Great. Can Mann go back to making another crime epic, please? I’d been cool if after Heat he dropped the mic and walked out, but he also made Collateral, which was very good. He’s one of the few people that can craft a modern crime saga on film. I realize he made his start in TV and all but please go back to movies.

First time commenter but long time reader.
I’m not sure that Amare’s comments qualifies as a stab in the back. I’m reading his comments like he is telling it as how it is. Amare, himself, says that he and D’Antoni had a great conversation after D’Antoni’s resignation as well as saying how the coach raved about him. For him to say that and then interpreting his earlier statement of how guys don’t buy into the D’Antoni’s system as “Amare takes a shot at Mike D’Antoni” doesn’t make any sense.

That’s not the issue at all. It has always been free and now they are charging for a product that I can get for free elsewhere. It’s short sighted and will cost them online advertising dollars while alienating potential viewers who will learn how easy it is to watch sports without TV.

I’m a realist that knows not only were they leaving money on the table by giving it away for free, but they’re still leaving money on the table by only charging $4. they could charge $20+ and people would pay it.

“He was frustrated that everyone wasn’t buying into the system,’’ Stoudemire said after the Knicks destroyed the Blazers, 121-79, in Mike Woodson’s coaching debut. “It made it look bad. I guess stepping down was the best way for him.”
“He was raving about how great a man I’ve become and also as a player and professional,’’ Stoudemire said. “He was raving about me personally. He felt like we were in a good place and felt positive of the situation. He felt this week was the time to make a run for the playoffs and he didn’t want to do it in a week.’’
Those are the only quotes from Amare in that article.
“He was frustrated” is really the only possible knife-in-back comment, but the guy did resign. It’s obvious he was frustrated. We didn’t need to hear Amare confirm it.

This is true and there was probably some math done to predict the alienated audience and loss of traffic with the amount it costs and people willing to pay. I think with social media and forums (sites have already been linked here twice 2 in 40 comments) they probably underestimate the amount of people who tell them to fuck off. It’s only one click away (and several close spam clicks).

17 years ago my dad took me to Vegas for the first time. I was a high school senior. We stayed at the Imperial Palace and we gambled either $11 or $22 on every first round game for the first two days. We’d decide on all the bets, he’d go and lay them and I’d scurry off to the foodstand for fried food and low-rate shrimp cocktails. It was the first time he quit acting like a drill sergeant and treated me like an adult. Kind of what I always think about when the NCAA crops up.

This is a somewhat dicey week in Vegas. If things still hold true, this is the week of the American Broadcasters Convention in Vegas, so tons of people from radio and TV converge. (Sure this is all online) but this used to be the case. It is one of the weekends that all rooms are sold out in the city (at least it was). You also run into a lot of d-canoe’s out there but if you have a plan and stick to it (have a good base casino and stay there, with 2 good casinos’s accessible for placing bets) it can be good. I would reccomend it 1x to anybody, but not as your first week to Vegas.

I’m having the weirdest morning ever. Train pulls into the stop and I’m trying to exit but this guy has his arm up and is blocking the entire area so that I can’t get out. I ask him to move and it’s like he’s just frozen. Then he starts to fall over on top of me. And of course as the guy is collapsing not a single fucking person helps get this guy off me. I have to yell, “Can someone please help me?” before people start moving. I was shaking by the time I got off the train.

hogan setup diagram.
good explanation for why it works at the bottom of this post (copied below).
So, what does a golfer do?
IMO, just change their stance alignments at address. The Hogan stance diagram in ‘5 Lessons’ shows this perfectly:
Like I mentioned earlier, Hogan was a quintessential CP release swing. What Hogan did was basically figured out ‘D-Plane’ with the CP release for him well ahead of anybody else. By having a closed stance with the driver which has a shallower attack angle, he was able to still use that CP release, but still release the clubhead out to the right. And with a 5-iron, he could aim his feet square to the target, use the CP release, and get that clubhead swing left more. And then with an 8-iron and an open stance, he would get the clubhead swinging even more to the left.
Let’s say Hogan hit it relatively straight or a smidge of a fade, his ‘formulas’ may look like this, ALL THE WHILE USING A CP RELEASE:
PW……….-6* Attack Angle & -3.0* HSP = 0.0* Path
6-iron……..-4* Attack Angle & -2.5* HSP = -0.5* Path
3-iron……..-2* Attack Angle & -1.3* HSP = -0.3* Path
Driver…….-1* Attack Angle & -1.3* HSP = -0.3* Path
Again, he swung the club the same…he just changed where he aimed his body a tad. IMO, it’s perhaps the most brilliant part of his book.

but seriously, there’s too many to name. the episode where the cop goes undercover dressed as a chick prostitute (butters’ bottom bitch), the guitar hero episode, the prius episode, towlie’s first episode, the episode where cartman and osama square off…so many good ones.

Oh and the episode where Cartman throws the ninja star into Butters’ eye is absolute comedic gold. The fact that Butters is crawling around like a dog with a ninja star stuck in his eye…I still die during that episode.

The Mecha Streisand episode absolutely used the Super Friends theme when Robert Smith was fighting Streisand.
Right. And the Abe Lincoln/John Wilkes Booth episode was Super Best Friends.

I like the one where Stan coaches the pee-wee hockey team since if we can’t laugh at child cancer jokes the terrorists have won

LAST SECOND ADVICE ALERT: I think I’m going Kansas over North Carolina, but do I really want to put Kentucky in the title game? And I’m torn between Michigan State or Missouri. I could conceivably put Mich State in as the overall winner or Mizzou. Help?

Sean Salisbury’s life has become a “walking train wreck.”
Based on that picture in the link, I’d say he’s a train wreck who’s now exchanging handjobs behind the bus station for spare change.
fell into a toxic pool of depression, isolation and self-loathing
When does Craig James attain this situation?
