Tuesday Other Stuff (5-1-12) Stuck
Posted on May 1, 2012 at 09:53 AM.
Today, it begins. My first day as a full time OSer. I'm looking forward to bringing in some new content and many other things in the near future. But for now, the daily Other Stuff makes its return today. I certainly hope you chime in, I'll be checking throughout the day to answer any questions you might have.

The Heat are up 2-0 over the Knicks. Amare will probably be out, after punching a glass casing around a fire extinguisher. I can understand frustration, but handle it without causing bodily injury to yourself, LOL. OKC is up 2-0, but the defending champs have put a scare into them. A total of 4 points have separated both games.

I'm not much of a hockey fan, but the Caps are getting a lot of attention around here, tying the series against the Rangers. I don't follow much of the regular season at all, but when the playoffs start, it's hard not to check it out. I'll be pulling for game 7 overtimes!

If any of these links interest you, talk about them! If you have any to share, please do so.Here is a list of my favorite sports teams.

Dallas Cowboys - Dad was a huge Cowboys fan, so growing up, it was the only team I rooted for.

Detroit Pistons - I didn't get into the NBA until the late 80's, early 90's. Love the hustle of Dennis Rodman and was a fan of the team ever since.

San Francisco Giants - I didn't follow much baseball, but always remember my cousin Greg loved the Giants. He passed away in an automobile accident, almost 30 years ago, at a very young age. I basically took it upon myself to pull for them. Been a fan ever since!

QOTD: Who are your favorite sports teams and why?

Happy Birthday to the following OS'ers!

That cat doing the sneak-up assault was awesome, lol.

QOTD:

1. Seattle Seahawks. I didn't seriously start watching football until about 2004. The first thing I remember seeing was Shaun Alexander ripping off a large run. From then on, I was a fan.

2. Seattle Sonics. www.sonicsgate.org

3. Seattle Mariners, but the more they keep loding, the less of a fan I am. I mean, how can you continue to be a fan of a team that's been in rebuilding mode for 8 STRAIGHT YEARS???

4. Seattle Sounders FC. From the very first inaugural year, they've been one of the best teams in MLS...

Thanks for bringing again Other Stuff, I'm sure those will make my day when I'm not in a good mood.

The Brain Fart article was really interesting, I hate those moments specially when I had something important to say. The onces that occur me a lot are the one with the doors and the phones, once in a while I've the feeling I got a message because I felt some movement in my pants.
TDKR trailer was great, July can't come quick enough.
I don't get the 3D printer, I can't understand it, maybe it's too technological to me.
The granma ad and the cats' gif were funny, it got me some laughs.

QOTD:
First and most important to me by far is Nacional. It's my local futbol team and one of the two best in our country and one of the top teams in South America. I began loving it because of my dad and uncle, liking a futbol team over here is mainly influenced by your family and in very rare ocasions the kid prefers other local team.
After Nacional in futbol I support Liverpool and Napoli mainly because of Suarez and Cavani respectively and then any team which has an Uruguayan player in it.
Besides futbol I like Minnesota Timberwolves since the post-KG era because I tend to like to cheer for the underdog I guess and because I liked the logo and jerseys.

QOTD:

NFL: Philadelphia Eagles - I was a fan of the Cowboys because of my dad, then the Titans because of Eddie George, then eventually the Eagles because the time when I really got into football, I watched them bet the New York Jets in like 2003 or so.

NCAA FB: Oklahoma Sooners - Didn't get into College football until I met my best friend, he is a Sooners fan and I followed suit.

MLB: Texas Rangers - Hometown Team. Baseball is really the only other sport I follow besides Football and College Football.

NBA: Dallas Mavericks - Hometown Team. Cheer for them in the playoffs, otherwise don't keep up.

NHL: Dallas Stars - Hometown Team. Same as above.

Great to see the morning other stuff back on the front page of OS. Also congratulations Steve on making OS your full time job. I can`t wait to see where OS goes from here with you on board full time.

The cat in the grill was great and there were some pretty impressive playgrounds.

QOTD:
MLB-Cleveland Indians
NBA-Cleveland Cavs
NFL-Cleveland Browns
College Football and College Basketball- Michigan Wolverines.

The Ohio teams are easy because I grew up in north central Ohio. I picked up on Michigan basketball and football because of an older cousin. I had a cousin 2 years older than me who liked Michigan around 5 or 6 I decided to like Michigan because he did.

QOTD

NBA: Chicago Bulls- I started watching NBA basketball in the early 90's and was an immediate Bulls fan because of MJ, Pip and Horace Grant. Although I don't follow the game much today, I can say that a part of my heart is with the Bulls.

EPL: Arsenal- Dennis Bergkamp is another of my sport heroes and I followed his career closely both at Arsenal and for the Netherlands; two teams that have always played flashy and stylish Football.

NCAA Basketball: I have always supported teams that brought a different proposition on the court, be it The Wolverines, The Tar Heels, The Blue Devils, The Rebels, etc. I'm always looking for that special team that stands out from the rest.

I was really hoping that Dark Knight Rising trailer would completely hook me. I'm still excited for this movie but that didn't add to my excitement at all.

Grandma video was money!
 
# 29 aloncho11 @ May 2
The Dark trailer was cool. I'm really looking forward to that movie!
 
# 30 slickdtc @ May 2
Love that this is back, but wish it was on the forums. Perhaps can we get a thread where you just link to this? I'm on Tapatalk more then my machine these days, and it's a hassle (or I'm a lazy) to come to anything non-forum.

That said...

The playgrounds link = awesome. Looks very European though, I bet if they brought that stuff here they'd get freakin' sued for someone falling off the Blue Whale. *sigh*

Cynical slick is out...

QOTD
NHL - Flyers: born & raised
NFL - Bills: Tecmo Super Bowl
MLB - Reds: MVP Baseball 2003
NBA - Hornets: NBA Jam (when they were Charlotte)
NCAA - BC Eagles: FLUTIE!!
