Just spotted Adreian Payne wandering through City Center. Did I yell "Bring the Payne!" ? No I didn't because I was a starstruck moron. I think he was with Lorenzo Brown, he's the only guy I can't really recognize easily. Both were in full T-Wolves warm-up regalia.

Hey guys, I'm new to this board with this username, so I'll give my intro here. I live in New Jersey, and I've been around RealGM since I was 16 (2006) under the username "Vega06". I used to post, now I mostly lurk, but I've decided to start posting again. I couldn't remember my old password, so I registered with a new account.

Last time I remember posting, Rev was our mod. Randy Foye, Rashad McCants, Bracey Wright, and Justin Reed were Timberwolves. Kevin Garnett had been traded to Boston; the future was bleak. Needless to say, I love what the young guys have shown this season, and I'm excited about the future again with this team. I look forward to posting more often and connecting with the fans here. Go Wolves!

Is there anybody who didn't wake up today thinking "I hope Bob Barker makes a comeback today" ?

Being sick is not fun. On the bright side, I think I slept for at least 20 of the last 24 hours.

Word of warning, they drive on the wrong side of the road over there and they call bumbags "fanny packs" because fanny means an ass over there, not a minge.

We drive on the right side of the road.


Historically speaking, right side driving is not the right side because apparently the Romans drove on the left side of the road.

Where's the best place to sit for a baseball game? I'm heading over to the US in June and want to catch a Red Sox game, I don't want to be spending too much for a ticket, but I also don't want to be sitting behind a pillar lol.

Also how far in advance do you usually have to get MLB tickets? I'd imagine the Red Sox would sell out a lot of games.

I hope this wasn't posted somewhere else already but I found this the other day and thought it's worth sharing. It's a gallery of NBA team logos put on football helmets if they were used by NBA teams.

Some of the designs are really slick. The Wolves one is right around average, I think. My favorite one is the Raptors' logo. That one is really nice looking.

Right next to the concessions stand so you're never running out of beer.

Yeah, the raptors one is pretty sweet. He really missed the mark on some of them, unfortunately, but most are pretty nice. I wonder if the other side of the Wolves helmet would be grey with the black wolf head?

Good point. Would like to see the other side now. Although, having the other side with the colors switched might make it look too busy.

Can't remember the site I got them but I got tickets in Toronto to Yankees-Bluejays, Redsox-Bluejays for like 10 dollars on the days. They were ones you can print out, I'm sure you'll find it if you have a bit of a look around.

Boxing sucks. No wonder people are more interested in the UFC now. That's your mega fight of the century? There was nothing interesting about that.

Game 7 between the Clips and Spurs was infinitely better.

Boxing also bores me to tears. I used to enjoy it back when Tyson was fighting and knocking heads into the 16th row. Mayweather and Klitschko style have really killed the sport in my opinion. I enjoy the UFC from time to time but there's too many fighters who are content with just taking a guy down and laying on him and doing no damage to abuse the scoring system. I actually feel as though kickboxing is far superior to both UFC and Boxing. GLORY and K-1 are the two major organizations
