QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 16, 2016 -> 01:21 PM) I still love Jesse after watching that. I mean I think Colin is being disrespectful to the military with his stance of kneeling during the anthem when everybody else pretty much is being respectful. Jesse says he fought to give guys like Colin the right to protest. That's fine. I can accept that. I still think the way he's protesting is bulls*** but I can accept Jesse's points. Jesse did say, "Whether I agree with what he did is irrelevant." Yeah, I guess so. Like I said, Colin pretty much made a mockery of doing the anthem at sporting events. And the Gabby Douglas thing was so silly that people were mad at her. So as of today I think we should get rid of the anthem at sporting events. Because of Colin, it's kinda finally jumped the shark. Our country is way too divided to play a "National Anthem" at sporting events. Just kill it now and let us all continue to hate each other. That's what we seem to do best as a country. The military is sworn to protect the constitution, in which you have the right to peacefully protest. So not sure how he's disrespecting the military at all.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 16, 2016 -> 12:25 PM) Especially after he started criticizing the Vietnam War more vocally. When he came to Chicago in '66 he was pelted with bricks for demanding fair housing laws. Yes, he was not universally beloved.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 15, 2016 -> 09:11 PM) Cmon CIncy That escalated quickly. Out coached. Herman used a defensive scheme that was used against OSU a bunch to eliminate inside zone and tight zone and UC had zero counter and zero adjustments. That's a coaching deficiency.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 15, 2016 -> 05:12 PM) So Jeff Fisher is expected to get a 3 year extension from the Rams. How the f*** is that guy still employed let alone getting a 3 year extension? I honestly thought this was a joke

See I watched on of those where it was pretty clear someone else entered the house. The ransom note was weird though

They are looking for bugs, so it may actually mean there is a bigger problem

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 12, 2016 -> 10:11 AM) I see no way you guys lose. I see lots of ways. Team is very young, on the road, against a very good team.

OSU rented out Oklahoma's bball stadium for a pep rally on saturday. Man I hope we dont get blown out with that much effort going into traveling there.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 09:43 PM) Ventura isn't the best manager but he isn't the worst. I mean, you really can't blame him for the team's performance this year. He's neither good nor bad, he's lukewarm. And he's partially to blame for sure. They need to get rid of him.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 09:16 PM) ESPNU but it just ended. USA won 4-2. I had a highschool game

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 08:09 PM) This USA-Canada matchup is outstanding to watch. Oh, and Saad should of have some sort of captaincy for NA. Just brutal. What channel is it on?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 12:45 PM) I am a little embarrassed I needed help getting this done but you did the job Shack. You are the man. I put the sticker on in the pouring rain and stuffed my the paper in my workbag as I ran into the car and never saw it again. In any case, I paid with a credit card so they have it on record. Correct. I showed up at 8:27 (opened at 8:30) and they called registration for stickers right at 8:30. I went up to the desk after waiting in no line at all. Then, to top it off, the lady saw my vanity plates and was a huge Sox fan so she was nice to me. I went to the DMV, was there for less than five minutes and not only was no one there an asshole to me, someone was nice to me. It was incredible. It seems like this legal monopoly isn't always a horrible place, just 98% of the time. Nice dude. My Ducati years ago had a f***ed up title, it was shady as hell and the previous owners didnt sign it and it was from Wisconsin. The DMV/sec of state office was so f***ing nice to me getting a new title etc. I also only paid a couple of bucks in taxes as the lady gave me a tip that I bought it for 20 bucks. This year with my harley it was the same. As long as you arent on the other side or being a dick its apparently a good experience

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 11:18 PM) Hey guys, I don't know if I told you guys, but I moved into an apartment with my girlfriend about a month and a half ago. Right when we moved in, we started cleaning and vacuuming and all of a sudden we get this terrible odor from the carpets. Turns out my closet and bedroom smelled like cat pee, and throughout my whole apartment (just under 900 SQ FT) we vacuumed up a full garbage can of cat litter and cat hair (oh btw, I'm allergic to cats). We did get brand new carpets, but not until a week later. Now, I come home yesterday to my f***ing living room underwater. My laptop cord completely under water, and my girlfriends cord and laptop were drenched in water. Maintenance found the leak, they are remodeling the apartment above us, and it was due to a malfunctioning dishwasher. My whole ceiling in the living room has water damage, and they won't be in until Monday to fix it I THINK. My girlfriend's laptop still works for now, but if it craps out in a couple weeks, she would have to pay a $500 deductible through our renters insurance. If I have to file claim, I will be absolutely livid because now this is the 2nd incident within 2 months of each other and i'm getting sick of it. So, I think I might go be kind of a dick mode and request some sort of compensation like a discount on rent or month free rent. Because I am really tempted to just say f*** it and move out. What are your guys thoughts? Should be the owners upstairs that pay and then your landlord IMO

SO i just had my 35th Bday on Aug 31, and as I always do, I ran the slalom course a few times on our lake. I felt fine, did well, but an hour later my upper back froze. Since then (monday) today is my first day out of bed. I've hurt myself skiing many times jumping and wakeboarding and stuff, but almost always my lower back. Man this s*** hurt like a bastard. Nothing is more humbling than having a hard time wiping your ass. Sucks getting older. On my 30th Bday years ago I tore my miniscus. f***ing birthdays

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 12:02 PM) Hurry up s19. Get this mockery of a season over with. By far the worst season ever. Nicole admitted tonight she fakes conversations for the live feeds.

f*** this tournament. Get our players out of there

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 06:38 PM) My wife got me an Amazon Echo for my birthday. What cool things can I do with it? Lots of stuff. https://ifttt.com/amazon_alexa/recipes https://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?node=15144553011

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 07:56 AM) Last night was probably one of the best season opener games I've seen in a while. Yeah it was pretty awesome

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 03:10 PM) Ya I have a small business and at times we have to use square for credit card processing. I didnt think of that either until you mentioned it. Everytime I see someone be able to use that for their SMB it makes me happy that something like that exists. Charities, farmers markets, small vendors etc really rely on that s***.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 03:18 PM) Would the dongle they supply handle that? Not sure because supposedly the lightning is digital and the headphone jack was analog, it IS a use case that Apple doesnt give two s***s about. They really didnt like people making add ons without their permission.

You know what, I'm an idiot. I forgot to realize those vendors that have marketed and made the credit card scanners etc that plug into that port. They enable small businesses to do things like take credit cards on the fly. That's f***ed up and I'm pissed I didn't think of it.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 10:54 AM) I don't think you can charge and listen to music though (when using the lightning port. Do you do that often? The Apple ear buds never once stayed in my ears for more than 2 min, I would never ever ever use theirs. And technically BT emits 1000 times less radiation than your phone.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 10:15 AM) I don't really have an opinion one way or the other on what Apple did (I don't use an iPhone in any case) but I will call bulls*** on the following: -Apple trying to force everyone into their own, overpriced proprietary standard -Everything going all-digital, which means DRM will become the norm, and interoperability will die As wireless becomes more of a mainstream standard, it will improve, and people will deal. The ironic thing is their own internal security team is HUGE on open standards.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 7, 2016 -> 06:32 PM) I have misplaced my car's registration. My license plate sticker expired in July and I went to the DMV, bought the stick and misplaced the registration ID card. I have googled around and the DMV's site sucks (shocking, I know). Before I waste my life at the DMV, I wanted to make sure that I can actually get a replacement upon going there. If anyone has any info/experience on this I would appreciate it. Yes, but I believe you get to go into the shorter line instead of the actual DMV office, at least thats how it is in the Melrose Park location. I had to do that for my motorcycle last year and it was pretty fast.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 8, 2016 -> 08:37 AM) Sure I do. In my car. I have an amazing pair of noise cancelling headphones that aren't bluetooth. There isn't anything else, aside from "slight water resistance", another megapixel, and the missing headphone jack to go 7. Technically the new phone has a headphone jack through the Lightning port in case
