I swear that woman never ages. Who do you suppose will age more gracefully, Anniston or Angelina Jolie? My money’s on Jennifer.
January 31st, 2012 at 8:33 AM
Not that there was a question in here, but to give a reason why people might get on Westbrook- Derrick Rose doesn’t play with Kevin Durant, and therefore there aren’t times when Rose takes a shot with 3 guys on him with one of (probably) the top 3 players in the NBA standing noticeably wide open somewhere on the court. I think Westbrook is a great player, but there’s no question that he does this from time to time.

January 31st, 2012 at 8:35 AM
so, not really a legit point from Perkins.
January 31st, 2012 at 8:36 AM
unless you work at a doctors office, which I don’t think you do, that needs to be nipped in the bud.
January 31st, 2012 at 8:36 AM
Can you not just tell her how fucking disgusting that is?
January 31st, 2012 at 8:36 AM
I think Aniston will do whatever it takes to slow the aging process. So if that is grace then yes I suppose so.

Well, duh.
Derek Jeter and Minka Kelly dating again
Dude, never go back. Never, ever, go back.
The more I see pics of Jennifer Aniston, the better she looks. I agree with Caribou. In a few years, when Jolie’s face finally melts off, Aniston will still look great.
January 31st, 2012 at 8:40 AM
Ugh.. SHE is talking about her infected vagina again… at 8:30 in the fucking morning

Don’t forget that Jolie is entering her “showing off my ribs is sexy” phase of her career. Eat something Angie.
January 31st, 2012 at 8:41 AM
I’ve never understood people that have public positions like that who blatantly steal while in that position, and don’t think they will get caught. I’m sure there are several cases where they don’t, but it seems like there are a whole lot of times when they do, and it’s usually because of greed.
January 31st, 2012 at 8:41 AM
How the Backyard Brawl between Pitt and West Virginia in 2007 altered the course of Michigan and Ohio State.
One of my greatest gambling days ever — Pitt was like +900 on the money line. There was no reason they should have won that game.

Dang, that dog in the video is a good office assistant.
January 31st, 2012 at 8:45 AM
No dog in the fight but Jolie has a family and Brad Pitt and other career interests while Anniston has to keep a facade of looks to keep getting in those terrible rom-coms.
January 31st, 2012 at 8:45 AM
Jennifer Aniston
Never been a fan. Maybe the “quirky/annoying” characters she played. Attractive, just not in my top , let’s say, 1,000.

January 31st, 2012 at 8:48 AM
I will back you on that, but the way Jolie looks, she looks like a Barbie pulled out of the box from 1959
It’s almost comical and sad at the same time.
January 31st, 2012 at 8:48 AM
Aniston seems to work really, really hard at being “girl next door”. Jolie at least accepts that she’s nowhere near normal.
January 31st, 2012 at 8:48 AM
And there it is…that whole spread was gold
January 31st, 2012 at 8:49 AM
Come on. Not in top 1000? If you want to say 10, then sure. But 1000, no way.
January 31st, 2012 at 8:49 AM
Mizzou was actually up 3 with the ball with under a minute left but then a exas player leaned in and got brushed by the arm of the Mizzou player. Want to call an offensive foul? Fine. But they went to the review and said, oh noes an elbow, so they gave Texas two shots AND the ball. THey need to change that fucking rule. Elbow sometime happen in basketball, only punish the ones where a player is going out of his way to hit an opponent.

What’s the point of this column? “Anybody who thinks the Broncos can win a Super Bowl with the offense they used to crash the postseason party with Tebow at the controls is living in the 1970s.”
The point is that while the Broncos had some success with the Tebow offense, it isn’t a sustainable plan for winning. Its a full time wildcat offense, which revolutionized the league for 3 weeks and then people figured out a way to defend it.

I know people that go to these indoor lacrosse games regularly and swear by how awesome they are. The loud PA/music guy would probably annoy me after a bit, I would imagine.
January 31st, 2012 at 9:00 AM
i disagree…i think it’s very sustainable. think about how hard it is to prepare for them…do you waste a week trying something new or stick with what you were doing? how do you attack it? how do you adjust your offense if you’re not scoring?
i think it could be revolutionary for the NFL. there will always be a spot for the coryell and west coast systems, why not something entirely different? esp when it flies in the face of convention and defenses aren’t tailored or staffed to deal with it.
January 31st, 2012 at 9:01 AM
Joe Biden might be the most ineffectual Vice President since Dan Quayle.

SC, I see some hand wringing amongst the SCH faithful in regards to Hal Gill. If I was a Hawks fan I’d like to see Stan pull the trigger on a deal for him (assuming the cost is a 2nd or 3rd round pick).
January 31st, 2012 at 9:32 AM
Thats because people recognize that the Thunder are legitimate championship contenders with the only possible derailment a blow up between the two stars. Where as the Bulls won’t get past the Heat for the next 4 years.

Um….what? Is it only funny to me that CJ and SG get the annoying coworkers? Or at least the ones we hear about?
Oh and high five to Team Warm. It’s been above 50 21 days here since December 1st. We had 9 days like that in the last two years combined. In other words, fuck winter.

I guess so but as it stands right now the Bulls should do whatever they can to get Dwight.
January 31st, 2012 at 9:39 AM
No thanks. We’ve got a surplus of 3rd pairing quality defensemen.
I took a look at a few things:
During Gill’s time in MTL, he’s averaged the most PK ice time and they’ve been 10th (2009-10), 5th (2010-11), 1st (2011-12) in 4v5 SA/60.
The Hawks finished bottom 10 last year and are currently giving up the most 4v5 SA/60 in the league. He’d be a solid add to an area of weakness.
January 31st, 2012 at 9:39 AM

No, I don’t know if I had heard of these schools before yesterday. However, SIU beat them by 15 earlier in the year with the same roster, so I loved them getting that many pts. And the public was on Tennessee Tech heavy. Of course I noticed before tip, the line moved to 18. Thats an even worse feeling…

January 31st, 2012 at 9:43 AM
Can’t disagree with you there. I would be disappointed to see Luol Deng and Joakim Noah depart, but if it means that we can land Dwight and he signs a long term extension, I’m all for it.
Every game that goes by I hope more and more that Carlos Boozer gets the amnesty treatment next year. They could use that cap space to bring in a less expensive and more useful 4. It’s pretty apparent that Boozer is talented but only brings it against lesser competition.
January 31st, 2012 at 9:44 AM
I have to agree with SG. Now go back to not making the playoffs for a decade 9ers.

That chick scares the shit out of me. UGA fans have long lamented the fact that their cheerleaders do a terrible job of representing how hot the co-eds are. This just hammers that home.
January 31st, 2012 at 9:44 AM
out of curiosity, is this only because they have won multiple SB’s since he has been alive? because Arkansas hasn’t won a NC in football since I’ve been alive, and when they do I plan on being an incredible asshole, probably for multiple days. is this acceptable?
January 31st, 2012 at 9:44 AM
Yes it is a reflection of instability. Variances on both ends.
so no matter what the weather does, its global warming? seems logical.
January 31st, 2012 at 9:45 AM
If they can’t get Dwight they should dangle Boozer and some piece to the Knicks for Amare.
January 31st, 2012 at 9:46 AM

This is true with most schools. The “Cheerleaders are the best looking students” stereotype died out when the attractive girls figured out they could get attention and not have to practice 6 days a week.
January 31st, 2012 at 9:46 AM
Are we certian the Heat won’t have to re-do the Big 3 contracts due to more CBA implications next year?
Also, I fear this but I could envision Paul going to the Heat and all 3 re-working their deals to make them 4 equals.

January 31st, 2012 at 9:48 AM
I want Nick Leddy off our penalty kill. Gill was assisted, not in this particular stat but in general, but Carey Price backstopping that PK. Hal Gill is slow, brings next to nothing offensively and is generally thought of as a 3rd pairing guy. Ideally, the Hawks would like to move Hjalmarsson or Leddy down to 3rd pairing minutes at even strength.
If Gill is the only option out there in a limited market, I’m sure Stan will take it. I’d still like to see him turn over a couple more rocks. Pitkanen and Ruutu can be had. Swallowing Pitkanen’s cap hit the next two seasons is the only hurdle.
January 31st, 2012 at 9:48 AM
Alex Rodriguez is flying to Athens to meet this woman as I type this.

January 31st, 2012 at 9:52 AM
I would LOVE A’mare on this team. If it means we can keep Noah and Luol, do it. I’d send Boozer with one of Omer, Taj or a pick for A’mare. Just don’t see the Knicks wanting to improve their rivals.
A’mare doesn’t have much more defensive usefulness than Boozer but offensively he’s light years ahead. Booz’s fadeaway rainbows from the high post are wearing on me. A’mare is better down low and Joakim would have help on the offensive glass with him.
January 31st, 2012 at 9:52 AM
MTL PKSV% during that same time frame: 11th (2011-12), 5th (2010-11), 13th (2009-10). So there is some validity to this point, but I’d attribute as much of their PK success to ‘shot suppression’ as to goaltending.
Hal Gill is slow, brings next to nothing offensively and is generally thought of as a 3rd pairing guy.
Yes, yes, 2nd pairing if paired with a puck mover.
You don’t want Pitkanen.
January 31st, 2012 at 9:52 AM
Does Pitkanen play the PK? For all of his skills, it’s amazing he’s never been able to put it all together.

If Tebow’s average stat line is in the range of: 12/22, 195 yard, 1.5 TD, 0.5 INT and the Broncos shore up the defense a bit more, they could easily go 10-6 and be in the AFCW hunt for years. That offense doesn’t need Tebow to throw for 250-300 yards/game. However, if his stat lines revert to 2/7, 52 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT, they’re screwed.

Really, it depends what you’re looking for.
I’m not even sure Staios is a regular NHL player anymore, despite his willingness to perhaps run through a brick wall if asked.
As for Eaton and Streit….Streit could run your power play, but what’s he like defensively? Eaton is strictly a 3rd pairing guy, IMO.
January 31st, 2012 at 9:59 AM
Streit? Maybe he’ll throw Tavares in as well.

Couldn’t agree more, and honestly I’m not sure what they’re going to do. I think the deal is going to have to be incredible for the Canucks to let go of what is, right now, a pretty nice safety blanket, but they need some help up front. If he could bring in someone significant, I think he’s gone. But that’s a big if.
