shock

If BK cant make a trade to send Tony to another team, then the Hawks need to buy out his contract so he can sign with another team. Management has absolutely bombed in the PR department with this situation as far as I'm concerned.

Stevie Franchise has been traded to the Knicks for Penny, Ariza.....

Quote: Most of the NASCAR tracks are generic and it's pretty much one huge game of follow the leader. Obviously you are not a watcher, but thats ok. NASCAR would love to have you as a fan. Tracks are grouped into categories of tri-ovals, ovals, quad oval, and road courses. They range from 1/2 mile tracks such as bristol, to 2.6 mile tracks such as talladega superspeedway. Also, banking is very different from track to track. If you knew the days and hours these teams worked developing a car to suit the track, you would know they are anything but generic. Follow the leader? You must be a Gordon fan!!!!

ALRIGHT ZACH!!!!!! Man, I wish more people would actually take the time out to watch NASCAR or even go to a race, before they discredit it and say it sucks. If you have seen it and still dont like it, fair enough. If Tony Stewart hadnt of ran over his jack coming out of the pit, he would have caught up up to Dale Jr and they would have finished 1st and 2nd. Jr just couldnt get anyone to run with him. For those who dont know, Jr and Smoke (stewart) are 'unofficial teammates". Gah I could talk about NASCAR all day!

Yes, bear hunting is legal in certain areas. I have a co-worker who travels to northern canada every year to hunt black bear. They are over populated, and there is a 1 kill limit.

I believe he injured his knee and is out for the season?

Doing my "Redneck-white trash" voice....."hey c'mon mayne, issa only dangious if yeh izza lil p*ssy". But yes there are quite a few Augusta National Members that quail hunt. and while im talking in that voice to myself, allow me to let you in on the greatest quote ive ever heard from a real person about Talledega. "hey man!, if it cant be done in 'dega, ..it dont need to be done!!!"

Guys, I love hunting. If you dont agree with it, then thats ok too. But just understand that there is alot more that goes into it than, "guy with gun shoots defenseless deer". I recommend quail hunting in south georgia. If you've never experienced quail hunting, I highly suggest you give it a try. Or, if you prefer shooting a 20 gauge as opposed to a 12. I use a 20 gauge skb 585 o/u. Just a great gun to shoot. also, if you own a labrador, retriever, or brittany spaniel, they are ideal dogs to take with you.

Im kind of preferential to Billy Zabka

I couldnt help but laugh when i saw this. The pistons just keep getting better and the magic just keep getting worse.

Tonight the Hawks start their 4 game ropad trip. Seattle, Sacramento, LA Lakers, and Detroit. Im predicting we go 1-3. I think we could easily go 2-2. I just dont think our young team is capable of winning in detroit when their out for revenge. Sacramento is hot right now, Bibby will be breaking down our defense and Ron Ron will be guarding JJ very tight. I think either tonight or in LA we will get our win.

diesel, i posted a thread about this titled "Haterade". It ws written by Page2 columnist Bill Simmons. He used to be a boston sports writer and worked for a while as a writer for the Jimmy Kimmel Show.

I remember back in the day when Marlon Wayans did a skit on In Living Color mocking a Shabba video. Hilarious.

ouch!

Stats.... I mean, their great if your a fantasy geek or mathmatician... When I question how good a player is, I dont go to 82games.com to get the square root of the minutes played verses ratios of ft% divided by blah blah blah...I just watch the dude play. Does he look like a good player? Can he defend? Can he shoot? Does he make his team better? Its pretty simple to figure out. Stats are about as overrated as your daily rebuttals to EVERYTHING Diesel says.

Quote: And did you notice who Detroit chose to attack at the end of the game? They chose to give the ball to prince because he was the hot offensive player for them on that night. When the Lakers play the Spurs, Kobe attacks Bruce Bowan all night long. He is their best defensive player. It had nothing to do with Chillz and everything to do with Prince.

ok

Was reading the sports guys newest column today (evryone should go to espn.com and check it out), and read in horror at simmons taking a cheap shot at joe johnson. Joe is anything but a mediocre player, simmons is just hating on the guy because he wasnt the same player in boston a few years back. anyways, heres what he said about the hawks whom he ranked 28th in the league. ----Things I would do if I were Hornets GM Jeff Bower: Bring everyone into my office, call Atlanta GM Billy Knight on my speaker phone, pretend I was just checking in to say hello, then deadpan the requisite, "Hey, you aren't interested in trading Marvin Williams for Chris Paul, are you?" joke ... followed by one of those "Bwaaaaaah haaaaaa haaaaaaa!" laughs as everyone in the office cracks up. (See, this is why I could never be an NBA GM. Also, I wouldn't make dumb trades and overpay for mediocre players. That's another reason.)------

the only darko i've ever liked was donnie.... great movie!

Quote: I just threw up a little bit in my mouth In some cultures, the only eat vomit. I've never been there, but, i read about it...."in a book"

Quote: I have an idea! Create some continuity with your team by adding to what you already have instead of proposing all of these dumb azz trades Or how about we create a winning, playoff team by adding an all star. Go ahead and keep thinking that we can just trade a scrub for a better scrub, and that our future draft picks will pan out to help the guys we already have win a title. If we could get JO for Al/Smmove then hell yes i would do it. That is not a "dumb azz" trade. I agree that most trades on this board are ridiculous and would never happen, but i argue that toying with the notion of trading our assests for proven, bona fide superstars is anything but a proposed "dumb azz" trade.

I dont know. You would probably have to ask the 29 other GM's. I like smoove, but if adding him to a package deal to land someone like Garnett or whomever, then its worth it i think. Im just opening up discussion of what we could do to land a difference making pg, c, or pf. Not a dan gadzuric,steve blake, reggie evans, or some other 2nd or 3rd tier player. Im talking about an allstar, household name kind of guy. Maybe we dont even have the players to make a deal like this? Or maybe we do but it would cripple our team? Just throwing some thoughts and ideas out there.

Or how about Al/our 1st/another player for someone really good? Why hasnt this scenario been brought up on this board? We could definatly land an all-star with a al/1st/smoove package or something similar.

Quote: Simien has a nice post-up game. I can remember watching him at Kansas; he seemed flat out unstoppable at times. The down side to Simeon is he's not as tall as your prototypical 4. He's listed at 6'9, but might be closer to 6'8. One thing I have noticed is that the guy is HUGE. He might be 6'8" but he easily weighs 245 and has ridiculous strength

...and he is taking a beating out there. Im glad to see one of our pg's take it strong to the basket and draw the contact. ivey knows he cant go wrong with this plan. either he 1)draws the foul, allowing haywood and co. to get in foul trouble 2) wizards collapse on him and he dishes for an easy 2 3) scores
