Happy Birthday funky!

Whats up funky? I'm just like you with NBA Live. It's a Love/Hate relationship. It does a LOT right, but just as much, if not more wrong. I'd suggest picking up 2k10. I'm having a LOT of fun with it. It has a LOT of flaws, but I'm hopeful that the patch will fix those flaws. It's not unplayable by any means. Kind of funny, I was gonna be a Live only guy this year, as I wasn't looking at 2k10 at ALL... but being the hoops head I am, the wife picked up 2k10 for me, and I'm having a blast with it.

It's a she... and the wife has already turned her into a princess who hates boy things, haha. But... while they are preparing for pageants, it will give dad a time for virtual bballing and OS.

She's cool with my gaming and bball season. Turned her into a basketball fan last year. She's already a football fan... so we're good to go now.

funk, what up brotha. I'm getting both, just like you thought. It's the only time of year I really buy games. And really the only time, other than reading, that I post anymore.

This may be the last year that I can get both, but the wife knows that I'll forever be buying at least one! lol

You still playing in the "I Work and Have a Family League?" Looking forward to playing some games!

I'd be stoked about it too if they showed any info on it...

Can't do... I'm 360 through and through again. I'm getting stoked for Live 10...

Sorry for the late response, bro. I never use this thing haha. What do I think? It's a knife in my heart, man. It's going to tear me apart. From a basketball standpoint though, it's absolutely killer for them. Kidd-to-Marion all DAY.

Thanks! I can't wait.

I actually like the PS3 controller over the 360 one. Just a matter of preference. I would never guess that you would be one to talk any trash .

That's what I have at the moment... I can't stand the controller, haha, and can't play online due to lack of headset. How can I play online, if I can't talk trash?

Hey brotha, life on the beat is tough at the moment. We're running a skeleton crew right now due to some retirements and other issues... very stressful times indeed. Other than going crazy and wearing myself ragged, things are going well. Getting ready to pick up a 360 to help relieve some stress, haha.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Dibiase? Seriously? I think it's time to put the Brahma Bull... The People's Champ... W... T.... F... on your card, haha.

Ah...Millenium told me to remove to remove Adriana...sigh

Her name is Laurn Thompson and yes she is very hot. My neck would hurt by the end of each day of walking around campus in the fall. There are an incredible number of hot girls at ASU and its so hot that they don't wear much.

yeah, it was hell of a ballgame. In my opinion, ND just ran out of gas at the end. Thats the problem Brey will have only playing a 7 man rotation.

And could you give me Harangody's phone number? I need to call him and pretend I'm a pro scout and say its time for him to go pro.

Agree. (Obviously ) Everyday the HOF loses some respect from me.

Happy New Year to you funky_chicken. I hope you get as much time as possible with your dad. I have dealt with cancer in grandparents and my 19 yo cousin as well. It's always tough, but it must be extra tough to deal with a parent. You have my prayers and best wishes brother.

Same to you Funky..............Yeah the Mrs and I are moving to Denver and will be heading out that way around the 8th of February. So , you guys will at least have a place to crash on the way to the Phoenix, Cali, and Vegas. The Irish looked really good, but it was Hawaii. My only thought, is that it bought Charlie another year, and Im scared its going to be the same bull****.

Hey man. Haha yeah I'm a big baseball junkie and I do own a PS3. I don't have The Show, however. I got this system during the summer and got GTA IV and Skate. Then school started and I really couldn't devote my time to gaming at all.

I'm looking forward to The Show '09... unless 2K9 beats it out, which is a big improbability at this point.

Here are the games that I currently own:

- GTA IV
- Skate
- SOCOM: Confrontation
- Rock Band 2
- Little Big Planet
- Uncharted (borrowing from friend)

Then I have like 50 Blu-ray movies.

I had a great Christmas, thanks! Hope you did too, and I also wish you a Happy New Year!

Wattup Funky, the Wife is in Denver as I type this visiting to see if she likes the corp. setting and the Denver area. She is flying out on the 5th of January to visit the Chicago facility, and I keep pushing for that are hard. I will know for sure in the next two weeks. I am pulling for Chicago, but I have a feeling it's Denver.

Hey at least you guys have a place to stay for the Vegas, Phoenix, and Cali race. Funky, If I don't talk to you before Christmas, you have a good one also Brother. You realize that once this Holiday season is over, it means only about 9 weeks until the 09 season starts up Bro.

I'll be praying for his well being. Glad he's doing ok.

How's your Dad doing?

Cold. Other than that doing pretty well. How are things up your way?

I've been to Chicago once when my high schools football team were in the playoffs, unfortunately it was nighttime and it was extremely hard to find Wrigley Field. lol.

Yessir. Diehard Cardinal fan. We are very passionate and I understand what you're saying about the support. Cubs-Cards is a great rivalry and should live on for a long time. Where did you live?

Yes Funky, I love fighting games, I grew up playing both of this two great games, and I downloaded the Street fighter from PSN store and Love, also MK vs DC is a treat, I love that game and can;t stop playing it, it is worth the 60 I aid for it. Get it you will not be disappointed.

Yeah, I had to censor myself

Nah, we'd be cool.

I loved it there. Me and my friends are planning to return again in June/July 2009.

Life as a Trooper is something else. good times and bad times, but normally more good than bad. How's everything going in your realm brother?

no thanks, i'm pretty capable of doing that myself ....

Thanks bud. I hope it works out. If we moved to Austin, maybe I can transfer from UCLA to UT. Otherwise, I'd assume I'll have to stick out here for school until I'm done then go to Texas. That would kill me, because it's been me pushing the most to move out of the state.

Yes I am.

Thanks, lol. As for Texas, yeah we've given it a bit more thought, especially after "recent events" regarding the political and economic landscape. We're looking at Dallas, Austin, and Houston. Austin is a liberal hotbed but maybe a suburb. It would be good for my Mom's work to go over there. I think my parents are actually considering it this time around. Hopefully!

i added pics of my f150 like you asked ....

I can see it. I think he could pitch another year or two but basically think the 20 wins while impressive was somewhat of a fluke season. It was just one of those years. I like Mussina and thinks he's pretty classy and hope whatever he does he's happy.

Thank you funky chicken it's guys like you that make me happy I'm in a community like this. appreciate the kind words..but yeah I'M hella tired

More than likely. Hope so anyways.

Don't ever root for the Yankees again! My first trip ever to Yankee Stadium we get beat up by the Rays..
But it was a blast anyways

Thanks Funky, yeah it took me forever to find that thing. I had to type in google images wrigley field panoramic...and it came up. I was going to create on, but not a lot of time these days.

Well since SIU is div 1AA OR FCS or whatever they call it, I don't really have a college team I root for. Last year I watched the Illini and this year I have been following Northwestern. But i'll tell you this I root against Michigan.

Im a fan of the Bears, Bulls and just recently started watching the Hawks now that they are on t.v. finally and I keep an eye on DePaul now and then but in college hoops its the Salukis.

Like a captain on a sinking ship we go down with the ship but keep coming back for more.

Thanks. Sandberg is my all time favorite Cub. When I played baseball I always made sure to have 23 on the back.
What's funny is I actually found the card by shear dumb luck, I happen to spot it at Target, in a assorted card set.

Totally agree. Hopefully one day before it's too late.

Hopefully not, this year was bitter sweet. But no matter what I'll be rooting for them again next year. I'm too old to start rooting for another team.
