  1. Same here. It feels better being the underdog going into games against the top teams of the league.
  2. It's kind of off-topic, but does anyone know if one can burn a complete season of a TV show on a DVD? I think the size of this season is just enough to fit in a DVD disc that I have, but is there a program that you have to use because I understand there are multiple episodes and parts so I probably have to make a menu of some sort when I burn it... any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
  3. Yeah, I was like 'HOLY s***' at 4AM when I watched it...
  4. Dexter is, um... being shipped to me... right now. Season 1 & 2. Next up I'll um... order... Sons of Anarchy / Big Bang Theory. Not a big fan of Lost, I hear the plot just goes in circles.

    TV Shows

    I haven't watched too many TV shows before since I only like to watch it when I get to watch every episode since the beginning, but I'm starting to become fans of more and more TV shows now and am starting to watch more of them. The list of TV Shows that I like are... Fringe House Supernatural The Office Lincoln Heights (I haven't watched this in a year though, I wonder if I'll still like it...) I'm looking for suggestions for whatever TV shows you guys may like... I heard Dexter was good, but I haven't heard much about it before.
  6. That makes the two of us. However, it'd still be a fight worth watching.
  7. http://www.amazon.com/Madden-NFL-10-Xbox-360/dp/B001UU1WTC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1247469647&sr=8-4 They charge you $57, and I hear they will take off $10 for your next purchase if you pre-order there. But I didn't give the details a good look, I just found this on another forum and a lot of people didn't seem to have a problem about it.
  8. That reminds me... when I went to the Hawks/Knicks game at the Madison Square Garden in April of 2008, Billy Knight kept turning around and looking at me. And when I went to the bathroom it seemed like he was always staring at me... I would have waved at him, but he creeped me out a bit.
  9. They referred to this site? Anyone have a link? Sorry I've been away and busy for the past few weeks, so I haven't caught up with much yet...
  10. Brock Lesnar is the s***. I like his character. He's a good villain. And I think wrestling is the most important grappling style in MMA. Unless you have VERY good BJJ, I think wrestling tops all of them. Frank Mir looked unprepared for this fight. It seems as if he invited Brock to take him down... which was a bad idea. He must not have realized that Brock's ground-and-pound was very much improved since they last fought. I kind of feel bad for Frank Mir, but then again... he was also overconfident. I just want to see a Fedor vs. Brock Lesnar fight as soon as possible before one of them loses.
  11. That sounds like a great deal. I hope it's 5 years for around 40 million. Not sure I'd pay Marvin more than 8 million per. But that is excellent news. Now we just have to make that official and go after a big or two.
  12. Andruw Jones isn't worth it. He's doing very good in Texas for many good reasons. One, he's mainly hitting left-handed pitchers. If we trade for anyone, I'd rather he be able to hit both left and right handed hitters... meaning Andruw Jones is not the answer to our hitting problems. Second, he's hitting in a very-hitter friendly stadium. Texas is one of the hitter-friendliest stadiums in the major leagues. And third, he's playing under one of, if not the best hitting coach in the major leagues. Andruw Jones is not worth it. We should have went after him in the offseason, but not now. I wouldn't trade much for someone like Andruw Jones.
  13. I wouldn't do that trade. As for your team, Bowen isn't too good anymore in real life and in the game. Try finding a replacement or if you want, start Crawford and move Joe Johnson at the SF position.
  14. This will take some time to get used to, but I like it. Thanks, Dolfan.
  15. Death strikes again. :(
  16. Arthur Blank is one of the best owners in the entire league. He's got a very good reputation in the sports and business world. Thomas Dimitroff is quite possibly the best GM in the NFL (not just Atlanta). And Mike Smith is one of the best coaches in the league also and he might also be part of the part coaching staff the Falcons have ever had.
  17. RealGM is filled with too many casual teenage fans who don't know much about basketball.
  18. Why? I think Church is underappreciated because he's not the flashy player that people think we could have gotten with Francouer. The truth is... Francouer's value is close to nothing. Just be happy that we got rid of Francouer. Church's OBP is higher than Frenchy and at least Church won't complain if we bench him or put him in the minors. I think Church will fit in quite nicely in Atlanta if we decide to keep him.
  19. This offseason was great. We added another threat to our already very good offense. And we brought in some players from the draft to improve our defense. I am VERY high on William Moore. I wanted us to draft him in the first round if possible, and I've been saying all along that this kid seems like the Dimitroff type of player. Some people wanted to take Michael Johnson in the second round, but I personally think he's a bust in the NFL other than a sack here and there sort of like a pass specialist only. Peria Jerry looks like he will be very solid this year, but I hope he stays healthy for most of the year. And we also got a steal in Sidbury in the fourth round. Something tells me that this guy will not be coming off the bench for too long. The free agency was solid as we brought in Mike Peterson (another fellow I've mentioned before we got him as someone I'd like to replace Brooking - just giving myself props / showing off, lol) to add another veteran player on the defense. We could have been flashier later in the draft, but you know how Dimitroff is! He knows where the true value is at - whether flashy or not. I would grade our offseason an "A".
  20. I hope Francouer sucks monkey nuts in NY. I have a feeling he will. I think he will fold under the New York media. This is good news for Atlanta. No one wanted Frenchy in the beginning of the year, and I think the Mets have kept close watch on him and he's been hitting a couple doubles here and there recently. It's a good thing we were able to trade him for someone who has somewhat of a value. I don't want to rule out Atlanta packaging Church off to another team even though we just traded for him. The last thing the Braves needed was another lefty-batter outfielder. But I guess I'll take this nothing for something trade.
  21. I want to see Marvin back. I don't want to see Flip take away the few minutes that Woodson would have given to the young point guard (Teague) again.
