    As advertised.

    The Heat will win or lose this series based on Wade. LeBron will do his part. Battier had a huge game. The role players do their thing. Wade had a bad game, for him.

    OT-Calipari Cuts Charlie V for being overweight

    As a 6 foot 11 inch black man, I'd put good money on him being able to hang his hat on some other greatness. On an unrelated note - JaYnKiRoR - why you so bitter and angry about everything? You bitch and moan about everything and seem to view the world from a very dark, sad place. And that's...

    OT: Geno

    I'm not sure the concept of "government" can be parlayed into a self-perpetuating entity that has it out for minorities. As far as I can tell, governments are coming apart at the seams in Europe and the U.S. because they can't balance a check book; it's difficult for me to see how governments...

    OT: Geno

    In fact I didn't. It was more a question of not writing an essay. A poor black man and a poor Italian immigrant walk in for a job in 1955. The problem the black guy has is not the previous 400 years. The problem he has is that his skin is black and most white people in that day were...

    OT: Geno

    Of course it's quite a stretch. Probably, it's not true. But you asked what his meaning was. His meaning was, to me, straightforward, even if unlikely. It's like somebody saying they saw a ghost in the attic. I don't ask, "what do you mean by that?" because it's unlikely (impossible).

    OT: Geno

    She didn't get the job, she's upset, she wants to lash out at somebody, she picked geno. That wasn't obvious to you?

    OT: Geno

    I'm not saying he is or he isn't. I frankly don't care. I'm simply saying that it is entirely possible that he has been bold with women in the manner described in the complaint over the years and it has been covered up. Certainly not a sex abuse case, but not heart warming either. Like I...

    OT: Geno

    What anybody should do is take advantage of the opportunities that are available, and not blame others for their failure to succeed. So affirmative action has been around for about 40 years. Right? How has the black community done in that time? Illegitimacy rate today among blacks is about...

    OT: Geno

    Affirmative Action is racist. Pointing out the flaws in affirmative action is not racist.

    OT: Geno

    Did you really just argue that the NBA dumping money into an all-women's league refutes my affirmative action comments? If you don't think that, back when this woman was hired, most major corporations (including the NBA) did not give race and gender preferences to lesser-qualified candidates...

    OT: Geno

    Blackbird - Sandusky got away with it for a couple decades before it went public. This might be nothing, or the tip of the iceberg. Time will tell. Regarding this woman, it appears that she's got a really bad case of "ABWS." That's "angry black woman syndrome." This may end up being an...

    OT: Geno

    Here's what her Complaint says: 1. She is a security expert. 2. GA subjected her to an unwanted conversation in which GA made "inappropriate" comments that made her "uncomfortable." 3. GA got on the same elevator with her. 4. When she got off the elevator, GA got off too and followed her to...

    OT: Heat - Thunder, who you got?

    I agree that turnovers are important, but I think that this series is going to come down to points. I think that, if the Heat score more points, then they are going to end up winning this thing.

    Celts/Heat Dame 7

    I still can't believe anybody gives LBJ crap about leaving Cleveland. Crap about giving up in one series? Yes. Give him crap about that. Crap about televising the choice? Yes. Crap him about that. Crap about not telling Cleveland? Yes. Crap. But leaving Cleveland? And so what if he chose...

    Celts/Heat Dame 7

    Yeah sorry. Jordan got every call. No player before or since has had the benefit of the whistle like Jordan had. Jordan was a great player, no doubt in any reasonable person's mind. But Jordan became the NBA. Today, the league is much more star oriented. Back then, there was a distinct dearth...

    Celts/Heat Dame 7

    Yeah, agreed. But nobody's making that argument, and, as noted above, age is a much better analysis tool than "years in the league." It should be obvious why, but, to keep it in perspective, Jordan didn't do squat before age 27 to put him in the GOAT category. Right? Why? Many reasons...

    Celts/Heat Dame 7

    You keep focusing on "years in the league." That's very weak, and that's not nearly as informative as age, because age is a direct reflection of experience. It works for your argument, but it's a cop out, because it ignores that . . . Jordan played 3 years at North Carolina. You are...

    Celts/Heat Dame 7

    JaYn - your raging, lusty hatred of LBJ is quite impressive. You can actually be quoted as saying that you had a problem with Lebron celebrating wildly in the locker room. That's impressive. Fact is, LBJ is 4 games away from his 1st ring. He may or may not make it happen. As far as I'm...

    Bradley-Pacquiao

    Didn't watch the fight. Last fight I watched was Mayweather/Other guy. The announcers kept telling me, "the fans don't know what they're watching. It looks like Other guy is winning the fight, but Mayweather is." I was surprised at the announcers in that fight. Every thing Mayweather did was...

    Celts/Heat Dame 7

    Mucho props to the Celts. They had an awesome series, and they did quite well, considering how much age and talent-on-paper they were giving up. I love Rondo. Love his game. I'd think hard about making him the point on my dream team of active players. Props to the Heat. They got it done...

    LeBron v. Durant

    Give it some time. Laker/Celtic history didn't make Magic/Bird special. Magic and Bird made Magic/Bird special. The timing of the two careers coincided. They are both in the top 10 players ever. They both won multiple MVPs and championships. They looked about as different as two human beings...

    LeBron v. Durant

    I don't want to get ahead of things, because the Celtics need to get slaughtered in Miami before this occurs, but I'm genuinely excited about seeing what may be the opening salvo of another Bird/Magic type career head-to-head, close to perennial match up. I haven't been this interested in the...

    OT: LeBron

    Peyton Manning the best QB ever? ;) Everybody is entitled to use whatever criteria they want for determination of "greatest." If "winning the big games" and "leading team to championship success" are not part of the metric, then the list of GOAT contenders is going to look different. I...

    LeBron is the best ever. Whether he ends up with the best ever resume is yet to be seen.

    OT: Ageless Celtics

    How anybody could not love Garnett is beyond me. Guy is a warrior with a unique skill set and a motor that belies his age.

    Wow - No Tiger Talk?

    You don't judge anybody? Not even Sandusky? You just keep playing cards with him? Yeah sure. The "don't judge" crowd is the funniest of all.

    1. His wife knew. 2. The difference between Marilyn Monroe and Rachel Ukatel.

    Wow - No Tiger Talk?

    No. That's not right. That's like saying, in response to somebody inquiring what Jeffrey Dahmer did, that, "he killed somebody." To say a man "cheated" on his wife invokes images of banging the secretary, a dalliance at the Christmas (holiday) party, a tryst with a woman you met at the gym...

    Wow - No Tiger Talk?

    We all make mistakes. But we don't all make devastating mistakes and then lack contrition. He's a POS, through and through, and he'll die alone and unhappy. I do, however, enjoy very much the drama of watching to see whether he'll beat Jack's major record. This was a nice win for Tiger -...

    Everybody who doesn't think the NBA is unwatchable...

    Great finish. Fun game to watch. Upstart OKC Thunder were impressive. Epic Beard Guy draining the 3 with the game on the line was crazy. SAS were just a bit too old. Needed some D, but couldn't find it. Entertaining game. I'm figuring OKC closes it out with a 20 point blow out in Okie...
