Ugh. I hate being sick. Woke up at 6 with a fever and everything in pain. Fuck my life.

Ya know.. as much of a Prima donna as I think Lebron is.. the only thing more childish is the Cleveland fans.. or the owner. No wonder he left…. bunch of fairweather drama queens.
Totally disagree with you. I think LeBron did it all wrong. Wrote about it the other night.
He needs to learn how to be an adult.

He’s 25….and has never really had responsibility. Who’s gonna teach him to grow up? Kid’s got it all and frankly I think the arrogance is just part of his personality. Never been a Lebron fan, and I don’t like Kobe either. Come to think of it, the NBA is pretty awful. I really only watch college ball.
I don’t think its “arrogance” as much as it is being completely inside his own world. He’s been in a bubble since he was 15 years old. I legitimately think he has no idea of how anything else works.

Aren’t there related examples of young athletes that don’t make similar mistakes?
I’m not willing to let LeBron off because of his age. Small mistakes, sure. But this was a biggie, and someone should have stopped him.
Let’s see how LeBron acts from here forward. Most folks have forgotten Kobe’s problems a few summers ago in Denver, for example.

Typically though, we don’t start with athletes like that until they’re a little older. A guy like LeBron has been in the media since he was a Junior in high school and ESPN was putting his games on the tube. Remember the whole Hummer thing?

I wonder how LeBron would have turned out if he had worked for Ted instead of someone else. Granted, Ted isn’t responsible for the behavior of the athletes who play for him, but I’d like to think that he would have steered him to people who gave him better advice. Of course, you can get the best advise in the world, but if you don’t listen to it, it’s not worth much.

I’ve tried, in order, Flute (made me incredibly faint, never did get the breath control down), recorder and ocarina (same problems), violin (really bad teacher who refused to teach me to tune the instrument and tried to force me to learn the mexican hat dance when I said I wanted more classical stuff), piano (my hands are too small) and harp (my wrists can’t handle the repetative stress).
In the middle of all that, I did choir and that was pretty good. Also, my father in law gave me a mountain dulcimer and that is actually fun to play. I’m looking at getting a strumstick though. I think that would work even better for me. Anybody know about these?

Drummer here. I graduated last year with a music degree in recording, but haven’t done much with it. I was in a band, but I stepped down when I thought I’d be moving back to MD. That didn’t happen, so I’m looking for a place to live at the moment, and the drums have been on the backburner for now. As soon as I get settled again, I’ll pick them back up.
I majored in Tuba, minored in Flute, learned pretty much all of the band/string instruments. I’m trying to find some folks to gig with, but tubas aren’t in high demand at all.
I dabble with Banjo, and I have a minor in Piano, but I blow at it.

I started with flute then moved on to alto sax. Later I played guitar. I haven’t played any of those in many many years though. I don’t even own a flute or sax, and I suspect that if I were to pick up my guitar and try to strum anything, the stings would break. Plus, trying to tune an electric guitar with a floating bridge is a pain, and I’m willing to bet money that my guitar is nowhere close to being in tune.

I don’t want to ask directly, but I suspect part of it was that early on in BSH history he was one of the few regular commenters and he made the comments section go. How do you boot your biggest contributor? It doesn’t look good and won’t help your numbers. Now they have a few regulars who are pretty good, and a lot more people that at least chip in volume. He’s become expendable and their comment discussions are more focused and rational without him so it made sense to do.

Basically he had a second account “MarioDi” and they ended up banning it because he was being an ass. Then he disappeared for a while and came back as “MarioD” and Geoff, Travis, and Ben decided “fuck it, it was better when he was gone.” So no incendiary moment that did it, they just got used to the tranquility when he was gone.

Shit, y’all. Steinbrenner died. I didn’t like the guy, still don’t, but wow.
On the Forecheck: preaching the Predators' gospel to the unwashed masses.
Baseball and sports in general just wouldn’t have been the same for me growing up if it weren’t for him. As an Orioles fan, the sheer magnitude of the energy I put into hating the team he fielded, year in and year out, fueled my love of the game. It started, eventually, to become more fun to root against the Yankees than for the Orioles. In sort of a back-asswards way, Steinbrenner made me love baseball more for being the man behind the Evil Empire’s curtain.
Eat, drink, and be merry! And then drink some more.
I don’t like the Yankees, or baseball really, but I would love to have an owner like that. He’d do anything to help the team win, and that’s all you can ask of the owner, right?
Sometimes you need a criminal lawyer, sometimes you need a criminal lawyer.
And in his later years, say the Torre era, I think Steinbrenner learned to channel that desire to win into hiring the right people. I hope Danny S. can learn that.

The Yankees have made TONS of FA boners during the Steinbrenner era…they just have such a favorable salary structure that they can afford to make dumb mistakes year after year and still win. Not like that in a capped sport.

Agreed. It wasn’t always the smartest, I’m just saying that you knew every year he was going to try to make the team better and would spend like hell to do it. Easy to do when you have the YES network though.
Sometimes you need a criminal lawyer, sometimes you need a criminal lawyer.
That was the biggest part of hating him, though: that he was playing by the rules. MLB doesn’t have a salary cap, so he said, fuck it, I’m building a multi-billion-dollar empire and spending my way to the top. The extra cherry on the fuck-you-sundae the Yankees constantly sent my way is that Angelos was no stranger to over-spending to bring high-priced FAs to the O’s, he just really, really sucked at it. Albert Belle and David Segui != Alex Rodriguez and CC Sabathia.

Found it:
Belle’s White Sox contract had an unusual clause allowing him to demand that he would remain one of the three highest paid players in baseball. In October 1998, Belle invoked the clause, and when the White Sox declined to give him a raise, Belle immediately became a free agent. Belle again became the game’s highest paid player, signing a five-year, $65 million ($84,860,749 in current dollar terms) deal with the Baltimore Orioles. However, Belle ended his career just two seasons later, retiring at age 34 as a result of degenerative osteoarthritis in his hip. However, he was kept on Baltimore’s active 40-man roster for the next three years, as a condition of the insurance policy which largely reimbursed the Orioles for the remainder of Belle’s contract.
Albert Belle homered in the final at-bat of his major-league career on October 1, 2000.

People hated Steinbrenner when he was just buying every free agent around without consideration of team dynamics.
The recent teams have had better team dynamics. The one kink might have been the ARod trade, but I think there was some aspect to that trade of preventing the Red Sox from getting him.

Wow.
He went to the same college as I did. When I was a freshman, I was sitting in the stands watching football (my freshman roommate was a tailback) and George sat down next to me.
You have to know that my school as 2,000 students, and if we get 1,000 fans for a mid-season football game and 4,000 at homecoming, that’s huge.
Anyway – George sat down next to me and we started chatting. I told him about my roommate. Then, in a fit of immaturity, I told him (remember this is 1984) that he shouldn’t trade Dave Winfield. I said that was a bad move for the Yankees. He smiled and said he would see what he could do.

One other note from school.
Apparently Steinbrenner wasn’t universally liked. He was not a New Englander and he drove a sportscar in the 1950s. He lived in a stereotypical frat house, with large columns on the front portico. I heard that some classmates took his car, turned it sideways and stuck it between the columns and the front of the house. If that’s true, it’s a classic.

In-N-Out I can understand, as they are still privately owned and as far as I know have no plans to franchise (like Five Guys until just a couple of years ago only had locations in the DC Metro).

I find Five Guys to taste similar to In-n-out. At least the burgers.

Look at me, Dustin! I'm a F%^king Icon!
In-N-Out (burgers and fries both) always struck me as what McDonald’s would be if a) they used real food as ingredients so that b) they didn’t taste like shit.
Five Guys I have trouble comparing to anything else because I grew up with it and it occupies a very special place in my heart (literally and figuratively, I suppose).
Eat, drink, and be merry! And then drink some more.
There’s an article in the Food section of the Huffington Post about it. Something about now InO slathers the raw side of their burgers with mustard, then flips and fries that off, but it deepens the taste of the burger meat.

One day, the first student doesn’t bring in the apple. The teacher asks “Where is my apple?” The student answers, “My apple tree died.”
A week later, the second student didn’t ’t bring in the pear. The teacher asks, “Where is my pear?” The student answers, “My pear tree died.”
Then, a week after that, the third student didn’t bring in the raisins. The teacher asks, “Where are my raisins?” The student answers, “My rabbit died.”

Thankfully, there were no problems and they just gave me some massive antibiotic that killed whatever I had.

Not if my captain builds a wall with all his Hart, Pearson, Lindsay, and Ross and Richard trophies! Then you can’t get to him. Nyah nyah.
Eat, drink, and be merry! And then drink some more.
Weber can just take a step over those. If you had a big trophy, like a Stanley Cup, on the other hand…

Pfft. In Tennessee, “Captain Weber” is just a bigger, more expensive grill!

I got new trendy glasses because I lost my old ones and then I found my other ones and so now I have 3 pairs of glasses and I spent $300 I didn’t need to!

Lenses are expensive as fuck. My frames were $150 – 30%, and the lenses were $250 or so.

What’s your prescription?

-2.50, which isn’t terrible, so it’s not like they’re weirdly powerful or anything.

300 is reasonable. I usually pay in the upper 200’s 300 and ppl slam on me about it.. but I get CHEAP ass frames. It isn’t the frame that’s expensive.. it’s the damn lenses. Mine are so hardcore I gotta get the expensive ones unless I want some coke bottles that are going to break my nose.
I hear you. $300 really isn’t crazy. I have really shitty eyesight. Thank god for insurance coverage. And now I primarily wear contacts so it’s less expensive overall, but still hurts the wallet.
I like glasses, personally. I wear contacts, pretty much, only to play hockey. Plus, I don’t buy glasses all that often, so it’s not like I have to go back every 6 months for new glasses. I think the cost kinda washes out, depending that you don’t make your contacts last months and months longer than they’re supposed to (like me. I wore a single pair of contacts for about 5 months without taking them out during sophomore year in college).

The tuna salad sandwich at Panera is GOD.
I highly recommend it.

Never had that one…I usually go with the turkey (not the Sierra one, but the other one) just because it’s healthier, but the tuna sandwich…wow. Rocks my world.

They have their chicken and strawberry salad now, which is awesome. It has pineapple and blueberries as well. Had the salad at lunch with Mrs. Spidey yesterday.
Every bursted bubble has a glory! Each abysmal failure makes a point! Every glowing path that goes astray,shows you how to find a better way. So every time you stumble never grumble. Next time you'll bumble even less!
