The Bulls just buttfucked the 76ers and all I could wonder at the end of the game is this: Why do Bulls fans go so batshit crazy for Brian Scalabrine?

I know he's terrible, and I know that Boston did the same thing for his last year (and this year when the Bulls were in Boston).  But he played there for two years before they got really good and they probably built up some genuine affection for a guy who looks goofy and plays hard.  Bulls fans have watched him for three months and he's played like 70 minutes.  There's no genuine emotion there- they're just making fun of him. 

He's not a goddamn walk-on or some retard manager, he's a 9 YEAR VETERAN.  NO ONE CHEERS LIKE THAT WHEN KURT THOMAS COMES INTO GAMES OR LINDSAY HUNTER I DON'T FUCKING GET IT AND IF I WERE BRIAN SCALABRINE I WOULD BE BUTTHURT AS SHIT.

Carlos Boozer disagrees with you:

Quote"We want to be able get Scal in at the end of every game like that," said Boozer.

Notice that Boozer clearly states he wants Scalabrine to play at the end of games.

I'm looking at it from retard manager's point of view- it's embarrasing for your own teammates to single you out as the garbage time guy.  If his former USC teammate and fellow 2001 2nd rounder Jeff Trepagnier came off in the same situation, fans don't orgasm when he misses an open three pointer.  As awful as he is and as weird as he looks, Scal's not a mascot and it irks me (more than it should) that he's getting patronized like that.

... I apparently did not know how to pronounce 'larynx" until Saturday night.

It's posts like this that make this my favorite thread on this message board.

How did larynx come up in conversation?

It was on a date. Doesnt (or "didn't" in your case) the larynx come up in all date conversations?

I do this all the time.   Not mispronounce words, but pretend that I do just so I can casually drop into conversation THAT I WAS ON A DATE.

You guys talking about moving the Cubs to the suburbs should be shot in the face with a ball of your own shit. Even if you're joking, I don't care.

I actually wouldn't give two shits if they tore down Wrigley. It's not like there's a history of winning baseball there or something.

I mean, they tore down Yankee Stadium, for fucks sake.

I think they should tear it down and rebuild it, leaving only the scoreboard intact. But moving it out of town is not an option. People will not travel from around the midwest or the nation at large to visit Glen or whatever the fuck. They might do it once, say, "Meh." and never ever come back. Which might not bother the white people in the northern suburbs but th team will miss that revenue and the entire brand will be shot. The Cubs would become the Brewers. I'd probably become a Sox fan.

OH NO CAN'T ALIENATE THE OUT OF TOWNERS!

On Boers and Bernstein, someone brought up "Tax Payers against Earmarks" -- http://endingspending.com/

from that website:

QuoteTaxpayers Against Earmarks, Inc. ("TAE") is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to educating and engaging American taxpayers about wasteful government spending and the misguided practice of earmarks. In this troubled economy, the time is now to regain control of federal government spending, balance the budget, pay down the national debt, and restore fiscal responsibility in Washington, D.C. We believe our elected representatives must end the practice of mortgaging the economic futures of our children and grandchildren to pay for present-day wasteful government spending.

Information is the best tool we have to combat these problems and hold politicians accountable for the policies that impact the financial health of our families and that are bankrupting America. As an initial step, TAE and its community of concerned citizens will work everyday to expose the corrupting and wasteful practice of earmarks. We will use a variety of programs to expose and shame all those who receive, request, sponsor, and advocate for earmarks. We will provide the American taxpayers with information so that they can make sure that Representatives and Senators do not claim to favor fiscal discipline while at the same time requesting earmarks.

Out-of-control government spending is a bipartisan problem with bipartisan origins. While TAE's individual supporters may be Democrats, Republicans, or Independents, TAE is nonpartisan. Its mission is to end wasteful government spending and eliminate the corrupting practice of earmarks. TAE will work to build broad coalitions on this issue so that we can end the broken earmarking system and stop the misue of taxpayer dollars.

TAE is organized as a nonpartisan corporation and has filed its application for tax exempt status under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to Taxpayers Against Earmarks, Inc. are not tax deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.

The Chairman of Taxpayers against Earmarks is Joe Ricketts.  Papa Ricketts.  Is this irony?  I honestly don't know.

Does anybody still argue the American "Office" is better than the British one?

Does anyone still care about that argument?

2005 called, they want their argument back.

Like father, like son? Think about it, won't you?

I'm like, a year older than him.  Get your facts straight.

I'm not one to let facts get in the way of a good meme.

Well then by all means, post your picture, Romeo.

Some dude in a league I'm in just traded Eli Manning, Donald Driver, and Mike Tolbert to "the guy in the league that hasn't checked his team since the draft" for Peyton Manning's fivehead.  Then, when everyone called him on the BS trade, he got all butt-hurt aboot it, eh.  I've been in leagues where dudes try the same thing, get called on it, and shrug it like, 'hey it was worth a try'.  This dude was seriously offended and tried to justify the trade.  I've never been privy to a reaction like that.  I'm not takin' crazy pills, am I?  That's a skank trade, right?  This dude's butt-hurtedness has got me questioning my fantasy football common sense. 

I'm JD and I need some validation.

This is only a problem if it's collusion.  Seems like one guy logged in ONLY to accept a shitty trade, and would not have logged in otherwise- FUCK THEM.

I say fuck the Thunder.  Fuck them for being America's sweethearts all of a sudden even though they were the Sonics three years ago.  Fuck Thabo for being a french guy who used to have cornrows.  Fuck Nenad Kristic and his hard to look at face.  Fuck Kevin Durant for playing up the 'humble down to earth' card.  Pick up a dumbell, Calista.  Fuck Oklahoma in general and their 2010 marketing campaign, "We're really only great because the Blazers fucked up*."  They're the basketball Tampa Bay Rays.  We get it, you were awful for forever and now you've had enough top five draft picks to get lucky a couple times and now the world loves you because you're small and gritty and not the Yankees or Lakers or Heat.  Go to hell.


*yeah, yeah, I know.

I didn't catch the whole game today (thank God) but what was the deal with receivers (coughKnoxcough) just giving up on routes?

Devin and Knox both failed to come back to the ball on routes that Hall had jumped. They just sort of jogged behind the play while Hall took the ball away. The pick 6 and the final coffin nail were both Cutler's fault and nobody else's.

Still, they blocked much better after the first quarter. The running game got untracked for awhile and stayed that way. The defense played heroically. Six turnovers though. I insist this team is 8-8-ish and they actually could improve enough to slug it out for a division title - which means something no matter what people like Chuck will say. It's not looking good on the whole but it's not over yet.

I have no idea what that means.

That explains a lot.

"Why don't I just rape her myself?"

Per Bodog...Bulls over/under is 46 wins.  Who's with me on the over?

Other notables:

Heat 64
Lakers 56
Magic 54
Celtics 54
Hawks 46
Bucks 45

I don't bet, but if I did- Nuggets at 43 wins would undoubtedly be intriguing.  If they trade him, there's no way that team touches .500 right?

This thread is a neverending loop of humiliation, depression and failure for me. It is junior high school. It is a finger-roll gone terribly awry at the penultimate second on the Game 7 Playoff Clock. It is my ex-fiancee. In this thread, I am BC.

(Dark cloud opens. Rain.)

Did you turn down a higher paying jorb too?

No, but I do wear long-sleeved undershirts under dress shirts in the summer time in here.

In the abstract?

All right, I missed the "in the abstract" thing the first time around.  What's the story behind that?  I'm sure it's awesome.

It's probably from the shoutbox. So you know it's good.

Yes it is. The full explanation would be is really boring, but trust me, it was something amazing to behold at the time funny if you happened to be there like everything else in the shoutbox.

Which is almost exactly what I said. Don't turn on me like some common side-boob loving IAN, Eli Jr.

In 2017, when I hit 1908 posts, you will know my by this handle.

So is Parks and Rec dead?

Back in January.

That was the initial plan, I think. But where's it going to go now that Outsourced has a full season?  It seems like either Community or Parks and Rec is going to get screwed over here.

One of the two gets bumped to summer?

Something gets moved to another night.

I would really like a flip of Outsourced and Community time slots.  Let Community enjoy the post-Office bump instead of leaving it to fight with Big Bang Theory.  Let BBT and Outsourced duke it out over which over-the-top stereotype is less funny.
