There is free agency thread for that. Green, West, Landry, Gray are UFAs. You haven't even included best received Rocket, Scola. IM ready to answer in the FA thread if necessary.

Apparently because of crammed season, teams will be able to dress 13 players instead of 12. If they have so many of course.

When David Stern says there's going to be a nuclear winter, I'm thinking the season isn't starting anytime soon," World Peace said. "So a little more martinis in November and then, boom, David Stern says no nuclear winter and we have a season

I've been playing Skyrim too, ot's such a blast. The game is just so immersive it's ompossible to stop playing once you've started.

@penguin - some of your stories about skyrim are top notch. i just finished the main thieves guild quest where you have to return the key. now i just have to do all the side missions to be guild master.

i had a few points in the game around level 18ish, when got to the very back of a massive cave only to find some foe i could not take down. that was when i had lydia as my companion who just sucked balls. so i backed out of those caves and vowed to come back stronger. and i fired lydia and picked up the mercenary female elf in whiterun at the drunken hunstman. she is much more badass. anyway, i went back last night to all the places that kicked my ass at level 18, now level 25. those were some good fights, but i won (after a few deaths, trying different tactis etc). except the really hard battle, i was on a ledge and every time i killed the guy i needed to guy he would go flying off the ledge falling down like 200 feet into a who knows where. so i had to redo it a few times to get him to die in front of me.

i've enjoyed getting dragons to follow me into towns. i had a dragon follow me from winterhold up to the mage college where he got destroyed by like 5 mages who were all out in the courtyard. another time i led a dragon to a giant camp where the giants pounded it.

one of my favorite things to do is to go waterfall surfing. i find a big nice river with lots of great waterfalls and i just go with the flow over the waterfalls. its a fun way to travel. the stretch from markareath (something like that) down towards the lover stone is some good waterfall surfing.

now i an jonesing to play again.

Edit: Is anyone here watching current season anyway?

Yes I am watching. I thought the season started out good, but like last season it has gone downhill VERY fast once the merge happened. Bringing back returning players has hurt the game because they understand how important tribe loyalty is, which makes it difficult for unpredictable situations. After the merge, you knew where everything was headed. :sleep:

If you can check out Ponderosa on cbs.com and see what happens when Cochran arrives. :lol:

But I don't think you can watch it on cbs.com because you don't live in the US so you might have to find it on youtube.

last year and this year have been boring because rob and coach have just absolutely owned the noobs. and ozzy is damn near unbeatable in challenges. and all this love/praying/honesty stuff is so annoying.

In fairness to coach he has stepped up his game and is playing similarly to the way B-Rob played last season. Coach used to be a big tool but now he is almost likable. But Ozzy, he is a complete idiot so if they bring former survivors back they need to stick with the Ozzy types.

Life at Ponderosa for Cochran...

All the cool kids won't sit with him. :lol:

Hanging out in NYC...

Anybody watch The Big Bang Theory? I just started watching it in syndication on TBS and I can't get enough of this show. Well written and incredibly hilarious.

wow, what a coincidence. i always kinda brushed off this show the past few years, but i started watching it last weekend and ive watched like 10 episodes this week. really funny stuff. sheldon is awesome. its not yet in my top 5 current sitcoms but its close

1. sunny in philly - this season has been a little disappointing, perhaps they have run out of stuff
2. parks and rec - closing in fast on the top spot. its been consistently the funniest show this season.
3. workaholics - the newcomer. getting funnier each episode.
4. modern family - still solid, but losing some steam
5. family guy - fading fast, not nearly as funny as it was
6. office - how the mighty have fallen
7. big bang - could be top 5 by next week.

I don't watch any of those shows. Office and family guy I might have seen 5 times total. But I might have to start watching your top 3 since you say they are just as good if not better than The Big Bang Theory. I started watching TBBT about a month ago and my DVR is filled to the brim with this show. I heard that the first couple of seasons were a lot better than this one and that's what I'm watching. I saw the new episode Monday and it wasn't that good although there were still some funny lines. Not really digging the Amy character Mayim Bialik (Blossum) she is kind of Debbie Downer and kills everything. Love love love Raj and Howard and of course Sheldon. :lol:

Leonard is OK, same with Penny but she's smoking hot so she gets a pass on her bad acting. But the writing is incredible and Sheldon delivering them is hilarious. Howard and Raj are sooooo funny but I heard in the newer episodes they don't give them a lot of screen time which SUCKS. I love Sheldon but it can't be all about him.

I love Sweet Genius!

Chef Ron Ben-Israel :lol:

I haven't seen any new shows recently, either I'm forgetting when they're on or there aren't new ones. Cupcake Wars is the one show I haven't watched, probably because my DVR can't handle anything else!
