Man, Bar just keeps getting better and better
July 21st, 2008 at 3:32 pm
I’d like to find this city, is it near Minneapolis or St. Paul?
July 21st, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Minnesota isn’t a city

The biscuits at Red Lobster are the shit.
July 21st, 2008 at 3:41 pm
And here I thought I lived in a state. Turns out I just live in one giant city.
July 21st, 2008 at 3:41 pm
@cbh the cheddar biscuits

I maybe wrong but didn’t the Bulls offer Deng a 5yr/50 million at the beginning of the season?
July 21st, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Are you kidding? Minnesota is one of my favorite cities. I saw Danica Patrick and Milka Duno in a NASCAR race there.
July 21st, 2008 at 3:45 pm
the biscuits on barr are even better.
July 21st, 2008 at 3:46 pm
@JB: Before this past season, Gordon was offered 50.5/5 years while Deng got a 57.5/5 years. Both didn’t accept their offers beleiving they deserved more. Then they both shat the bed this year.
July 21st, 2008 at 3:50 pm
There’s an Italian restaurant in the Atlanta area called Ippilito’s. Their biscuits are the shit. Better than Barr’s and Red Lobster’s. But not better than Keeley’s. And that’s a bonafide fact, gentlemen.
July 21st, 2008 at 3:51 pm
that crocodile was a pussy.
July 21st, 2008 at 3:51 pm
What does the Deng link say? Blocked at work.
Also, Josh Childress mulling an offer from a Greek team. 3 years/$20M. Hawks are the worst fucking franchise in sports.
Go Cavs.

Iggy wins.

People eat at Red Lobster? That’s like eating at Italian Gardens. Sure, I guess people eat at those places, but I don’t know any.
July 21st, 2008 at 3:52 pm
In all seriousness, Minneapolis is actually a pretty cool city during the week of summer they get.
July 21st, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Don’t know if that’s a typo or a joke, but either way the bread sticks are delicious.
July 21st, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Don’t want to cause any false alarms but “Billy Wagner’s” shoulder just got a little stiff as I tried to access the comments…I hope TBL doesn’t have to order the MRI
July 21st, 2008 at 3:53 pm
And now for a Red Lobster that won’t ruin your dinner, Dr. John Zoidberg!
July 21st, 2008 at 3:56 pm
man…what a day
July 21st, 2008 at 3:57 pm
True story:
Mrs. GYD to Realtor: “Are there any good seafood restaurants in the area?”
Realtor: “Red Lobster is about two miles from here.”
Mrs. GYD: “That isn’t real seafood.”
Cue GYD, stifling laughter while riding in the backseat.
Gift from realtor after house is purchased: Gift certificate to Red Lobster.

@Nick: Here’s the gist of it:
Deng is determined to come to terms on a long-term contract, but he has set an Aug. 4 deadline to reach an agreement. Once Deng, 23, leaves the country for the European Championship qualifying tournament, he will [sic] sign a one-year qualifying offer for $4.5 million and become an unrestricted free agent in 2009.
The message to the Bulls promises to be implicit: Unless the two sides come to terms soon, Deng will never again negotiate with them. He will not let the uncertainty over his future hang over another basketball season, and unless a sign-and-trade is worked out, Deng will play out his final season in 2008-09 and sign elsewhere next summer.
When reached on Sunday, Deng’s agent, Jason Levien, would only say, “We continue to talk to the Bulls and remain hopeful that something can be accomplished.€
July 21st, 2008 at 3:59 pm
DR C Deng thinks he is worth more than 11.5 mill a year. He and his agent are both dillusional.
July 21st, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Went to high school in Minneapolis. Great in the summer, terrible winters. People there are a little too slow for my liking.
Also, there is no way AJ Burnett is coming to the Cubs after they got Harden.
July 21st, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Everyone has probably already read this, but I haven’t seen it on this website.
Shockey’s a Saint.

I stand by my statement.

I stand by my hunger for garlic bread.

ive eaten at olive garden once in my life, i was like seven and got sick, never gone back. have never eaten at red lobster. as i dont live on the coast i refuse to goto seafood places, that shit is too expensive for frozen lobster. i trust the gordon’s fishermen, not that goddamn lobster on the RL logo

@JB: All the hype got to his head with his potential. Paxson telling everyone he was untouchable, especially in that deal they wanted to do with Memphis during the 06-07′ deadline for Gasol got to his head. Therefore, he felt he should be paid like a Gasol. He still has the chance to be as good as everyone thinks he can be, but he’s got quit squabbling over little shit and earn his paycheck rather then thinking he’s entitled to it.
July 21st, 2008 at 4:02 pm
jb49ers:Big difference between thinking your guy is worth 11.5 mill a year, and realizing someone will pay him more than 11.5 mill a year.
July 21st, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Considering the types of players who make more than $11.5MM p.a., it’s not exactly far fetched.
July 21st, 2008 at 4:07 pm
red lobster biscuits truly are the shit…sure that place blows for everything else (including drinks) but the biscuits man, the biscuits.
July 21st, 2008 at 4:09 pm
I am curious as to whether Red Lobster is worth a damn. I personally haven’t eaten at one, but their commercials make it look damn tasty…but I’m used to swimming that morning fresh seafood, so I doubt it’s as good as it looks.

apimpnamedslickback is a huge red lobster fan
July 21st, 2008 at 4:12 pm
There is nothing wrong with Red Lobster.

Tom Dubois: Wait, a pimp?
A Pimp Named Slickback: Named Slickback, yes. Please say the whole thing if you would? Yes, that includes the “A Pimp Named” part. Yes, Tom, every time.
Tom Dubois: Look, Mr. A Pimp Named Slickback …
A Pimp Named Slickback: No need for the “Mr.”
Damn BET for killing The Boondocks!!!

Hey Nick..let me know if this is blocked
July 21st, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Pretty soon you foods snobs are gonna tell met that Taco Johns isn’t “real” Mexican food either.
July 21st, 2008 at 4:37 pm
The Taco Johns CPB was a staple of my freshman year in college
July 21st, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Roman how do you feel about the Shockey trade?
July 21st, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Groin, where do you live? Taco Johns are only in the midwest, right? Potato Ole’s are the bizzomb.
July 21st, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Negatory. There’s a small town in upper east Tennessee called Elizabethton (hometown of Mr. Jason Witten) that has the Taco Johns I used to frequent.
July 21st, 2008 at 5:41 pm
@Benji, I’m not telling you where I live for fear that a fellow commenter will look up my credit report and parents address.
