I would LOVE to see Pacquiao knock Mayweather fat head out.

Marbury and Z-Bo reunion. I like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaVa6NHwUUg

Hey Guys -- is the Panthers/Dolphins game this Thursday going to be on local TV?

I see it's being broadcasted on NFL Network for the country...

The gf found a kitten at Walgreens yesterday and brought him home. Since I was watching the 55 point night when he came through the door, I've been calling him Jennings. I think we're going to keep him, it makes me really miss Sajak though.

Any name suggestions?

I checked his pre-draft profile on nbadraft.net and this striked me: NBA Ready 6/10

! - I admitt I didn't expect him to be good and didn't care much because we were drafting later and didn't need a PG (yeah it looked like we didn't).

I remember hearing about Jennings' inability to shoot........................ guess they were wrong?

Hey who was the guy saying that Jennings was gonna be a stud on our draft thread as he fell and fell....

Oh yeah, me.

i say you name him LOLcat

I thought about Lolcat too, but I thought it would be too weird to suggest that:) And ever weirder to call a cat this name.

And since this off topic thread, the name finding it reminded the very last aired episode of The Amazing Race - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SutTvIPpBc (name finding at 3:27). Globettroters are hilarious.

When, or how, did Will Bynum become so good? I didn't expect this after watching him at GT.

Post #953 » by **fatlever** » Mon Nov 16, 2009 6:15 pm

Can anyone tell me how to make images that I find on the net and want to use in my GT's that are really big small when I post them into the thread?

I'm working on the Raps GT for next week but most of the images are huge and it's messing with my groove.

chabber · Post #957 » by **chabber** » Wed Nov 18, 2009 5:59 pm

You will want to save the picture to your hard drive first. Then you can open it in paint. I'm assuming you don't have a program like photoshop. Go to the Image drop down menu at the top and click on stretch/skew. Now just reduce the Stretch % for the horiz and vert the same amount so that the image doesn't distort. When it is at a manageable size just save the file and upload it to an image hosting site like photobucket or imageshack.

Or you can try a site like this.

http://www.resizr.com/

Pretty simple. Just put in the url of the photo. Upload it and drag the bar back an forth to change the picture size.

Thanks again...................and those who wont have to put up with massive pics in my GT thank you as well.

Well where is it?

Post #960 » by **BigSlam** » Wed Nov 18, 2009 8:08 pm

I start to make my GT's about a week out from the actual game when I have down time then add to them as I go saving them as a draft each time.

I'll put it up a day or two before the game.
