My heart is just broken over this horrible tragedy in Conn. Evil came into that town and took the innocent. Just a horribly sad day. Thoughts and prayers to the entire community.

I just can't. What an evil individual. **** mentally ill no his ass was just evil. I hope someone burns this cowards corpse. Thenhe framed his brother. He ruined 25 families lives 11 days before Christmas then had the nerve to kill himself. 5 and 6 year olds are dead mothers and fathers are dead for no reason.WWhat makmakes this worse is he killed his mother at their house then came to kill those innocen t25 people. Then she was only a substitute teacher.

That's among the worst things you can possibly do. Taking innocent young lives. After someone mentioned it, I envisioned a young me and my little sister in a situation like that and it scared the living **** out of me. Hell isn't hot enough sometimes.

Evil isn't real, he's just insane.

i am still w/out nash, gasol, amare and k leonard. been winning each week like 7-6. i really thought that if you won the matchup you would get a win, they would get loss. i didnt realize that it was cumulative of all cats you win for the year. i might have changed my strategy so that i was more balanced and not punt assists, 3s and steals in favor of rebounds, o-rebounds, blocks, fg%, fgm and pts. i've won head to head matchup every week but 1, but only one week was it a blowout. all others were close.

you might be getting bynum back soon :lol:

i want to know what happened to swedds team. DFL.

leave it to the GB to ruin an interesting, well-researched thread by lamar.

twolves first team with 5 white guys starting to win a game in the NBA since 1986. kudos to lamar for digging that up. the GB has spent 5 pages arguing that rubio isnt white because he is spanish. [bangs head]

I can't say that I'm a 100% sure, however, it's not easy to name any other team that could have pulled this off. Do you have any ideas, fats? I already sent this to Bill Simmons (I think he would find any '86 Celtics fact interesting) and The Basketball Jones crew, by the way.

I wasn't too surprised over the responses I got. That's the GB for you... Moreover, I suppose not that many people find stuff like this entertaining

North Carolina boy has signed on with an AFL team, still a long way to go before he ever plays a game.

none, he's the first. We've had a few Irish gaelic footballers as its a similar game, otherwise the only other international player I can think of is a Canadian rugby player.

Apart from the guys who were born in other countries and moved to Australia young. Like a reverse Kyrie Irving.
