Puff piece. Still doesnt hit on why he was asked to dial it back. The kid was taking reps from MLB ballplayers in drills coming off of a s***ty season. Its not "choosing your son" its being an inflexible asshole.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 08:41 AM) There are a lot of these prep schools already in basketball. Tons, Montverde is a big one in Florida not too far from IMG as well.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 11:23 PM) Zootopia was really good, but I can't see "young" kids liking it too much. Seems more for like 8 to 10 year olds, not like 5 year olds. FULL of social commentary, but a lot of great references for adults, including a Breaking Bad scene that was awesome. my two year old spent about 20 min watching it and the rest of the time running around. He likes movies like Shrek, Inside out and Cars though so maybe its just repetition.

So what about it? Bishop Gorman is another one like IMG. There will be a few more popping up. Kids on teams like IMG are very heavily recruited in only one trip to their school. Entire teams have been given offers.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) Left lower corner. There is a big white spot. I actually was there Saturday and it was quite noticeable when you walked by. Oh interesting, I saw on the news they said there wasnt any damage. they should send us a good player for that.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 02:40 PM) Because there is. Where?

This was covered awhile ago, they said it never actually made contact that he turned it off before it got there.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 11:40 AM) As I see it, Hayes clearly will admit to killing Smith, but will argue a multitude of different mitigating or absolving theories, such as self-defense (absolving), unreasonable belief of self-defense (mitigating), provocation (mitigating) and probably reckless homicide (mitigating). A lot will depend on the testimony of a Smith's wife but regardless, I highly doubt Hayes will come across as credible to successfully argue any of these defenses. I mean, how many suspended sentences does this guy already have, including firearm possession. At some point, your lawyer can only do so much.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 11:13 AM) I don't think it was random, I just think there are some strange parts of the story. Hayes just sticking around and reportedly telling people to call the cops, instead of running. Seems like he may have a little bit of experience with the legal system....

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 12, 2016 -> 11:03 AM) The video shows Hayes abruptly stopping in the middle of the block in a (successful) attempt to get Smith to rear end him in order to give him an excuse to shoot him. And of course the lawyer is alleging that there may have been more than one gun at the scene. It's something he can claim in court that the prosecution will have a hard time disproving. Of course it could also be a "total coincidence" that Smith had dinner with the cop that shot this guys dad and then somehow he killed Smith. just totally random.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 11:23 AM) New campuses opening soon: The University of Michigan at Daytona Beach, The Ohio State University at Myrtle Beach, Michigan State University at Destin. This rule doesnt hurt Michigan or Ohio State or Notre Dame at all either, but it KILLS Toledo, Northern Illinois, Miami U etc. And it absolutely murders thousands of HS kids who want to earn a scholarship.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 02:00 PM) Guess it wasn't a concussion after all? PHEW

The change to playing your own division first is dumb and needs to be looked at again. The central is head and shoulders better than everyone in hockey.

Omg. It sounds like this may not have been just road rage

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 10, 2016 -> 02:54 AM) Former Saints DE Will Smith shot to death. Crazy.. over a fender bender at that. Taken from his three kids over nothing. One of my favorite Buckeyes ever. Rip

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 06:13 PM) Panarin to Kane 9 seconds in. Bonus clinched. He's only going to get better too. What a pickup.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 08:07 PM) Are you talking about The Force Awakens? If so, how are the bonus features? Haven't touched it yet. Watched the movie twice. It's so good.

It's pretty easy to fix CPS actually but nobody wants to think about it. Raise taxes in Chicago. The rest of us pay a pretty penny where we live for good schools. My taxes in Chicago were 25% of what they are in a good school district. You want great schools? You have to pay.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 07:22 PM) Ya the whole "this is why he shouldn't play left field" narrative for this play is pretty silly. Well he really shouldn't play the field. He's a DH.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 12:44 PM) I have the exact opposite impression. My Pilot has 175,000 miles and outside of getting rear ended a few months back which is what made us relegate it to basically just 3rd car that is a junker, it is the only issue we had. I've known multiple people with Jeeps and I don't know one person who kept one for any extended time who didn't have issues and that included major issues. Even my dad, who loves his Limited, Diesel Jeep (1.5 years old now with about 40K miles), has had quite a few issues (he still loves it) but it is stuff I would have been annoyed about if I owned the car (by the way, my fear with owning my Hyundai is these same sorts of build quality issues which usually you never identify until you own a car for at least a few years). I will say Jeeps drive very nice and are really really beautiful cars. If you are doing real 4x4 I would also agree...I wouldn't buy a Honda if I needed legit offroading (just not at all in there wheel house). Jeeps off-road functionality is second to none when it comes to that....and if i was going luxury, I'd go with Audi AWD or Volvo's SUV with All wheeler drive. That new Volvo SUV is absolutely amazing (If I wasn't such a tight wad, I'd look at it as our eventual replacement for our highlander). I should have clarified 2013 and later jeeps. And my only experience is with the Crv which sucked royal balls. People seem to love the pilot. The GC didn't get good until Mercedes built it.

Looking at his record at home vs the Indians this shouldn't be surprising to anyone.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 04:12 PM) With Sale and Quintana the next two games the Sox are still in a good position to win this series. Danks gonna Danks I suppose. Shhhhh. This one game makes the entire season!!!!!

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 8, 2016 -> 04:09 PM) They took whatever momentum they had from the Oakland series and completely flushed it down the toilet. f***. Nah. Momentum is only as good as your next starter. And ours is pretty good
