[quote name="the_dude_abides" post="812265" timestamp="1276475286"] I'm going with the celtics because bryant is arrogant, gasol has no chin, artest is an idiot, odom always looks high, bynum is a pud, and walton and the european dude are gay together.  Also, because farmar is a douche.

I agree with what ECBucFan said. There has been some great defensive play so far. Now does that have anything to do with how the ball is kicked by a player? No! The announcers have commented on how the ball has played so far and (i cant recall which guy said it) but he said that they (the players) have had 2wks of practice with the ball prior to the world cup and therefore they should know how the ball playsand there should be no excuses, and i have to agree with that. With the talent that the palyers have they should be able to make adjustments in that amount of time. If I am wrong (about the players not being able to adjust because of how it plays) then the ball must be at fault. IMO its hard to judge.

I think France will win but im hoping for them to lose so that SA will have a better chance to advance.

The U.S. will have it tough against England but i think they will get the upset. Altidore will start. South Africa suprised me in their game against Mexico. I though Mexico would take it by two goals.

Discussion for anything pertaining to the World Cup.

[b]5 Felony Accounts[/b] An Ector County, Texas grand jury indicted Guerdwich Montimere, a 22-year-old man accused of posing as a high school student and basketball star in West Texas, on five felony counts on Monday. The grand jury returned two indictments against Montimere. The first contained two counts of sexual assault of a child. Montimere was arrested on May 14 after a 16-year-old girl in Odessa told police and school district officials she had sex with him at a home in August when she thought he was 15-year-old Jerry Joseph. The second indictment contained two counts of tampering with governmental records and one count of fraudulent use of identifying information. Indicted for those same offenses was former teammate Jabari Caldwell as a party. Montimere was originally arrested May 11 on a misdemeanor charge of failure to identify himself to a police officer, and school officials said he admitted that he wasn't Joseph. May 13, Montimere was released on $7,500 bond about five hours after his arrest on a felony charge of tampering with government documents. Officials said Montimere enrolled at a junior high school and later at Permian High School last year with a fake birth certificate from Haiti. The Odessa American reported in May that Montimere was enrolled at Permian by Caldwell, who was a teammate of Montimere's at Dillard High School in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. According to the newspaper, Caldwell signed an affidavit that "Jerry Joseph" was his half-brother. Suspicions were raised after coaches at an amateur basketball tournament said they recognized Joseph as Montimere, a 2007 graduate of Dillard and a naturalized U.S. citizen from Haiti. Caldwell, who had been playing at the University of Texas-Permian Basin, told the Odessa American that he helped Montimere enroll at Permian as a favor. Montimere, whose Haitian birth certificate says he was born on Jan. 1, 1994, was homeless in Fort Myers, Fla., after fleeing a hurricane in Haiti in 2008, the newspaper reported. "He asked me if it was possible for me to help him enroll in school," Caldwell told the Odessa American in May. "I met him in Odessa. He came out here on a Greyhound." Permian High School made the state basketball playoffs with Montimere helping lead the way as a sophomore star. Questions arose after the season, and Montimere was initially cleared by immigration authorities and allowed to return to the school. The investigation continued, and a fingerprint from a passport found in his room matched one taken by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents after the allegations surfaced, according to an affidavit. School officials said Montimere confessed after he was confronted with the new evidence. Sexual assault of a child is a second-degree felony which carries punishment of two years to 20 years in the institutional division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Tampering with government records is also a second-degree felony. Fraudulent use of identifying information is a state jail felony and can carry a sentence of six months to two years in a state jail. The grand jury found no wrong doing on the part of Ector County independent school district, Permian High School, the athletic department, or any persons identified with the above listed agencies. State District Judge Denn Whalen set an arraignment date of June 16.

Which fight are you most interested in? UFC 115 has Liddell vs Franklin UFC 116 has Lesnar vs Carwin

I believe that HJ could pull it off and get into the playoffs. Like ST11 said they did some good things last year and I believe that is going to set them up well for this season.

The best college basketball coach ever in my opinion!

While waiting to find out the sanctions that USC will face, [b]OU still sucks![/b]

Every week teams are going to have to "bring it" or else they could see the light at the end of the tunnel fade quickly..Tough district!

Rampage or Evans? I got Rampage.

Thanks for the pictures! Looks great!
