    My fault. Although a smile or rolling eyes would be nice.

    You can't judge a group of people based on where they live. That's what people do in Russia.

    At least Philly fans show a little life (and passion) at basketball, baseball and football games. Ever been to a Rocket home game? I once asked a guy selling beer where they kept the books, he asked what I meant, I told him I thought I was at the library.

    and here I thought they were a cheap imitation of En vogue [ En vogue minus the actual singing ability]

    Jeff - Do you think the musical talent is on par as years pass or are they the product of marketing, producers, and simple songwriting?

    That was the first time I ever heard/saw Destiny's Child (I live in a cave). And my God, they were bad. It isn't the sort of music I listen to anyway, plus the sound and lighting was very poorly done (as has been mentioned), but I still think they were bad. And it seemed like there was something particulary incongruous about having that kind of jiggling and prancing at a sporting event. I'm not objecting to the jiggling, it just seemed like the venue wasn't right.

    Uh, I don't like Philly fans much either, but I think they are good fans. Many times they go over the top, but the passion they have is ten times greater than your average rocks fans or laker fans, whom are fair weathered, trendy, and bandwagoners (not anyone here at CC.net though).

    As for Destiny's Child, they can really sing. This ain't no backstreet boys lip syncing going on. Does anyone remember the MTV music awards when they did that impromtu at the presentation podium with Wyclef, or are y'all just old, don't watch MTV, and group DC along with hacks that y'all talk about in passing and don't really know about? It's just that some places, the sound don't go right, like when En Vouge was in HTown a few years back.

    About the DAT system though, yeah it is funny. DC doesn't use that. Anyone see the simpsons episode where Bart, Nelson, Milhouse, and Ralph form the boy band? "Thank Youuuu, NASA." That was hilarious.

    hey, me too!!!

    i live in the cave off of Pine street.
    Which cave is yours, the one with the flowers on the front, or the one that reads "Welcome to our cave" over the front door?

    Did you get a good deal, or are you going to have to refinance?

    I was looking in my latest issue of "Monthly Cavedweller Magazine" and it gave alot of tips for winterizing your cave, and how to make your cave pet and child-safe!!!!

    I think the people at the game weren't exactly Destiny's Child's target audience. Those people were probably all next door at the N'Sync show [​IMG]

    I'm sure the tv audience for the most part loved them. I, for one, left during halftime to get some additional refreshments, so I didn't get to see the booing.

    The Party Posse episode was awesome. It would have been better had N'Sync not been guest starring.

    Didn't these guys also cheer when Irvin was laying on the field ? I think Philly fans know of there "tough guy, hard to please" image, and sometimes cross the line to live up to it.

    Sometimes life can be so fair. Way to go Philly Fans, maybe I won't have to hear that r****ded "Survivor" every time I turn on my radio.

    I'm guessing, but it might be Kevin Eubanks eating a corn dog.

    (He has a bet with Jay Leno. Kevin is a Sixers fan).

    I didn't see the Destiny's Child act for the previous game, but there's no way it could have been any worse than those dudes who performed tonight.

    I didn't hear any boos for Sugar Ray tonight.

    Did the introduction of the band by Pat Croce have anything to do with it? Also, no band members were wearing Lakers gear.

    DC tried to be cute, and it just did not work.

    SugarRay's made one decent song, and, of course, they didn't sing it.

    I thought it was amusing that they had Pat Croce introduce the band as damage control.
