hulk gets angry, tries to hit supa (doge) grabs hulk flies him to space. game over 4 hulk.
&& wolverine isnt faster than superman so . . . . .

The ultimatums and needless public threats only served to back the owners themselves into a corner as well. If you keep making these types of all-in bets, eventually you’re going to get called. Then you have to live and die with the cards already on the table.

They all would have been better served keeping the negotiations quiet. The constant struggle for public opinion was a pointless one. The public has long waried of both sides, and will deem both responsible and guilty now. If they would have kept things private, perhaps each side could have backed off of their hard stances without seemingly losing face. I’m sure an agreement could have been reached without all of this nonsense.

You’re right… The die-hard fans are the ones that will be hurt the most. The peripheral fan doesn’t care enough to hold a grudge. They’ll come back as soon as their home team makes a playoff run. The die-hards have no choice. We love the game too much to walk away now. We, in fact, have the worst cards at the table. But we’re all in and just hoping that we get lucky on the River.

Jonesy–I thought the beats and hooks on Bad Meets Evil were fairly terrible. I get they were trying to rappity rap but the songs here are just crafted on a different level to me

Zlander–Thanks

Basketball or Football? Basketball is my favorite sport, but I dont think I cane live w/o football. My Mavs won, so I’m good for at least 10 years. lol. My Jets need to get one though.

1. Chemotherapy and drugs are half the battle against cancer. Knowing that you will still eventually die from cancer despite the chemotherapy and drugs is the other half of the battle.
2. Not dying is half the battle when playing russian roulette. Not wetting your pants is the other half.
3. Knowing that all life on Earth is meaningless is half the battle. Fighting the urge to do something meaningful in your life is a losing battle. And by losing battle, I mean a waste of time and effort.
4. Knowing that the film, Top Gun, resulted in a 500% increase in young men enlisting in the United States Navy who wanted to become Navy aviators is half the battle. Knowing that the 2009 film, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, grossed over $302 million worldwide is deemed a victory for Al Qaeda.
5. If knowledge is power and knowing is half the battle, how much knowledge is necessary to become all-powerful?

Well, we both know that isn’t EXACTLY true, unless your definition of mid-range only includes 13 footers at a 47 degree angle from the hoop or “shots where the shooter got at least six inches of lift”. Because a more liberal definition .. say shots between 10-23 feet by guys who play 25+ minutes a night … and the computer spits out a handful of more names. Not a lot but a few ….

Dwyane Wade’s legacy has already been shaped and cemented with bringing the first ever NBA championship to Miami in 2006. If LeBron James contributes by assisting Dwyane Wade win a second NBA championship, then LeBron James will be similar to Roger Clemens helping the Yankees win a World Series in 1999 and 2000, just another passenger along for the ride.

Either way, when questions are posed to LeBron and Wade during this NBA playoffs about winning a NBA championship, Wade can proudly state, “Been there, done that.” LeBron James can’t.

Lundberg, do you suffer from selective amnesia? We found out Wade could win a NBA Championship individually in 2006. Is that soon enough for you? Can you please stop lumping them together? The Miami Heat organization existed before LeBron James came to Miami.

The Miami Heat completed their first season in 1989 (1988-1989). I am pretty sure that John Calipari had no association with the Miami Heat organization that would lead to their first 22 years in existence from being vacated.

I got snookered!

“I get that people hate the guy (I’m still perplexed how deep the hate runs for some…over a TV show) …” How exactly do you, yourself, explain your visceral hatred for Adrian Grenier who plays the fictional character, Vincent Chase, on a TV show?

What do a 16-year old pregnant girl and a 43-year old woman accused of assaulting a parking valet have in common with an 18-year old artist twice rejected by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and a 55-year old man responsible for the extermination of over 6 million Jews? Absolutely nothing except for the fact that people feel the need to give perspective to actions that have no relevance to the actions.

I touched on Jesus Christ and Adolf Hitler. Now let’s get to abortion. I can not fathom a better public service announcement for pro-life supporters than Gloria James sitting in front of a group of teenage girls and rattling off the New York State Lotto motto, “Hey, you never know.”

And for those of you that only know me as Lundberg’s Lady Friend, my real name is April.

Rock > Cena, even though Cena will be booked to win in the end.

Your arguments against college basketball are flawed in themselves. Your constant comparison of professional basketball versus college basketball needs to be analyzed. You sound like an 80-year old man saying, “In my day, professional baseball players had to fight in two wars, WWII and Korea, work two jobs, and in their spare time, work on a cure for polio.” To which the general response is, “Grandpa, we were talking about little Jeffrey’s tee ball league, why do you always feel the need to make the comparison?” You have repeatedly defended your position about the superiority of talent of the NBA. Good for you. Yes, amateur athletes are inferior to professional athletes. But just like in amateur porn, amateur basketball players make mistakes, penetrate the wrong hole, cough up the ball prematurely, and there is usually some crying in the end, but it is just as enjoyable to watch as professional basketball players and professional porn stars going through the motions to give the viewers a predictable but satisfying ending with the Lakers jizzing on the competition.

Your use of Jared Jeffries and Mike Conley as examples for the lack of talent in college basketball since they were the top players on losing teams in National Championship games is poor. I think to better demonstrate the lack of talent in college basketball, the 2002 National Champion Maryland Terrapins would be a much better example. This team was led by Lonny Baxter. No, not Lonnie Baxter, Attorney at Law who you see on commercials claiming that he will fight for you. Also, other talentless players from that team were Juan Dixon, Steve Blake, and Chris Wilcox, who just recently scheduled a game against the New York Knicks.

Robin Lundberg’s inability to control himself from taking repeated shots at college basketball can be traced to his inferiority complex from growing up in Maryland. Due to Maryland’s lack of a professional basketball team and the University of Maryland’s lack of success in the ACC when compared to Duke and North Carolina, Lundberg’s lack of attachment to a specific team in multiple sports explains his flexible and everchanging rooting interests in teams. How many individuals do you know have rooted for the Redskins, Giants, Eagles, Cavs, Heat, and Knicks? I know one. Robin Lundberg.

1050 ESPN Radio is vastly inferior to WFAN in ratings, talent, and reception, but I still enjoy listening to both, especially when I am in the two block broadcast radius of 1050 ESPN Radio studios, but a comparison does not have to be made each and every time the inferior station’s name is brought up. That would be like when the Mets’ money problems are brought up that it has to be pointed out that 1050 ESPN Radio is going on the cheap by having their own hosts do the job of the Sportcenter update anchors that they fired back in October.

Jon Rothstein’s favorite sentence in the world is, “You know who he reminds me of?” When you respond, “no,” Rothstein believes that you are generally interested in his comparison, but what you really wanted to say was, “Please, no!!! And if you say Eddie House, I am going to burn this building to the ground! Enough with the comparisons for Christ’s sake!” My feelings exactly.

Lack of interest or lack of knowledge in a topic leads to generalities which leads to comparisons to topics you wish you were talking about in the first place. So during next March Madness, just stick to NBA talk.

I apologize if you thought I went on and on and would never end but I was just preparing you for the NBA playoffs from April 16 to when hell freezes over.

Everybody!

Limey scum, Limey scum!
I toss a bomb and still they come…

Along the ring of Kerry you can hear the bleat of gulls,
I’ll sip the blood of the English from their bleached and hollowed skulls.

Everybody!!

This could have been a good article. It is a crying shame it’s not.

Trust me. Robin Lundberg can not be trusted.

wrestling is awesome, the rock is the greatest mics-man ever and last monday was absoultely electrifying

Well, la la de freakin da for you.

Look, I don’t pretend to know too much about wrestling. But I do know one thing about it. The fake fighting doesn’t help the sport. It makes it look ridiculous and it should be abolished. I’m not saying that in reaction to the Lundberg’s blogpost, I’m saying that in reaction to common sense.

There may be counter arguments thrown my way like ‘but everyone enjoys a good fight’ or ‘the fights are the reason I watch’. Those don’t really hold weight. Wrestling’s ratings are not in the same stratosphere as football, basketball or baseball, so fake fighting as a ratings ploy is a failure. And yes, people do love watching a good fight but that is what sanctioned boxing and mixed martial arts bouts are for; you know, actual good fights. Wrestling should be hoping fans are searching YouTube for spectacular techniques, not fake amateur knockouts.

Wrestling is a contact sport. So is football and the NFL doesn’t allow the same shennanigans. Isn’t fast-paced, high impact action enough? We’re talking about a game that is essentially the cousin of ass-grab in a real men’s prison shower combined with the poor acting and drama skills in a women’s prison shower scene; similar goals (pin your opponent) with different rules and equipment. Again, neither of those sports allows impromptu rakes-to-the-face.

Seeing guys try to throw fake punches in tights is entertaining on the surface but it creates the wrong perception. And if you don’t agree with me, I have a metal chair under the ring waiting for you.

I believe the following are true:
1. Lundberg would not watch more hockey if fighting was abolished because his first love is basketball and the hockey season and basketball season run concurrently.
2. If fighting was abolished, hockey’s ratings would not significantly increase or decrease because the sport itself at a grassroots level in America has too many inherent obstacles to overcome to become more mainstream like baseball, basketball, and football. Hockey is played on ice. There is nothing that can be done about the ice to make it more accessible to children.
3. Soccer began in 1863, ice hockey in 1875, and basketball in 1891, so basketball should be considered the distant cousin.
4. Sanctioned boxing and mixed martial arts bouts are as hit-or-miss as hockey fights.
5. I know that if four individuals aren’t known for their fighting prowess that they have that in common in relation to each other. I also know that your second sentence in your first paragraph should be eliminated.
6. In addition, when I read the word, “obsurd” and “I just graduated college,” I feel like punching a wall.

“I’m not saying that in reaction to the Islanders-Penguins brawl, I’m saying that in reaction to common sense.”

Action: An Islanders-Peguins brawl
Reaction: Lundberg’s first ever blogpost about hockey that states that fights in hockey should be abolished

Action: Lundberg’s opinion about common sense
Reaction: My opinion that Lundberg is no Thomas Paine

As for the perception of violence, the fights in hockey are not nearly as violent as some cringe-inducing hits in Football (or even in hockey itself); a couple of punches are thrown, there’s a bloody nose or a black eye, and the players separate. If anything, taking fighting out of hockey would make the sport more violent–there would be more blindshots and more cheapshots, and as a result, more serious injuries.

The owners have a plan not to meet with the players association and the players association better plan on conceding if they plan on meeting with the owners. While most of the support from fans “might empathize with the plight of the players,” the NFL owners with the television contracts will make this a first round TKO when the owners finally decide to allow the players to sit at the kiddie table.

1. Have the best player ever, Michael Jordan – Chicago Bulls
2. Have the best player ever retire and have the #1 pick in the 1984 draft – Houston Rockets
3. Have the best player ever unretire – Chicago Bulls
4. Have the #1 pick in the 1997 draft – San Antonio Spurs
5. Sign as a free agent the #1 pick from the 1992 draft – L.A. Lakers
6. Have a G.M. make a bad trade to his former team – Boston Celtics
7. Out of the 30 NBA teams, don’t be 23 of them.

I now believe this will be the first of many stories that will document the obstacles that Roethlisberger has overcome. These stories are going to come in waves now. It is going to be like a tsunami.
