Just stop the game.

Stop calling Illinois and DePaul a rivalry.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 17, 2017 -> 01:53 PM) The tech stuff in cars these days are amazing and will get even moreso. The worry I would have is how easily it seems cars systems can be hacked. They are more secure than a lot of other things but like any internet connected item, you can social hack the hell out of it.

Illinois unis look awesome for tomorrow.

When did Iowa state get s***ty?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 17, 2017 -> 05:05 PM) LOL until someone with a different opinion shows up. I'm like the sole Cubs fan at Shinnicks in here. I will give you credit that even though we disagree on most things you never let it carry over elsewhere. I appreciate that. This forum is specifically for spirited debate and we need to remember we are more alike than different. That’s why we all joined this board. At the end of the day, most if not all of the well known contributors on soxtalk are good people. A lot of us know each other and respect each other. That’s what sets this board apart.

I hate that they are forcing us into two buckets. We aren’t like that. Nobody is

Geez guys. Aren’t we all friends

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 17, 2017 -> 09:58 AM) This is not good. A band of thugs not only robbing people in Chicago but beating them first. It's not good when you can't walk around a big city at 10 p.m. It's like New York way back in the day. I read these type of crimes are now common in New Orleans as well. Cops need to catch these thugs and put them in jail for 15 years. Again these types of crimes can ruin cities in a hurry. Who the hell wants to vacation in Chicago if there's a good chance you may lose some teeth or get a few ribs broken by thugs. http://abc7chicago.com/group-of-thieves-be...5-days/2661203/ What constitutes a "good chance" to you?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 17, 2017 -> 09:18 AM) Hey! That's my car! It does have a lot of tech, but not a touchscreen. I primarily just listen to music through Carplay or Sirius. Everything I need, including navigation directions, is projected onto the windshield by the HUD. Tbh, I don't really use the tech in a manner that distracts me; I find the more dangerous feature can be the active lane assist, which every once in awhile will jerk the vehicle because it misreads the lane line. Yeah, I forget about the active lane assist when I turn it on and I forget my blinker and start fighting my car. I do literally everything via voice or the steering wheel controls. As long as those exist I dont care what else is in the car.

The media is finally starting to unravel Trump's crooked business partners at his hotels. Next the casinos. I wonder how deep they are going to get before the mob steps in and stops it.

So Musa Jallow is pretty awesome.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 11:52 PM) I just thought the South side was dumpy when I checked it out this week. It might have something to do with the weather; drizzly and dreary. The median home price around Bedford park (area south of midway) is around 150k FYI.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 17, 2017 -> 06:39 AM) The spill was mentioned in the environmental thread, don't think anyone brought up the elephant trophy thing. I'm sure his sons love it. Mueller has issued subpoenas for Russia related documents from the Trump campaign. It's the first time the campaign itself has been subpoenaed. https://politicalwire.com/2017/11/16/muelle...trump-campaign/ Heres a proven fact for the thread: Elephant hunters/poachers have micropenises.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 09:20 PM) Donald "grab them by the p****" "dozen accusations" "barged into miss teen dressing rooms" "'I'll be dating you in a few years' to a 14 year old" Trump is currently trying to claim the moral high ground on sexual assault. Still no comment on Moore, though. He is pushing investigation into the single accusation against Franken when he has almost 20 against him including his own admission. Crazy.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 10:15 AM) Well ultimately that is why Franken will get away with it. Franken will argue it was a comedic sketch and that they mutually agreed and it was all for laughs. The photo is stupid and definitely bad. I doubt that anyone in that helicopter was raising serious objections to a sexual prank like that. Its absolutely wrong and definitely could be sexual assault. But without other people coming forward, its hard to imagine that this will end his career. If he is smart he just keeps his head down, doesnt say s*** and lets the news cycle pass. If its true it would be good for the dems to oust him as soon as possible. I think the story is going to take a little longer to debate though. You can watch Leann grind up on Robin Williams and other comedians during that tour, and its going to be used against her. All politicians who are accused of this type of conduct should resign if its legit, period.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 10:07 AM) Unless some other people come out against him, he likely will get away with it. His defense might as well be "At least I didnt whip it out." You'd assume since it was a large USO tour with many people that someone will be able to speak up on the accuracy of either of their stories.

The USO show is all online......One could say her and Robin Williams had strange interactions...

QUOTE (Quin @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 09:30 AM) Franken accused of sexually harassing a morning radio anchor. The photo out there is pretty awful. Its a weird story, she was upset about the kiss during a comedy routine that she agreed to, and then a picture where his hands are hovering over her chest while she is sleeping. Its very werid. But I agree with Hannity's next segment, any politician accused of sexual misconduct should be removed from office. Including the president.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 08:25 AM) Could you link it? If that were the case it would pretty much blow this whole thing wide open and also discredit every other accuser. Seems risky. They are claiming someone found his assistant's signature for Moore on another document and copied it.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 15, 2017 -> 11:36 PM) Chicago is the opposite of Detroit. Building more downtown then ever and rent is increasing every year. Downtown Detroit is having a bit of a rebirth. They are building and renovating a lot of the old rundown properties. Dan Gilbert owns about 15 buildings down in the epicenter. Of course Detoirt isn’t nearly the size of Chicago and where Greg is taking about doesn’t exist there. People forget Cook county is more populated than about half the states in this country.

What’s wrong with old houses? Mine was built in 1883. You’ve clearly never been to Detroit Greg. Maybe go there sometime.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 15, 2017 -> 04:06 PM) Like SS said, we can't focus on WikiLeaks when there's bigger news going on. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-pauses-d...s-to-sip-water/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politic...imes/867929001/ http://thehill.com/homenews/administration...peech-for-water Did you guys hear that Trump paused his speech to drink water? Unbelievable. You do understand why they are making fun of him drinking water right?

Everything that dude does screams cocaine to me.
