  1. Cars are made with windshields which render issues like that irrelevant. If the spandex mafia wants it to be irrelevant to them they should keep their distance either behind or to the side. Or they could get a windshield.
  2. Looks like Arab Spring has Sprung
  3. I actually did not write anything about Boston winning in 2008. I prefer not to call these things predictions as they are more an ability to read the script. Your note above sells me short in a few areas but also gave me credit going back too far. All of what I stated can be verified by going through old threads. A lot of it is in threads dedicated to the NBA/NBA playoffs. I believe it started in a regular season thread and my first relevant post was in roughly February 2009. In summary: In roughly Feb 2009 the Celtics had won the Finals the previous year. I stated that the 09 Finals would go to the Lakers over an "upstart" team. I named that team to be either the Hawks or Magic. It turned out to be the Magic. At some point I predicted the series would go 5 games, which it did. I also stated that the Celtics excuse would be an "injury" to a prominent player. Not long later KG got "injured". Still in that thread I believe, I said that the following year the Lakers/Celtics would be in the Finals and that the Finals would go 7 games. I said that game might even be played as a legitimate basketball game but that it would certainly go 7. I said I slightly favored the Lakers in a game 7 but that the Celtics would be allowed to have a chance. Lakers won in 7. I followed up by saying that in the 2011 Finals an unusual team would be allowed to win. Again, i did this in 2009. I did a little speculation at the time but most of it was reserved until the field of 16 playoff teams was set in 2011. At that point I named several teams I saw as "eligible" and tried to zero in on a few. It can be easily documented that my top pick, although not by much, was Dallas. THIS WAS LAUGHED AT. I also mentioned Chicago, Denver, the Knicks who were obviously a major long shot, maybe OKC I can't remember but there was someone else too. It would definitely not be C's Lakers or Heat as you pointed out. I also didn't like the Spurs. The main rationale for me picking Dallas was that Mark Cuban had been quiet for a long period indicating he and Stern had some sort of deal. In addition, Cuban was making guest appearances on ABC's "Shark Tank" cross promoting the NBA on its broadcast network in a way that had to be pleasing to Stern. Do you think Cuban, a major business mogul, enjoyed sitting their as housewives pitched him on ideas like gourmet dog food? I can imagine Stern laughing like crazy at that. Even back in 2009 the 2012 Finals were easy. It was always going to be LeBron and the coming of age was always going to be in the playoffs. There would be doubts sprinkled in and he would overcome stuff like the game 5 loss to Boston and the Bosh injury. This Finals even 3+ years ago was the easiest to figure out from all of them To be fair, Stern fooled me on a few. The most prominent was the landing spot for LeBron. I never really saw Miami coming until late in the process. I had guessed that it would be staying in Cleveland, the Knicks, or the Bulls as my top 3. I probably got out of my realm trying to pick that and Stern did a great job with the hero turned anti-hero turned hero again thing. I am sure I missed a few things in the summary above, but Buftex is right stating I showed the results of four Finals in a row....not 5 though IIRC. From this point forward I am not really sure what I can offer in terms of the future. I am not sure how much longer Stern will be around and it is really all about him IMO. Will he care in his last few years? Will he set up his successor for success or failure? We'll see. If I were forced to make any predictions, and these would be guesses unlike the previous readings of the script, I would speculate two things only: 1. During the next two years the Heat will win another Finals; but not both 2. Somehow, someway before 3 years are out, so by the end of the 2015 season, it will be very clear that the Knicks are on the rise and that their drought will finally be over. At this point I don't see how this can happen but I feel that it will. This all depends on the benevolence of Stern which is like depending n the politeness of Don Rickles, and that is why I am hesitant on both items.
  4. Any way someone can make the world a little smaller like that is pretty cool if you ask me.
  5. Just go back and erase 9 crappy ones. While you're at it erase all your crappy ones and you can re-live your 100th post.
  6. Seriously. Coackroaches are ok to kill but squirrels aren't? Cockroaches aren't even really that fun to kill. They squish and leave a mess in the house. At least squirrels leave a mess in the outdoors plus crows and stuff get to eat while cockroaches just jam up the sewage treatment plant. Anyway, squirrels are jerks. They are always at the window taunting my hamster Sammy. I am judge and jury and the Bently and me are executioner.
  7. What is that supposed to mean?
  8. Was it a 7-11 Spandex or yellow or USPS or a local trendy biz?
  9. Also squirrels but those are mostly for fun because of the way they flip around when they get hit with a Bently.
  10. Next time call in the pros. Track them down from the video I posted.
  11. How much less is enough less? Pot has only ruined millions of lives whereas coke has ruined even more. Therefore pot should be legal. Nice logic congressman stoner.
  12. Take some tips from two people that are a little more masculine than you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIJLzoaksFQ
  13. Big Cat left out that he saw a REALLY big cockroach in the street, screamed like a girl and swerved into the Acura. It was the drivers fault for not braking for scary cockroaches.
  14. The Spandex mafia is gonna getcha.
  15. Really bad farts. I think Tgregg got the idea from a certain spherical poster on this site and gave it to the Batman writers.
  16. Any updates on this?
  17. Just a warning to you all that if you criticize a certain Bob Kraft owned pouch drink on this site your post will be deleted and you could get banned. It makes no sense but it happens.
  18. Sounds like a bunch of pot heads sitting around saying..."dude what if red is really blue and blue is really red?".
  19. Tom was wondering if you have one with Penguins. Rubeo was wondering if you have anything with Pandas Ditka was wondering if you have anything with old broads.
  20. Older woman having not heard from Ditka takes matters into her own hands.... Picture
  21. I didn't read the article but I don't see Harper or Heyward as a skin color. I see them both as people who will get their butts kicked by the WORLD CHAMPION Cardinals. But there is racism in sports. Yes, even on the Bills. Do you think an all pro safety would have been cut if he was a white guy named Don instead of a black guy named Donte?
  22. OK so he was an all pro level with the Bills too. I get it. I just hope if Easley ends up being all pro or all pro level, the Bills don't let him walk like they did Donte.
  23. When I first read the title of this thread I quickly glanced and thought it said : "Whitner Easley". My first thought was that the thread would speculate about Easley being let go and becoming an all pro just like Donte. I have to admit this is a possibility and I hope it doesn't happen again.
  24. Sounds like "rest" isn't the only thing you didn't put it to.
