Can Kobe jump back in time and win the series?

Maybe he should jump back in time and stop the Lakers from trading Shaq instead.

Kobe failed it.

Where's MC and the rest of his Kobe man-love crew?

Kobe sucks.

Kobe Bryant pouts and whines when things don't go his way. He's got no class, no sportsmanship, and he's immature. I don't understand why he's got any fans at all. His basketball skills are hyped by the media and overrated by the league. He's a typical ball-hog. He had the benefit of having Shaq in LA but then he whined and cried because he felt like he wasn't getting enough attention. He's got ALL the attention now and his team is down 3-1 and about to lose the series. Kobe was nothing more than a role player in '00, '01, and '02. There are plenty of players in the NBA right now that have more heart, drive, talent, and leadership than Kobe could ever hope to have. If you're not from LA and you root for Kobe you need to find a local team to support and quit supporting the crybaby.

Sure, Ray Allen just lit him up like a neon sign, but dude, why was he over there slamming his fist into a chair and mouthing some pretty obscene complaints? Cry baby much? Did I miss non-call or something?

I've seen a lot of questions asking, "why do people tip poorly" etc. Now it's my turn...

Just how much do you wait-service folks REALLY make on an average night in tips?

Ah, ha-ha, let's see just how honest these answers are. lol

Yesterday I read a question...

I went back and edited after reading some answers after mine because I got to thinking...

"Tipping expectations have gotten out of hand. If I want to treat myself to a nice entree from an escalated priced restaurant, whether I dine in or take out, tipping is optional. I've left "nice" restaurants without leaving a tip, having zero complaints with the service, and being fully satisfied. It was the end of the month, I was just about broke, and I didn't feel as though not wanting to tip should have kept me from enjoying a nice meal. I paid for the food, didn't make a mess, and wasn't loud. Tipping is optional. When I'm not strapped for cash I tip extremely well but again, I'm under no obligation to do so. Waitstaff have no right to expect a tip and certainly aren't justified in giving dirty looks if they don't get one."

I remember when the Gracies ran little bitty ads in Black Belt magazine. They ran those ads for years. No one really cared about BJJ until Hoyce started choking people with his gi in the early days of the UFC. Now, beyond question, BJJ and Gracie Jujitsu have become one of the most popular styles in the world.

My question is this; how does BJJ compare to Professor Wally Jay's Small Circle Jujitsu?

I have limited experience (though some) with grappling arts. I'm interested in everyone's perceptions, MMA's, Traditional Karate, etc etc.

I look forward to some great answers!

It had been several years since I worked out on a heavy bag and I felt pretty good after my workout. That evening my leg started aching and for the last couple of days it's been really hurting me. It feels like the ball socket in my hip wants to pop out. Did I strain the muscle or is it possible that I cracked the joint? It hurts pretty bad but I don't want to waste a trip to the dr if I don't have to.
