  1. No one cares about discrediting their championship run. I think the constant blowjob they got(deserved...they were making a dynasty there) with the added "they still get no respect" bullshit(completely untrue and got laughable after their 2nd Super Bowl, and was murder inducing after their third) Every single year, every single playoff game, people would universally pick the Pats to win. They would do the panel on ESPN, talk about how the patriots get no respect and all 10 of their experts pick them to win every playoff game and the superbowl. That shit got annoying. And add on to the fact that Tom Brady was the most overrated player in the league after their first superbowl(yes, overrated to Vick-ian levels), and 6 thousand "Aww shucks" video pieces on him made him as annoying as Peyton "I will sell anything" Manning is now.
  2. This has been the top news story on pretty much every major sports news outlet for a few days, and Belichick, normally considered a deity around these parts, is being crucified by his own fanbase. Where exactly is Kraft helping? He is helping because the franchise is gets their loveable mystic from him, because it damn sure isn't coming from their coaches or players. That is why there are so many "it's bad, but its no big deal!!!" Type of thing. If this was a Jerry Jones team people outside of Dallas would be advocating folding the franchise and drafting its players to other teams. And yes, I have never in my life seen a fan base with more of a inferiority complex as the Patriots fan base. And ESPN fed into it. :The Patriots, although they have won 3 super bowls still don't get respect. Lets go to our NFL panel of experts where all of them will felate the patriots for 5 minutes each, not one of them having a bad thing to say about them and all of them universally hailing them as the team to beat for the Superbowl, yet they still get no respect from....somebody..."
  3. Because people hate their owners. The Pats having a likeable guy as the owner is helping here. But I do agree that there would be less coverage, but comeon, one of the best teams in the league got caught blatantly cheating. If it was the Colts it would be the same.
  4. I get this real feeling that if this had been the Raiders or the Cowboys, you would have precious few people coming forward saying what a small deal it was and how everyone is doing it.

    50 Cent vs. Kanye West

    Have you seen In Too Deep? LL Cool J defiently broke the sterotype of his typical roles in that film. Can't believe I forgot Andre Benjamin, he is a natural for sure. In Too Deep was still LL playing LL with more sinister lines. Are you telling me he still wasn't trying to do the sexy swagger when he threw that girl the guys tounge. Even in the "I am your man!!" scene with the pool stick, he still was trying to do the same ol "I am seck-c" swagger. Once again, I agree that it was a pretty good movie and he did a good job, but I think it isn't as impressive as people try to make it out to be. And I understand that most great actors basically play the same guy in every movie, but that guy usually has a range of emotions. Even when he was angry in In too Deep, he still was trying to show a dimple with a smirk on his face.

    LL Cool J and Ice Cube have been in some good movies, but Ice Cubes acting range is "I am ANGRY!!!!" and LL's is "I am SEXY!!" Thats about it. I don't think I have ever seen either of them convey any other emotion well.

    50 Cent vs. Kanye West

    Don't get me wrong, Cube has some very enjoyable movies, but his acting isn't really anything impressive. At all.

    50 Cent vs. Kanye West

    No I didn't. Are you suggesting that he is even close to the actor those other three are? That just came out...wrong...
  9. Um...no, its apples and apples. Both are people using methods that are clearly against the rules to get and unfair advantage in the game. What they are doing to their bodies is irrelevant, because if that was really the case, why would they be playing football(which is alot more damaging to ones body than cycling steroids or HGH)

    50 Cent vs. Kanye West

    Don't blame him for Made in America! Plus you are leaving off Enemy of the State(ruled) and of course The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air which also ruled the school. ANd Latifah was great in Jungle Fever, House Party 2, Set it Off, Bone Collector, Set it Off, Chicago, the very underrated Ice Age 2, Brown Sugar and Stranger than Fiction. The thing Mos Def has going for him is that he doesn't really have a dud on his list yet(well...since Island of the Dead).
  11. I just find it hard to believe that most teams are recording the sideline coaches and have people studying their calls in the game. Everybody is doing it is not a acceptable defense here. If everyone is doing it then they should crack down on them too. But thats like saying "well, Rodney Harrison taking HGH isn't that big of a deal because there are other players doing it". And if they get caught the will get the same suspension that he got. That simple.
  12. http://sports.aol.com/story/ar/_a/how-dirt...912032409990001 Yes, you can. Mike Shanahan says they do it all the time. Trying to remember the play and signals is a little different than taping it and making sure that you know the signals, as you said. The only thing funny about this situation is watching Patriots fans try to justify it. It really is. Anyone want to find statement by Shanahan from the last 3-4 years talking about using Binoculars? You can't. Its illegal now. It wasn't in 02, when Mike Shanahan made that statement.

    Will Smiths two Oscar Nominations tend to disagree...although I disagree with one of those two Oscar Nominations (I was completely unimpressed with him in Ali) I don't know where Mos ranks, but him, Will and Queen Latifah are indeed the best.

    50 Cent vs. Kanye West

    His only statment about his retirement: Like I said, he never said anything about it. And I personally pretend that Encore(and smack that while I am at it) never happened. He had some monster verses and songs since that abortion of a album. His verses/songs on the Re-up were incredible. Especially that Public Enemy Number one song.

    50 Cent vs. Kanye West

    No he didn't. Of course, Em didn't say he was retiring either. He said he was going to take a break for a couple of years.

    Scarface references in rap

    Well if it was a better movie it would be a obvious cautionary tale. What it ended up being is a movie where Tony is obviously cooler than everyone else including the police, and it took an entire army to take him down in the end which is like the ultimate way to die in macho land. He had nothing and ended up with a huge house, millions of dollars and a fountain with the world is yours in it. Sure, he died at the end, but hell, so did Butch and Sundance, and Shane, but I wouldn't call either of them cautionary tales either. The movie glorified Tony from start to finish. The only thing cautionary about it was don't do alot of coke when you get money from selling it. I guess we are supposed to feel bad when he kills his friend for fucking his sister, but he was a fucking idiot for fucking someone you have seen Tony kill people for fucking her. And his sister would fuck the most random stranger in a bathroom, I am pretty sure there was no shortage of those in the coke empire. So don't call the people who saw how cool the character was stupid. Call the writing of that overrated movie stupid. Scarface is in the same vein as Commando. If you take it seroiusly you will see how incredibly stupid it is. Which is fine, and you will never hear people call Commando a thought inspiring movie. But people pretend Scarface has some deeper messesage when it is nothing more than another mindless flick.

    Jena school case

    You can't be seroius. I am sorry but you call a group of black kids niggers, taunting them because you were part of a group that jumped one of them at a off campus party the previous weekend, you should expect to get beat up. Its fucking highschool. Fights happen all the time. The exact same community saw fit to give slight sentences to the group that jumped the black kid is now trying these kids with conspiracy and were charging them with attempted murder. When the kid was at a school function a couple of hours later. THat is a bunch of bullshit and you know it. If you can possibly look at this case and pretend like these kids are being the victims of a corrupt system then you are a idiot.

    Trailer for The Rocks new movie

    Actually he won't win because he needs to prove that winning isn't the most importnant thing to him. The girl is.
  19. Odenkirk should produce trailers though because he sure can make some funny looking movies in trailers.

    Obsession with celebrities

    My mother never heard of Lindsey Lohan or Paris Hilton yet watched TV all the time. My point? The reason that you know they are "coked out dumb cunts", or have taken the time to form an opinion of them is because you are looking to do so. Stop watching shows about celebrities. Stop pausing on E! or Entertainment tonight. It really is easy. That fact that you know the shit in your post doesn't make you any better than crying emo kid....okay....I take that back....maybe a little better. But building up anger and venom over societies obsession with the famous is just as bad as defending it so hard that you cry.

    Scarface references in rap

    Dude, its fucking scarface. Its not like they are talking about some rare artifact. That shit is 9.99 at walmart. It comes on TNT for christ sake. Of course they have seen Scarface.
  22. So by posting a 5 year old article that brought about rule changes you think you are proving a point? That is why you can't use binoculars to look at the opposing sideline now. I'm sorry but thats like me posting a article from 1998 to prove Jamal Anderson is one of the best running backs in the league today. Fact is, since 2002 clear cut defined rules about this have been set. They have been gone over ad nausium with teams, and oddly, even though you think it is so common still, only one team has been caught. Twice. And accused 3 more times.
  23. Yeah...watching with the naked eye across a football field and remembering dozens of plays and picking up nuances in signaling certainly is possible and in no way is video taping it and watching, rewinding and slowing it down offers no advantage. They are the same.

    Trailer for The Rocks new movie

    Since when has PWS Anderson made anything good? Are you mistaking him for another Paul Anderson? WS is the one who makes primarily video game movies, writes or directs vehicles for his girlfriend, and pissed AVP's potential down his leg. I don't care what anyone says. THe first Resident Evil movie was good. It had nothing to do with the game really, but fuck that noise, it was good.
