Season 3 has been a really crazy one, with some of the main characters being killed thru the seven episodes that have been dropped. :nana:

There have been some twists that made me say...

Wrong thread. :banghead:

Charles Oakley
But did you have everyone's respect like Oakley did? Did you keep it real?

When Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter both played for Toronto, they came into Dallas one night and beat the Mavs. Both scored over 20 points and they had at leat 10 dunks between them. The high flying duo were the story that night. I got quotes from both of them. Oakley may have been the oldest guy on the team, and he had a double-double, so I thought it would be cool to get a quote from him. I asked him what he thought about the two of them having all of those dunks in the game.

He answered, "That's their f*cking job."

One Wed. afternoon when I was in my early 20's, I was Shaq. I got into a 4-on-4 game at a Dallas city park near Skyline High school with some Vietnamese kids who were skipping school. I was driving, scoring, and rebounding under the goal, which is something I never do. I'm a jump shooter. But that day I was the tallest guy on the court. I blocked some shots.It was my most dominate day of basketball ever. It wasn't much different than shooting by myself. My sides were hurting at the end of the day because those little guy were some hard running dudes. I used to play that same court from 10 AM til whenever, every Sat. morning and that was the only day my 5'9" was the tallest guy there.
My nephew is a SWCC Warrant Officer, who used to be a boat captain over two stealth boats. His wife served on a nuclear air craft carrier as an enlisted "Nuke". When she got out she went to one of the Norfolk area colleges & got a Mechanical Engineering Bachelors & a Masters in Systems Engineering while he was stationed at Little Elm base. He is stationed at the Stennis Center Navy base now. She works for a company that designs High Pressure Pumps in Slidell.

One year when I worked a regional game at the AAC, the security guards made me pour an Ozark water into a Coke cup because they didn't want anyone at the press table behind one team's bench drinking out of a bottle that was not labeled Coke or Dasani.
In the 70's lots of Celtics fans were white. They had the whitest team in the league. My dad was always a Celtics fan.

The Texas Rangers have reached a pre-agreement with 12-year-old Dominican prospect Andel Pérez for a $4.0 million signing bonus, per Wilber Sanchez ??

International prospects are not eligible to officially sign until age 16, making this an early and significant commitment by Texas. The $4 million is expected to be the largest bonus the organization allocates in its 2030 international class.

Reports indicate Pérez is already capable of handling 95–96 MPH velocity at the plate and throwing 88+ MPH across the infield.

Evaluators cite his physical tools and overall makeup, with some projecting he could reach MLB by age 20 if his development stays on track.


Didn't know this was legal. How many 12 year olds can hit 95 mph pitching?

Ben Foster is so great in this movie.

The dialogue between the brothers is perfect too.
Zodiac is my favorite of his movies. I don't know why, but I bet I've watched it 40 or 50 times. Gyllenhaal's Robert Graysmith character's obsession with the nerdy aspects of the case draws me in every time. Robert Downy Jr. plays the Paul Avery character perfectly. The cops make it hard enough for Graysmith to get me frustrated, but his persistence & them being able to eventually see he might actually be figuring some things out, makes the drawn out process worth following.

I watched all of the Swedish versions of Stieg Larsson's "Lisbeth" movies before they made Finchers's English version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I was worried we'd get a watered down version of the movie, but Fincher did a great job with it. The actors were really good too. Stellan Skarsgård playing Martin Vanger was a brilliant casting decision.

If you haven't watched the Swedish movies, you should. That, or reading the books is the only way to really understand the Lisbeth character. The other movies really get into her past and reveal why shes' the way she is. After watching the 'The Girl Who Played with Fire' and 'The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest' on consecutive nights, I was compelled to rewatch the first one. Thinking about this makes me feel like I need to watch all three of the Swedish movies again. They are included with a Prime membership.

Where are you hearing this?

Did he say it?

You can tell who was under age when they saw Alpha Dog. All of the young guys fell in love with her and Amber Heard..

Thanks for posting that video. I'd never seen him before. I assumed he was a big fat guy. When I'd listen, they'd talk about their sponsor's food. They do lunches at various restaurants. Some days they read the whole menu.


Does that girl in the pic with the son need me to console her? I'm real good at that.
