The Beast

After watching a few episodes of the Office, I have to admit that Jenna Fischer is attractive.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 11, 2010 -> 10:17 PM) yes sir, grew up right off highland ave. I drove past there every weekday to pick up my brothers my junior year of high school (they went to Montini). Where'd you go to college and what do you do now? Almost all of my class at DGS either went to COD, ISU or UIllinois. QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jan 11, 2010 -> 10:53 PM) I live close to Highland Ave now off 31st Street in Oak Brook. I was a south subs guy growing up, but I like it over here. I don't know much about the schools around here though outside of their football programs. According to your profile you live in the West Loop now right? My wife and I wanted to move to the city, but with 2 cars and our offices are in the 'burbs...it just didn't make sense. I really like Oak Park and River Forest area of Chicago. I'd definitely move there if I had a job out that way post graduation. How are the football programs in your area? DGS is decent with Belskis at the helm.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 11, 2010 -> 02:25 PM) Anyone live in Downers Grove right now? That seems to be the most acceptable area based on our initial search in the west. Lots and lots of decent sized homes in the 250-350k range, lots of green, surrounded by homes that are 3-4 times as expensive, and at least with a couple of these houses, pretty "reasonable" taxes. I live in Downers and while I can't speak about what it costs to live where I do, I can tell you that you are better off sending your kids to Montini or Benet than Downers Grove South. It's all relative because I was misplaced in classes at DGS, and other schools heavily promote electives (or classes that aren't useful), but I would say if your kid thrives in smaller classes, send them to the catholic school. If I were to do it all over again, I would have spoke up on how they misplaced me in my math courses and went to Montini. Another plus about the catholic schools is that there seems to be a level of fairness in sports there. I never felt welcomed to football at DGS, and that is why I quit. Great place to live, however.

After giving it some thought, here is what I'm proposing for my 2010 resolutions - Live in the moment Meet a new girlfriend Meet new people Pursue the working in the sports industry dream, even if it wasn't what I thought I'd do in the first place (sports media job) Be realistic at the same time with how things can turn out Volunteer, continue to try new things Have a blast in my second chance at college

Have a blast in Davenport, grow some testicles and enjoy college.

She's got some guns on her.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 2, 2010 -> 06:55 AM) I tend not to crush on celebrities or people on TV/big screen, because I usually prefer women that aren't skin and bones. I'm definitely a fan of the hourglass. Women need curves. I also think most women look better with little or no makeup. So I am a lot more likely to crush on some girl I see on the train, or walking around the city, than an actress or model. There are a few women in Hollywood with a little more on them, that I like - Beyonce (though she seems to fluctuate), Kate Winslet, Scarlett Johannsen as examples. But oddball crushes? OK - Julie Warner. Okay, then I say Erin Andrews.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 1, 2010 -> 10:00 AM) I think the point was to be as random as possible. For example: Andy Gonzalez is my top worst player of the decade. And Lindsay Lohan likes cocaine! So there! Apparently Romo did graduate with a degree in Communications in 2003. I just didn't fancy Dotel, that's all.

That asshole cock blocked me last night...bud light and jager bombs...mmmm EDIT: At the party we played some Madden and I created myself as a 7 foot wide out with 99 abilities. That made for good times and an 85-47 Bears victory.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Dec 30, 2009 -> 04:30 PM) You crushed his dream! MONSTER! Meh, I'd rather go after some college girls. I stand corrected about the rumor circulating the Daily Eastern News - Romo graduated with bulls*** in 2003 (BA in Communication Theory). Some fine journalism students there are there. Not sure who else of celebrities I'd go after, though.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 30, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) You sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo have a shot at her.... ...not Yeah, you don't either. Who gives a s***? Why don't we all settle for some second grade college girl we dated and live in the suburbs. Does that sound good? Great, grand, wonderful. Somebody add Jessica Biel to this list if she hasn't been added already.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Dec 30, 2009 -> 03:05 PM) ^^^^^^^^^^ My biggest celebrity crush atm. I'm 21, she's 19, she's legal and she's not with Taylor werewolf anymore.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Dec 29, 2009 -> 01:39 PM) Really? Top 10 worst of the decade? Did he run over your cat & lie about it or something? Really? Did Tony Romo graduate? Hell no, he's a dumb ass. I'm not a big Dotel fan is all. I'd rather see Kelly Wunsch out there than Oh, Do Tell.

I think it calls for the hot chick thread all over again.

Taylor Swift

I would definitely try to bypass any of UIC's pre-reqs and go to Roosevelt or DePaul. Preferably DePaul. If I'm not mistaken, DePaul has got one of the best business schools around...I might be going for a Master's in PR or some bulls*** like that at DePaul.

Where in the hell are these message boards that the Tribune claims to have?

Octavio Dotel.

Jim Thome.

After debating for hours about who to start today, the MeistersoftheMidway edged out the G@lloping Pandas version 3 today, 71.22 to 71.14 with Adrian Peterson left to play for the first championship win in five years. ATL netted the team 21 points today! I actually started Josh Morgan at WR (didn't do anything for me) and Beanie Wells at RB (over Thomas Jones). Time to celebrate in front of the Bears bench tomorrow - I got tickets yesterday and am prepared to make a scene directed at Ron Turner, the offensive line and Jerry Angelo.

My fantasy football team is in the championship game for the first time ever! So, I'm trying to find the best lineup possible, but it isn't easy. QB - Matt Schaub WR - Jerricho Cotchery WR - Robert Meachem RB - Thomas Jones RB - Adrian Peterson FLEX - Ray Rice TE - Kevin Boss K - Shayne Graham DEF - Atlanta I have the following players on my bench: QB - Peyton Manning WR - Roy Williams, Reggie Wayne RB - Beanie Wells, Marshawn Lynch, Maurice Morris, Michael Bush TE - Heath Miller I would start Manning, however, he isn't likely to play the whole game and the Jets have the number one ranked passing defense. Reggie Wayne is going to be covered by that pesky defensive back on the Jets and I think Heath Miller and Kevin Boss are a toss up. I'd pick up a new kicker in a heart beat but I was just curious of what you guys all thought about my fantasy league. The statistics for the league are as follows: Offense Passing Yards 50 yards per point Passing Touchdowns - 6 pts Interceptions - (-2 yards per point) Rushing Yards - 20 yards per point Rushing Touchdowns - 6 yards per point Reception Yards - 20 yards per point Reception Touchdowns - 6 pts Return Touchdowns - 6 pts 2-Point Conversions - 2 pts Fumbles Lost - (-2 pts) Offensive Fumble Return TD - 6 pts Kickers Field Goals 0-19 Yards - 3 pts Field Goals 20-29 Yards - 3 pts Field Goals 30-39 Yards - 3 pts Field Goals 40-49 Yards - 4 pts Field Goals 50+ Yards - 5 pts Point After Attempt Made - 1 pt. Defense/Special Teams Sack - 1 pt Interception - 2 pts Fumble Recovery - 2 pts Touchdown - 6 pts Safety - 2 pts Block Kick - 2 pts Points Allowed 0 points - 10 pts Points Allowed 1-6 points - 7 pts Points Allowed 7-13 points - 4 pts Points Allowed 14-20 points - 1 pt. Points Allowed 21-27 points - 0 pts Points Allowed 28-34 points (-1) Points Allowed 35+ points (-4) What do you all think? EDIT: Added Shayne Graham, dropped Billy Cundiff Dropped Marshawn Lynch, added Atlanta DEF. I'm starting Heath Miller over Kevin Boss. Considering starting Beanie Wells over Thomas Jones.

ESPN Radio 1000 and 670 the Score echoing the report, but it doesn't look like they checked any sources. Nothing is official on whitesox.com.

2 or 3. I come from a family of 5 kids which includes 2 sets of twins. It's okay, but as the middle child I must say I wish there were only 3 of us. It's tough keeping track of every kid.

In reality, how much is Pods looking for? 3 years, 12 million or something?

Kevin Brown, anyone?
