Giants offseason rumor mill
Rumors are rumors. But as it's mid-November, there seems to be little else to talk about.
So here are some the rumors going around about the Giants' offseason roster plans.
GRADY SIZEMORE: The Giants have been mentioned to be in the group of teams interested in the Indians outfielder. Joining the Giants are the Rangers, Yankees and Cubs, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com. The Phillies, Red Sox, Indians and Rockies are also said to be interested. That's a big group with a lot of deep pockets. The oft-injured outfielder is said to be seeking a one-year deal to rebuild his value, which would make a good fit for the Giants. But the Giants are looking for a bargain. They are not in a position to get in a bidding war over damaged goods.
CHONE FIGGINS: The Mariners are reported to be willing to absorb some of the cost if they can find a trade partner for Figgins, who is owed $17 million over the next two seasons (plus at $9 million vesting option if he makes 600 PAs in 2013). Figgins does have two qualities the Giants seriously lack: plate discipline and speed. However, he's coming off an injury-filled season in which he hit .181 in 313 PAs. His 2010 was also a disappointment, when he hit .259. However, his on-base percentage that season was .340. Nothing special. However, there was only one player who had more than 200 ABs for the Giants last season who had a higher OBP than .340 (Pablo Sandoval). Figgins' 42 steals that season were more than twice as many as any Giant managed last season. So if the price is right, the Giants would be wise to listen to any deal the Mariners offer. Figgins can play 2B, 3B and outfield. MoreSplashHits actually was considering a trade for Figgins last season for Aaron Rowand, but then the Giants cut Rowand and his $12 million contract for 2012. That may have been the best bad contract-for-bad contract deal for the Giants. I read a blog earlier this fall saying the Giants should deal Barry Zito for Figgins. A good deal for the Giants. But the math doesn't compute. Zito is owed $46 million over two years, a disparity of $29 million. The only other fat contract the Giants have to offer is Aubrey Huff, who will make $12 million ($10 million, plus a $2 million buyout). And as bad as Huff was last season, Figgins was worse. So I don't see that as being a deal the Giants would be willing to make. The best deal may be one in which the Mariners are willing to pay at least $12 million of Figgins' remaining $17 million.
JASON BARTLETT: The Padres are looking to cut costs, so SS Bartlett is said to be available. But at $5.5 million for 2012, the Giants could do better for less.
JOSE REYES: Jon Heyman reported that he didn't expect the Giants to be a player on Reyes or Jimmy Rollins. We don't either. Reyes was reportedly offered a six-year deal for $90 million from the Marlins. No way the Giants compete with that. Heyman said the Giants are still in the market for a SS, 1B and OF. Well, the SS and OF we understand, but 1B? They already have Aubrey Huff, Brandon Belt and Brett Pill. So what do they need with another 1B?
1 Comment
I have been a diehard Giants fan since 1952 (yes, when they were my hometown team in NY as a youth). Of course, I was thrilled with the 2010 W.S. win. The Giants reaped the reward by selling out every game last year -yet sadly did not make the playoffs due to a variety of factors discussed ad nauseum, primarily injuries (Posey, both Jonathan and Freddy Sanchez, etc) and play regression from key players (Huff, Torres, Jonathan Sanchez, and not surprisingly, Zito.)
Sadly, it now appears the Giants, despite their window of opportunity based on their stellar pitching staff, are moving forward on the cheap. Of course, signing Timmy and Cain should be a priority – but to get them to sign long-term, and to compete for another champoinship the Giants MUST IMPROVE THEIR OFFENSE!! The Giants offense last year was hard to watch – trully TORTURE!!! Yet the Giants appear uninterested, or unwilling to spend any of the high revenues they have enjoyed the past 2 years, and even beforehand based on attendance figures.You can look it up – the Giants home and road attendance figures are among the best in baseball.
I get it – the Giants given their existing payroll, cannot compete for the "high ticket" free agents such as Pujols, Fieder, Reyes and perhaps even Beltran (athough I am not convinced that Beltran is out of their league). However, just today I have seen two one-year signings by other teams that are extremely troubling – Cleveland signing Grady Sizemore (5 million plus incentives) and Doumit signing with the Twins (3 million). No one can convince me that both these players were not out of the Giantsd financial reach.
It is obvious the Giants need outfield help (despite the trade for Cabrera) and at catcher (given Posey's health issues) and their existing backup catchers both being subpar players – who can't hit their way out of a paper bag and as such are useless as pinch hitters. I don't know what it would have taken for the Giants to have obtained both Sizemore and Doumit – but it could not have cost them more than 10-12 million for 1 season – with additional $ incentives for Sizemore. Those cheap (for the market) signings would have strengthened two areas of weakness (catcher and outfield), solidified the bench, and poterntially greatly enhanced the offense. Of course, signing those players would have been somewhat offset by the savings for whoever the backups now wind up being. The potential upside would have been substantial. If Sizemare comes back to even 75% of the player he was before his injuries he would be one of the best Giants outfield options – a good fielder, hitter with power and base runner,not to mention a highly motivated player hoping to them obtain a longer term contract at age 30. I highly doubt Cleveland would have resigned him if after doing their due diligence they did not believe he could make a complete, or near complete recovery from his injuries. Doumit, a switch hitter, would have been good insurance in case Posey cannot catch full-time (no doubt uncertain at this point in time), also enabling Posey to play part-time elsewhere without a nothing bat behind the plate, as well as providing a useful bat off the bench. He certainly did not sign with the Twins for the opportunity to be a full-time catcher givne Mauer/
Am I crazy here? My fear is that Neukom was let go (retired?) because he realized the Giants needed to spend $ to possibly bring another champoinship to SF. Now, even though I like Baer, the edict from above appears to be simply MAXIMIZING PROFITS! That desire will not only prohibt the Giants from competing for a division title next year, let alone another championship in my lifetime, but also will no doubt render their stated desire to lock up Cain and Timmy long-term unrealistic. Why would they stay long-term when they can get as much or more money from a team dedicated to winning and could provide them with offensive support? If the Giants are banking on team loyality as means to get them to sign long-term deals they have their collective heads in the sand. After all the fact that this is a business works both ways! Both Timmy and Cain suffered with aN UNBELEIVEABLE lack of run support this past year, even worse than in years past, and as a result their win/loss records suffered greatly. I understand the team is a business and I am not suggesting that the Giants spend so much money that they wind up in red ink. However, the two noted players, Sizemore and Doumit would not have "broken the bank" on profits.
Sorry for this long rant. I ferventlly hope I am wrong and the Giants brass will pony-up the $ that will be required to guarante that the team will have a fighting chance to compete next year and into the future giving the fans what they deserve for spending their hard earned money supporting their team.

In an effort to get impaired drivers off the road, raise public awareness about the dangers of impaired driving, and most importantly, to save more lives and prevent injuries on roadways, a nationwide impaired-driving enforcement crackdown, "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over," will be conducted from mid-August through Labor Day, Sept. 2.
Hundreds of law enforcement officers across the state will be aggressively looking for impaired drivers and will arrest anyone caught driving impaired.
Statistics show that when the public's perceived risk of being arrested for impaired driving increases, they are less likely to drink and drive. It is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher in all 50 states. Yet 1,099 people died in Texas in 2012 in impaired driving crashes in which at least one vehicle driver or motorcycle rider had a BAC of .08 or higher.
"Law enforcement officers are working during this crackdown to save lives and prevent injuries at the hands of impaired drivers. The easiest way to avoid going to jail is to never drink and then drive," said County Extension Agent Andrea Becker.
For information on free alcohol awareness programs available through the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service Watch UR BACprogram in College Station, go to www.watchurbac.tamu.edu or call 979-862-1911.

As the final seconds were ticking down in the first half Thursday night – just about the time the Kansas City Chiefs backups were about to score the game's first touchdown – a scan of the Green Bay Packers' sideline revealed the following:
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers stood with his arms crossed, wearing a baseball cap – not the red, white and blue regalia he'd donned for the Welcome Back Luncheon a day earlier, although he would be wearing it after his post-game shower.
Outside linebacker Clay Matthews stood near his position coach, Kevin Greene, taking copious notes on a thick, white board.
Defensive tackle B.J. Raji sat comfortably on an orange Gatorade cooler near the bench area.
Wide receiver Jordy Nelson listened intently to the coaches on the headset he was wearing.
Wide receiver Randall Cobb strolled about the sideline, wearing a visor and carrying his helmet with his hands clasped behind his back.
Cornerback Tramon Williams, who'd played all of one snap – albeit a memorable one, as he snared an interception on his only play – stood with his young secondary mates, talking.
And the team's top six offensive linemen were split in two groups. At one end of the sideline, center Evan Dietrich-Smith, left guard Josh Sitton, right guard T.J. Lang and swing tackle Marshall Newhouse surveyed the scene, no doubt looking at all the empty seats throughout Arrowhead Stadium. Near the bench area, left tackle David Bahktiari and right tackle Don Barclay appeared to be doing the same.
So why are we telling you all this?
Well, two reasons: One, that's about all the Packers' starters did during Thursday night's preseason-ending 30-8 loss to the Chiefs.
But two, about the same time all of those key players were standing on the sideline, the New York Giants announced this on their team Twitter feed:
The Giants announce that RB Andre Brown has a fractured leg.
The Giants planned on having Brown, who averaged 5.3 yards per carry and scored eight touchdowns last season, share time at running back with David Wilson this year. He went down in the second quarter at New England.
So while the season ticketholders who are forced to pay full price certainly deserve more for their hard-earned money than what amounts to junior varsity football, it's hard to blame any coach – including Packers head man Mike McCarthy and Chiefs boss Andy Reid, who followed the same format – for not wanting to risk anyone if significance in the most meaningless of meaningless preseason games.
"This is really the point that you work towards," McCarthy said after letting offensive coordinator Tom Clements call the plays so he could spend the game observing. "It's a tough 2 1/2 days in front of you (with the final cuts), but it's all about the regular season. Everything that you've started since the day your season has ended is about getting ready for the opening of the regular season. It's all part of your plan, the adjustment in your plan, the process, and we'll be at that point come Monday.
"I've laid out the priorities for our football team. To create opportunities for personnel evaluation is No. 1, quality of play is No. 2 and ultimately winning the football game (is No. 3). I don't think we accomplished any of the last two. We obviously accomplished the first one."
Whether their quality of play will be good enough once the games start to count is hard to predict. The Packers (1-3) face the San Francisco 49ers at Candlestick Park in 10 days, and they'll do so with an offense that scored a not-so-grand total of two preseason touchdowns (both by backup units); a starting quarterback who played only five series and 45 snaps; a reconfigured offensive line that played only one snap together on Thursday night when Newhouse replaced Bakhtiari on the second play of the game; and a defense that heads back to San Francisco intent on erasing 579 from its collective memory bank but limited preseason evidence of improvement.
"You'd have to ask Mike that, but I feel like I'm ready," Rodgers replied when asked if he felt he should've gotten enough preseason work. "I've played a lot of football around here and I did extra conditioning this week to make sure I'm ready for 60 minutes.
"We've had preseasons in the past where we've definitely played more (as starters), but I like our team. I think we'll be ready to go next week."
Chiefs first-year coach Andy Reid took the same approach and faced the same questions as McCarthy about his team's preparedness for its opener against Jacksonville.
"I mixed it up a bunch of different ways, but I felt that they had good work this preseason and just wanted to get a look at this last group and make sure we had a good evaluation," Reid said. "We have some guys that are fairly close and have to make decisions on. So we have to make sure we knock these out."
After the Packers face the 49ers, the defending NFC champions, on Sept. 8, they'll play host to the Washington Redskins, who went 10-6 and won the NFC East last year; play at Cincinnati, which went 10-6 and was an AFC Wild Card entry; and, after their bye week and a home game against Detroit, play at defending Super Bowl-champion Baltimore on Oct. 13. Not exactly an easy start.
"I think we feel ready. I think coach (McCarthy) does a good job of getting the amount of reps for the necessary guys that need it. I think we've gotten plenty. I definitely think we're ready," Sitton said after playing only three snaps. "We're used to playing tough schedules around here. That's been the theme around here for a while. We're used to big games. It seems like every game is a big game. I don't think it's a big deal. It's just the nature of the business."
Rodgers, Matthews, tight end Jermichael Finley all went through warmups, but McCarthy decided to play it safe and sit them. (Wide receiver James Jones did not play, either.)
Rodgers said afterward that it was the plan all along for him not to play. Vince Young started for Rodgers, Mike Neal started for Matthews and D.J. Williams, Matthew Mulligan, Brandon Bostick and Ryan Taylor all got long looks at the muddled tight end position.

I had a feeling this wouldn't be a twilight zone thread.
True PG
Great court vision
Top 3 NBA defender
Unlimited 3pt range
I wish I could seize life by the balls like Chris Duhon.
He carries himself with such testosterone-infused power.
I had a feeling this wouldn't be a twilight zone thread.
At least he has put together a nice string of games.
the guy embarrasses himself out there even when he's has a good game, he blatantly tries to ignore gallo, jealous ones still envy..
I actually don't think Duhon sucks as bad as everyone makes him out to be. Inconsistent? Yes. But he's decent and would be good to keep around next year at the right price as a back-up. We do need an upgrade at the position. But Duhon does know how to be a playmaker which isnt something you can say about anyone else on the team.
Want NYK analysis from a knicks fan's perspective? Visit my site at knickstop.blogspot.com
All of his assists come from Lee forcing the pick and roll on him. Anytime Duhon has the ball Lee will run over to him and make that s*** happen.
Duhon doesn't set anyone else up to score on a regular basis so I don't understand your comment. I watch ALL THE GAMES so i'm very confident in my observation.
Real Talk
Who else is going to run the team for us this season? Tony Douglas isn't ready to man the position yet and Larry Hughes averages 4.3 TO's a game. That number would go up if he took the PG spot full-time.
I'm not saying he's the point guard of the future, i'm saying he's the best option we have at PG. So what if the bulk of his assists come from pick and rolls with Lee, until other teams find a way to stop it then I say keep going with it.
If you noticed he also got much better at decision-making when he drives to the paint. Instead of passing it off to teammates when he gets there he's been laying it up, which is good.

i want to thank chris duhon for a lot of things, and this thread finally will give me the oppurtunity to express my gratitude for one of the best knicks pg's ever
1.) Thank you for being an overrated defensive player, it warms my heart seeing no name players consistently take advantage of you
2.) Thank you for missing more than 3/4 of your shots on a regular basis. really field goal percentage isnt that important anyways
3.) Thank you for being a dumbass on numerous occasions in crunch time, i mean its not like we want to win the game
4.) Thank you for having the reputation as the worst starting pg around the league. I get in debates with ppl on other teams, and once they mention how their pg is better than ours im left speechless, thanks chris duhon.
5.) And last but no least, thank you for ignoring gallo, our best shooter, numerous times to dribble under the basket and then pass to one of our chuckers. its not like gallo is that important for the future of the team anyways right? no need to get him shots
Ahh im in the Christmas mood
also look at him mackin it with the ladies.
much respect

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]
Tibetan Zen

Then the discovery of a sealed cave in Dunhuang, full of manuscripts in various languages dating from the first millennium CE, transformed our understanding of early Zen. This book translates some of the earliest surviving Tibetan Zen manuscripts preserved in Dunhuang. The translations illuminate different aspects of the Zen tradition, with… Read More

New to Anime? NO PROBLEM! QUICK INTRO!
A Funny Anime Clip!
An awesome Anime Music Montage!
<-------------------------Moving on to my profile now below!!---------------------------->
I wouldn't say that I am a die-hard always first in line, Anime kind of person. But i do hold a deep passion for Anime. I find it enormously wonderful to watch so many kinds of Anime without limitation. If I had to say I pretty much like all kinds of Anime theres not really, a kind of Anime that I partically hate so much. I do have plenty I dislike yes, but I have even more that I love!
I'm usually online pretty much everyday since I'm such a fanatic so feel free to talk to me to message me or even just say hi! I love the community here and would love to be friends with anyone who wishes to be one! Have a good recommendation? THEN TELL ME! I'm all ears my friends :) <333333
Right now my two grand Anime goals are to watch over 1,000 different Animes in any form or fashion to the end. and finally my all-time most important Anime goal is also part of my bucket list. To spend an entire year of my life as a human watching Anime. That includes rewatches and new ones. I'll do this everyday though not just because I want to reach that goal but also because of my great passion for Anime.
More about my gamer life I am a former MLG player (retired haha!) I've played a lot of Halo Call of duty and Modern Warefare. I started my career in Halo 3 when a MLG team joined a lobby and I carried my team to victory against them using a sniper, thats when I was first invited to MLG. Of course the first game I played on the team ended in a loss but we won many many games though after that. I allowed myself to go as far as I could but eventually real life events and such made it very hard for me to participate in all of our tournaments and eventually once newer games after Halo 3 came out a few years later I eventually gave up MLG all together. I was one of the best snipers in our entire group as 30% of my overall kills were sniper based. Although I am Overall very conpetitive I do play to have fun and I have my own little group of friends that I play with on a daily basis for fun and what not. Curious about my Halo 3 stats and other things? Heres a link towards my profile showing my matches. Click Here! I miss those old days of Halo 3 and MW2. Oh well on with my profile!
I'am now Including little sections of my bio stating some good animes i've watched that have dramatically effected my life in some way.
First up its CLANNAD and CLANNAD AFTERSTORY!
First off I would just like to express how this is no doubtly the BEST ANIME MANKIND HAS EVER MADE IN ITS WHOLE DANG HISTORY OF ANYTHING WHICH CALLS ITSELF ANIME. IT IS A TRUE INSPIRATION FOR US ALL AND IT WILL GUIDE US INTO THE FUTURE! That is all for that part.....
My All Time favorite Anime is Clannad, as shocking as it may seem. I've only cried a few times that I can remember in my life, and most of those times happened while I watched Clannad. At the time I was fairly new to Anime, and have only of heard of those big brand name titles. (At the time it was Naruto and Bleach, wonder if it still is?). I was told by a friend to try to watch Clannad, he said that it was really amazing. I shrugged it off saying I would watch it but wasn't expecting anything too much. When I watched it I was COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY by the incredible nature of the series.
The drama kept me on the edge of my seat. Clannad was THE FIRST ANIME THAT I CRIED TO! I cried several times and was completely absorbed in the series. After it was finally all done, I felt like a different person, lighthearted, joyful, and felt like I had just reached a enormous point in my life. From that day on I have continued to watch Anime and will continue doing so for a very long time.
<-------------------------Moving on to MIDORI DAYS!!------------------------------------->
Truely a remarkable story, a true inspiration of a classic Anime. This is the Anime that started it all for me and I will never forget it as its one my most favorites. Midori Days is the first Anime that I have ever watched completely through and through, and unlike other Anime's at its time, this one was ACTUALLY GOOD! A young boy wakes up to find that his right hand has been replaced with the body of a young girl, who happens to be madly in love with him. Although the feeling isn't mutual and now they must learn to live a life together while trying not to expose their secret to anyone else along the way they grow closer together and their feelings eventually reach each other as they discover what true love really means. Full of Action, Comedy, Romance, and other things...... *wink* this Anime is literally something that anyone can enjoy.
Once again...... THANK-YOU MIDORI DAYS! YOU HAVE SHOWN ME THE LIGHT INTO A TRUELY BEAUTIFUL WORLD OF ANIME!
I bet you didn't know that the same people who made my favorite anime Clannad are also the same people who made Angel Beats! Yes of course I didn't see the whole part of not being able to die and the characters constantly getting killed. The Characters themselfs though are amazing! I love their personallities and the way they perceve the world and its going ons! (More like a cruel comedic side).
but what hit me the most was the ending....... NO SPOILERS HERE! I will say though that I stayed up to almost 1 on a school night finishing the heartstopping last episode. Just like Clannad, it will throw your heart around very strongly the feeling that you get from emerssing yourself as the main characters KYAAA!!!!!! *cough* excuse me. Like I said earlier if you loved clannad you will love Angel Beats! Just as much, if not even more!
The Music from this Anime is also extremely HIGH QUALITY for an Anime who's main storyline doesn't mainly involve music and this band is at the heart of it all.
Thats all for now? Maybe! HAHA! Closing statements below.....
Nothing gets my evil blood boiling like this video right here...
<------------------------------WARNING DOES CONTAIN LANGUAGE DON'T WATCH IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!! (not my fault if you do..)--------------------->
<--------------------***Anime Ratings***-------------------->
PLEASE NOTE!!! These ratings are completely on how I personally felt towards the Anime and sometimes the ratings are from a Critic's standpoint "extremely wrong" These ratings are not meant to be critical reviews they are just symbols of how "I personally felt about the Anime" My written "reviews" however are as critical as I can get them so if you want to see my view on an Anime from a good reviewers standpoint look there if I don't have one on it feel free to ask and I'll try my best to review it. Once again RATINGS ARE NOT REVIEWS! (At least not on my profile).
*Ahem* As we all know since the beginning of time (being when the first Anime was aired for the first time). We have come to an understanding that in order to help our compainions find the Animes which are non-crappy and non-failedstorylineandcharacterdevelopment. We have created the "Rating System" which helps us show which Anime's are popular and well adored and which ones are isolated and tbagged constantly by other anime's. Over time these systems have gotten better and more expansive, and at this time I would like to announce MY Rating system, (From me to you!) for all of you which to enjoy and learn from. -Cheers!-
5 Stars (Rare) - OH MY GOD! Can such a thing happen? Can an Anime be so freaken amazing that it literally causes my VERY LIFE TO CHANGE?? Yes its true! Any Anime that I rate with this is something that you HAVE TO SEE! No Doubtly these are some of THE BEST Animes that you will ever watch check it out!
4.5 Stars (Common) - Aw snap, these are extremely good material that will definately make you wana sing "Thank God for Anime!" all the time as you watch them. While they may not be "the best" they are really far better "than the rest" Any Anime that I give this rating is a definate WINNER and is a respectable, good-plot, truely awesome and nice Anime that you should watch. These are the guys that were really good, but just not enough to make a serious impact on my life.
4 Stars (MOST Common) - Here they come, while they may be the most common ones out of the bunch, don't mistake them for just your average Anime. Anything in this sense had something or someone stand out to the point of making it a truely awesome Anime to watch! That or the story line/Character Development was really good. I give most decent and good Anime's this kind of title, and I can say that they are worth the time to try to watch them!
3.5 Stars (Common) - Ohh..... Didn't quite make it buddy, you put a lot of effort into your world but didn't quite make it. These Anime's are not really bad, but they are not really good in anyway. You could say this is dopey "Mr. Average" with no exceptional plot-line or story. They characters were probably a tad bit dull and lacked development. Still, I think that most of these Anime's are ones worth watching.
3 Stars (Rare) - Hmm... Nothing to see here folks just "Mr Below Average" Strolling through the park. I don't know how much effort went into these but they just were a bit.... Not good. Most of these are "bad" but not like REALLY bad.... just bad... Even more than the last one, I recommend that you think twice about watching this Anime, could leave you in a bad mood! :(
2.5 Stars (Very Rare) - Ok now we getting pretty low here see? These are NOT GOOD Animes that usually leave you with an upset stomach and a bad headache. Not recommended for watching, as a matter of fact DON'T WATCH IT! these are poor Anime's Lacking quality and everything else a good Anime needs and wants. Sort of like a sick puppy with rabbies.
2 Stars (Rare) - EW! Oh my god what is that thing! Are you sure this is an Anime? I think we are starting to push the limits here. Aside from the grossly freaked out plot and story, I don't think those guys can actually be classified as characters. Heck like we even learn anything about them within the Anime itself. Don't watch these bottom line you will regret it.
1.5 Stars (Very Rare) - WHAT THE HELL! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING ME!! This deformed ugly son of a bad Anime is one of THE WORST you can possibly find. A story thats nothing more than the snot filled tissue that you threw away a few minutes ago. You watch this and think "Well, that was an enormous waste of my life and valuable time now I have Cancer." (I only Keed the Cancer people!) and you find yourself falling further and further down the pithole of dispair and sorrow. You have to be a true warrior or a complete idiot to watch this kind of Anime.
1 Star (MOST Rare) - *hangs self* Do I really have to say it? Ok.... I will, think of this as 2girls1cup Disgusting and completely Destructive of any features which give it it's *Anime* Genre. Rather than loosing your sanity on this one, I feel like you might just wana kill yourself instead. Lets not do that ok? So don't watch these Animes please!
0.5 Stars (Very Rare) - You've reached it, a pit of undieing cruelity that would undoubtly cause any and every man who treads the path to weep in tears. Hell can't even compare to the burning sensation you feel while your brains melt from the awfully put together Junk story-line that compels all humans to wage wars and kill small puppies and babies. This IS THE WORST OF THE WORST, truely no pit of hell could even compare. I will straight out say this, DO NOT WATCH THIS YOU WILL SUFFER UNECESSARY LOSSES TO YOUR TIME AND YOUR LIFE, NOT TO MENTION YOUR SANITY!
(Note that these are all just my OPINIONS they are not in anyway completely true. However this is my profile thus, by being here you wana know more about me thus wanting to know more about my views on certain Anime. So there you have it!)
That is all for the "Rating System" Enjoy the last portion of this extremely long profile! <3
My most famous quotes in life.
1. "..."
2. "There is no such thing as luck, just skill and good timing."
3. "Hard work and effort will always overcome natural talent and skill."
4. "If you act smart people will expect great things of you and will put all the heavy responsibilities and duties on you. If you act dumb however people will not expect much out of you and will be very hesitant to make you do things for them. I act dumb so I don't have to do many things, but secretly I'm incredibly smart. Oh yeah don't mention that to anyone."
5. "If its a choice between burning you crispy or not I WANT IT EXTRA CRISPY!!!"
6. "Never argue with an idiot, because they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."
7. "Life logic!"
8. "Game logic!"
10. "I do what I do best, which is doing nothing most of the time."
*THE TRIPLE H RULE!* (that I made)
Honesty - Learn to be true to others and yourself.
Humility - Learn to know that bragging is not a way to exhibit one's strengths.
Honor - Learn to understand the feelings and intentions of other people and respect them for their way of life and how they choose to live it.
Together they create one of the Greatest Animes of all time.

Hey there , I loved your profile description! I can see you put big effort there.

Well constructed. Looks great. The installation hardware and method is not great. Very exacting, not easy to measure and requires holes through the fabric. Once brackets in place, very easy to install and remove for cleaning.View this product

sites do NOT confirm anything. A player confirms. Until Williams says I declare myself eligible for the 2005 nba draft...then hes not confirmed at all.
true the jay thing was different, but it could happen to anyone. and as this kid has potential you shouldnt put THAT much faith in him. nothing is 99.9% true unless were speaking of your overhyping him. haha yes he can be a great player, but Olowokandi could have been a great player. you just dont know until they make it to the nba. and play an nba style game.
whats wrong with Jermaine O'Neal? Oh im sorry you said it would be a disappointment if he was as good as O'Neal...then you said hes going to be a Jermaine O'Neal type...sorry i was confused...wait i still am John Kerry haha
alright i dont care passionately about this topic and im just joking around. but still dont put so much faith in one player. anything can happen and ANYONE can be a bust.
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
I said if he was a bust he would be like a Jermaine O'neal-That's how good he is.
Its time for change!!!!!!!!
I doubt a bust will be as good as Jermaine O'Neal. That's going a little overboard.
"One Team, One New York"
Anymore clips of Petro? That is the ONLY one I keep seeing of him, no matter anywhere I look on the web.
Anyway, I heard he has an attitude problem at times, but he is also motivated and hopefully to the extent to work with Aguirre. Imagine what Aguirre can do to a strong 7 footer with athleticism. I even heard Petrick Ewing MIGHT come to the Knicks if they resign Herb, so if we get Ewing this guy can devlop into something special. For him to average 15ppg 10rpg 2.5bpg is definitely not out of the question. The sky's the limit for him!
That's asking a lot for a rookie, but it's possible. I see Marvin coming out if they win it all this year. Otherwise, I see him going back this year. I want Petro this year. I want the win tonight, but I want a lottery pick after that. The best we can possibly get.
This is what I said with Marvin. Although I think he is coming back no matter what.Originally Posted by gknick11
"One Team, One New York"
I meant in the near future, like in his 3rd or 4th year. The guy is only 18 or 19, I understand how hard it is for him to put up big numbers as a rookie. His first year he might average 7 points 7 rebounds and a block. I know we are getting this guy because of potential too.Originally Posted by gknick11
Anyone interested in Vladimir Veremeenko? He's another European, from Russia. He's the leader there, he can shoot and pass. He's only 235 and is 6'11, but that can be dealt with. He doesn't really have consistent 3 point range yet, but his midrange jumper is on point. Some comparisons are a poor man's Dirk! That's not a bad thing at all.
just some confirmations and speculations towards the draft...
Chris Taft WILL declare that he indeed will be in this years draft after the NCAA finals ends...
Andrew Bogut WILL declare that aswell...
Marvin Williams on the other hand stated "Forward Marvin Williams' NBA draft prospects are the subject of considerable speculation, but he said Saturday he is leaning toward returning for his sophomore season.
He said he loves college and playing for Roy Williams at North Carolina. "I will sit down and talk to coach and see what's best for me," Marvin Williams said. "If I have to (go to the NBA) next year, if that's what's best for my family, then that's what I have to do. But I do enjoy being here."
thanks to the Charlotte Observer for that news...
so Bogut, Taft in...
Williams not?
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
PLEEEEEASE everyone here, let's stay away from Chris Taft. He seems like the power forward version of Tim Thomas.
as of late Tim Thomas has been amazing?? we dont want a tall guy, whos athletic and has range??
i like your picks but i think one change would be bj elder instead of allan hendersonOriginally Posted by gknick11
I don't think Houston is gonna have a high enough 2nd round pick for us to draft BJ Elder. I think he's gonna get drafted earlier than where they'd pick. That's why I said Anderson. He's got size, some we lack in the backcourt. Even though Ariza and Tim Thomas have been playing the 2 sparingly, they aren't shooting guards. I think Anderson could be a big two in the NBA.
Here are a couple pages worth checking out on Petro, for those of you that would like more info on the kid:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
I'd say he's worth it. The article is a little outdated, but I didn't really try to look for anything updated. It just looked the most interesting. I say Petro 'cause he's the type of player Isiah would like and 'cause Martynas will be gone by the time we draft him. It's funny what the Euro clubs will do to protect their young players. Too bad it doesn't work.
That's right! You Suckas betta find somewhere to run, 'cause it's me, Booker T.! Not only am I the five-time dubya-cee-dubya champion, but I got a sword, too! Now can you dig THAT...

By Kevin Wilson: Freedom New Mexico
Portales and Tucumcari are hosting two of 21 statewide meetings
scheduled as the Interstate Stream Commission looks for public comments
on how the state balances its future water needs with its supply.
The state is updating 16 regional and separate water plans, merging them into one for New Mexico.
The stream commission meetings are 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. May 5 in
Portales at the Memorial Building and May 6 at the Tucumcari Convention
The state water plan, first introduced in 2003, is updated by law every five years.
Maureen Haney, public relations specialist for the Office of the
State Engineer and the ISC, said the updating process started in 2008.
Haney said four issues the meetings will focus on are:
• Population changes for regions across New Mexico
• Climate variability (rain, drought, etc.)
• Infrastructure needs
• Conservation efforts
Eastern New Mexico belongs to the Northeast Region, which includes
Union, Harding, Quay, Curry and Roosevelt counties. The regional water
plan notes drought vulnerability, economic development needs, border
issues with Texas and infrastructure needs.
"The biggest dilemma is (residents) function on 75 percent
groundwater and 25 percent surface water," said Gretel Fogelstad, a
planner for the Northeast Region since last 2008. "The hydrology says
there is a significant gap between supply and demand."
One change that will be incorporated in the plan will be the Ute Water Project, authorized last week by President Barack Obama.
The pipeline, when completed, would pump water from the Ute
Reservoir in Quay County to eight entities making up the Eastern New
Mexico Rural Water Authority.
Water at the reservoir is reserved by authority members and other communities studying alternate delivery methods.
"It's a great thing," Fogelstad said. "It will provide an alternate
water supply for industrial and municipal. In addition to that, it's a
high priority for that whole region to work on water conservation."
Haney said one difficulty in building a statewide comprehensive water plan is New Mexico's mix of landscapes.
New Mexico has vegetation that ranges from desert to forest to plains.
"That's why it's important," Haney said, "for each region to have
its plan … but it's a difficult process for exactly that reason."

One of Double Fine's Amnesia Fortnight 2012 projects, Spacebase DF-9, is being built up into a full-fledged game with the help of Steam's Early Access program. Originally available solely to Amnesia Fortnight Humble Bundle contributors or the subsequent digital compilation of the Amnesia Fortnight prototypes, the expanded edition of Spacebase DF-9 is growing to include many more features and additional content. In command of three beings at the start of the game, players must expand their station while dealing with adversity from the cold depths of outer space.
Early alpha access to Spacebase DF-9 costs $25 for a Steam code, with additional tiers of support offering additional benefits up through a $250 "Extradimensional Entity" pack. This bundle entitles the buyer to the game, soundtrack and original prototype version of the game in addition to digital wallpapers, Steam codes for Psychonauts, Costume Quest, and Stacking. Extradimensional Entities also get their name in the credits and on the base citizen name list along with a high-quality poster and signed art print from the game. Lower tiers receive different combinations of some of these benefits as well.
An official wiki for Spacebase DF-9 covers much of the existing in-game content and lore and will see continuous updates as the game develops and evolves. DF-9 project lead JP LeBreton is a more recent hire by Double Fine, having left 2K Games in 2011 to join the San Francisco developer. LeBreton has worked on the first two BioShock games as well as the recent indie darling Gone Home and the forthcoming Double Fine adventure epic, Broken Age.

If you're going to replace Todd Helton at first base in Colorado while wearing Larry Walker's old number, you better have a solid resume.
The Rockies are convinced four-time All-Star and former American League MVP Justin Morneau is the answer as they begin the post-Helton era.
Morneau signed a two-year, $12.5 million free-agent deal with the Rockies in December. He's one of several position players to report early to spring training in Arizona.
Manager Walt Weiss thinks Morneau's experience as a four-time All-Star and former American League MVP with Minnesota will mean "maybe that ghost won't be so overwhelming" as he replaces the retired Helton.

A few weeks ago we were sent a Hoodiepet for our oldest son. It arrived on just the perfect day, it was cold and rainy out , so he was very, very eager to wear it.
I love the fit of this sweater on my boy, and he loves the animal on the front of it. He loves that he can pull it off and it becomes a toy (which for a 4 yr old is so much more fun than a piece of clothing), but then its so easy for him to stick back on and take the toy along with him. :)
Another great feature that we both just really love are the little thumb holes in the sleeves.
Such a cute feature and a great way to help keep his hands warm in those cooler months. :) The material on this sweater is just so soft that I had wondered if it would be as nice after washing. So I threw it in the wash , it came out soaking wet! I needed to give it an extra spin cycle before throwing it into the dryer, but other than that it was great. It came out of the dryer just as nice as it was when it went into the washer.
We are definite fans of HoodiePet and I am so excited that one of you will be able to win one of these of your own. :) Just fill out the form below! And remember if you don't win you can purchase these directly from the website for just $29,99 (the printed hoodies are $32,99). You can also purchase extra pets for your kids to share :) I will leave this giveaway open until Friday May 4th. Good Luck!!

I have a few questions. My son is struggling to gain weight. First he had tongue tie and then when we got that fixed I flipped into oversupply. Currently I pump the foremilk before he eats. This has helped. But I do pump to give him bottles every third feeding (my husband thinks I am starving him)and I feel like this is actually hindering our progress.
1st question, is pumping encouraging the over supply? It seems to be getting worse.
2nd question, if I block feed is this something I need to do until the supply levels off or will I just need to plan on continuing this until he weans? How will I know if my supply has leveled off?
3rd question, my son is now 14 weeks, should I start block feeding at 3 hours and work my way up? He goes 2-3 hours between feedings during the day but clusterfeeds in the morning and night. Also, should I continue to pump the foremilk every feeding?

Two women in Arizona are accused of trying to smuggle drugs across the border by wrapping large packages of marijuana around their waists.
The 61-year-old Douglas woman and a 50-year-old Mexican national were searched as they tried to pass through the port of entry in Douglas late last week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers told Phoenix TV station KPHO.
Officers said they found two packages of marijuana wrapped around each woman's waist.
The packages weighed about 3 pounds each and had a combined value of $2,860, according to police.
The pair was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations, KPHO reported.

The athlete who rose to fame in London last summer as the first amputee runner in the Olympics has reportedly been arrested by South African police after his girlfriend was shot and killed in his home. NBC's Rohit Kachroo reports and NBC sports analyst Ato Boldon talks about the case, calling it an "absolute shock."
Olympic and Paralympic star Oscar Pistorius was charged with murder Thursday after his girlfriend was shot dead at his South African home.
South African Police spokeswoman Denise Beukes said that Pistorius, 26, and the victim were the only people present when the shooting took place. The woman had been shot at least twice, police said.
Pistorius will appear for a court hearing on Friday at 9am local time, the South African prosecutor's office confirmed.
Numerous media outlets reported that the sprinter -- who is nicknamed "Blade Runner" because he races wearing carbon fiber prosthetic blades -- may have mistaken the woman for an intruder.
Beukes would not confirm the victim's identity, but said investigators were "very surprised" to hear media reports that the shooting was possibly a case of mistaken identity.
A publicist for Reeva Steenkamp, a model whom Pistorius was dating, confirmed to NBC's TODAY that her client was dead. She described the incident as a "huge loss for everyone and too shocking for words."

Oscar Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp attend an award ceremony in Johannesburg, South Africa, on November 4.
Beukes said there were no signs of forced entry to the home and said that police would oppose any application Pistorius might make to be released on bail.
Beukes said there had been reports about previous problems at Pistorius' home that were "allegations of a domestic nature." When a reporter asked if she meant domestic violence, she nodded and said yes.
"There are witnesses and we have interviewed them," she added. "We're talking about neighbors and people who heard things earlier in the evening and when the shooting took place."
The Associated Press reported that a 9mm handgun had been found at his home in the luxurious Silver Woods gated community.

Sarit Tomlinson, who is Steenkamp's publicist, told Britains' Sky News that the the pair had been together for a couple months.
"She was a rising star ... a very bright young girl," Tomlinson said. She noted that "no one knows what happened" but said "we are in communication with the people on the scene."
The Silver Woods Country Estate released a statement on its website early Thursday: "We are deeply saddened by the tragic circumstances that occurred today at Silver Woods. Our sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to Reeva Steenkamp's family and friends."
Steenkamp, a 30-year-old law school graduate, gushed about Valentine's Day on Twitter Wednesday, posting "What do you have up your sleeve for your love tomorrow???" and "It should be a day of love for everyone."

Pistorius was born without a fibula in both legs and battled for years to be allowed to compete against able-bodied athletes.
'National hero'
He was the first double amputee to run in the Olympics. He qualified for the 400-meter semi-finals and 4 x 400-meter final at the London 2012 Summer Games.
His website highlighted that Pistorius ran in 11 races during the London 2012 Olympics and Paralymics and returned home with "two Paralympic gold medals, Paralympic silver, two world records, a Paralympic record, an Olympic individual semi-final and an Olympic final."
Pistorius, a double amputee born without fibulas in his legs, has trained hard to participate in the Olympics despite having to wear prosthetic legs. NBC's Mary Carillo reports.
He earned headlines after qualifying for the 2011 world championships in Daegu, South Korea, and is widely considered the world's most famous disabled athelete.
Speaking to Sky News, South African journalist Kribani Pillay described Pistorius as a "national hero and national icon."
Violent crime is major issue in South Africa, and many homeowners own guns.
In a January 2012 New York Times article, Pistorius described his reaction to a security alarm going off in his home:
He mentioned that a security alarm in the house had gone off the previous night, and he had grabbed his gun and tiptoed downstairs. (It turned out to be nothing.)
I asked what kind of gun he owned ... He fetched his 9-millimeter handgun and two boxes of ammunition. We got back in the car and drove to a nearby firing range, where he instructed me on proper technique. Pistorius was a good coach. ... I asked him how often he came to the range. "Just sometimes when I can't sleep," he said.
The U.S. State Department Bureau of Diplomatic Security warns of the danger of Pretoria and other South African cities: "On a rating scale of low, medium, high, and critical, Pretoria, Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town are rated 'critical' for crime."
Citing South African Police Service 2011 crime statistics, the agency pointed out home invasion as a particularly violent crime that occurs "at an alarmingly high rate."
In Gauteng Province, which includes Pretoria and Johannesburg, there were 7,039 home invasions reported in 2011, according South African police statistics.
Artist Melinda Bam of Pretoria, who was Miss South Africa 2011, expressed her sadness on Twitter and mentioned "how unsafe most South Africans feel because of crime."

South Africa's Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee declined to discuss the shooting.
"SASCOC ... knows no more than what is in the public domain, which is there has been an alleged fatal shooting on the basis of a mistaken identity and an apparent assumption of a burglary," it said. "The organization is in no position to comment on the incident other than to say our deepest sympathy and condolences have been expressed to the families of all concerned."
Oscar Pistorius may soon make history as the first double amputee to compete in the Olympics. The South African sprinter's emergence as one of the world's fastest runners has generated controversy over whether his carbon fiber prosthetic legs give him an unfair advantage, something he vehemently denies. NBC Sports' Mary Carillo reports.
NBC News' Matthew DeLuca and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Size matters: the block trade is coming back
For those who measure their investment horizon in years, the equities market, geared towards millisecond trading, is not a friendly place.
The recent allegations that high-frequency trading exploits longer-term investors underline that today's market structure is riddled with complexity and unsuited for trading large blocks of stock.
Banks and exchanges are beginning to realise that there is an opportunity in expanding the options for such business. Their efforts have been spurred by plans, including in the second version of the EU Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, to restrict some types of dark trading.
Adrian Fitzpatrick, head of investment dealing at Kames Capital, an asset manager based in Edinburgh, said: "The advent of technology and need for speed has meant that institutions can no longer trade without getting picked off by high-frequency trading firms. Brokers are realising that they can play a role in facilitating larger trades than those available on exchanges and other venues currently."
The trading of large blocks of stock became increasingly difficult after the introduction of Mifid in 2007, when the proliferation of electronic trading that split equities orders across multiple European venues greatly accelerated.
As trades became smaller and speed increased, one solution, for investors who still wanted to trade at larger scale, came in the expansion of dark pools.
Dark pools let firms trade equities without revealing information beforehand, the idea being for market participants to place large orders in them and wait for a match. At the time, the venues were a perfect counterweight to the fast-paced trading that characterised public, or "displayed", markets.
Arjun Singh-Muchelle, senior adviser of regulatory affairs (institutional and capital markets) at the Investment Management Association, said: "The importance of investors being able to trade blocks in institutional liquidity pools cannot be over-estimated. These pools also allow investors to reduce the market impact of their trade and therefore the associated transaction and execution costs which benefits the end-client."
But as this market evolved, trading on dark pools also become increasingly fragmented and more open to high-frequency traders.
Mark Goodman, head of quantitative electronic services for Europe at Societe Generale, said: "Dark pools were originally viewed as a way to trade in larger size as we moved into a more electronic market structure. However, this has not quite occurred as planned. Market participants have split their orders into smaller pieces because of the lack of confidence they have over the liquidity in some dark pools."
However, the need for ways to trade in size did not go away.
After years of declining trade sizes, brokers including Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Societe Generale and trading venues including the London Stock Exchange and the LSE's alternative market Turquoise are among the firms that are looking for ways to bring back the block.
The opportunity is largely driven by new regulation of dark pools under the revision of Mifid.
EU regulators fear that if too much activity moves from "lit" exchanges on to dark pools, price formation will no longer function properly on the lit exchanges. To prevent this, Mifid II will impose limits on the proportion of trading in a stock on any one venue and in aggregate on all venues in Europe.
The caps, however, appear designed to apply only to smaller trades on dark pools. Trades big enough to qualify as blocks will face no cap. How big is a block? Mifid I defined four sizes, depending on liquidity: the largest is for stocks with an average daily turnover of more than €50 million, where a block is a trade of €500,000 or more.
This suggests that regulators see the value in using dark pools for trades above a certain size, leading the industry to look for new solutions.
The LSE's alternative market Turquoise is attempting to grow a dark pool service called "Uncross" that matches buyers and sellers through randomised auctions and matches orders on a size priority.
The aim is to reward those trading in the largest size, which James Baugh, head of sales for London Stock Exchange Capital Markets and Turquoise, acknowledged was a "back-to-basics" approach to dark trading by the exchange operator.
Turquoise is currently consulting market participants about a Block Discovery service that will alert members to potential large trades in the system.
Baugh said: "We can see where the dark pool debate is going from a regulatory perspective. If large trades are exempt from the Mifid II dark pool caps, we need to look at potential solutions. Uncross has gone some way to addressing this, but we are looking for ways to take it to the next level."
In the past month, BAML has been consulting clients about bringing its US block trading service to Europe. The service lets investors leave a conditional block order in a dark pool, while simultaneously trading the same order as they would normally, through smaller executions.
If a match for the block order is found through BAML's sales trading, electronic, exchange-traded fund and equity derivatives desks, the smaller trades are cancelled and the block trade is automatically updated and completed.
Larger size
The US version of the service has an average traded size of $400,000, 50 times larger than the $8,000 found in BAML's normal crossing platform.
Natan Tiefenbrun, managing director in European execution services at BAML, said: "In our recent consultation, clients told us that an ideal electronic block solution would bring together liquidity across our high touch, portfolio and electronic channels. The key is doing that in a manner that all parties can trust."
Meanwhile, SocGen has launched a service that lets clients choose a list of firms they want to trade with. The renewed focus on solving Europe's block-trading problem at long last redresses the balance for long-only, institutional trading firms.
Singh-Muchelle at the IMA added: "As order sizes and depth across lit exchanges have dramatically declined in recent years, the choice to trade blocks in these pools has become – and will remain – increasingly important. These pools provide investors with easier access to similar market participants without the need of taking onerous precautions to defend against high-frequency trades and other short-term investors."
Putting the large order back on the block
First of all, who wants to trade a "block" and why?
Long-term investors, such as asset managers investing on behalf of pension funds. Shifting a large amount of stock in one trade is particularly useful if the order could be considered sensitive.
Suppose an asset manager has a large buy order in a thinly traded name. If it is split across five brokers – who split it further and trade it across myriad EU trading venues – a lot of information about the trade has gone out to a lot of market participants. No big surprise if the price rises – and the ultimate loser is the pension fund.
On a market geared to large anonymous trades, the order would be less exposed and there would be less risk that it will shift the price.
So there must be markets like that at the moment?
Some platforms are geared towards blocks, but not many. They include Liquidnet, set up in 2002 in Europe, and ITG Posit – but those two combined accounted for only 1.18% of trading in European stocks last month, according to data from Thomson Reuters.
I thought big trades would be big business?
They would be if they happened more often. The trouble is that when someone has a big order, there isn't always someone else out there ready to take the trade.
Is that not the purpose of dark pools?
Sure, but remember – there just aren't enough big trades. So dark pool operators let in HFTs to boost volume, and, as dark pools proliferated, fund managers felt they had to hit every dark pool in case they were missing a good price. Result: exactly the fragmentation the managers wanted to avoid.
So any time there is a big order, you just need a way to alert traders who would be interested?
That is the kind of thing that Turquoise hopes to do with the block discovery service. Not so simple, though: it must be careful about the risk of causing market impact by revealing too much information. Turquoise is currently talking to its members on how to let them know about potential block opportunities, while being shrewd with the information it shares.

That "distressed baby" who Tim Armstrong blamed for benefit cuts? She's my daughter.
Late last week, Tim Armstrong, the chief executive officer of AOL, landed himself in a media firestorm when he held a town hall with employees to explain why he was paring their retirement benefits. After initially blaming Obamacare for driving up the company's health care costs, he pointed the finger at an unlikely target: babies.
Specifically, my baby.
"Two things that happened in 2012," Armstrong said. "We had two AOL-ers that had distressed babies that were born that we paid a million dollars each to make sure those babies were OK in general. And those are the things that add up into our benefits cost. So when we had the final decision about what benefits to cut because of the increased healthcare costs, we made the decision, and I made the decision, to basically change the 401(k) plan."
Within hours, that quote was all over the Internet. On Friday, Armstrong's logic was the subject of lengthy discussions on CNN, MSNBC, and other outlets. Mothers' advocates scolded him for gross insensitivity. Lawyers debated whether he had violated his employees' privacy. Health care experts noted that his accounting of these "million-dollar babies" seemed, at best, fuzzy.
Plenty of smart, witty people took to Twitter to express their outrage—or mock outrage. The phrase "distressed babies" became practically an inside joke, as in, "How many distressed babies does AOL pay this guy?" A few AOL employees made cracks like this: "I swear I didn't have any babies in 2012. Don't hate me for messing up your 401(k)."

great post. cant argue with anything there.
i wonder how this season will end? perhaps a breaking news update showing Jamal Crawford and Isiah caught in a mens toilet?
No, cause he'll be fired by then
I don't know
We are 54 games into the regular season, and the Knicks are 16-38.
Let's take a look at all the events that have led us to such a great season.
Isiah Thomas has a sexual harrassment lawsuit against him, and
Anucha Brown ends up embarrassing him and winning her case. She
wins the battle and the war, as she was granted 11 million dollars.
2007-2008 pre-season
-Isiah Thomas puts Allan Houston on his 18 man roster, and let's him try out for the team.
After seeing how crappy the Knicks are, Allan Houston decided he should stay in retirement, and not be a part of this JV High School basketball team.
Next, Knicks face Macabi Elite Tel Aviv. Vonteego Cummings has a message for the Knicks, but the Knicks are up to the challenge and win by 25.
-Later on, Knicks get embarrased by Celtics and lose by 40 points in Boston. Knicks get revenge and bust their ass at the Garden, though.
-Despite all the controversy with Anucha Brown and ass whoppin that the Knicks recieved from the Celtics, the Knicks finish preseason with an above .500 4-3 record.
-Next, the Knicks get ****y and have commercials where loyal Knick fans talk about how great the Knicks are gonna be, even though everyone knows the Knicks suck.One person says the Knicks have a formidable line up with
Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph and David Lee.Other Knick fans have rituals while cheering for their team.
2007-2008 Regular season begins
Knicks lose season opener to Cavs 106-110, however, Z-Bo and E-City each finish with impressive numbers;
Randolph 21 points 14 rebounds(5 off)
3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block
Curry 18 points, 7 rebounds, 1 block,1 to
Based on the season opener, Curry and Randolph sure look formidable.
After losing the season opener, Knicks win two in a row for a .667 record, a 2-1 start, and a playoff spot.
After the Knicks lose to the Miami Heat, the Knicks are 2-3, so Isiah decides it's time to make Marbury a scapegoat and he benches him.
Marbury, you suck. I'm gonna have to bench you. We will be so much more better with you on the bench.
F*ck you, Isiah. I'm going to New York.
The Knicks would go on to lose 8 in a row, and drop to 2-9. Then, the Knicks would lose to Boston by 45, on national television.
Jamal Crawford helps us son the New Jersey Nets, averaging over 30 ppg against the Nets. Knicks are now 3-0 against New Jersey, thanks to Crawford.However, the Knicks finish the month of December with just 3 wins, and the Knicks are 8-21, by the end of 2007.
(Property of Jamal Crawford)
I own you!
New Year's resolution
Son, I'm going to give you the keys to the franchise.
-Isiah let's Jamal become our franchise player, even though Crawford never plays defense and only plays well offensively, one out of 5 games.
Later in January, Knicks go on a 3 game winning streak(5 out of 7 overall)
and all of a sudden, people start to think the Knicks are better without Marbury. The Knicks' current 16-38 record proves otherwise, though.
The Knicks looked like they would never lose by 40 points again, this season, after competing in every game in January and the first half of February. SURPRISE! Knicks lose by 40 to the 76ers!
Trade Deadline
Isiah says Jamal is "untouchable" and that he will not trade him, Nate Robinson, or David Lee. It turns out Isiah trades nobody, and he has fallen into the rapture of love with this Knick team.
Current record: 16-38
Great SEASON!

oh even better, Eddy Curry drooling on the KFC window watching those 2 eating and jerking off with his other hand
Stern comes in (1st pick in the draft)
[Stern]With the first pick in the 2008 draft the Seattle Supersonics select Michael Beasley from Kansas State.
Stern comes in (2nd pick in the draft)*NYK*
[Stern] We have a trade,,, 30 second silence in the theater.... The Knicks trade 2nd draft 1st round pick rights, Zach Randolph, and Malik Rose to Indiana for Jermaine O'Neal....
I think most of us here would just be really upset, or some Knick fans would simply murder Isiah Thomas..
All funny posts!!! Definitely a horrific season, no doubt. If he traded our draft pick, that would be the end of us. I would only trade it if a miracle were to happen and Lebron demands a trade. Give them the players they want plus the draft pick. What a tough road that lays ahead. So many teams are so good and we are just mediocre, tough to swallow these times.
Very creative thread ABCD, im likin this. Its a tragic story to read about, the events that have happened with the Knicks. They re-define rock bottom week by week; in other words, things continue to get worse with time. Co-sign all the funny posts in this thread. I think Knicks126 called it, Isiah gonna trade the 1st round pick during the draft.
Yeah thanks man, That right there would be considered the Knicks rock bottom in franchise History, but now if we talk about the draft DeAndre Jordon is still one of my favorites, I just think that he will declare for the 09 draft not the 08 draft. Hibbert is expierenced, and he is a Georgetown product. Will Knicks draft another player from Georgetown?? Knicks did try Sweetney Georgetown product it didn't work out to well....
Georgetown Drafted Players
Jeff Green
Allen Iverson
Alonzo Mourning
Dikembe Mutombo
Patrick Ewing
Theres more, but I forgot.
Sweetney> Curry as far as effort is concerned.
Like father, like son
that's the word which sums up the knicks 2007-2008 season.
It really does.There's only 27 games left in the season, and the Knicks have under 20 wins.
they'll get 23-the same number or wins larry brown got outta this team. Onyl Larry Brown had somewhat of an excuse. He didnt adapt to these players. Isiah has NO excuse. Last year he showed that he CAN do some winning with this team.
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
