Wally, I came here to start this exact thread.

Have a great retirement Tim. May your prostate keep your pants leg wet and I hope the kids in your neighborhood stay on your lawn!

As for boobsie and the rest of you Bashing baseball... Have fun watching the high intellect sports of NBA and NHL.

Dude - you truly do not know what the fock you are talking about. Lake Austin homes are some of the most sought after homes in the state. Lake Travis is suffering from the drought. Lake Austin is not.

That said... The rumor I heard here in Austin was that terry was in town condo shopping for one of the kids.

Of course, I have nothing to substantiate that because it is merely a rumor.

Oh, someone wants to kill M. Let me take her to an abandoned home in the middle of nowhere without backup or ordinance.

Instead of hiding there, lets send a signal to the bad guys to let them know where were are and lure them into our trap.

Had high hopes. They weren't even remotely met.

This is dead on. Skyfall seemed like a grown-ups Home Alone.

It's a shame they are wasting Daniel Craig on such crappy story lines.

than he did his own aunt and uncle?

I've watched Star Wars at least a dozen times... and I just realized that he gave two shits when he saw bar-b-qued Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru. But as soon as old hermit Ben gets taken out by the freak in the black mask, he's all like, "I'm so sad. I really loved that guy."

wtf?

the crew came out saying that the movie is bs and everyone hated Phillips and he was the one that allowed them to be captured

---

No -- only PART of the crew is saying this. The same part of the crew that filed a lawsuit almost immediately after the incident. The debate has been a 4 year court battle with two very differing opinions/sides. Again, not all of the crew is saying the same thing.

Captain Phillips was interviewed and said himself that the movie takes certain liberties here and there -- but for the most part, it is accurate. He said the most inaccurate thing was the intensity of the situation -- the movie does a great job but really doesn't come close to the intensity in real life.

Sorry -- no link to his interview. I can't remember what TV show I saw it on.

As for the movie -- I enjoyed it. Great story, great acting. Who gives a shite if some of the people involved are suing the shipping company because they feel they are entitled to lots of money because they got boarded by pirates.

i saw enough of this a-hole on saturday thanks to CBS. please no more

let me start with... I do NOT know this guy, I am not related to this guy, and I am definitely NOT that guy.

BUT, he is at EVERY LSU home game and stays until the very end. He cheers as loud as anyone... sure, he dances like MC Hammer with an extra chromosome. But, in general really tries to fire up the student section.

Why so much hate for this guy? He's just having fun at the game. He is exactly what all of those shitty threads on the Rant are claiming the student section "used to be like". I'm sure he knows more about the difference between the Dougie and the Cupid Shuffle than he does a 3-4 and 4-3 defense... but hell, at least he's out there enjoying the game till the end.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

it will certainly take this stance

I saw it last night. There was nothing in the movie which tried to get you to feel sorry for the pirates.

If you want to see an action flick... This isn't it. If you want to see a gripping story with fantastic acting, go see this movie. Truthfully, I could have waited to see this at home. That said, it goes on my list " of movies that I will always stop to watch when I'm looking for something to do and see this movie is on TV".

Watching the replay, I don't see how the ump could call him safe. Is there another angle from above showing no contact with the glove?

---

All of this debate on the tag... not one mention of how beautiful of a play that was by Beltran. That video is a perfect example of the outfielder setting up to make a throw and executing it perfectly.

And, Ellis' elbow did hit the wrist band of the catcher's mitt. Not easy to see with the angle of video, but a tag was made.

Wish we had a video / gif of this.

can't find Beasley... but this one seems topical.



ETA: and... here's crappy quality video. That's some weak punches. Too bad, this thread actually had me interested in the NBA for a few minutes.
Beasley's weak punches

Change it to "I don't know dick about how to ________ or ___________, but LSU is doing it wrong."

And that pretty much sums up the Tiger Rant.

This thread just got truth.
