    I totally get what you are saying with regard to the odd mechanics and the smaller size, but the fact he relied on so much of his body to generate speed on his fastball made me drink the kool-aid that he was going to last. It was just so odd that he had three good seasons from 2008 to 10, an OK season in 2011 and went to hell in the second half of 2012 and it was just over. I didn't expect him to be Nolan Ryan or the like who could pitch for 20 years, but I thought he'd still be pitching for the Giants now and able to still win 12 to 13 games.

    Martin Lawrence. I thought he would be HUGE. Martin was HILARIOUS and he had some minor movies roles and Bad Boys (which was fucking terrible). Yeah he did Big Momma's movies, but I thought he would be much bigger.
    The same with David Alan Grier (who goes a lot of work, but small work) and Damon Wayans.

    My friend's got her to do a spot for the college radio station. Then they had her record their answering machine message: "Hello, this is Jewel. Marc and Andy aren't here right now - I took them out for pizza."

    Gus Johnson. He seemed to be on his way to being part of the soundtrack of sports for years during March. Now he's buried on Fox and I hear him do a game two or three times every year.

    Have you seen The Pros and Cons of Breathing in L.A. ? Same kind of movie but she was good in that as well.

    'course, she was at her sexiest as Cousin Effie in that Married with Children episode.

    And 2 rings including the 10-inning shutout in Game 7. Don't think he deserves to be on this list.

    This is as good as any album of the last 25 years.

    Crow's had a stellar career. She even sang for the Obamas. Oh shit, YF just saw the bat signal.

    I like Green Day quite a bit but in no way, shape or form are they now nor were they ever punk.

    It's really quite simple:
    PUNK
    The Stooges
    Pistols
    Ramones
    Clash
    The Damned
    Dead Kennedys
    Black Flag
    The Misfits

    NOT PUNK
    Green Day
    Rancid (ska category)
    Blink 182
    Social D
    Buzzcocks
    The Jam
    Husker Dü
    Nirvana
    Gang of Four
    Wire
    Joy Division
    The Replacements
    X
    Minutemen
    Patti Smith
    Descendents
