Yes, and the Marlins thank you for Jim Leyland

I can't think of too many times where I've gotten teary eyed over a sports moment, but when I watch footage of MJ winning his first championship or of the shot over Byron Russell then I get a little choked up sometimes.

Also, there's nothing like a good montage to get the waterworks flowing.

But I'm mainly talking about happy moments, like when I was watching the interview with D Wade and Bosh yesterday and Wade was saying how his heart is in Miami. I dunno if it's because mine is as well, but that shit got my eyes watering.

Or like watching a top ten of wade when he shits on anderson varejao or hits a three as the clock runs out(against the bulls) and then jumps up on the scorers table screaming, "THIS IS MY HOUSE!!!" while giving high-fives to the fans nearby

i still have my Pirates Barry Bonds jersey. there is no excuse for the Pirates sucking as badly as they do. the problem is organizational. other smaller-market teams play well and are even contenders from time to time. the Oakland A's. the Twins. seriously

those MJ moments are happy moments for me...

I remember that game MJ, I was living in Atlanta at the time. That was the series where Otis Nixon robbed Barry of a game-winning HR and Sid Bream scored a winning run on a photo-finish to home plate. Classic series, too bad that was the end of the Bonds-Bonilla era in Pittsburgh.

That was mostly aimed at Vermeer, Blake. I dunno.... maybe it's just adrenaline surging through me, but when someone I love to watch does something remarkabe at whatever sport, I feel shit welling up

yeah MJ's last shot as a Bull gets to me. also seeing MJ post-2003 reflecting on his career and talking about still wanting to take on guys like Kobe and Lebron...you can tell he's so bitter that he ever had to age. he still just wants to destroy everyone

yeah i got sort of choked up seeing Jerome Bettis finally win a Super Bowl his last year playing after all those years of the Steelers losing (even though he was running people over in the meantime)

yeah, I know what you're talking about now Nick. I even get that way watching Derrick Rose highlight reels now -- like when he dunked on Dragic from Phoenix and Stacy King went nuts. That shit gets me going, adrenaline-wise and emotionally.

let's link to that actually...

Shit, I can't see it here at the shop. FUCK!!! Well, for Wade, look no further than the running 3 pointer against the Bulls(haha) as time ran out or when he went behind Pavlovic's back at half-court along the sideline and then threw a 40-foot alley-oop to Shaq

Or when he put his nuts in Varejao's face.... that's was fucking beautiful

i also got teary-eyed when i watched this vid of MJ shooting turnaround fadeaways against this Slamball player from last year:

Mike's fadeaway is the most beautiful post-position-to-mid-range jumpshot in the history of the game...and perhaps the most beautiful move besides Hakeem's Dream Shake

I loved when he dunked on Varejao..

It sucks that the big three FAs have all acted so douchey during this process, I used to be a huge D-Wade fan. But now I think they're all superficial, lying attention-whores.

Hakeem's dream shake was beautiful, but nothing was more beautiful than Patrick Ewing's Six-Step Shuffle

"It sucks that the big three FAs have all acted so douchey during this process, I used to be a huge D-Wade fan. But now I think they're all superficial, lying attention-whores. "

I hate to tell you this...... but all of them are.

out of all of them i think D-Wade acted the least like a douchebag though he kind of pissed me off. i was pissed that the Bulls didn't at least give more of a shout-out to their Chicago homeboy and just went exclusively after Lebron. so i can see why he felt snubbed

oh yeah Buckfutter i forgot to say that i do appreciate the Heat for finally getting Gary Payton a ring. one of the realest, shit-talkingest motherfuckers to ever play in the NBA

They say Gary and Reggie Miller were the best shit-talkers ever in the league. When those two battled there must have been some really nasty shit said.

I actually thought Wade was the biggest douche of all. He never had any intention of signing here, hence why he already had all those damn Wade County t-shirts made by the time he announced his decision. The Bulls thing was just misdirection because these guys all love the spectacle and want to feel wanted.

When Wade felt like his dream team wasn't coming together last month (when everyone was touting LBJ to the Bulls) he had to make some misinformed, snarky comments about how we're not loyal to our players, just because Jordan isn't a part of the organization anymore. HE HAS A FUCKING STATUE OUTSIDE THE ARENA. He wanted to be an NBA owner, what, we're supposed to sell the team to him?

We gave Scottie Pippen a sign-and-trade out of here in 1998 so he could get the most money possible. We gave Jay Williams $10 million when we didn't have to pay him shit after he technically violated his contract by riding a motorcycle.

We saved Randy Brown from bankruptcy. Twice. He was so down and out recently that he sold his championship rings -- then Reinsdorf gave him a job and BOUGHT THEM BACK for him. Pete Myers, John Paxson, Stacy King, Bill Wennington, Kendall Gill, Norm Van Lier, Johnny "Red" Kerr and BJ Armstrong all hold (or held) signifcant positions within the Bulls organization.

Our Org. has done a lot of stupid things, and things they deserve criticism for. Loyalty is not one of them. Wade was throwing a temper tantrum because he thought he wasn't going to get his way.

Good job choosing to be a part-time father on South Beach Dwyane... alright, rant over.
