We all know what he did to the Spartans in the NCAA tournament and the Cardinals in the Superbowl. Looks like he has his eyes on the Lakers this time around, in 6 games no less...

Discuss.

yea the pres doesnt see #24 for the shameful kid he really is. I never could stand that punk and after what he said to magic about shaq not winning a title in la without him i knew hes really got an ego problem and i hope dwight and the magic sweep their arses, it means less of the basketball season but to see 24 fail twice to obtain a ring without shaq would serve him right and prove to everyone that shaq was the most valuable player on the lakers when they won 3 titles with that combo.

Predicting that N.C would win the championship isn't that big of a deal.

They were the consensus pick.

You're just saying that because you are afraid that the CIA and FBI are monitoring this website, and you are afraid to challenge the word of a Presidential Mandate.

It is ok, though. We Pistons fans can band together and overthrow the mighty sports conspiracy that goes up all the way to 'Top Men'. Do you hear me? TOP MEN!

Same goes with the Steelers...

The Steelers were even more of a no-brainer.

Shouldn't Mr. President be more concerned with what's going on in global politics than the NBA finals?

Bush choked on pretzels TWICE while watching sporting events during his tenure. Only difference is he wasn't making predictions on TV... Nor was he being asked to.

Obama is in charge and he should convince Congress about this whole B.C.S. issue. Discuss!!!!

Convince?
Don't you mean 'convince'?

Ehh, there really isn't much of a difference this time around.

Italics along with the mini-quotes are important at conveying an implied meaning when voice inflection is not possible.

Such is the biblical italics+mini-quotes example found in Genesis:

"We wish to know them."

vs

"We wish to 'know' them."

Without the italics+mini-quotes, the sencence doesn't even make sense, much less convey much meaning, but add the quotes, and you know what they're talking about...

News flash! they monitor EVERYTHING on the internet. They have software where if your put a sequence of words to search it scours over the entire internet an finds them. For instance, Bush, Terrorists, Bomb. stuff like that. Theres just one way they spy on us. An we allowed this cause the pathetic patriot act, aka the constitution killer

Who woulda thought the president actually is supposed to do things, besides being a glorified celebrity of power

Dr. J. Why did you have to go through that lexture?

-Yeah, Dr. J. All you had to say was "Key Word Emphasis."

-Obama didn't have anything to do with tonight's beatdown of the Magic. Dam! Deer in the headlights. They gave up right after Kobe took over in the 2nd quarter.

-Since Pietrus is gonna appear on so many of their posters anyway, he should get a puppet in those Nike "MVP" adds.

-The Magic make the Lakers look physical. Very active Laker defense. The mad defensive scrambling and opportunistic (sometimes sloppy) creative offense reminded me of the 1990 Bad Boys after they lost Rick Mahorn. This is the way they played against Portland in the finals. L.A. is much softer mentally from inexperience, but the Magic never figured it out. Another Phil Jackson presentation.

Lol at you. Oh come on, the Cavs were no consensus pick this year.

I heard that the gas price managers could keep gas at a very low price but they choose not to. That is proof that they are greedy sons of beoytches.

So... experts are just human beings that aren't good at guessing.
