CNN picks Spurs to win title.

As if the weak off-season we had (Roger Mason Jr does nothing for me) and the injury to Manu wasn't enough. Now, CNNSI/Sports Illustrated predicts us to win the title. They have us beating Boston in the finals which would be sweet and would shut-up those idiots who think KG is on TD's level which is blasphemy at best. KG couldn't shine TD's shoe, but enough of that rant.
What's their rationale? Is it that everyone is doubting us? Is it that it's an odd year and all our titles came in those numbers? Is it because they know like everyone else does that if Manu was healthy, we would've beaten the Lakers and beaten the Celtics as well. I don't know. But I'm just not happy. I equate them to the Madden cover and I just hope they don't curse us.
I will give our NBA preview next week before the season starts. All i know, is whenever I think the Spurs are due for a down year and at the end of the road, they surprise me like 07 and win the title. I have come to the conclusion that me, just like all other bloggers, know absolutely NADA!

eh...
I had a shitty week. Seeing SI and CNN predict us to win was a small reprieve from all the girlfriend dumpage… that and the fact that my hat FINALLY came in the mail. That’s when you know God has your back. He taketh, but then he giveth you a small trinket in return…

Does this mean no more boondoggles in the Carribean?

it most certainly does, for the time being...
she was acting crazy, and compared me to a blackout and a hurricane. I wasn’t sure what that meant, and recalled the SNL skit where Chris Rock thought “blackout” was where white people turned into some crazy black driver and crashed into people

well man, think of this an an opportunity to trade up to a yonger, hotter model…….it could most definitely be worse. i will be making the circuit this weekend with my best freind who just signed his freedom (divorce) papers about an hour ago. let’s just say that he got cleaned out and the beers will be on me tonite………
hahaha...
i love how us PtR guys come running to the rescue of our nameless, faceless comrades in time of need. I live in College Station, so finding a younger model wouldn’t necessarily be difficult. Any prospective business owners should note how viable CS is… tons of people with disposable income (daddy’s plastic..) in a never changing demographic (18-24)…
also, for fans of younger women: note the aforementioned 18-24 demo… they’re out there fellas… are they ever…

just watch out for the crazy ones...
you never know when one of your College Station young’uns is going to carve a backwards “B” on her cheek and, in true South Park fashion, blame “some black guy.”
Actually, in that episode (with JonBenet’s parents, and that scummy congressman who was having the affair with the intern who was murdered), I think they blame a Puerto Rican guy, but whatever. Close enough.
Catch the Spurs Spirit! It's a Fast-breakin' Fiesta!
It’s so great you brought that up and that I actually READ through all the comments before posting; cause I thought about saying the exact same thing about the ‘backwards “B” chick.’
Sorry to hear about things, Scraps. I went through the same thing several months ago and it’s not easy. There’s definately many more out there though, and time truly does help. You’ll be back up and swinging in no time, just focus on getting over things by keeping yourself consistantly busy and surrounding yourself with close friends. it’s those lag/boredom times that I’ve found to be really difficult; but just anticipate that and don’t let yourself fall into a rut. And cigars and whiskey help as well.
And damn sure don’t chase or make a move; stand your ground and hold your character.

everytime I hear the word "character"
I think back to Calvin and Hobbes. It’s like a knee jerk reaction…
Don’t know about the “backwards B” chick… I will say however, that I dropped an early season SP reference (Sexual Harassment Panda) in one of the classes I TA for. The only person who got it was some lithe blond girl who might have originally been too young for that season by, oh, 9 years. I gave her an A on her test strictly because she came correct with the knowledge.
The boredom is exactly why I’ve been stoked on this holiday season. The video games are off the chain this time of year…

Three words (and some numbers) keeping SiMA with an unhealthy heart rate these days:
Gears of War II
That is all.
PS- You gots character, dude; you’re a SPURS fan. And don’t let opportunities like “a little blond girl who gets Sex Panda references and looks at me as an authority” pass you by again. That’s weak and disappointing.

Dude, you know that’s opening night, right? Is this a Spurs and dinner dinner?

that is...
the only way I will roll. Women come and go, but the Spurs are forever. I’m not sure if there was a pun in there, just yet…

Is it to late to say that you’re the coolest guy ever and deserve a hot girl or two clinging from your neck and looking up at you adoringly while licking your ear?
Just because you post here.
Anyway. Sorry to hear about the breakup. As you said, at least now you’ll have time to play Crysis: Warhead, Dead Space and GTA IV. Me, I’m going through FEAR and Mass Effect. Aah, sweet weekend.
no...
it is not too late for that…
What’s with the Mass Effect? That was last year’s hot title… I’m all over Fable II right now, but have Fallout 3 on tap for this week… Still, ME was an awesomely epic game.

I’m a little behind on my gaming. FEAR’s also pretty old. Still, can’t go wrong with Bioware and ME.
In fact, I’m already looking forward to Dragon Age and the Star Wars MMORPG they just announced. How unbelievably cool could that one be?
Never much liked Fable. Only really good thing about Fable II is probably the dog. :)
i have to say that I agree...
my problem with open world games is that the story is rarely strong enough to keep you following it. All too often you end up just traipsing off into the forest to “look at some shit”, and before you know it, you’ve forgotten what in the hell youre supposed to be doing.
Fable II has this problem, though the “bread crumb trail” keeps you aware that there ARE things that NEED to get done. Still, having just walked away from it for a moment, I can’t shake the feeling that this is one game I wont finish.
I gave Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune my game of the year award last year because the story was like heroin… and the best part was: It never fell off the tracks like we’ve seen in so many games….

Uncharted? Damn… haven’t played that one. Not that I’ll be able to, since I don’t own a PS3. It does look interesting.
Thing is, if you want to do a good open world game, you have to do something massive – like Oblivion. I know some people didn’t like the pacing in that one, but you have to admit it had the most content in a game ever. (Maybe that’s an exaggeration, but a slight one. :)
That said, I got tired of Oblivion after some 80 hours. Which is a lot.
That’s complete badass. You’re Batman. In fact, “Scraps” is temporarily suspended in lieu of “Batman.” Let us know how it goes.
