I enjoyed The Accountant. Part of me wished that it had been more detailed and involved more of his business history, though. The Robotics angle was dull and I really didn't care for Anna Kendrick's character.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 03:03 PM) There's been a couple picks traded today that were a ridiculous "top 55 protected". Anyways I'm hoping that's the case here. From what I read, the BULLS are sending a 2nd round pick to OKC.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 22, 2017 -> 05:33 PM) They haven't made a lot of them. I thought the Salmons deal was a good one (years ago). When we moved various pieces to clear cap in the original Lebron fa summer, those were largely solid moves. The Deng cap dump wasn't awful (although it looks more awful since we never moved Pau). I don't think we've made any bad deals, the real argument you have with the Bulls could be the moves we didn't make, but that is hard to say. I know I would not be happy if we pulled the trigger on any of the deals I've seen rumored / reportedly offered, especially the ones for Butler around the time of the draft. None of us know what we offered for Cousins. My biggest beef with the Bulls has been that in recent years we have stunk in player development. This could mean we have stunk drafting good players or that we stunk in player develoment or it could be a combination of the two. I personally think a bigger issue has been the player development side, but that is more because Paxson has a pretty long-term record of being a very good drafter (and a lot of various statistics back up the fact that under Paxson the Bulls have been one of the best drafting teams in the league). That said, over time Gar has taken a greater role and one of the Bulls top scouts left for Orlando and since those things occurred, we haven't really seen us draft & develop our own players very well. I still think Niko has a ton of talent (even though I can't stand him) and I can't figure out how we don't play Denzel more. He clearly has select tools that should work, albeit, I'd be the first to admit his athleticism is a bit limited. He can shoot and pass quite well and I haven't seen enough of him to say he is a defensive sieve. The Salmons deal cost us a draft pick that turned into Isaiah Thomas.

I've been watching tv/movies with captions for the last few years. I probably have some hearing loss, but it helps me to focus on the movie/show better.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 08:49 AM) Suggestions: Put players on there that are currently on the squad like Quintana, Abreu, Frazier? Or should we put the kids on there like Moncada, Giolito, Kopech, Collins? Are you making it? Can't wait!

Megadeth won Metal album of the year and the Grammy orchestra played Metallica's Master of Puppets as they came up to accept their award. Whoops!

68-94 I don't really see much more than growing pains this season. Many of the next level guys aren't quite ready yet and the MLB options are mediocre at best.

You need photos/info here so that it doesn't get deleted.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 7, 2017 -> 11:49 PM) Lets hope Moncada keeps his plate discipline.. Let's hope that Moncada doesn't act like Puig/Cespedes and actually listens to Abreu.

Probably cancer. I wish him the best in whatever he's fighting.

Isaiah Thomas was chosen as former Bulls second round pick. The Bulls had traded the pick to Milwaukee in the John Salmons deal.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 7, 2017 -> 09:13 AM) Amex always charges a fee, some of the credit card processing companies are now charging for any cards as well as the equipment. Its why you see alot of SMB's with square. I knew that AMEX always did. I meant the other non-AMEX cards charging a fee must be a newer thing.

It must be a recent thing. I know that banks are encouraging consumers to run their debit cards as credit. Maybe they do get something from the merchant.

When I processed credit cards at a hotel, VISA/MC/DIS are processed like cash but, AMEX was processed as an accounts receivable and involved a percentage loss by the business. I've never heard of a business having to pay anything to accept VS/MC/DS before.

Someone stole Brady's jersey out of his bag following the game. Some estimate its value to be around $500,000.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 27, 2017 -> 10:56 AM) This in reference to Abbatacola (didn't feel like going back)? It would seem like going from producing a show to "reading updates every 20/30 mins" would be a downgrade. Unless he's doing a Cubs or special show like Rongey was doing.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jan 24, 2017 -> 11:48 PM) Everything about that was a mistake. Every decision they made was the wrong one. And Jared Leto was garbage. Margo Robbie was okay, but no one could have made that dialog convincing. Edit: The only thing I think they got right were the Batman scenes. That's it. To hell with the rest of it. I finally thought about it this way... Take away their abilities and powers, what kind of story and plot would you have left to interest people?
