Yes. Quickly became my favourite sports book of all time.

Definitely :lol:

David Thompson/Michael Ray Richardson/Dennis Rodman/Marvin Barnes/Roy Tarpley

and "Fast Eddie" Johnson off the bench

would be the most exciting team on and off the court of all time.

Not the only thing he's the MVP of.

Larry Hughes was cut by the Magic today. We should find a way to trade someone so we can sign him. Larry and Kemba playing together = my god. Throw Higgins in as SF and our tank is invincible.

That has got to be the most disheartening thing I have witnessed to illustrate the basic knowledge of our American students, at least with regard to their own history, geography and simple current events. Good grief! I fear for the future of this country with these brilliant minds in charge.

Depressing but expected. I was in high school only 4-5 years ago and this was the norm. Had one girl in a history class that didn't know who Dick Cheney was. I was the only one in history that knew a Korean War ever took place.

Sad state of affairs.

"Canada ... uhh that's a state, nevermind."

I would pause after every question and ask my girlfriend (notoriously ignorant on American history) if she knew the answer. One stuck out in my mind.

Me: What was the name of the war we fought for our independence?
Her: The...... Wor...ld War?

My goodness. Reminds me of the South Carolina pageant chick.

So I am getting a Blackberry Torch this week (company issued and paid for, not my choice).

Who wants to give me the low down? The good things about it, the bad things about it, what I should do with it etc?
