Junk Drawer 9/15/2009 - Music & Basketball

PrintSo, I decided I wanted to write a Fanpost that started with, "So I decided I wanted to write a Fanpost."
So I like music that talks about basketball in the lyrics, but I can only think of a dozen or song songs; all hip-hop-ish. Give me more.
Skee-Lo - I wish
I wish I was little bit taller, I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a '64 Impala
I wish I was like six-foot-nine so I could get with Leoshi
Cause she don't know me but, yo, she's really fine
You know I see her all the time -- everywhere I go, and even in my dreams
I can scheme of ways to make her mine cause I know she's livin phat
Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball, so how am I gonna compete with that?
'Cause when it comes to playing basketball -- I'm always last to be picked
and, in some cases, never picked at all
So I just lean upon the wall or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls
Who came to watch their men ball --Dag y'all!
I never understood why the jocks get the fly girls and, me, I get the hood rats
Kweli Talib - Drugs Basketball Rap
[BEdgers] gettin' caught in the trap for the cash it's the drugs, basketball or the rap
Spearhead - Dream Team
The other day, a friend gave me a call
He said that the dream team was playin basketball
Was so excited - hadda get a witness
The first time the nba was in the 'lympics
Players from the east/ players from the west
And you can bet that they took the very best
("except they left Tim Hardaway at home"
"yeah that was hella [zach'd] up!")
But anyway I tuned in because i was hella psyched
To see Magic on the same team as Mike
Akon - Dangerous
Bad to the bone - everything locked like a two-three zone; I wanted her to make my black snake moan
Spearhead - People in the Middle
I am not professional, but I love basketball, the squeaking of the sneakers, the echo in the hall
Note I was going to add [Eazy-E - Boyz in the Hood] to this list, but urban dictionary claims that "cold shooting some hoop" doesn't mean basketball.
Here is a great list of songs referencing the NBA brought up by H-Play
PS We should trade cancer for a backup power forward. That way, we'd kill two birds (getting rid of cancer and getting a backup power forward) with one fell swoop. GET 'ER DONE!!!

did I miss this summers poetry contest?

i don't think one ever took place.
there was a summer essay contest instead.

Here's a topic I've been thinking of lately.
Let’s say they had a Hall of Fame for all of sports. Not just individual sports, but sports/athletics as a whole. This would be like the best of the best in all of the sporting world and it’s history. Who’s in there? I think it’s a very select group. My list is:
Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods.
My criteria was greatness in their sport, unprecedented impact on their sport and overall cultural relevance both in American and globally. I’ve also debated Federer, Jesse Owens, Jack Nickalaus, Magic, Bird, Wilt, and several baseball players. Who would be on your guys’ list in an all time sports hall of fame?
If you include the cultural aspect of it as a requirement that is a pretty good list
although it doesn’t have any football or soccer players. Players like Pele and Maradona would be in there. As for football, there would seem to be somebody (Joe Montana, Barry Sanders perhaps) that would be in there too.
Maradona is a good example for someone who would be excluded due to how his career ended and how it played out afterwards doing drugs with Fidel Castro and whatnot. At the very least it would have a bit fat asterisk (he is now back on track and national team coach for Argentina, but there was a 10-15 year period where he was a joke. Kinda like the Michael Jackson of soccer).
I might add someone from winter sports, like Ingemar Stenmark or in the future the still active Ole Einar Bjorndalen as the winningest athletes of all time. Jesse Owens would pretty likely be in it, he was a transcendent athlete and is clean from any suspicion about enhanced performance.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
Mhm, maybe if that had started a trend in bobsledding to use athletes (i.e. top sprinters) from other sports, or at least ushered a wave of top teams from countries not known for winter sports. Sadly it hasn’t. Some US teams occasionally use football players as pushers and one or two of them are good, but the scene is still dominated by less athletic but more skilled teams from Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, the baltic countries, …
There's Gotta Be More To Life
The reason I didn't include
winter sports is because I question the overall relevance of the sport on a cultural level. I just don’t think that any major winter Olympic athletes have really resonated throughout sports or as a whole culturally. I couldn’t hardly think of summer athletes that have aside from Jesse Owens. And if he hadn’t been beating the crap out of Nazis, that may have been questionable. For instance, I don’t even know who INgemar Stenmark is. I guess, though, that what I’m doing might be overly American-centric as winter type sports are, I’m guessing somewhat, much more relevant in Europe.
by DrivetheLane on Sep 15, 2009 9:23 AM PDT up reply actions
They are not as well known culturally, but there are winter athletes who are more dominant than any summer athletes or team athletes. Stenmark has won 86 world cups and several Olympic golds and world championships. The next best skier ever has won just above 50. Tiger Woods has won 71 PGA titles which isn’t even the best in the sport yet, and golf isn’t even an Olympic discipline. While I agree Woods should be in some hall of fame you could say “Why should he be in there, because of his skin color? What did he enable? Where are the other black golfers?”. There would be no winter tourism industry without top winter athletes. St. Moritz, Aspen & Co. wouldn’t exist.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
I'll take your word for it on the skiing stuff.
Tiger took golf to unprecedented heights. He hasn’t quite reached the statistical accomplishments yet, but he’s only 33 or 34, so he’s got probably 10 good years left to get those.
On strictly dominance within a given sport, there are several athletes from all over that could get put on this list. I was trying to think of athletes that moved beyond that domination to something higher.

I don't know.
I wouldn’t include him personally, but I’m sure an argument could be made.
by DrivetheLane on Sep 15, 2009 10:06 AM PDT up reply actions
If your list is intended to capture cultural impact in the US, it pretty much has to include a NASCAR driver
like Dale Earnhardt.
I have never understood the appeal of NASCAR, but its got a huge place in the culture in a big part of the US.
if it’s gonna include a NASCAR guy, I’d say Richard Petty… Earnhardt became lionized after he died

the drivers just go around in circles
are they really athletes? Would you choose Dick Weber for this hall of fame? How about Minnesota Fats? – Elgin
Without you out there, we're nowhere here
No, no, no.
I’m sorry….he wasn’t the best of all time. Not even close. If you’re going to have a race car driver, (and I would argue against it, even as a strong racing fan) you’d be much better served with either Richard Petty or Michael Schumacher.

by antediluvian on Sep 15, 2009 1:19 PM PDT up reply actions
Schumacher is a good choice
Not so sure about Petty though.
In college I knew a girl who was really into NASCAR. She would schedule her Thursdays so she could watch qualifying. Not a race but qualifying (queue Iverson’s practice rant). Anyways, I once made a comment about how Petty was a better driver than her boy Tony Stewart. This ticked her off. Not only did I think that she was going to start throwing punches, but she said that Petty had an advantage over the field because he raced in an era where the cars weren’t nearly as standardized as they are now and Petty had a huge equipment advantage over the field.
honestly, I could live without Aspen and St. Moritz...
I have so far

Well, any mountain town with tourism. Unless you count hiking. That was what the English guys did before there was mountain sport.

in any case, I think people would ski, whether or not there was a Stenmarkm or Bode Miller or Parson or Kostelic
…but I think that’s true in general. People play sports because they like them. They may watch sports for the stars, but I think they play for themselves

It’s an interesting claim. My impression is that horse racing was much bigger in the past, and a bigger part of our cultural lives. Secretariat was pretty impressive as far as competing and winning goes. As for an athlete?—I don’t know what the qualifications are.

I'm not sure what qualifications would be either.
Except that the first qualification should be being a human. Secretariat might not have run anywhere without the jockey. :)

Some of those horses work out more than MLB players. And from what I know about horse racing, a lot of horses know they are racing and don’t like to lose.
Well where are the sled dogs then?
They love to run much more than horses, and they hate to lose even more
plus a lot of baseball players
use the same workout vitamins that the horses do.

I think I’d be easily convinced of animals as athletes. I guess one thing I start to wonder about though, is how much organics fits into the definition. What I mean, is I can see AI, or Robots, causing this definition to become blurry. For example, DARPA (the US Armed Forces experimental department) holds a competition for AI controlled cars driving over a course. I could see one day, something like the Olympics only instead of countries, we would have institutions—MIT, CAL Tech, etc—all competing with robots and other in-organics…

Willie Mays.
Can you imagine being a baseball fan in NY in the mid-50s, when the three center fielders in town were Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, and Duke Snider? and they were all very young men. Think of the arguments over a pitcher of Ballantine’s Ale or whatever they drank back then. – Elgin

haha that's absolutely insane how good those three were
and to be playing at the same time, in the same city?

Tamagoyaki Before?? it’s like a sweet fried egg/omelette?? one of my co workers just brought some in and tried it…
Pretty Legit.
"Awesome! Totally awesome! All right, Hamilton!"
It is the sweet egg that is served at sushi places. It is a rectangle shaped omelet on rice with a band of seaweed wrapped around it.
Japanese put sugar in almost all egg and black bean foods. It takes them a while to get used to not having sweet eggs or beans in western foods.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
It is easy to make. Scramble eggs, add sugar, pour in frying pan, and stir.
it is kind of the safe food for people at sushi restaurants that are nervous about raw fish.
You should try the sweet bean stuff. They put it about all their sweets. It is great with broiled/toasted mochi on a cold winter night. It tastes better than it looks. The beans are red, but when cooked they become black.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
Don't forget the song that Ralph Tresvant did about the Dream Team
unfortunately because it came out in ‘92 the Internets don’t think that it exists.
No, because nobody knows who that is. See my link about The Fresh Prince above, that was also 92.

They were a boy band that was big in the '80s
Bobby Brown rose to fame as a member for New Edition before starting his solo career. 3 other members formed the group Bell Biv Devoe that had some hits (and later became one of the original members of the so called “East Coast Family” with Boyz II Men and ABC).
I guess that your knowledge of late 80's/early '90s music from America isn't as strong as I thought
Here is a quick refresher:
ABC: Playground
Bell Biv DeVoe: Poison
Boyz II Men: Motown Philly
Bobby Brown: Every Little Step
Ralph Tresvant: When I Need Somebody

Gavin does nothing but complain and why is he still talking about Blount? All Gavin does is kick someone else’s idea up a notch and never says anything original.
I had to turn it off
He said Serena Williams threatened to kill the line judge and she did not.
Sticking a tennis ball in someone’s throat would only choke them. The line judge could die from that, but there were plenty of people there to give her the Heimlich Maneuver.
also, the fuzz allows air to pass around the sides of the ball, so you can still breath

Sorry JDers, I need to vent...
So I’ve been trying to buy a home for the past 5 months. I put in an offer, it was accepted, and then the banks took forever to process it.
It went into closing last week. Hurray! I needed it to move into closing such that I could get the $8k from the feds.
Well, my inspection was yesterday. And there is a 30" sinkhole of unknown depth underneath the attached section of this house.
After 1 month of searching and 5 months of waiting, I now have to start over. Fan-freaking-tastic.

or a pit like in Silence of the Lambs
“you put the lotion on the skin…”
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
Typically banks won't fix anything during a short sale...
They’re already losing money, so they don’t want to lose any more. But this house will never sell with a sinkhole, thus it would go into foreclosure. And typically they’ll lose even more money there. So maybe they’ll fix it… but I can’t really count on it considering it took them 5 months to approve a selling price that was greater than what they asked for.

It took them 5 months to move from accepting to closing?
Wow, that is a really long time. I refinanced our home recently and it only took 2 months from the paperwork being approved to closing. I thought that took a long time because when we bought the house the whole process took about 2 weeks.
The problem is the "short sale."
The banks are losing money by selling the home “short” of what it is worth. It’s better for them than to have it go into foreclosure… so it’s kind of a pre-foreclosure.
In this process, they want to review and demand things, then review again… every week it was “2 months out” before the banks approval. It’s a mess.
"The playoffs now are my grind. My grind for a championship,'' Roy said. "Whatever needs to be done to get there I'm gonna do it.''
If the bank owns it, it’s already in foreclosure… if it’s just a short sale, then the current homeowner would be the one to fix it. and yes short sales suck… we had our offer accepted beginning of January and din’t move in until mid April due to all the levels of hell management

Wow, that sucks. How come the inspection took so long?
We had our inspection done about a week after the offer was accepted. Was someone trying to hide the sinkhole until the last minute?
Buying a house is ridiculously stressful. I hope I never win the lottery and have to move. Good luck with it all.

You guys are forgetting one of the greatest basketball songs of ALL TIME
That’s how I beat Shaq – Aaron Carter
Yo guys, check it out
Guess what happened to me
(Another crazy story, come on AC)
I was hanging at the court
Just playing some ball
Working on my game
(Yeah, we heard it all)
I heard the fans screaming
I thought it was for me
But then I saw a shadow
It was 12 foot 3
It was Shaquile O’Neal
(What? What did he say?)
(How ’bout some one-on-one, do you wanna play?)
I told him why not, I got some time
But when I beat you real bad
Try not to cry
(Please Aaron, are you for real?)
(One-on-one with Shaquile O’Neal?)
Yeah, 34 Centre from the L.A. Lakers
(You must’ve been nervous)
I knew I could take him
Stared’ at Shaq, psyche him out
I said O’Neal, you’re in my house now
Start the game the whistle blows
Pay attention close ’cause the story goes…
[CHORUS]
It’s like boom (boom)
I put it in the hoop
Like slam (slam)
I heard the crowd screaming
out jam (jam)
I swear that I’m telling you the facts
Cuz that’s how I beat Shaq
[X2]
So check it out
I thought I had the lead
But then he started scoring mad points on me
I was scorin’ the bricks
Was he hitting those shots?
I knew that there was a way that I could make it stop
I had a plan, that I could change the pace
I said, Yo Shaq you didn’t tie your shoelace
He looked down, I stole the ball
I’m taking him to school now, watch me all
A 3-pointer, nothing but net
Come on Shaq, had enough yet?
Down by two, I’m catching up
I guess your getting nervous
Cuz you already lost
[CHORUS]
Dunk after dunk
Jam after jam
Cheerleaders are cheering
Aaron’s the man
[X2]
Announcers were shocked
Couldn’t believe it was real
(I can’t believe a kid just stuffed O’Neal)
One more second, was all that remained
I put the ball up
I put him in shame
I must admit that it sounds real crazy
but the ball went in
Then he cried like a baby
Sorry Shaq, I should’ve let you win
You’re good too
And we can still be friends
The fans went nuts
They put me on their shoulders
Then I heard a voice
And it sounded like my mother’s
(Get up for school, you’re gonna be late!)
Ma, can’t you see that I’m playing the game?
(How you could be playing if you’re still in bed?)
(Are you gettin’ sick, did you hit your head?)
Aw, man it was all a dream
I guess that kinda thing could never happen to me
If it was a dream and it wasn’t real
How’d I get a jersey with the name O’Neal?
Woah…

I got more than probably usual out of Philly and Romo and maybe Orton though I’m reading pretty good things about Denver. But Clark and Housh and McFadden had a pretty subpar weekend so I also have some upside. And Ward and Walter on the bench. Not that bad as a starting point. I also checked up today that BRP has 3 starting guys on Bye week when I play him :)
There's Gotta Be More To Life
I’m very low on McFadden and Housh (Seattle WRs are not great for fantasy. Get the TE.), but I like Clark quite a bit. Peyton loves to find the TE.
The thing is that a defense scoring that many points is an insane anomaly. That is incredibly unlikely to happen again.

An NBA team should look into German PG/SG Schaffartzik for next summer league. The guy has a 3 point shot that extends well to NBA range

although TJ Ward is another guy I would consider
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
Ward’s good too but Dickson would thrive in a pass-first offense with a pure passer like Canfield. Too late to transfer?

at least he’d get the ball more than 3 times in 2 games with Canfield passing. A pretty big waste of talent by Oregon if they continue to not look for him IMO
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
I don’t know about “waste”… he usually gets a lot of yards after catch, right? Either way, good blocker and great athlete to have on the field.
he has 3 catches in 2 games
i’d say that’s a pretty big waste of (probably) your best receiver; even though he is a tight end.
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."

what do i do with my RB/WR spot?
(our league is .5 points per reception)
right now i have Lance Moore there; but i also have Kevin Walter, Jamaal Charles, Earl Bennett, Earnest Graham, Lav Coles, and Fred Taylor on my bench….
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
holy crap. I think only Lance Moore is owned in our league.

Weird rule interpretation in Germany vs. Croatia (tied game going into the 4th). A bleeding player took the first FT, then had to leave the field when the ref saw it, and another player shot the second one.

I already have a waiver claim in. Don't know if I could still trade a player I have marked as to drop if the claim goes through.

you can still trade a player in your drop if claim is successful...it's whatever clears first...
if the trade was first, and it goes through after 24 hour voting period, then your waiver claim would be invalid

which color of blazer jersey is the best to buy?
red, white, or black?
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
i think it depends on the player.
I have a white Roy jersey. But if I ever get a Batum jersey, it will be red. I’d get a black jersey for Oden or Pryzbilla. I’m kinda weird like that though especially since I don’t really have a rhyme or reason. Those colors just seem to go with those players.

A related tangent
A local cafe[cabaret?] has an ASCAP beef on their plate,as near as I can tell its ok for them to have any one play original music but playing the radio or cover bands they owe the man the vig so I can play my original stuff or even cover a Allman Bros,Robert Johnson tune on slide as long as I dont sing the lyrics.When Letsblaze or my son post down loadable MP3[?] stuff on their websites there is still a public performance for profit copyright thing that applies.

Basically, any time you use copyrighted material in a public setting, you need clearance to do so. This, I think, is a reason why some artists don’t allow people to record their shows (in the event they cover something). Covering work is less of an issue than making a medley of the work, or altering its integrity.

Some people actually care how many All Star appearances Durant makes compared to Oden. I think Oden will help win more games.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/steve_aschburner/09/15/issues/index.html?eref=T1
Portland’s Greg Oden spotted Kevin Durant 80 pages last fall. That was the difference from where Oden would have appeared in the official NBA Register (pg. 159, between O’Bryant and Okur) and where his entry actually ran (pg. 239), back there in the “Promising Newcomers” section. Oden was a rookie again because he missed all of 2007-08 because knee surgery. Now he’s back after a second straight injury-hampered season — a season in which Durant put even more distance between them as a budding NBA star. The Oklahoma City swingman boosted his numbers pretty much across the board (from 20.3 points to 25.3, 4.4 rebounds to 6.5, 43 percent shooting to 47.6, 28.8 percent from three-point range to 42.2). He got to the line more than all but nine others (524 attempts). He’ll be an All-Star once the Thunder start winning about half their games, and some suggest he might crash that James-Bryant-Wade party in talks of NBA supremacy.
In other words, Durant fast is making the 2007 draft look like a bad coin flip on Portland’s part. Unlike some critics, I’m not going to invoke the name Sam Bowie (oops, too late). But Oden is two years behind in development and impact and, while that’s no biggie at age 21, it is getting late kind of early in this assessment.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
Is it mandatory that every single NBA writer writes about how good Durant is
and how much of an injury prone failure Greg Oden is and will continue to be?

Part 2: Mercury Update
She DID open her stitches up a little bit, as I’ve been out of the house and my wife’s mom isn’t as diligent with telling Mercury not to do that.
That’s another thing… wife’s mom is now here. Whoa boy.
So Mercury bled a little more, but it looks closed up now.
I lucked out in the mother-in-law department. My husband, not so much
Sounds stressful. When is Mercury supposed to get stitches out?
Next week, I think?
I forget. Things have been moving quickly.
Life, career, and money stuff been weighing me down. Mercury is actually the only thing going RIGHT right now, even though she can’t walk. The mom exacerbates problems.
It’s a totally stereotypical son mother-in-law relationship. Now, my mom is silly too, but she saves it for my sisters, and doesn’t bother wife with it. She’s mainly only silly because of menopause. Mom in law has more serious issues.
Well, good luck with the career and money crap. Sometimes ya just gotta suffer through a bad patch. . . . I have a lot of faith in your ability to make thing work out.
The in-law stuff is always weird. The funny thing is my husband is the only one in the family that gets along well with my mother. He was an actor in a previous life and he relies on all that training to deal with her BS. She has no idea how much he can’t stand her.
Just act real racist around your MIL so she won't come to your house

Because of her breed and what she was created for (dog fighting), she’s got muscles even though she is a lazy pup who loves to sit.

Much less exciting than your life, to be sure… just getting random crap together for my dorm. School starts super late… I kinda wish it would just start now so I’d have a longer Christmas break.

Did you watch courtside yet? Rice was highly critical of Oden three weeks ago, saying that he absolutely had to shed weight and be in shape… he ragged on Oden for at least a segment.
So when Rice brought up Oden last night, there was credibility. He said he was down to where he needed to be and looked like he could be the anchor of a running unit.
WOOH BOY, HONEY CHILD, SWEET AND SALTY.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
I haven't watched it yet
Is it in a podcast? I’ll listen to it. Been swamped and up to my guts in crapsticks.
Rice is a homer
But he always talks crap when someone is doggin’ it, or out of shape, or being on that exercise bike during practice too much.
exactly. He murdered Oden, raked him over the coals… but in this episode he says Oden is in shape and moving like a gazelle up and down the floor. Good news.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
lol. I have faith in Rice that he’ll stick it to the man.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
He'd at least mumble under his breath and say something bad about Oden when they were about to go to commercial.
If he saw Oden wasn’t in shape, he’d be doing his muttering he does about players.
he’s so rebellious. He did just that… the mumbling thing during the August 17th episode. As they were going to commercial he made a derogatory comment about Oden’s workout habits and being made to work out. Barrett couldn’t get to break fast enough.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
Haha, I swear I didn't listen/watch it
I hadn’t seen one since they took a break for a few weeks.
It’s just what he does when he disapproves of someone.
I’m laughing because it’s dead-on… whenever he really wants to say something he makes some very… “un-subtle” grumbling at the end of the segment.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
BARRETT: Ok, the phone lines are happy, and Courtside will be—
RICE: …and I hope Oden’s paychecks don’t keep going right up his nose, like those old Rocket’s teams…
BARRETT: —right back.
And I love Robocop
One of the most underrated movies ever.
The sequels suck, with #2 having some redeeming moments but being really bad. I just liked it as a kid because it had a kid my age swearing a lot and being a drug kingpin.
It also has the best INTENTIONAL catchphrase ever
Usually when one tries to make a joke catchphrase, it is forced and dumb. Or it happens on accident.
“I’ll buy that for a dollar”, with a Benny Hill-esque future-show, was genius.
The actor who played Robocop ended up becoming a history professor

Stromile Swift monster dunk about 18 months ago (via ShamSports). Morti will notice that Tyrus falls for another dumb fake enabling it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GiLII8vw4A
There's Gotta Be More To Life
He just really super duper wanted to block the mid-range Stro jumper!
It’s so funny how much Tyrus loves pump fakes. He’s such a good shotblocker otherwise.
Looks like Stro still has it!
He just needs time to reach his potential and learn who he is as a player
Stromile Swift will beat out LMA for the starting spot.
I wish I knew more about the "why" of Stro's failure to be a good NBA player
Was it effort? Not a hard worker? Couldn’t add skill?
He was certainly athletic and had a great body. Always a shame to see potential go unrealized.
He is undersized at both the 5 and 4 spot and while athletic not very strong making it tough to hold position
His defensive numbers are decent especially on blocks – not so much on rebounds – and he has a career 16 PER, in his sophomore year being as high as 19 before going back to league average. A year ago he shot over 50% from the floor with a lot of dunks like that. A league average player as a backup PF wouldn’t be all that bad. What is odd is that he is constantly on teams that don’t win a lot while he is there, bringing him up very high on the FreeDarko “cancer rating” although he isn’t really one. He is described as a bit unfocused, like Tyrus. Tyrus really could be the next Swift.

The Ohio State USC Game.Share
Today at 2:37pm
It took me a while to write this because im still hurt about what went down this past saturday. The Ohio State Buckeyes took on the USC Trojans and lost. It was a good game not like last year the Buckeyes was leading the whole game, but ended up losing it in the last 5 minutes of the fourth. The first half of the game i was on the sidelines with a couple of former basketball and football players. I had a great time seeing those hits close up. The second half i went up to the press box because i was getting cold and was tired of standing. Had a good time eating and talking to some of Gene Smiths old college teammates. As we was winning in the fourth half way through i decide i want to leave early so i can beat the crazy rush. On my way out all i heard way boos and people yelling so i happen to see a tv and watch the Trojans score and break my excited saturday night spirit. AT LEAST IT WAS A GOOD GAME.

But it's GREG ODEN
I just picture him with tiny reading glasses, sitting at a typewriter, thinking about his day.
Oden can do anything and it would captivate me.
Wasn’t there a movie with a really tall, black computer hacker with glasses? It might have been one of those cop buddy movies.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
That's become the thing to do
Make the computer hacker/nerd a black dude… it is somehow not racist despite being incredibly contrived and forced and done over and over.
Ohio State fans are the worst
Somebody actually threatened to knife me after the game.

you guys think it would be fun to make a JD that we all pretend is a game thread? so we all say stuff that we would say during a game thread. like travis just cost us the game etc.
its one of the building things where we basically post a comment and the next person that posts says something similar or something that happens a couple seconds later in the game. so basically we make up a whole game. it could end up something like the game in space jam who knows. kinda like a goosebumps book. choose your own ending…

I don't think it needs to be a junk drawer
It could be a separate post. It’s pretty slow these days. It’s not like it would bump an “important” post off the front page.
would the jders find it tho?

Sure
Just post a link in the JD.
So . . . . When are you thinking of doing this a fantasy gameday thread?
idk whenever. if norsk doesn’t make one tonight

some people will be screaming about Rudy hitting a 3 and then some other people will be simultaneously talking about Batum blocking someone from behind on a fast break. It won’t make any sense

This idea clearly has merit
Ziller et al could not ignore the sass and it would make a nice sort of auxillary JD as a regular thing till the season starts,we could even invite the mods

Someone needs to invite TrentEdwardsFTL so he can beg for a link to the game.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
I love that link.
I’ve had it bookmarked for a few months now, ever since Timmay mentioned it. I get to use it a couple of times a month.

What would you do?
The wife and I were talking long term life planning this evening, and I’m indecisive. What would you do?
We own a house in Phoenix, because a few years ago we moved there for her job. The job ended up being terrible, and two weeks after signing the papers, we found out we were pregnant. The pregnancy was horrible, and combined with how much the job sucked, we moved back to Portland a few weeks before our daughter was born. The housing market tanked so we couldn’t sell the house. Long story short, we still own the house, and have renters until next summer.
Having been back in Portland for a few years, my wife is almost done with her Masters, and i’m generally discontent with my job. I have friends with another company back in Phoenix in the same field that could probably find me a job at similar pay. For my wife, she could make about $30k more per year working down in Phoenix than she can here, but the job would be more stressful with less support. My whole family lives up here, but since we live in Vancouver, we don’t see anybody all that much anyway.
Anyways, I’m on the fence. Opinions? Would you move back to Phoenix to live in the house you own and make more money? Or would you stay near family and make less money?
Whatever

Money >family
Not really but I would probably go….and you could get NBA LP

Phoenix is a pretty cool city

Aside from the job, etc. did you LIKE Phoenix?
I don’t think would ever be happy in a place that didn’t “speak to me” in some way, no matter what the salary.
That's what I was gonna ask
If you think you can make a better life there, then yes, go for it.
Is PHX better than Vancouver? I dunno the answer, I’ve never really been to either.
May be easier to watch the Blazers even… no black outs.

It's hard to really know
The pregnancy was SOOOO bad. She was puking all day, every day, couldn’t keep fluids down, I had to scrub the carpets Mortimer-style at least once a day, etc… We were so freaked out about that stuff that the city itself wasn’t a major concern.
The weather isn’t a big deal, because everything has awesome A/C. The winters was phenomenal. Traffic wasn’t awful, but everything is at least a 20 minute drive because of the sprawl. But when it’s sunny out, you don’t mind the traffic so much.
They have plenty of disc golf courses, which is the only thing I do outside for the most part. It’s a NBA and NFL town, so there’s that. So yeah, I guess I did like Phoenix.
Whatever

How much nicer is the house you own
Compared to what you got now?
And does wife like her job, that pays her more?
We're renting an old house in Vancouver.
The house we own is 1800 sq ft, built in 2004. The mortgage payment would be a little more than our rental payment, but we’re losing $400/month after the renters pay anyway, so we’d actually gain.
My wife loves her job here, and would probably like it there, too. She’s a speech path, and last time she worked for a company that pimps out the pathologists to various schools. This time she would probably work directly for the school district, which would solve a lot of the problems she had before.
Whatever

Anyways, gots to sleep now.
Thanks for the input, homies. We’ll talk again tomorrow. This move wouldn’t be until next August at minimum, more likely 2-3 years away.
