This is probably the worst thing they can do. Once they give the owners everything, there's no going back. Owners won't suddenly become generous. I'd like to believe these guys are too smart to make the same mistake twice, seeing as how they're millionaires.

Nothing wrong with a 5 year deal, but they can't give in 100% now for it.

Ok, well the players have no leverage except to agree to most of their demands.

The shorter contract of 5 years gives them more bargaining power in a shorter time.

I'd say the way the Lakers went out was worse than losing in the finals. Having your HOF coach get bitchslapped by JJ Barea is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

I like how the Zen Master's last memory of the Staples Center is getting booed out of it.

Socal has the most accessible and complex traffic system in the world.

Yeah, and an embarrassingly bad public transportation system, traffic that slows things to a crawl, and urban sprawl that makes going from one place to the other a matter of miles and hours and not blocks and minutes.

I don't want to hate on LA too much because of this, but transportation is clearly one of its flaws.
 
Yeah there is no way a superstar basketball player with millions upon millions of dollars could get his hands on a CD early, even though you know he is friends with Jay-Z who signed J.Cole in the first place.

Perfect fix is, give the owners everything they want, but make the deal 5 years.

Then, once you can show value/leverage on the players side, re-negotiate in 5 years.

Billionaires > Millionaires. Every time.

It's kinda sad, because all I watched sports-wise is older Lakers games, the soul-crushing Orlando wins are still delicious to watch. Rafer Alston + layups = Rebound

And it's almost time to finally post my set-up.
My old buy list from January:

2nd PS3 - Check
3DS - Nixed due to impending redesign
NGP - Not out yet
2 iPhone 4's - Check
Polk Monitor 70s/CS2 center channel/Klipsch satellites - I got a different brand, but Check.
Onkyo 608 - Went with Denon. Glorious check.
Touchscreen computer - Still debating what brand to pick up.
Netbook for ze lady - Check, she got a laptop.
1 42 inch plasma - Check
1 50+ inch plasma - Check

Just about done. I wanted to include Lakers tickets when they visit to destroy Golden State, but yea...

This just tells me you don't drive enough. Aside from when one of the main streets is shut down, you can get around the city fairly easy if you know the roads. Now, if you have to take freeways every day, then yes, shit can't be helped. Plug in your iPod.

And public transportation is a joke precisely to force you to get a car.

I don't believe you actually have that unless you PM pics.

After that we should all meet up at Buffalo Wild Wings.

Check PM, then return with your crow and a fork.

I took the pics with my iPhone, wife has the other one.
 
The funny part about Lebron's tweet is the idea that he's dropping his kids off at school. You know he's full of shit and has some nanny do that shit for him.

Are you actually defending LA's transportation system? I think the lockout must be causing terrible hallucinations and delusions.

The whole west coast auto industry developed in LA in the early 20th century as a means of artificially growing the of the basin after the whole mulholland water scandal made a ridiculous population boom possible. YOU'RE BUYING INTO CORPORATE GREED MANNNNNNNNNN!

No, I'm saying that once you learn the streets, it's manageable. Freeways always suck, yes, but, thats the same anywhere, people drive like shit up here.

And public transportation sucks, but be real, if you're dating in So cal, you need a car.

Outsiders are fucked when it comes to L.A. traffic. But an OG like me has no issues getting from point A to point B with the quickness.
 
Good day. Got a dota 2 key and bought deus ex revolution for $27 for Steam.

Pretty much this. It's one reason I hate living in Spokane. In Spokane people drive like they have the entire day with no worries or responsibility. La de da. GET OUT THE WAY BITCH!!!!! In L.A. everybody drives like they're being chased by death.

I'm doing traffic school online right now. Waiting for the timer to finish counting down before I can move on to the next section.

And just so you don't simply wait out the timer and move on, you actually have to do some reading because they insert random sentences in the middle of nowhere that have nothing to do with the subject matter which you have to identify before moving on.

This is such bullshit.

lol wut? Last time I had traffic school I was able to literally click 'NEXT' 'NEXT' 'NEXT'. And all of the answers to the questions were highlighted so you could just copy paste into note pad and be done.

I regret choosing a 'comedy' themed one too.

Yea. Never do comedy themed. I've done traffic school two times in my life. The first time I actually had to attend the class for the entire day which SUCKED BALLS. The second time I did it online and that was easy peesy. I haven't gotten a ticket in 4 1/2 years (although I've been pulled over three times since then lol) and Spokane doesn't offer traffic school.

This was my first moving violation. Actually, it was the first time being pulled over as a driver.

Mashed potatoes should not have lumps.
I know a fellow who put a beard on his Ford and told everybody it was a Lincoln!
A camel without a hump is like a peach with no fuzz.
The car was so old it needed both upper and lower plates!
The used car salesman swore by the car. I bought it. The next day I swore too!
The hearing impaired enjoy music because they can feel the beat.
Small heads look better shaved than big heads.
Baseball is boring in April and exciting in October.

Bubble gum is pink because that was the only food coloring the inventor had in his lab at the time
The letter "W" should be called "double-V





Somebody shoot me plz.

SUPREME1, if I was there right now I'd finish your training for you. If LeBron had you on his team, he'd already have won a few chips.

If LeBron was on the 90's ChiBulls, Jordan would have -6 rings.




Found another:

A triple is the most exciting play in baseball




Recall seeing a commercial the other day which mentions a triple play, don't remember what the commercial was for though. Wish I was watching TV right now.
