    I'm sure the loss wasn't that devestating. This is the perfect game to completely overlook the competition though and.... ... Yeah...who am I kidding.

    How Reggie White's death ties into steriods

    I said he was one of the greatest, but it's arguable to say he was the greatest. Remember his rushing yards record just recently fell to Emmitt Smith (who's still tacking onto it amazingly enough), and Jim Brown had that record when the NFL wasn't playing a 16-game schedule. Then you also have guys like Eric Dickerson, Marcus Allen, BO JACKSON~, Paul Hornung, Barry Sanders, Tony Dorsett, and the list goes on and on. And of course modern day you have a ton of running backs who could be considered potential hall of famers besides Smith- Jamal Lewis, Ahman Green, Curtis Martin... It's quite a bit of competition, but Payton's still up there. Outside Barry Sanders, and Jim Brown, and...(sigh) Emmitt Smith, you can't really put any of those other guys on Walters level. The guy was just simply amazing to watch and did it for a while. I mean, yes, Jim Brown is probably the best running back to play the game, and barry sanders if he had anything resembling a offensive line would probably be above him too ( I still argue that if any of them had the line that Emmitt had, they would have had 3000 yard seasons every year) But he is on a VERY short list of running backs. I still say Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton have got to be everyones 1-2-3 in whatever order you want to put them in.

    How Reggie White's death ties into steriods

    Walter Payton gets a liver disease that has NEVER EVER IN MEDICAL HISTORY has been linked to steroids. EVER. The CLOSEST link that you can come up with is that both primary sclerosing cholangitis and anabolic steroids are listed as possible causes to cholestatic jaundice. Thats as close as you are going to come to linking the two. They have no history of having anything to do with each other. Of course you will duck that by saying "not enough is known right now" but that holds as much ground as "Now its never been proven that chewing gum can make your penis fall off, but I think there just isn't enough known about penisfalloffia to say it ISN'T a cause." Walter Payton is basically famous for his workouts. Since his highschool days, to college, to the NFL, was known for being a incredible worker in the offseason. Cameras followed him to watch these amazing workouts. That coupled with natural talent is why Walter Payton was so good. Unless you are suggesting that OJ Simpson and Jim Brown and every other great running back before him were also juicing up. Maybe Jesse Owens got in a time machine, came in the future, shot up some anabolic steroids and went back in time to be one of the most amazing atheletes of all time too? Your basis for believing Walter Payton did roids is that A: He was really good and B: He died early. And I am naive because I don't agree with THAT bullshit? He died of fucking cancer! He had a liver disease....they discovered cancer, he died. People die young everyday from it. Are they roided up too? So unless you are suggesting that we are stupid for not believing that Walter Payton was the first person to develop a this disease through the use of steroids( and the last person to do so apparently) MAYBE you should take your own advice and do some research. Find me another athlete with the same issue due to steroids. Hell...find me another athelete PERIOD with the diesease...(the closet you will find will be Chris Klug, and he was taking prednisone, which is basically the opposite effects of steroids) Hows about you making a point and not just baseless accusations about a great athelete and great man.

    This week in the NBA

    I still think that the Wesley/Jackson trade was unbelievably bad for Houston. Okay, you take wesley, a decent shooter, not that good of a point guard, undersized, bad defender and give up your, and this is a point made my alot of the Rockets players after the trade, most consistant player on the team. He is probably the top perimeter defender, the most consistant shooter and scorer, can rebound, pass and handles the ball very well. So basically, he gives you all of wesleys pluses, without the minuses. Take into account that the Rockets JUST traded for Jon Barry, who is basically the exact same player as Wesley, and the trade makes even less sense. So in Sura, Wesley, and Barry, they have 3 guy s that they will probably be using at the point, all of which are 2 guards. Sura is the best one of the group defensively, rebounding and ball handling wise, but compared to Jackson, it just doesn't add up. I am just not sure at all what is up with this trade. On the NBA frount, I am happy that Phoenix lost that game to San Antonio, because they were (outside of Steve Nash and the coach) developing this attitude that they were invincible. They hadn't suffered a REAL lost yet (the biggest lost was 5 points in overtime and the other two were by 4 points combined) They needed this one and against a great team like the spurs makes it even better. I am interested to see how they bounce back against the Hornets tonight. Greg Popovich gave a clinic in coaching last night, running steve Nash around the court on offence and over a million screens to wear him out and slow down the phoenix fast break game. Amare Stodimire florished in the half court game(37 points) due to the Spurs not doubling and staying at homeon the shooters thus negating that spurtabliliy that the suns have. I wish Barosa would have seen more minutes against parker, as I think Barosa is probably one of the quickest guys in the league and a great, long armed defender that could have at least made Parker work. overall, great coached game and played game for the spurs and a big slice of humble pie for the Suns, although I am not going to be one of the naysayers that are coming out of the woodworks today screaming about "See, the suns aren't really that good!!!" I mean they had to lose eventually. Still....24-4....oh yes...

    Tupac - Loyal To The Game

    Oh COME the fuck on ant. You know and I know that Em is just a huge ass Pac fan and jumped at the chance to produce this joint. He went to Pacs mom about producing a track or two and the record label jumped at that opening and said "Hey, eminem sales....eminem + tupac = alot of fucking money in our pocket!!!!" I just don't think it is fair to say em in exploiting pac, cause honestly, I think we all know he ain't exactly starving. Me personally, I like the CD, but I wish Em didn't do EVERY damn track. There are some incredibly hot beats and there are some down right bad ones (I disagree with the Dido and Elton John ones being bad...those are some HOT beats). DJ Quiks loyal to the game remix>>>>>>>>>>better than the em one. ANd the Hennessy remix> than ems. But all in all it is a cool cd.

    How Reggie White's death ties into steriods

    Walter Payton wasn't on shit but insane as workouts. Walter Payton died of bile duct cancer. I think it is sad that everytime a athelete dies it must be steroids now, despite what could have happend. "Malik Sealy died in a car accident!" "Well...thats what THEY say, but it was probably steroids." The day people start throwing roid accusations at Walter fucking PAYTON is the day something is wrong with the world.

    I don't state the names of black homosexual characters from the 80's and early 90's. That includes the guy from Fame and the guy from Maniquin. Bascially any movie from the 80's and early 90's actually because they all had a flaming black guy in them. Even the Care Bears.

    SHE HAS A MOUSTACHE! Damned if I ever seen it Sounds like you're the one with fixation issues Stevie Wonder could see it. No he couldn't. He's blind. He can do that thing like Daredevil. Thats what they based the movie off of. Except they changed Matt from a musician to a lawyer to protect the innocent or something. True story.

    College sports

    I personally can't stand college hoops, because honestly, its a bunch of guys that kinda suck now with a few standouts. I mean honestly, its just BAD basketball most of the time. In a NBA that is 60-61 at the end, I can still enjoy because I like a great defensive effort. Hell, I have watched every single Hawks game this year and i will watch Josh Smith play a thousand times over before I watch too many Tech games. I think the energy of the crowd makes college sports look better than the pro game honestly. Because when it comes to the pace and the skill level, college basketball can't really compete. College football...i actually do enjoy. not more than the pros mind you, but I do enjoy it. The players still look very skilled and don't look amatuerish like the BBall player do to me. I guess thats just me though. I prefer the NBA and NFL anyday though.

    SHE HAS A MOUSTACHE! do you dig chicks with hairy upper lips? I always wondered about you I was just about to say that. If a hollywood makeup artist can't hide the manly upper lip, then imagine what it looks like in real life. Something like steve Harvey with boobs.

    Zack, you heard the man. FrozenBlockofBonerPiss is too long. Just make it BonerPis with that little faggy thing above the i. The COS sure loved his hoggies. I'd love to see him vs. Winslow. Winslow would win because Claire would walk in and stop Cos from eating his hoggie because he was on a diet or some crap. Winslow's wife just didn't give a fuck...with her non working/non cooking and cleaning ass. Of course, Cos had the prime piece of ass, so I woulda done what ever she said too.

    It IS a message that everyone needs to hear. Especially if your sitcom family neglects you for your snot nosed cousin with a jerry curl mullet. That kid was walking proof that people are born gay. Him and Jonathan from Who's the Boss. I mean, you can watch him run from Cujo and know he would be sucking cock in about 16 years.

    But he's so zany! Come to think of it, Cousin Pam's mom never came to visit, Bud must have been the neglected child (peter too once you think about it) Denise and her husband just LEFT fucking Olivia....Vanessa got married to some African guy and you never saw the fucker again....The Cosby house was one fucked up place. I see why Bill is such a angry speech giver now.
