Apologies if you even care...<BR/><BR/>Noah both looked terrible and great at the same time, if only because he looked absolutely hideous, but it still sort of fits his personality. I won't go as far as Dan, but I'll say that Noah has the personality and goofiness to pull off a cross between Troy Polomalou (sp?) and Pee Wee Herman... still, would've been cooler to go all out and do the Dumb & Dumber look... <BR/><BR/>Cycle is right about the MLB rule. If the Yankees would've only scored 1 run in that inning, it would've been moot, but since they scored enough to tie or take the lead, then the game is suspended and will resume from the point it left off. I do find it hard to believe though that the Yankees have no more games in Baltimore this year... how can that be?<BR/><BR/>I was happy though seeing golden boy Jared Dudley going as high as he did, even if it was to Charlotte. He should at least get some PT there, even if it's as a solid 6th man. Also happy to see disgraced boy Sean Williams going to New Jersey. I think that's a perfect fit so long as he can mature a little. He plays above the rim, and can block and alter shots on the defensive side, he'll do very, very well in NJ. <BR/><BR/>Last one for now, but I'm sort of indifferent about the Celtics move. I think it makes them a playoff team of the 6th/7th spot variety, but not really anymore of a force. Getting rid of Wally was great, and I don't see Delonte ever becoming more than a solid bench player on a good team, or a decent starter on a bad team. And there really wasn't anyone still available at 5 that would've really helped them, right?ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-29288272764732753832007-06-29T12:00:00.000-04:002007-06-29T12:00:00.000-04:00Brian,The suspended game has to do with the fact t...Brian,<BR/>The suspended game has to do with the fact that the visiting team took the lead or tied the score in the top half of the inning. As CMFOST posted, before 1980, it just reverted back to the last complete inning.<BR/><BR/>If there was no subsequent series scheduled with the O's, it would only be made up if they could fit it in on an off day or after the season if it affected the playoffs. Similar to any other rainout. I guess if they never complete the game, then it gets wiped from the record books but I am not positive on how individual stats are handled.CycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-68750245401790767212007-06-29T11:44:00.000-04:002007-06-29T11:44:00.000-04:00noah was original only if youve never seen andre 3...noah was original only if youve never seen andre 3000 at any awards show ever. the only difference is that noah can't pull it offking of the herculoidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16460016643422629031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-51987736298360121692007-06-29T11:38:00.000-04:002007-06-29T11:38:00.000-04:00Sure, Noah might have looked straight out of a KFC...Sure, Noah might have looked straight out of a KFC commercial to Miss'ippi circa 1952, but the fact he even went there takes a bit of moxie, considering how dread-bland some of the others were.

Argh, not that he's on par with millen (or Ainge or King, but sheesh). The Celtics move was okay, but it was a job saver, not a title contender. As for Phoenix, I don't even know what they heck they were doing, especially with some of the guards left on the board.

I also have to sorta agree with Dan on how great the gators starting five was. Do I think they will be great pro's? Maybe but were they a great COLLEGE starting five? Yes. Maybe not the greatest since it really is personal opinion. Yes those UCLA team of the mid 60'd to 70's won back to back to back but did they ever do it with the SAME starting five? I really don't know but I do know that Green, Horford, Brewer, Humphrey and buck tooth Noah did something amazing the last two years. Yes, I am a UF alum but give some credit where credit is due. Thy embodied the notion of playing as a team. Their respective NBA teams are all better for having them even if they don't contribute stats because they put team first and themselves second. Best part is my new job in Chicago does functions for all the teams in town so maybe I can sport my orange and blue when we cater something.The heroin sheikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860402732123149415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-42657420203181039442007-06-29T11:09:00.000-04:002007-06-29T11:09:00.000-04:00NFL Europe Folds!Now how are the 10,000 European f...NFL Europe Folds!<BR/><BR/>Now how are the 10,000 European football fans suppossed to get their football fix?Trey (formerly TF)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16016679366233865869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-77132977436814917102007-06-29T10:50:00.000-04:002007-06-29T10:50:00.000-04:00cmfrost-I totally agree with you on the Ray Allen ...cmfrost-<BR/><BR/>I totally agree with you on the Ray Allen trade. Apparently Dan has forgotten how much the East SUCKS right now. Adding Allen automatically makes the C's a playoff contender. Plus, they didn't really give up much- they're full of developling young players, so they the #5 pick wasn't too helpful. Wally's decent but Delonte is going to get killed in the West. The acquisition of Allen makes them a better team now and keeps them in the running for KG.<BR/><BR/>I'm just sad that Noah's dad wasn't in the audience.
