  1. i think you meant to say world's greatest grandson.
  2. i think the main reason is so there won't be any missed games because another team is already playing a game being aired on the same channel at the same time. this happens on both fsw and fxp, especially in april (basketball and hockey playoffs, baseball season getting underway) and sept (baseball playoffs and college football). ideally, if enough teams left fox sports and created their own network ala the lakers, ucla, usc, and dodgers, it'd leave fsw and fsp to the angels, kings, and ducks, and ultimately there'd be fewer broadcast interruptions.
  3. uh oh. you're not supposed to know about that. here, let these two gentlemen from arte's stadium security team help you.
  4. yeah, reggie is a pretty arrogant guy. i met him once, and he was a clown. he's also not very tall. i think i could've taken him. remember how fans would throw quarters to him in right field after he hit a homer? that was . . . bizarre. whoever mowed right field after the game must have been pretty pissed about mowing over all those coins.
  5. espn said that reportedly there's an opt-out option after 4 years.
  6. I'd keep the extra point, but I like xbooms idea of making it more challenging.
  7. i like his attitude and hope this season it helps him get back to destroying the other team at the plate.
  8. "The fact is that his arm is most likely made out of the same stuff they make sugar free gummy bears out of, and his pitching will probably lead to the same “intestinal Armageddon” as ingesting those little buggers." standing ovation, nate.
  9. "If a terrorist group no matter what group it is, chechen, Al Queda, etc. attacks the opening ceremonies or a certain game which results in multiple countries affected, would the world as a whole finally join together to stand up against global terrorism?" i doubt it. i would expect the russian military/security forces to be very heavy handed in dealing with any of these possibilities.
  10. reading this thread made me wonder about all the work and prep time that goes into the amateur draft every june. the volume of scouting reports must be mind boggling. i'm not very familiar with our minor league system, but i appreciate those who put in the work to compile these lists. thanks.
  11. jack nicklaus once had a 10 on a hole during the british open. a reporter asked him how he shot a 10. he replied "because i missed a 3-footer for 9." that's about the best answer you can give in a moment like that.
  12. 41 pages in and still no decision. this guy better sign soon or chuck's gonna run out of bandwidth.
  13. i like leno's monologue, and the schtick after the monologue before the first guest comes out is also entertaining. as an interviewer, he started off extremely poor and often looked like he was in above his head. he's calmed down and matured over the years to where he conducts a decent interview now, but nothing that really is insightful or different. having said that, i like that he frequently finds someone's first commercial or acting gig and shows the clip. conan's stand up is good, though he tends to wander all over due to his ADHD. his skits are terrific and i like his interviews. his helter skelter mannerisms seem to work most of the time. kimmel is smooth, his stand up is excellent, and his sketch's work very well. as an interviewer, i think he's the best of the group. i started watching him a few months ago and have enjoyed what he does. i'll be watching him at 11:35, if and when i watch. fallon's stand up routine is hard to watch, mostly because he isn't funny and so much of it is forced. it's been so poor that i haven't ever stuck around for what he does after that. i have no idea what kind of interviewer he is. i'll probably watch an episode or two of the tonight show just to see if he can change my mind, but i don't expect that he will. i think he's a terrible choice to replace Leno.
  14. He's not funny. I have no intention of watching. Been watching some Jimmy Kimmel to prepare for the switch in a few weeks.
  15. When you've calmed down in 3 or 4 days and reread your posts, you'll see what the rest of us have seen.
