Okay, now we are just using revisionist history. Isaiah THomas was BLASTED by everyone in basketball for making that comment about Bird. Then he had to come out and do the apology, and continued to get blasted. Whats funny, all he did was agree with Dennis Rodmans comment, but he was the bigger star, so he got blasted. It was talked about for the rest of the playoffs that year. If anyone else was watching basketball around the time, they have to remember that. And Reggie White was ran in the ground for the racist remarks, and blackballed for the homophobic remarks. Have you HEARD from him lately. To say he didn't take any flack is just plain ridiculous.

Imagine the girl trying to explain to her boyfriend that she had "Just woke up and this guy was in her room". I bet that caused quite the argument.

Well, the black QB stereotype was still running rampant back then. I think it is safe to say that we are at the point where QB's are guaged on perfomance and wins and losses before they call you good or a bust and not on race...unless you are Jake Plummer...you can absolutley suck ass and still get called a good QB. Jake Plummer trancends race.

Except that its bullshit that people let Isaiah off the hook. He was ran into the ground for that statement, and then he MAGICALLY didn't make the Dream Team...anyone wonder why that didn't happen? Isaiah made the EXACT same comment and it was lambasted just as much as Rush's. Only you couldn't really ask for Isaiah to resign as a point guard for it.

Just don't accept their challenge to a spelling bee. Because the second you spell "hear" as "here", you'll be out the door.

Brad Johnson has a historically great defense that will be a thing that history will talk about. Mcnabb doesn't. And once again, no body took RUsh to task about the minority coach hiring thing at all. No one would take him to task about calling Donavan overrated. That isn't even a issue. But it is BULLSHIT to say that the press is giving him a free pass because they want to see a black QB succeed when there are over half a dozen cases in the league RIGHT NOW of black QBs that play like crap and are constantly called crap and there is a obvious precedent of ANY QB that would put up the numbers and results that McNabb has would be praised. The media cannot attempt to claim that somebody like Akili Smith is great --- so they don't try. There is only so far that they can go. But the moment they find an above-average QB --- like Donovan --- and he has a defense that makes his teams win --- as it did in Philly --- they will all but root him on. They gave him considerably more praise than they did Johnson, and both QB's were easily replacable. The press wanted a white QB to win because a) they are laden with white guilt and b) Jesse Jackson et al have been raising hell about the "lack of black QB's" for years now (as it stands now, they are OVERREPRESENTED as a percentage of the population). I will say, again, Brad Johnson does not get ANY NEAR as much praise, and his numbers are VERY comparable. Philly's "D" was as good as Tampa Bay's has been the past 2 years. -=Mike That is horseshit. Johnson gets less press because he A: Spent years wallowing in mediocrity B: Has a defense that gets more press than the rest of the league. McNabb has better numbers than Elway and alot of those other "great" QB's their first 4 years, he has the all time highest per rush average, carries a offense with no big time performers besides him, and is on a successful team. And Peyton Manning was STILL getting more press than him before last year. And he has been getting cruxcified in the press this season for the rough start, just like any QB would have. Are you honestly saying that if Donavan was white, he wouldn't get the press with the same numbers he has now?

I love that you just seem to accept what National Enquirer says as gospel. -=Mike Actual media outlets are jumping on it too, though. Sad seeing as a fucking tabloid is the basis for it.

If I am going to be watching really REALLY bad sports this year, it will be when I see the Hawks play. I mean you take a blah team and take away it BEST player...LETS GO WATCH!!!

Except that he plays on the perimeter like a guard, is allergic to rebounds and plays laughable defense. Has nothing on the box compared to Kandi, and a blocked shot? Never. He can shoot though, and runs the floor pretty well...but i don't think ANOTHER perimeter player is exactly what they needed. I think it is a stretch to say that Wang can't rebound seeing as he never plays for more than 5 minutes at a time in a blow out game. Once again though...he can shoot.

The fact that WWE would give RVD one shot (and one shot only) at "main eventing" and proving he's a draw, while giving guys like Nash, Luger and HHH forever and a day to try and get over on top, speaks volumes about WWE's attitude toward their fanbase. If the crowd didn't pop like NUTS for Jericho "winning the World Title" from HHH (and let's not even attempt to claim that any pop RVD has ever received approached that), he wouldn't have gotten his push. If the crowd didn't pop for Benoit "beating" Rock on PPV (or if the number sucked), his push would've died immediately. Everybody gets their first shot. And, unfortunately, bigger guys get more chances than smaller dudes. -=Mike The pop when he "beat" Jerhico was ridiculously huge. Plus, has RVD ever been put in a big match that he didn't job. We would need that to have a comparable moment to judge really. And although you like to ignore it, RVD/Christian did pop the numbers during their match. THey took it back to respectable after the abyss that the JR/Coach segment sunk the show into. So basically you are saying the RVD/Christian aren't draws because they didn't get all the viewers the rest of the show lost back.

Why the fuck was anyone wearing bathing suits on the set of T2? Yeah, thats the comment that I took away from that whole article.

I said that during the finale last year. I just try not to think too much.

Predrag Drobnjak....is that the guy from Seattle. If it is, you have absolutley nothing to be excited about.

I'd definately memorize a lotto number though.

Well, it would either be 1995 when I broke my neck playing football...just wouldn't have played football.. Or 1999 when I basically had sex everyday for a year. Wait, if I went back would I know what I know now. Like if I go back to highschool, would I be equiped with all the knowledge of how to get laid that I learned in college?

Ripper replied to rising up out of the back seat-nuh's topic in Poster Tournament

"Leaving pizzas around you is like leaving me around some candy..." *starts chomping teeth* "I'll eat's it up!"

By date do you mean "date" or DATE... *does explicit gesture with hands to explain what he means* *remembers Zack can't see him and that was pretty pointless* *sees lady that sits across from him did see him...hopefully she smiles* ... ... *shes not smiling* Dated, as in for a while. So yeah, I'm assuming what you're thinking. Lucky bastard got to meet Toni Braxton too. Oh, you could go to Phipps Plaza in atlanta like any day of the week and see Toni back in her "I'm spending money for no reason what so ever." Days. She is like 3 feet tall.

Martin in "Nothing to Lose" 0wns your face! "I'm-- I'm Nick Beam.That's what I told her. I'm Nick Beam. And Nick Beam ain't puttin' up with that bullshit. She'd have been crying, you know? "Oh, Nick, please take me back. Please, please, Nick. It was only one time." I'm gone "one time" your ass. Nick Beam is the master of his fate, the ruler of his destiny. So if you wanna cry on somebody's shoulder, why don't you cry on Superdick? As for Nick Beam, I'm fit, lit, and I damn sure ain't takin' no shit. So you can get the fuck out. That's what I'd 'a told the bitch. *cuts eggs* Dats what I'da told da bitch."

The hell you say. If I were younger I would state how hot she is. But I'm not. So I will say that if I had a little brother, I would be happy to see him bring her by the house....Yeah...thats it.

Sorry, my internet is going crazy...I think it is trying to come to grips with someone likeing 2f2f. But nah, that all the character brought back. I missed the two cops from the first one. Dammit, I can't remember their names now...I think it was Sanchez and Ramerez, but they were pure gold in the first movie. But all you got was Randle, and Joey. They could have brought back Chet the Doorman.
