How do you play Double Dash online? (To Midget)

  I was just about ready to post this. It's surprising to me though. I still think he's the best reliever in baseball history.

Nah, I'd still take Mariano over him [/New York Bias]

Batman Returns sucked.

Superman II was alright

X2 was better than I expected, but still bad.

I haven't seen Spidey 2......so I gotta vote for the best one I've seen....SUPERMAN II!

Um, he's the best freakin hitter in baseball ever?

*Don't want to get into Bonds vs. Ruth vs. DiMaggio vs. Williams vs. Random HoF-er here

Come on, how can the Bambino NOT be in?

Babe Ruth (duh)

Joe DiMaggio

How can Tobey keep on going? Isn't his back already screwed up from doing 2?

Spiderman needs the Kingpin, was he in Daredevil (Kingpin, I mean)?

They don't have to make it without Pixar....as I believe they can still make sequels with Pixar, or am I just completely wrong here?

You can make the same argument for Divac as you can for T-Wolves. Cassell is aging, Sprewell is past his prime. The only way I see the T-Wolves going far, is if Wally has a break-out season.

Just getting in the playoffs means making it to the 1st round.....

If you mean advancing, I say no. Spurs, Mavs, Kings, Rockets are now all better.

Didn't see this posted anywhere. Seeing has how I've never seen UFC before, this has grabbed my attention. I'll definitely check out the first couple of shows.

No, Mishmow. Don't even try and put any blame on the soldiers. Whatever your views are, to even suggest that soldiers want to openly shoot civilians and blow up houses is ridiculous.

Poor naiwf....that was the best chance for the Knicks in recent years.

They had a shot in 99, but Duncan just destroyed them

I do agree that you need 2 stars to win a title.....the Pistons this year were just the exception to the rule.

Shaq + Kobe, Jordan + Pippen, Duncan + Robinson, Magic + Worthy, Bird + McHale + Parish.....goes on and on.....

*Dances

Seriously....despite giving up a lot, I love this deal. Hopefully, we can now attract some good complementary pieces.

Is Jim Jackson sticking around? God....I hope so.

I have Marvel vs. Capcom for PS2. Chun-Li and Wolverine rule....

If the Lakers want to honor his request, the Knicks will give them all kinds of bad salaries in exchange. Surely that's just slighly better than Shaq retiring, right?

It's times like these that make me wonder why Jim Dolan & Scott Layden were allowed to run this team. Anyone with half a brain would have been trying to free up cap space over the last 2-3 years to make a run at Kobe (and Shaq by default now). Instead we're capped out for most of the rest of this decade with a stiff like Houston collecting FAR too much money. *sigh*

It's not ALL GM's fault, they've had to take the good with the bad. One thing I'm mad, though, even though I understand why they did it, was taking on Penny Hardaway. He makes a ridiculous amount of money.

Clemens' past I'll give you. Pettite's injuries this year happened from him swinging the bat. That's how he hurt the elbow. The Yanks could definitely use him this year.

←

Bah. I still don't think Pettite is worth the money that he wanted.

Clemens you can't blame. He was set on retiring but he got a chance to play with his best friend in his home town. Pettite should've been locked up way early. The Yankees tried to take advantage of his loyalty and leave him off till the end. There is no way he should've been a free agent at the end of last year. And even then the Yanks were persuing other people like Brown and Sheffield before they even attempted to sign Pettite. If I was Pettite given the circumstances and an offer from my hometown team I would've left too.

←

Clemens has shown that he has completely no regard for loyalty. Red Sox fans should know what I'm talking about.

Pettite - meh. His injury problems prevented the long contract, and even this year, it's been proven the Yankees did the right thing by not resigning him. I sure wish we had Clemens though.

Speaking of loyalty. I'm not a Yankee fan by any stretch of the imagination but I was pretty pissed when they gave Pettite's # this year to Donovan Osborne. Pettite had 8 great years for Yanks and then they show him the door and top that off with this stunt.

←

Well, Pettite and Clemens hardly showed loyalty by fleeing to the Astros.

Still, I agree with you. Especially since Donovan Osborne sucks. Giving Pettite's number to Osborne was pretty disrespectful.

According to ESPN, Shaq might be staying...

←

That has always been a possibility, because he is under contract, and there are not many teams willing to take his mammoth salary.

Bah. Rowan Atkinson should SO play Voldemort.

That guy in the article pales in comparison to Mr. Bean.

Actually, from what I understand, this movie is NOT a direct attack on Bush, as it also criticizes Clinton. Is that true? I have yet to see the movie.

Matt is on the show next week?

Explain.

Rodney Rogers is horrible. If the Nets get rid of Kenyon Martin, don't be surprised to see Jason Kidd go soon after. This team is at a crossroads, and if they can't get Shaq, or resign K-Mart, expect a complete rebuilding stage just in time for their move to NY.
