I'll believe it when I see it. Hopefully Gilbert and Sarver get their heads out of their asses.

It is.

Heard its getting awful reviews..or am I getting trolled?

Because honestly, posters like that are so much worse than ECN and the majority of people here would probably agree. At least ECN is capable of a rational discussion.

People actually stopped posting because of ECN? Get some thicker skin people. Holy shit.

Cain brings more to the table than O ever did in terms of being an unkown. Gingrich isn't the big name in the race but in terms of substance he'd destroy Obama in a debate. It'll end up being Romney either way and those debate's will be fun to watch.

He's got no shot. Voters don't care about that aside from maybe the troops. The country doesn't want Obama care and they're more worried about the economy than anything. When the GOP gets its candidate and the debates begin, that's when you'll see how little of a chance he has. Romney, Cain or Gingrich will annihilate him in any debate.

Bush negotiated this a long time ago. December 31, 2011 was his exit date. Nice timing though O. http://articles.sfgate.com/2008-08-22/news/17123715_1_troop-presence-iraqi-security-forces-major-iraqi-cities

Lol spot on about the Boston stereotype.

Honestly, the weird random shit Warren drops in threads is worse to me than anything ECN does. But its Warren lol.

I like ECN. I called him a [expletive]ing retard the other day but he's one of my favorite posters on here. There's been way worse on here before him.

Ah shit, there goes the only other republican. It was nice not being the villain this time though.

I think they are. They could go as high as number 2 behind NE. All depends on how Palmer plays. They have the best running back in the conference though so he's going to get even more touches with a new QB.

In regards to contraction, the idea will obviously work. A talent like Kevin Love doesn't deserve to be rotting away up there where they have no idea what they're doing. Same goes for CP3.

He's going to be great. Loved him coming out of Mizzou and thought you guys got a steal with him. He'll be on that elite level within 2 seasons.

That was some serious holding right there lol.

That stiff arm was nice. Revis is lucky he held onto Marshall's jersey.

Ray Rice for Megatron..should I do it?

Anyone wanna move this to media?

Notification center is raw. I like Newstand but I agree, the hype over iMessage is way too much. They should've made it more similar to bbm.

Did you not see my point about ending situations like what Melo did last year? Owners like Robert Sarver are bitching and crying but all he had to do was re-sign Amare rather than choose Warrick. Frye and Childress and he wouldn't be complaining all that much. Then you have Dan Gilbert. I don't know how many different trades were on the table to bring in a second star to play alongside LBJ. Names like Amare and other great players but then you go out and get Antawn Jamison? Its no wonder he left...which is why Cleveland is in the position they're in now. If you give up JJ Hickson...JJ Hickson in one of the deals (wasn't he the guy they wouldn't let go?) LeBron probably wins a ring and is still in a Cavs uniform. Toronto had a shot to get Rudy Gay and put him next to Bosh. Does that make them instant contenders? No, but it makes them a top team in the East in the past. Instead they chose Andrea [expletive]ing Bargnani. Portland [expletive]ed up drafting Oden over Durant but they ended up building through the draft and if B. Roy was healthy and at his peak they'd be a contender in the West. They aren't some luxurious destination for players but they have a competent front office. Memphis gives up Pau Gasol in what at time time was an absolute rape but now look who's in the conference semi's with a great shot to become a contender these next couple seasons. Detroit, after making such brilliant moves earlier in the decade, decided they didn't have patience to wait till 2010 and gave absurd deals to Ben Gordon and Charlie V and now they are where they are. Atlanta, aside from giving Joe Johnson that contract, has also built a very good team that almost made the conference finals this year through the draft and trades. Point is..if you draft well you're going to have a shot down the road. Hell, even the Clippers got it right and they'll always be the Lakers' little brother in that city. It also comes down to the front office. Yeah, Pat Riley is a hell of a GM, but there are plenty of other great GM's out there. At the end of the day, if a franchise shows a commitment to winning, spending the necessary money to do so and competent management, players are going to see that put aside the big city bullshit. OKC is the perfect example. Durant sees what they're doing there, he see's the young core they've drafted and knows the future there is bright. He could've easily said na I wanna go play in a bigger market. How many big name FA's were flocking to the Knicks during the 2000's? That's the biggest market in the NBA aside from maybe, maybe LA. It all happened once they got a functioning front office that shit got straightened out and players started seeing the direction they were headed in. Blaming the big market team is a cop out IMO for bad front office and personnel choices made by certain teams.

Fish is definitely right that a lot of them just want to be out there to say that they were there. Also, if you go on youtube its not hard to see that a lot of the people out there have no clue about what they're protesting. Instead of sitting out there, doing nothing at all why not go out and do your best to at least look for a job and quit bitching and doing nothing productive. Sitting there isn't going to get you employed.
