Re: Off Topic V
Best explanation I've seen, ironically from a Pats site: http://www.patspulpit.com/2013/11/19/51 ... final-play
It's not illegal contact because Brady had left the pocket.
It's not holding because that occurred after the ball had already been thrown.
It's pass interference, IF the ball is catchable. The ref right behind the play likely threw the flag out of instinct, as it certainly appeared to be interference. But after the refs talked it over, they determined that the ball was uncatchable, and thus, no penalty.
I've heard people say Gronk could've caught it, and maybe he could have if Luke and Lester weren't there, he can't just run through them. And if he does, it's offensive interference. There is a pretty big distance between Gronk and Lester, so I assume they looked at that and deemed it uncatchable.

Thanks. That was the type of explanation I was looking for.

Maybe if Mercedes Benz does a longer deal with the Hornets Jordan will rename the arena , Time Warner Cable Arena is a mouth full.....should help get FA's also.... if they do a longer deal with Mercedes Benz, can get 2 endorsements with Jordan Brand and Mercedes Benz which would pay a lot if your a star type player

I know we tend to stay away from real world stuff on the forums but I figured what the hell. Here's a link to a short movie I made last year that I recently got online https://vimeo.com/77869891. Let me know what y'all think.

I'm glad you liked it fats. Sadly the toodles was not intended as an Okafor reference. But I like to thank the Bobcats in all of my credits if possible.
I'm the drug dealer guy. So now you all can see what I look like. Oh man.

Re: Off Topic V
well guys I guess this is it for me
i didn't respond politely. i cant stand a sports forum where you can't make a fun little jab to some self entitled punk on a board who called your city and team trash, losers, bums, garbage etc. this place just isn't for sports fans.
seeya guys (most likely). go Bobcats. go Hornets
KembaWalker,
I am contacting you regarding your conduct on our forums.
Due to your long list of infractions but good conduct on our Charlotte Bobcats Forum, were going to be implementing a "Last Resort" option on your account.
Under this you will be banned from multiple RealGM Forums that you have had problems or have trolled.
Until then, I ask that you only post on our Bobcats, Panthers and Hurricanes Forums.
I will have more details in the coming week.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Howard Mass

Re: Off Topic V
Yeah I thought I saw something on a thread on the Nets board the night we played Brooklyn. Some guy jabbed at us something like "oh god we better not lose to this garbage team" and you responded with "that's what I said when i saw your team was below .500" or something like that.
How does that even rile someone up enough warrant a ban? RealGM is a great place to talk basketball but there are a bunch of softies ruining it by being oversensitive to very minor sarcasm.

pretty cool. i dig their sound. you guys know i am a sucker for a nice long jam. this band reminds me of a cross between the talking heads, stereolab and disco biscuits. if it were up to me, i'd add a 5th member, a tasteful, but talented lead guitarist, so that the grooves have a chance to go somewhere melodically from time to time. and what an appropriate name for a band.
