      - IIRC Xcrock live was down during Xmas 2 years in a row -- nm - scorpion Mar 1, 11:21 2
        
        Even if it was, (I don't recall)....their game system still worked. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:36 1
        
        Multi player would have been out. And Xbox Live is a paid service, PS Network isn't -- nm - scorpion Mar 1, 12:37

ST Poll: Is there a sport you used to be a big fan of and now do not watch at all? Why? - oblique Mar 1, 10:58 23
- Speedway and Boxing -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 1, 11:39
- I don't watch as much of any sport as I used to since The Bub arrived. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 11:21
- I was a big Phillies fan growing up, then a Colorado Rockies fan when they got the team. Lost interest after the strike and haven't looked back. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 11:20
- NBA basketball. -- nm - Callisto Mar 1, 11:13
- hockey. it was totally my single fave sport as a kid, but i lost all taste for it...nm - x Mar 1, 11:11 6
  - come to think of it, baseball was my 2nd fave asd a kid and i hardly watch that at all anymore either....nm - x Mar 1, 11:12 5

    - and when they started wearing helmets? -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 11:13
- Not really, but my NBA consumption is probably 10% of what it once was. (nm) - musubi Mar 1, 11:06 1
  - *raises hand* -- nm - SyrDragon Mar 1, 11:09
- NFL.....I grew up on excellence and for the most part in the salary cap years, that's gone. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:04 3
  - That seems to contradict itself. You complain of the lack of excellence and then say that it's not a coincidence that so many teams have made a run - Jim Mar 1, 11:13 2
    - Not really....it's 1 team a season taking advantage of 26 average to mediocre to bad teams. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:17 1
      - watch some classic NFL replays. those teams were tiny and slow compared to today's. they would get blown off the line -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 11:22
- MLB and the NBA, but I now watch Football and Golf more than ever - MDH Mar 1, 11:02
- jai alai. I haven't been to a fronton in years. I'll never bet on humans again. -- nm - CQ Mar 1, 11:01
- baseball - it basically lost me after the strike. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 11:01
- Nope. My sports fandom has expanded since then, not retracted. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 11:00
- NBA. I started to lose interest when Chuck went to Houston. Once he retired, I didn't care at all anymore. -- nm - Jim Mar 1, 10:59
- hockey - scarcity on TV -- nm - prayformojo Mar 1, 10:59
Three more weeks till it is officially spring. Bring, It, On! -- nm - Andie Mar 1, 10:47 1

This story is just fun. Jordan buys Bobcats, then immediately shows up at practice to challenge the rookies to games of HORSE. -- (link) - TFox Mar 1, 10:44 30
- Undercover Boss! -- nm - Dano Mar 1, 11:16
- "off the Bank of America Tower, through the roof, off the rafters, nothing but net" -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 10:53 1
  - YSMM - SyrDragon Mar 1, 11:11
- It's cute how he took time out of his busy 36 hole days to inflict psychological torment on his employees. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:46 23
  - It's even more cute how he lost both games he played too. -- nm - Jim Mar 1, 11:00
  - You... don't.... dislike Michael Jordan, do you? This is humor? -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 10:48 21
    - Skags didn't name it the Will Hatey Award for nothing -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 10:53 2
      - Sometimes I wish I could go spend a week on back-in-the-day TT. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 10:55 1

    - To be fair, I don't like him. no joke. - musubi Mar 1, 10:53 13
      - [deleted]
      - I never really considered that there were people who didn't like Michael Jordan. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 10:54 11
        
        did you hear his NBA HoF induction speech? - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 10:59
        
        I don't dislike him; I'm just being honest of his performance as a person associated with the hometown team. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:58
        
        I don't know how a fan of any team other than The Bulls coud "like" him. - musubi Mar 1, 10:56 7
        
        I love Lebron. Extremely not a Cavs fan, but Lebron is awesome. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 10:58 6
        
        Lebron cultivates an image of likeability. MJ was a cutthroat assassin. - musubi Mar 1, 11:02
        
        During Jordan's career, I loved him; that greatness is something to behold. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:59 4
        
        Here's my thing: I *never* rooted for Jordan to succeed. Even against other teams. - musubi Mar 1, 11:05 3
        
        I freely admit I was a Jordan fanboy in the same way I like Tiger Woods. They weren't overtly friendly (like Lebron now is), but their greatness was - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:07 1
        
        Let me correct myself: I can see how a person could "like" him on the court. He was great, no question. - musubi Mar 1, 11:13
        
        I understand this for fans of like two teams: Detroit and Cleveland. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 11:06
        
        I don't know the guy. I know his achievements, but I don't know *him*. He hasn't done anything to offend me, so ... he's alright. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 10:55
    - He's been an absent owner there; he was an absent 'GM' here in DC. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:51 2
      - If you buy a team in Charlotte, and you are Michael Jordan, the easiest way to start fixing things is to be around. - TFox Mar 1, 10:53 1
        
        I'm just saying quite simply since I've seen him as part-owner dude in charge of my local team - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:57
    - I think he's an excellent baseball player. -- nm - Will Bunting SI Mar 1, 10:51
- "...then proclaims death upon those who he defeats" - the rest of the story Mar 1, 10:46
- win or lose, you've got to be nervous there about getting cut. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 10:46 1
  - dammit, can't you let me win just this once? -- nm - prayformojo Mar 1, 10:47
I dunno if I was alone in this, but I burst out laughing at Team Canada's penalty killing yesterday - Beryllium Mar 1, 10:44 11
- You undoubtedly deserved that game. The US was lucky to keep it close. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 10:45 10
  - Please. We went to their country, gave them the best players, took them on twice and outscored them overall. - David Mar 1, 10:54 7
    - Kind of like how the NE Patriots were declared co-Super Bowl champs in 2008 because they tied the season series with the Giants, right? -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 10:56 6
      - Like that only better since it was a home turf invasion. -- nm - David Mar 1, 10:57 5
        
        only one country gets their anthem played at the end. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 11:04 4
        
        And it was very generous of us to let that be you, the ones who were outscored and had a worse record. -- nm - David Mar 1, 11:07 2
        
        no matter how hard you try, they're not going to retroactively give the Braves the 91 World Series because they scored more runs than the Twins. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 11:11
        
        stop trying to top pixie -- nm - Roger More Mar 1, 11:09
        
        ...with beavers -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 11:05
  - Ryan Miller is a god. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:46 1
    - He was damn good. (And Hiller vs Miller was fun to watch, too, even though I was rooting for the Finns) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 10:47
two crazy austrians -- (link) - marcel Mar 1, 10:42 [youtube]
mmm, happy family from my favorite Chinese place for lunch -- nm - Dano Mar 1, 10:40
Don Homer: There is a curling center somewhere in Laurel, here's the link -- (link) - MDH Mar 1, 10:38
New TV purchased on Saturday. Sadly, as of right now, it's still in the box :( -- (link) - Shaun Mar 1, 10:35 2
- wow -- nm - zork Mar 1, 10:39
- I'd give you a wiggum for this if this board had such technology. (nm) - David Mar 1, 10:39

*Always* watch the Oscars. This year, the wife and I just need to figure out what our bet should be. - Dr.Vermin, just proud to be nominated Mar 1, 10:32 1
- Just pick the Hurt Locker for everything except actor and you should be fine. :) -- nm - Buzz Mar 1, 10:43
I thought the Long-Track Speedskating Team Pursuit was very cool. That's all. -- nm - Diva Mar 1, 10:32 4
- I *loved* the one where she slid across the finish line to win. -- nm - David Mar 1, 10:37 1
  - that was fantastic. -- nm - Diva Mar 1, 10:39
- It's one thing to watch it on tv with intervals posted regularly, but in the arena, you must think they just saw it as "Tied" the entire race. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 1, 10:33
- the final turn when they swing wide looks very intimidating. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 10:33
Maryland must have the best luck of finding physical freaks that can't do anything especailly well in the actual game. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:29 3
- There was an article about this in MD's paper. They gave the example of Hey-Bey's combine vs. rookie season - MDH Mar 1, 10:39 2
  - Heyward-Bey was the worst draft pick last year the moment he was picked. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:43 1
    - He would have one big catch per game, and that's it. -- nm - MDH Mar 1, 10:49
This is an old blog post, but there's video evidence of Slovakia's 82-0 pasating of Bulgaria in women's hockey -- (link) - Reagen Mar 1, 10:29 28
- [deleted]
- How bad did the US or Canada beat Slovakia? - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:34 25
  - Canada beat Slovakia 18-0. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 10:35 24
    - they need to stop that crap or the IOC will pull the sport -- nm - zork Mar 1, 10:36 23
      - It should be pulled anyhow. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:38 13
        
        I can't argue against that for competitive reasons, but they'll never pull just the women's version of a sport from the Olympics. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 10:39 12
        
        Yeah, I know. It's just bullshit that this stuff has to stay and they cut baseball and softball - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:41 10
        
        Not European enough unfortunately. -- nm - Diva Mar 1, 10:47 8
        
        I think that's a big part of it. If someone other than the Dutch or Italians played it, it might have a better chance. - Reagen Mar 1, 10:48 7
        
        It has to be. The sport is emerging in Asian countries and is a big presence in Latin America. - musubi Mar 1, 10:51 6
        
        You might as well have cricket in the Olympics though -- nm - Roger More Mar 1, 10:56 5
        
        rugby sevens (for 2016) was a good compromise. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 11:13 1
        
        It's worked in the Commonwealth Games format, but really I think it should stay there. - Roger More Mar 1, 11:20
        
        If there's more than say 5 teams good at it, sure. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:00 2
        
        There are about the same number of countries that are good at cricket as are good at baseball. Similar geographic distribution as well - Roger More Mar 1, 11:08 1
        
        to baseball, you can add Italy, Netherlands (if they get Aruba), Mexico and Canada to the list of competitive teams. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 11:16
        
        not enough competitive teams for a summer event plus few outside the US watched it. -- nm - zork Mar 1, 10:44
        
        they got enough flak for not having a women's ski jump event ... - Beryllium Mar 1, 10:40
      - yeah, slovakia! l2play! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 10:38
      - you can't ask them to hold back when it decides home ice advantage. - Reagen Mar 1, 10:38 7
        
        Plus, the argument that the fans paid to see the top team perform, not to rag the puck passing, holds water with me. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 1, 10:41 6
        
        They could have at least tried something cool, like the Knucklepuck. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 10:42 5
        
        I would say Slovakia was pulling people out of the stands to finish this game, but there's no one there. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:44 4
        
        of note for Moose - Bulgaria pulled the goalie at 77-0. It didn't work. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 10:45 3
        
        They used it too late! (nm) - musubi Mar 1, 10:55
        
        (did your bil go to the game?! sorry if you already posted.) -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 10:45 1
        
        haven't heard from him yet. - Reagen Mar 1, 10:47
- The bulgarians didn't seem to fall down; therefore, they did better than I would have -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 10:32
Why will Bruce Campbell excel in the NFL? He has a freakin' chainsaw for an arm! -- nm - David Mar 1, 10:28 2
- "excellent swim move technique. He's just cutting up defenders out there." -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 10:30 1
  - Nobody, and I mean *nobody*, can do a chop block the way *he* can -- nm - zork Mar 1, 10:35
Love Letters response to Queen of Bad Timing: - Diva Mar 1, 10:28 2
- This is the first time I've disagreed with Meredith. (nm) - musubi Mar 1, 10:59
- i don't see any harm (save potentially losing the "friend"ship) in telling, but i'm not sure i would do it while he was dating someone else - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 10:30
[deleted] 5
- Our Mrs. Reynolds is a personal fave. -- nm - Shaun Mar 1, 10:34
- I think I know what you're talking about and why you asked. If they're the original DVDs and not copies then watch them in order. -- nm - Diva Mar 1, 10:30
- The FOX network thinks there's no particular order, but they're living in a dream world. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 10:29
- I'd go from the first one until the last one, but that's just me -- nm - CQ Mar 1, 10:28
- The order that they appear on the discs. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 1, 10:25
