his numbers weren't as good as Moons and he is arguing that he shouldn't be a first ballot guy. I don't see how you can argue either of them not being a first ballot guy. Sure his teams had more sucess in the playoffs, but look at Moons playoff numbers. they were pretty good. Its not like he was out there Manning it up. But football is a team game. If the D couldn't stop anyone, whoopity doo. Kelly had a ridiculously complete football team.

Thats a joke right? You don't think the Warren love is warranted?(heh...that sounds funny). Warren most definitely shouldn't have been a first ballot vote in. His NFL numbers don't add up and his postseason record (3-7, 0 title game appearances) is pitiful. He got in more for his CFL numbers (which is like a baseball player going into Cooperstown based on his track record in AAA) than anything else. As MiB pointed out, Kordell Stewart deserves as much credit as anyone for that game. After that one TD drive right after Brady went out (a great moment and boost to the team to be sure), Drew was his typical mediocre self for the second half and the Pats didn't score an offensive TD the rest of the game (I believe they got a TD off a blocked FG and Vinatieri kicked a few himself). And Bledsoe's got his numbers because, like Moon, he threw A LOT. Every offense was geared towards him throwing the ball 40-50 times a game (he topped 600 attempts a season FOUR times in his career). But his TD:INT ratio, yards per completion average, and completion percentages were pretty average or slightly above average. Because Dan Marino's offense wasn't geared towards him throwing the ball ALL the time? Warren Moon is 4th all time in NFL yards with nearly 50,000 yards and threw 291 touchdowns putting him at 5th. Plus, you can discount the CFL numbers all you want, but lets be realistic. If he had played those 5 years in the NFL, he wouldn't have had the same massive numbers he put up there, but he would have been at least ranked a few spots higher in yards and touchdowns. How is that NOT a first ballot Hall of Famer? I could see if you were arguing against Jim Kelly being a first ballot guy (although I would still be arguing with you pretty hard) but come on.

Because Joe johnson missing 22 games and counting, Josh Childress missing 24 games and counting, Josh Smith missing 10 games and counting, Speedy Claxton missing 37 games and counting, Salim Stoudimire missing 17 games and counting Marvin Williams missing 19 games ZaZa Pachulia missing 10 and Tyronne Lue missing 17 games had no bearing on their record what so ever. Thats roughly 98 points a game. No one in their top EIGHT rotation missed less than 10 games this year. And they have a 9 man rotation. And they were still 2 games out of the playoffs up until about 2 weeks ago when Joe Johnson went down for the season. And they did that with the worse coach in basketball. Call me bias all you want but I would like to see any team lose their top 8 scorers for that much time and win 30+ games.

That broken hand really screwed him over this year. It was like he never really got his confidence back, although these last couple of games with josh Smith suspended, Josh Childress and Joe Johnson injured, he has been very aggressive....when Tyronne Lue decides to pass him the ball.

I have said it before and I will break it down again. Marvin Williams is a 6'9" Athletic guy that can handle the ball like a guard, has a great midrange and long range jump shot(although he doesn't take many NBA 3's) with so so back to the basket game. He isn't a great passer, and is a decent on the man defensive player that shows flashes of being even better with experience. He is also a decent rebound that will eventually be good for 8-9 rebounds a night. His biggest problem is lack of aggresiveness at times and he is streaky. Kevin Durant is a 6'10" athletic guy that can handle the ball like a guard(although Williams definately is a better ball handler) has a great midrange and longish range jump shot(although, once again, I kinda give Williams the edge in his jumper, though Durant is better at getting his jumper off when it isn't off a kickout). He is a better passer than williams, and is a bad on the man defensive player that shoes flashed of being even better at it with experience. He is a pretty good rebounder, but with his frame I don't see him being good for any more than 8-9 rebounds a night at best. He is aggressive, and works to get his point. Marvin Williams has the better build, is the better ball handler, and probably the better shooter. Durant plays like a superstar though and uses his skills and will take it at his defender while Williams has a tendacy to just settle for the jumper or outright disappear at times. Their games are more than just simular. Its the same game with one being twice as aggressive as the other. When marvin randomly gets aggressive and shows that no 4 man can deal with his ball handling and speed and no 3 man can deal with his bulk, he is just as dominant as you can expect Durant to ever be. But he doesn't do it that often which puts Durant on a different level than him. I am not in any way trying to say Marvin Williams is as good as Kevin Durant. Marvin Williams playing at his potential (which he does do from time to time) is just as good as Kevin Durant (who plays to his potential almost everytime he touches the floor) and neither of them are a Lebron or a Dwayne Wade or a Chris Bosh for that matter...which is why Chris Ford is crazy. If marvin had come back to UNC with a year of being the man, he would have put up Durant like numbers. If I am not mistaken, the entire starting UNC squad from that year made it to the NBA. At least 4 of them did. Durant wasn't QUITE playing with that level of talent.

Chris Ford is out of his fucking mind. I like Durant...I really do. But he is a more agressive Marvin Williams. And nothing about that says take him over Lebron, Wade or Bosh (you can argue Carmelo or Oden I guess)

the killing of the terroist cell wasn't that unbelieveable. Plus, Jack runs out of bullets which is always cool to see. They didn't know he was there so he got at least 3 of them before they knew what the hell was going on. The unbeliveable parts about Bauer come along when he is running through nerve gas or having his heart stopped and getting right back up and stuff like that. and it is 12-12 now.

I think it was the coaches calling for them(the bulls) to push the pace at with the game way out of hand. They weren't slightly hiding that they were trying to run up the score. It is pretty disrespectful though. you just don't do that. I understand it was for the crowd to get free big macs and all, but at least let the other team know what you are doing. Running a full court press and pushing the pace when you are ahead by more that 20 point is just a little distasteful unless properly explained. Then again, they do have a asshole for a coach so what do you expect. Ripper - Insults Scott Skiles whenever he gets a chance...fuck that guy.

I think I would vote him in too. He did have some amazing years and is a top ten passer yardage wise ever. That should be enough.

Oh please. In the world of "everyone waiting for a cop to fuck up" Mackie wouldn't have gotten away with half of the shit he has gotten away with. believability has to be turned off completely for everyone on the list. Except Walker Texas Ranger...because that shit real, son.

Thats a joke right? You don't think the Warren love is warranted?(heh...that sounds funny).

No need to be ashamed this year. They would be in the playoffs right now if the injury bug hadn't hit them, raped them, inpregnated them and then its hatchlings had their way with them too.

Gears of War was fun, but I prefer Rainbow Six Vegas. I always hated on Gears how you had to unload a whole machine gun clip into someone to kill them. Not if you aim better. And I am not the greatest at it, although last night I had a break through and started taking people out. I haven't even played Rainbow Six Vegas yet. Is that better than GRAW2, because I was thinking about getting that.

I haven't tried it yet. I probably will order a HD on Friday and try it. Worse case scenario, i have a new Sata drive, which is cool because I need one anyway. It doesn't seem that difficult. I haven't gotten Crackdown yet. I played the Demo to death though. I will grab it off ebay in like a month or two when its like 20 bucks. My current obsession is Gears of War online. Wonderful Wonderful game.

Yeah, Boon. They gave the conference, what, yesterday or Monday? This thing was all over the news a few days after he said it and alot of the stories were "still waiting for response from team". Them making a statment came days after it was already blown wide open. he had already aplogized, set up an appearance on Sharptons radio show, appeared on Sharptons radio show and a protest led by Jesse "show me the money" Jackson had already occured before they finally made that statement. It was already blown wide open.

I don't know for sure, but off the top of my head i say..Come on....its Microsoft. Of course standard won't work. For those wondering, you can use some WD HD as a xbox 360 hardrive. only works up to 120gigs since thats the highest that the 360 supports. you can get the details on xbox scene.
