QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 08:50 PM) Ironic this is Deadspin gold material.....yet nothing on the site... Which is actually kind of surprising? I kind of expected them to at least have a blurb on this, Gawker has been posting leaks to the live broadcasts of the trial since the get go, I figured they'd at least throw up a half-assed post about losing. I suppose at this point it's all moot. Denton's gonna have to sell off assets to cover the $115M while he appeals so it feels like a sinking ship, no reason to be consistent at this point. I just hope Deadspin finds a good home, while I have my reservations with the site they're still solid, especially compared to the alternatives. I miss Leitch, even if he did invite in the eventual downfall that was Daulerio.

QUOTE (Real @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 08:44 PM) and about half of the remaining 500 fans. there couldn't be a more idiotic decision made. . Well, while I think the idea of trading Sale now over this stupid s*** is ridiculous, if he actively defies Reinsdorf they may not have a choice. Reinsdorf is the most loyal owner in all pro sports, I trust him to handle this in the proper manner, in the crazy, hypothetical scenario where Sale MF's him, there's really no coming back from that. Sale is a f***ing incredible talent that makes White Sox baseball palatable even when the team is s*** but he's not bigger than ownership.

Daulerio did them in by acting like a f***ing child at his deposition. Not sure what he was trying to accomplish other than entertaining himself but condoning the publishing of child porn while under oath lost them the case on the spot.

Whelp, this story has officially jumped the f***ing shark.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 07:53 PM) Well if you signed a contract to work somewhere based on an agreement that a condition be fulfilled, and then than condition was no longer fulfilled, wouldn't you want to reconsider your agreement to work there? I mean this isn't rocket science. It doesn't necessarily lead to a legal conclusion, as Badger pointed out, but one can certainly see why the parties behaved as they did. All that's left is people who want to comment on the character of the parties or weigh in on who they believe was in the right or wrong. If my working there was 100% contingent on this specific condition being fulfilled, no exceptions, then that condition would be written into the contract.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 07:19 PM) If Jose Anreu or Chris Sale brought their kid to the clubhouse every day this spring and Brett Lowry didn't like it, do you really think KW would have done the same thing? That is the one question to me is most important. KW talked about being fair, but I think, and perhaps incorrectly, LaRoche's status as a player had something to do with this. Just want to point out that, typo not with standing, this is an impossibility and you should feel bad for even suggesting as such.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 11:14 PM) Doesn't this almost make LaRoche look worse? There was an agreement. Things can change. They had a discussion, apparently a week ago, and LaRoche continued to bring his son into the clubhouse every day. Another conversation is had, and LaRoche picks up his ball and goes home? Circumstances change in business every day. Especially when that agreement isn't built into his contract.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 11:02 PM) David KaplanVerified account ‏@thekapman 13m13 minutes ago Do not believe for 1 sec Adam LaRoche is in wrong. After doing my homework I promise you Sox said Drake could ALWAYS be around. idiot. So, realistically, why would Kaplan be so firmly in LaRoche's corner on this? Aside from meat company thing that Fathom is mentioning that I'm not at all familiar with. He's being incredibly aggressive on this topic.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 10:59 PM) Hey man, don't question his "phenomenal source." Soon he'll be defending his dick size and calling the Sox org "Sad!".

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 10:35 PM) Kal, did you watch the latest Broad City? So many good one liners, especially in the 1st 10 min. Another stellar opening scene, the woman falling down the steps, possibly dead by the end with the couple using the selfie stick was great. Fantastic episode.

God, I f***ing hate Kaplan. Of course this s*** would come from him.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 10:03 PM) Was it in writing? No

QUOTE (venom4789 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 07:45 PM) I still dont understand why people are upset about this. His boss told him not to bring his kid as much and laroche said fine he quits. I like this post.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) Ok, so let's just throw this out there... Did Kenny act alone and get the exact reaction he wanted? I don't think there's any chance.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 06:24 PM) I'm gonna comment first, then read all your comments so to not let them influence me. Yes I despised LaRoche perhaps more than any other player in Sox history. But now, after reading Kenny Williams wouldn't let him bring his son to the clubhouse every day, I have changed my tune. I would gladly see LaRoche hit .150 with 80 percent strikeouts if it meant bringing him back to stick it up Kenny's backside so to speak. What a chicken s*** thing to do to LaRoche. Players bring their kids all the time to clubhouses. Very sad. Wonder if this will hurt the Sox in the future trying to sign guys. Again, I thought LaRoche was a pathetic hitter and I even despised his beard, but after reading this? Let him come back and bleep you, Kenny. FAMILY OVER EVERYTHING Not every f***ing day.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 10:51 PM) Hey, someone finally listened to greg and retired. Someday we'll be able to +1 posts, that day you shall receive a gift from me, my friend.

Yeah, I'm down with Morneau for a few million plus substantial incentives. It's a solid fit at this point.

Rongey's on the Score right now, says he's hearing that LaRoche just doesn't want to play baseball anymore. This sounds about right and if that's the case I really hope he sticks to his decision.

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 14, 2016 -> 05:15 PM) I have to say I am enjoying this whole FA period and leading up to the draft as far as the Bears are concerned. They may be pretty mediocre next season but I knew coming into it after they started this rebuild that it would be times like this that I should look forward to. The speculation, the FA additions, the trades (hopefully), and the drafts. There are a lot of moving parts right now and it is really interesting as a fan sitting back a watching it unfold. You get an idea of what coach Fox and Pace are thinking as the overall picture starts to get clearer and clearer. It's just really nice to have faith in the people running the organization. They have a plan and they're executing, it doesn't feel like the rudderless ship of previous administration(s).

Zach Miller's back on a 2 year deal.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 13, 2016 -> 08:56 PM) But didn't they also give Turner something like $2.5 million? Nope

Bears sign Hicks to a 2 year deal.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 13, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) I went back and started from the beginning. Like any show a few of the episodes are hit or miss, but even the mediocre episodes have a few great one liners. The start of this season has been fantastic, especially the bike chain episode. It's my go to for lazy day rewatching, i'll just throw on a random episode and I'm guaranteed to enjoy it. Actually just rewatched the bike chain episode and yeah, it's awesome. I love the pace of the show, they really take their time and let the scenes breath, not a lot of cuts, it ends up feeling like a very real moment in the life of Abbi and Ilana rather than a tightly produced comedy. It's incredibly unique in many ways.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 12:22 PM) Broad City continues to be awesome It's great and somehow continues to get better each season.

Also re-signed Unrein to 2 year deal.
