QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 10:28 AM) Julius Peppers is going to make a lot of guys look good on his line. Agreed, but he also dropped in the draft (not because of lack of talent) because of a neck injury and even if Peppers is on the line, he still has to make it to the Quarterback and did so on the play on Mount McDouche lol

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 11:43 PM) They didn't tear it apart, but it's a valid criticism. Hell, I've seen youuuuu guys criticize him all season long wishing he would stop throwing off of his back foot amongst other things. Nothing Steve or Trent said are untrue. But I understand, most of you guys are riding a high right now and don't want to hear it. Eventually, if Cutler wants to be great, he's going to have to work on that. Dead Brett says hello

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 10:27 PM) Wow, JaMarcus Webb is similar to Flozell Adams? size-wise

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) Favre clearly fumbled that ball and they blew the play dead... I know WTF

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 08:24 PM) Right I get that some people unnecessarily hate Brett Farve, would anyone care how many times they called Walter Payton a warrior? The guy earned it, for better or for worse. He is out there playing tonight injured, in s***ty conditions for a crappy team. There are plenty of NFL players who would have been sitting on the sidelines next to AP collecting a paycheck. Ive never been a Farve fan, but the unnecessary hate is actually making me wonder what people's problem is. Say what you will but Ive been watching the same telecast and I havent noticed 1 comment that wouldnt be said about guys like Brady, Manning, Aikman, Elway or whomever else is the flavor of the minute, day or week. I mean I would never have believed Id defend Farve, but that is how ridiculous its become. I don't think it has anything to do with his strength, it's the consistent debacle that goes on every year and his primadonna ways. I'm done, I'm back and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over......... Noone is doubting that he is a warrior

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 05:06 PM) Just had my first gargantuan last week. It was epic! I used to get nothing but that, then looked at the nutrition facts on their website. Not pretty

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 05:00 PM) Their bean alfalfa sprouts were bad. The one in Lockport has just been buying them from the local Jewel for the time being, though. http://www.salmonellablog.com/ literally, i was so confused at lunch today as to why they didn't put any on my Beach Club. Wow

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 12:54 AM) Eh, you'd think that'd stop me, but whenever I go to Market (Kenny's place) I'm routinely asked if I'd wish to see the beer and cocktail list. Talk about a fall from grace, when Market opened up, it had really good food. Now it is just horrible, time and time again. We used to go there once or twice a week and haven't been there since probably January.

.....FML I haven't started shopping yet and get paid next on Friday

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 18, 2010 -> 10:13 PM) Can't decide if Illinois or the Bulls were the most pathetic team at the UC today. Losing at home to the Clippers isn't a good precursor for life without Noah. Oh, and MVP calibur players step up and hit the free throws in a spot like Rose was in at the end. Really? So what you are saying is that ALL MVP caliber players shoot 100% from the field and 100% from the line in key situations like that? GMAFB

Score at least one more run

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 12:18 PM) Well define depth? Do you mean 10-deep? Because that doesn't happen in the playoffs. I wasn't implying the bench meant nothing. But typically you're not going to play anymore then your top 7 regardless. I noticed I didn't specify clearly, what I meant was quality of depth. The majority of those teams had pretty good players coming off of their bench that could fill a void left by one of their starters if any had to come out of the game for whatever reason. The Heat for the most part, have nothing close to that with the Juwan Howard's, Eddie House's and Joel Anthony's coming off of the bench. Now, it will change positively with Miller returning but I don't see how 3 players of that caliber can survive with Mike Miller and literally a bunch of fill-ins

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 12:08 PM) I didn't see this posted elsewhere, but... former Sox minor leaguer Jeff Bajenaru is now a pitching coach for the Diamondbacks. http://espn.go.com/mlb/transactions Thanks for that, I would have never thought of him ever again if you had not posted that

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 12:00 PM) Because depth doesn't matter in the playoffs nearly as much. This isn't college. If we play the Heat, they'll feature 3 of the 4 best players on the court. That could not be further from the truth, nearly every team that wins has great depth Pick out a team on here that didn't have it because I am not seeing it. http://www.nba.com/history/finals/champions.html

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 11:53 AM) When has depth ever overcome star power in a playoff series? The Blazers of the early 2000's tried it. Didn't work. There were teams we beat during the title era that were deeper. But we had Jordan. End of story. It's a superstars league. I agree every team to win in the past 20 years had some type of superstar/s (except for maybe the Pistons), however, these teams all had extreme depth, not old man Juwan Howard, Eddie House, James Jones and Joel Anthony being the prime group off of the bench.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 11:32 AM) Looks like the Heat are taking over. Wade has basically said f*** it and isn't waiting around for LeBron anymore. It was inevitable. No team with that type of talent is going to underachieve long. I want to be excited about the Buls. But it's hard when ultimately you know they have little to no chance against the Celtics, Heat and probably the Magic. The Heat are vulnerable, they've played most of their last 10 game winning streak against garbage teams. They have lost to the Pacers, Bulls just beat the Lakers, why wouldn't they be able to beat the Heat (a team with no depth in the playoffs)? I am not saying that one team (or the Bulls) is superior to the next because this year is wide open with quite a few elite teams in the East but C'mon, we have three all-stars on our team too along with depth that they can't even touch

Bulls looking to add JR Smith....again? http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nba/col...&id=5919781 Will they then trade him somewhere else a day later?

I hate when people play Madden like scumbags, line up for onside kick, go back to regular kick then change it back to onside and doing this about 4 or 5 times. I let this guy get to me and he came back and won, I hate when people play like that

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 26, 2010 -> 06:45 PM) Gaiser wound up being the better DJ over Richie Hawtin last night. Good times all around though. I got there when Hawtin was playing "Butch - No worries", stayed for 2 drinks and left. Couldn't even breathe in there and have never seen it so packed, however, I did see Seth Troxler the other night and he was incredible. Coincidentally, I have seen Villalobos, Hawtin and Troxler all in the past few months and they were just recently named top 3 of the year.

Does anyone remember when nobody was going to beat the Pats in the 07-08 season too?

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 09:29 PM) Flowers can now be traded for a bucket of chicken. Can we make it a 3-way trade and send the chicken over to me for lunch?

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 3, 2010 -> 10:59 AM) Jim Thome hit 52 HRs in his age 31 season...in Philly...not at The Cell.... In Cleveland*

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 3, 2010 -> 03:54 AM) I love the move but Adam Dunn wishes he was the hitter Thome was in 06. He has never had a season at the plate of that caliber. But hopefully fans appreciate him more than they did Thome. It is sad that Thome doesn't get more credit for being productive as he was with the Sox. FWIW, Thome wasn't as good of a hitter (BA wise) when he was in the NL East but was pretty damn good in the AL for most of his career. Hopefully it's not just optimism

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 29, 2010 -> 05:43 PM) I don't really care about the suspension, but it seems to me that it should be at least $50k in fines for each player. May just be me but I think 2 players inflicting pain on each other is a helluva lot different than a cheap shot on a defenseless player
