WTF is wrong with ESPN and Wisconsin local news showing the full replay of Bogut's injury over and over!? Was hanging out at a bar on Saturday night and literally everyone watching the TV when they replayed that injury was freaked out by it, ditto for Easter Sunday spent with the family with local news in the background. AFAIK EJ Henderson's freak injury during the NFL season (where his leg spun around similar to Bogut's arm) was not shown after it happened, so why do we need to watch this over and over again!? I mean I'm not squeamish or anything but the image of Bogut lying on the floor screaming in pain is gonna stick with me after viewing it so many times...maybe it just hurts so much more because he's my favorite player in the league...

Whats the updated vote tally? Are any of the matchups even close at this point?

If you can manage 6 votes in 17 minutes, you can tie it up.

do gimmicks count?

Whats up with the super short voting period for the elite 8 btw?

And since I'm about to be eliminated I know everyone wants to hear about me hooking up with a pastor's daughter on Easter right?

It's only a couple hours short because the other one was extended. Votes are pretty in line with the previous rounds anyways.

Just trying to WIM one out in OT

The preacher call me sinner, but his little girl call me saint.

what's your philosophy re: women in like, 100 words or less

my first gf (soph year of hs) was the pastor's daughter. funny story cause her parents were the ones setting us up. they were way too cool to be pastor and wife. the first month we went out, her mom is bringing out the whipped cream at a party to have her daugher lick it off my chest. they had a room that they all called the "make-out room" where my gf and i would spend all of our time and they would always knock and wait for us to make ourselves decent before entering. her mom found some naked pics that we had taken one time and didn't say anything more than, "yeah next time don't leave them out for your younger sister to find."

so yeah, good times. relationship ended up lasting almost 2 years, and in retrospect it was almost a purely physical relationship.

The Candyman would **** a snake - if you held it down for him.

I assume the final four is set. I'll start.

kidcolin vs C-Viggity

Jack of Arcades vs tarheeljks

Yep, go ahead.. those are the match-ups.

KID COLIN>C-vig: volume, crock pots, Celtic Pride

JOA>Tarheels: the power of the podcast must be honored

KC
Tarheels

Yeah, since I've been eliminated, its time for me to start my Jack of Arcades campaign.

JOA absolutely deserves to win this thing, and here is why:

1. He brought Castzilla to this thread, which by itself is a very major contribution.
2. JOA consistently contributes good stuff to this thread at a solid level, both from a fan perspective and from an in depth NBA discussion perspective. He also brings a great combination of original ideas and understanding of advanced statistics. I hold his opinion in a higher regard than almost anyone in this thread. Basically everyone itt should take a lesson from JOA on how to successfully contribute to TZ.

You know maybe if he did more agility exercises he 1. wouldn't swing off the rim in an uncontrolled fashion 2. wouldn't have been injured in such a horrible fashion

So with that said:

C-Vig>KC - voted for C-Vig in every round so far so might as well keep it up.

JOA>tarheels - see above

Basically don't lie or be a hypocrite. Hooking up is fine, hooking up under pretexts of something more isn't. Don't cheat if you're in a relationship, etc. Pretty basic. Being honest gets you what you want way more often than lying anyway, might make them mad sometimes but not nearly as mad as they would have been down the road.

lol

Same. Voting for C-Vig because if I go down it might as well have been to the champ and I have to pick someone. Same deal with JoA and tarheels, I have to vote for someone and JoA is already bolded in this post, so it makes it easy.

can we create fake slander campaigns?

c-vig tarheels
