I hate the damn yankees. GF is a yankee fan and wont shut up about them. It kinda makes me angry at times. Its always A-rod this and Derek Jeter that. They are like the Mike Vick of baseball.

this is probably the single most ridiculous statement i have ever read on this board. those guys are nothing alike. Jeter and A-Rod always seem to do and say the right things. and have the rings to back it up. Vick is nothing more then a media hype machine. period.

Yeah, with a statement like that you can bet Earthquake didn't exactly ace the "Analogies" section of the SAT (do they still have an "Analogies" section?)

I meant the team gets brought up as many times as michael vick. I didnt mean that they were like Mike Vick in any way. Sorry if that was muisleading.

Re: The Bronx is Burning
 

I meant the Yankees get talked about as much as Mike Vick and being a Red Sox fan, I hate the yankees.

[QUOTE=dmek25;338536]I'm a Phillies fan, but really enjoy the show. and if its anywhere near the truth, Reggie is one big a**hole[/QUOTE]


I'm not getting the a-hole thing out of Reggie, what I see is Reggie is a very sensitive player and needs everything to go perfectly for him to feel safe and secure.
I apologize in advance to all the females out there, but he seems like a woman.

I already pay for the NFL Sunday ticket, I'm not going to pay another $200 for all the Baseball games...especially since I would never watch anything other than the Sox. With the NFL Sunday ticket, I do watch other games, not just the Skins.

[QUOTE=FRPLG;338546]I think the show is OK. I really like Oliver Platt usually but his depicition of Steinbrenner just seems so silly. It is like a characticture of him. Now Tutturo(sp?) is dead on as Billy Martin.[/QUOTE]

Seems like from what people are saying, his dipiction of Steinbrenner is dead on. I don't think it's Platt that is the problem, I just think George is a bit of a joke.

It reminds me of when Mr. Burns got all those ringers on the Simpsons, and one was Don Mattingly. Mr. Burns continually told him to shave those side burns, and he didn't even have any. Finally Mattingly shaved the sides of his head and Mr. Burns got pissed and fired him for not shaving his side burns. Then Mattingly says "I still like him better than Stienbrenner".
While that is a funny joke, especially for Sox fans, I think that is somewhat accurate.

I love this show. Oliver Platt and John Turturro? You could film them doing crossword puzzles and it would be better than most stuff on TV.

Re: The Bronx is Burning
 

does Turturro wear prosthetic(sp?) ears? those babies are huge
