      - Ferell is the guy plotting for months beforehand. AND gets stuck as "IT" at the end of the month as well. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 27, 16:47 3

Tampa Bay is such a weird team this year. Dead even in goals for/against, with the top two scorers, and just about dead last in the standings. -- nm - Reagen Apr 27, 15:58
So, Rutgers was like the best team in the east, right? - Will Hunting Apr 27, 15:50

Here is Nate Robinson's shot to send the game into double OT -- (link) - Beaker Apr 27, 15:38 10
- It was a great game but that was a lucky shot. Let me guess, he called glass. - Krusty Apr 27, 15:57
- I hate that guy. - Will Hunting Apr 27, 15:40 6
  - that shot may have been a piece of crap that went in, but he had a HUGE game today...nm - x Apr 27, 15:49 5
    - He was lights out today. Everything he put up seemed to go in. -- nm - Krusty Apr 27, 15:59 2
      - he basically didn't miss until steve kerr said he was having one of the great playoff games of all time (?), and then he went 0-3 and fouled out...nm - x Apr 27, 16:16 1
        
        The funny thing was, that was when I turned the game on and thought, "He is having a bad game." - Spawn Apr 27, 16:41
    - Maybe, but he's a guy who's always played 'dumb' but has a few games a year that everything goes right and he's celebrated. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 27, 15:51 1
      - well, today was that day. and if you're gonna do it, a game where you go up in a playoff 3-1 instead of ending 2-2 is the place to do it...nm - x Apr 27, 15:52
- "Nate Robinson torched the Nets! I haven't seen a little man carry that much responsibility since Frodo Baggins left the Shire!" -- nm - budice Apr 27, 15:40
- sorry, to give them the lead... -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 15:39

- Where did you get the slice? There are too many mediocre places these days. - Krusty Apr 27, 15:55 4
  - I didn't even notice the name. It was a few blocks down from Borough Hall. - ty97 Apr 27, 15:59 3
    - You were so close to good pizza but you chose poorly. :-) - Krusty Apr 27, 16:06 2
      - A little stalking tells me it was this place - ty97 Apr 27, 16:18 1
        
        Gets good ratings and people seem to like it. Maybe you just caught a bad pie/slice. Sorry. I hope it was still better than McDonald's. :-) - Krusty Apr 27, 16:30

  - I'm from Chicago. Thin crust pizza? No thanks, I'm from Chicago. -- nm - Julius Pepperwood Apr 27, 16:05 1

The Marlins have scored 59 runs thru 23 games. Pitchers against them basically turn into Cy Young winners. - Will Hunting Apr 27, 15:29 2
- 5 of the last 7 NL Cy Young award winners had ERAs higher than the total ERA against the Marlins this year. - Jelly Apr 27, 16:12 1
  - If you remove their 3 high games of the year 8-8-7, they're down to 36 runs in 20 games. - Will Hunting Apr 27, 16:23
I'm catching up on the following. I'm thus far able to suspend disbelief. it's pretty okay. -- nm - amanda Apr 27, 15:25 3

  - the only time it makes sense is in wrestling if you are facing the Iron Sheik -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 14:59 7
    - Olympics. In that contaxt it's not really different from "Aussie aussie aussie! Oy oy oy!" -- nm - Roger More Apr 27, 15:30 1
      - Is that a chant, or mating call? - tl Apr 27, 16:56
    - I remember on RAW a long time ago, they were in Toronto. Hacksaw Jim Duggan started the USA chant and everyone was just like 'WTF? Is he that dumb?' -- nm - Shaun Apr 27, 15:28
    - It could be the only chant wrestling fans can memorize -- nm - CQ Apr 27, 15:00 3
      - That's a bloody lie! - Will Hunting Apr 27, 15:24 1
        
        *laughing* -- nm - CQ Apr 27, 15:36
      - cause soccer fans aren't known for their hooliganism -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 15:01

    - it is very relavent. It is like hockey fans chanting USA at an American team made up of 90% Canadians -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 15:27 1
      - Or playing the US anthem before a hockey game. - tl Apr 27, 16:31

    - [deleted] 4
      - If he doesn't get another NFL job after getting cut, he'll still have a great second career. -- nm - Tim Apr 27, 15:15 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I would think he understands that this is part of the game. -- nm - Tim Apr 27, 16:01
        
        Especially punters. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Apr 27, 15:50
    - (And he did tweet to not hate on the guy they drafted.) -- nm - Tim Apr 27, 14:51
*punches B2* -- nm - LaGarrette Blount Apr 27, 14:20 1
