QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 03:53 PM) "I'd vote for 75 year old Bernie Sanders because he really speaks to me, but absent him, I'll probably go for the younger Rubio because he's younger and hopeful and optimistic, like when he says that the current democratic president that I liked is purposefully destroying america. Appealing to hope. And I'm really into his policies." - Young women I just dont see any anti-gay anti-abortion candidate EVER being able to capture the younger audience.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) Kasich isn't very far off from her classical triangulating moderate/centrism. Better personality. Bloomberg is fiscally conservative but socially liberal...he won't get as many from Sanders, although polls stiil how him splitting off 5-7% in a three way race from Bernie. Rubio is just much younger, attractive, hopeful/optimistic and reminiscent of Obama to many. See his speech at Timberland and you'll understand why young voters would be drawn to him. The problem with Rubio is he is a republican so he has to change his personal views to those of the people giving him money which doesnt jive with the younger, more diverse voting base. PLus he's a windup doll.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 03:19 PM) You know...I don't really get it. A lot of what Greg has said is actually true. Have you guys watched a lot of the clips. Most of the time I watch any coverage on the election, I just roll my eyes at the absurd arguments made on both sides of the court. You all do realize the vast majority of people who vote know nothing other than some slight aspects from what the media says and more often are going to go and vote based upon party and likeability. For example, someone just not liking someone because of there look is a total normal reason to not vote for someone or how they carry themselves. History has shown how superficial voters are and yet all of you want to ignore those facts. I have talked to numerous people who like trump purely because they here the media say he tells it like it is. None of them know what he actually is saying, he just "tells it like it is". Thats it. You all give people too much damn credit to be frank. And maybe someone will whine and say, well now we are smarter, no we aren't, Howard Dean's speach ended his campaign (did he have other issues, sure, but that one speech sure has hell torpedoed any remaining odds he had and it isn't like he said anything bad). Plus lets be realists, I could make an argument that Trump (and I think by now, all of you know I don't like Trump) is the most selfless of everyone in this campaign as he's the only one who hasn't been totally bought out (of course I'd also tell you he has a gargantuan ego and that is probably more to do with him running). They are all selfish candidates who have all kind of interests with gigantic egos. Anyone thinks otherwise is delusional. The potential exception to this is Sanders, who genuinely seems passionate about what he wants to do (and I'll give him credit for that) and is an extremely rare candidate from that regard. Trump is taking on HUGE sums of money from private donors now.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 01:34 PM) Anyway possible to build a package around Johnson for Puig? They didnt sign Latos to trade Johnson.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) http://slickdeals.net/f/8491785-coupon-for...tphone-required If you aren't afraid of the health scare, free Chipotle burrito. They had me at "free" burrito I got one and I've been eating there the whole time with no issues, Im a burrito bowl addict.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 11:38 AM) Monogamy is a part of every "major" religion unless it's a polygamist deal. Not really any gray area there. I am not a cheater but I think it's disengenuous to immediately write off every one who "cheats" as a selfish person. If I was married for 10 years and my wife just stopped wanting to have sex with me am I just supposed to never have sex again? Marriage is part of religion. There are animals that are monogamous so it's not brought on by the incorporation of some sort of religion. There are many other things you can do to facilitate sex without cheating on someone you decided to marry.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 09:45 AM) So that Zawaski piece had the wrong numbers in it: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/02/08/zaw...wks-jets-trade/ If you can get Ladd, you get him. He's a great locker room guy, isnt that old and is a fit on the top line.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 08:48 AM) People favoring trustworthy individuals is not based on religion. Having compassion for someone you care about has literally nothing to do with religion. Some people care about others and will respect and love that person. Some simply only care about themselves.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 7, 2016 -> 06:35 PM) Ironically trying to counter the fact that he's not another version of the inexperienced and unprepared Obama by saying how effective he is at destroying the country isn't the greatest argument in the world. Nor is citing your own accomplishments when you don't actually show up for the votes but simultaneously dinging Obama for golfing when GW Bush doing the same or hanging out at his Crawford ranch was just being a man's man. He did it again last night, completely repeated his canned 25 second blurb and actually realized it at the end.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 02:31 AM) Please watch this and tell me there's not a bias AGAINST the Republicans. O'Reilly gets it right and hits hard. http://video.foxnews.com/v/4745292784001/h...1#sp=show-clips Oh Greg

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 10:05 PM) Zawaski wrote a column outlining how they could get Ladd: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/02/08/zaw...wks-jets-trade/ He seems to think the hawks have less than 1 million in Cap space. Also I keep forgetting how young Shaw is, it seems like hes been around forever.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 05:00 PM) Yep. Didn't spend a dime of his playing money. Pretty much just lived off his endorsements money. The dude is smarter than people portray him as... and he's set. Thats the way it should be done. Kudos to him. NFL careers are short and you cannot be blowing all that cash because its over before you know it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 04:29 PM) For my two cents, anyone who is willing to cheat to be with you, will be willing to cheat on you. Bad news. Agreed.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 11:18 AM) 2. Adolphus Washington DL OSU- Rock, does he have the strength to play the 5 in a 3-4? He's got good length, and he certainly looked impressive at the senior bowl......This draft has Nkemdiche falling to the 2R. Washington has a red flag as well, but he seems rather mature in the way he's owned up to it. I really wish I knew more about the 3-4 defense. Hes a pretty prototypical 3 tech in the 4-3, but he started out as a DE and could probably play the 5 quite well. He's quick.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 02:00 PM) Jack and Trevathan both would play Jack LB spot under Fangio. I honestly hope the Bears can take Jaylon Smith at 11. He's reportedly going to be back in season and if so would be excellent pick at #11. I think the Bears will trade Bennett and end up with 10-11 draft picks. Some free agents to possibly target: LB Danny Trevathan, DL Malik Jackson, OLB Mike Neal, CB Leonard Johnson, OL Brandon Brooks. I think they get one of the free agent TE's as well: Dwayne Allen or LaDarius Green. Smith tore that knee out pretty bad, I dont like taking him at that pick to be honest. I think he's going to take a ton of rehab for the ACL and LCL and possible nerve damage.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 01:21 AM) No, the wife caught him before and was deeply hurt, but stayed married. He said it was a one time thing and wouldn't do it again. The wife is very nice and a mother of 2 so cool little ones. The guy just is an admitted sex addict and had the one bad experience with the psychiatrist and won't go back. This guy is a selfish piece of s***. I wouldnt even be friends with a guy like that.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 09:28 AM) My really good rubio joke fell flat. I liked it, but I read a better one in the NYT this morning about Rubio as a windup doll.

Pretty excited about the draft.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 7, 2016 -> 11:16 PM) What he's doing .... uh, • Expressing distaste for Hillary a lot. • Making a TRUE statement about superficialities being important to American voters. Do a Google on Nixon's appearance on TV vs. Kennedy. It was a BIG FACTOR. • Forgive me for posting about Hillary screaming when I heard about it on TV (somebody said it was sexist to comment on a woman screaming and not a man, because if a man does it it's perceived as forceful) and then sure enough I listened to her most recent speech and she was SCREAMING while spouting dumb cliches. One poster pointed out it's scary HOW MANY TIMES I've been actually right about some things. Forgive me if I post about Hillary a lot in a Democratic forum. There are only 2 candidates for gosh sakes. Hillary and Bernie. p.s. when I got asked to quit calling them nicknames did you notice I, uh, stopped doing so? If all posters obeyed like that it'd be a better board IMO. Truthfully since I got asked to quit giving my pet names for Bernie and Hillary ... I STOPPED DOING SO. who was that? I do love comparing elections in the 60's to now. People were all over the message boards back then talking about Nixon's sweat.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 07:27 AM) This was an interesting breakdown that basically says the exact same thing. The Panthers didn't change a damn thing, so the Broncos just ate them up. "We Read Them Like a Book" Carolina ran one screen. Denver shower a ton of Bear fronts and blitzes and Carolina had no idea what to do. When you know you have bad tackles against great pass rushers you have to do something to offset their aggressiveness. They did nothing.

Rubio is still somewhere walking around muttering that Obama knows what he's doing and America will be great again.

I didn't realize stars fans were so pathetic and non existent. Reminded me of a Yotes game

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 5, 2016 -> 12:52 PM) Including two high-profiled grad transfers who could have gone anywhere and started and now can't make the postseason. Yep, but there is a reason they chose to go there, and it was a bad choice. Pitino is a scum bag.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 5, 2016 -> 09:35 AM) I've never not had spotify premium and am shocked how useless the free version is. Being able to use it on mobile off wifi is hard not to have. You can still use it on mobile without wifi but it shuffles, which is what I do anyway. It's pandora with being able to choose the songs and playlists.
