NFL discussing expanding the roster to 55 players instead of 53. I'm All for creating more jobs

[shuriken]

soooo 64 more players total. Gotcha

[shuriken]

Saddest thread ever.
Anyway Bulls and Hawks both won last night despite not having either Rose or Kane respectively. They'll do alright in the post season.

Anyone watching PBC (Premiere boxing champions) tonight?
Quillen and Garcia are both Slated to be favorites over Andy Lee and Lamont Peterson. But I feel Andy Lee will win it with his guts and due to Quillen's inactivity.

Hated to see Lee/Quillen end in a draw, but whatever. Glad to have boxing back on one of the "Big 4" either way.

^^YAY not alone.
I think Lee won a very closely contested fight. He rallied big in the end to win.
As for Peterson, he should have picked it up somewhere in the earlier rounds. I had Garcia win 7 rounds to 5. Towards the end Peterson was defenitely outboxing the pants off of Danny.

Just got my tickets for the Cardinals-Tigers series May 15-17th in STL.

I know there aren't a lot of baseball fans, but I'm excited damn it

Hotel has a free shuttle service. So I'm gonna get pretty silly.

Go nuts. I know I would. Not for baseball but... yah know

[shuriken]

Bulls won their two games vs the Bucks, pretty happy about that. Also Provodnikov vs Matthysse was pretty damn brutal. Provo does not know when to quit.

Gonna say, the Bucks have creeped up.

Sold my soul today and ordered the May-Pac PPV. Split four ways, of course

My hand was forced, "my" local bar that showed all the good boxing PPVs closed last year and I am not paying a cover or going to Hooters.

edit: Oh yeah, Wainwright going down kills me. Might have to scalp these Cards/Tigers tickets.

[shuriken]

Gonna go to this Mexican restaurant and watching MayPac. Better alternative to actually buying it, this coming from a pretty hardcore boxing fan.

NFL draft tomorrow i'm pretty pumped. I've been watching PBC on Spike. Very excited for the next one May 29th!!! Excited for May/Pac but no where to watch it and i'm not paying that much for the PPV.

Visiting the rents, caught a ballgame, and had the pleasure of seeing this live and in color...

My team (Jaguars) are picking number 3 overall and I am hoping we take the Florida Linebacker or Amari Cooper

said a lot so not sure which parts you agree about but yeah. Not sure why you let Cecil Shorts III walk. He was far and away your best receiver but you've had a great stable of receivers for a while. I wanted the Falcons to sign him but they didn't. I have a mild soft spot for the jags just because i want the underdogs to succeed. i feel for the fan base. I'm glad mike smith is gone. He completely lacks in game adjustments. This is Dan Quinns shot to prove what he's got. But (knock on wood) It'll be hard to be worse than Mike Smith. This team is loaded with Talent. Just need a pass rush.

Jags seem locked in on Fowler but wouldn't be surprised to see them go Williams if he's there. Best defensive player in the draft.

Edit: looks like you got what you wanted. They took Fowler. Surprised Williams dropped that far but so glad he did so that the Falcons didn't have to trade up for Beasley.

[shuriken]

Bulls beat the Bucks 66-120
shoulda done this two games ago but meh. Good job
Anyways who's watching Maywether vs Pacquiao?
I am also excited for the Leo Santa Cruz vs Abner Mares showdown on the same card.

[shuriken]

Floyd beat Manny. Easy work

[Wingnut]

UD as expected. I hate him personally and I hate his style, but he's damn good. Best strategist I've ever seen. I just miss Gatti beatdown, prime Floyd.

Glad I saw it, from a historical perspective if nothing else.

Oh man that was the worst beatdown of Gatti's life. Even against De La Hoya he looked more impressive than Floyd. Too bad he's no longer a finisher and just does enough to win. Looking forward to Canelo vs Kirkland though.
