The Empire Strikes Back

Waldini:

Now I know you saw 'Mamba' go off for 98 in his past 2 games. You dontthinkhe's teed off after being suspended by the league. On a side note, Kwame is starting again and posted a double double in one game.

Gangsta D:

Dude I saw the game against the Clippers. He had 10 at halftime. In the third qtr, he went OFF. He hit like 5 3's in a row from just ridiculous distance. Even the Clipper's announcing team had to give it up. He was just throwing up crazy shots. If Lamar can figure out his role, we'll be OK.

I just saw that we play the Cavs this January. So you know what that means. Kobe's gonna get hurt again and miss 10-12 games just like the last two years:)

Waldini:

Is it this Thursday or next Thursday they play? I know it's on TNT and I have been waiting for the day that Kobe and Lebron play one another for a full game. We've already seen D-Wade, T-Mac, and Penny's best against #8, now I wanna see #23.

Gangsta D:

It's this thursday, but it doesn't matter because Big Z is gonna inadvertantly hit Kobe with an elbow, knocking him to the floor, causing him to break his wrist when he lands. Just accept it. cleveland is Kobe's kryptonite:)

Waldini:

You have jinxed the Lakers and now Kobe will be hurt. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW, j/k Read more!

Ron "New" Mexico

Da Realist:

SHOULD marcus vick have been kicked off the team for speeding and driving w/o a license? i only ask because i visited v-tech this year and i told y'all how uncomfortable we felt there. i wonder if v-tech has less patience with black players or is this a legit reason to kick someone off the team.

Gangsta D:

It was an accumulation thing, not just the recent problems. He got suspended for his first game, was suspended all of last year, and his recent troubles; all this added up.

Da Realist:

makes sense. but let's not discount the fact that he was somewhat exposed this year. if he had the kind of career his brother had, do you think he would have been kicked off?

Waldini:

If Vick had taken them to a BCS bowl, he would have just gotten probation, 100 hrs of community service, and given a public apology to Lousville, the athletic department, Dumervil and Dumervi's family, etc.... Read more!

Young Vince

Waldini:

So he made it official....now the big question, where does he go?Unofficially, Houston has said that they will still take Reggie Bush andwill give Carr the extension.And how do you think he will do? I'm still not sold on the throwing motionbut he did slightly change my perception of him with his Rose bowlperformance.

Gangsta D:

Get used to that release, cause Mel thinks the Titans are taking Vince at #3. Steve may be done for in Titan Land.

Waldini:

Pasquerelli is saying Steve is leaning towards deferring his bonus and staying on. If that;s the case, then Vince will be mentored by his idol (just like Steve was mentored).

Da Realist:

they're good friends anyway. steve has been mentoring vince the last couple of summers. Read more!

Who You Wit?

Da Realist:

who ya got tonight?http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/stewart_mandel/01/03/why.texas/index.html

Gangsta D:

'SC by 10.

Waldini:

Mandel failed to mention that Troy Smith wasnt the starter of that Ohio St-UT game (Justin Zwick was). He also failed to mention that Ohio St in 2003 had a tougher schedule than Texas in 2005. We can throw team defense rankings, stats, etc all over the place but bottomline, that 'SC offense is a beast. I say USC wins b/c I dont see UT holding Leinart, Bush, White and Co below 31 points (which I said is the benchmark for beating USC).

Da Realist:

stewart missed a lot of things. but the biggest exclusion...miami was still one late flag away from winning the game anyway. i agree with d. sc by 10. Read more!
