QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 09:19 PM) The Sox took it slowly with Sale year after year and look how well that went. It seems to be the one area the Sox have excelled at the last few years Exactly. Keep him fresh long term anyway. He's a future horse.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 09:15 PM) Excited to see McDavid in person tomorrow, one of the first picks in my ticket draft, the Bulls take all the Saturday nights. But from last count, teams coming off the mandatory bye are 3-8-1 so my hopes aren't up for the Hawks win tomorrow. Gonna be sluggish.

Pitt vs CBJ is nice.

Just keep him healthy for after this year.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 08:41 AM) I got mine on Amazon for $150, shipped from Beats, and came with a $30 credit for itunes, so basically $120. Very worth it to me. https://www.amazon.com/Powerbeats3-Wireless...keywords=beats3 Got a pair at costco, yeah they rule so far. I dont know if they will be worth the price long term but the sound is great and the integration with the iphone is pretty cool.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 03:31 PM) Micah Jones commits to Notre Dame. He goes to my alma mater, I've seen him pay and he's a 4 star recruit. I hate saying this about high school kids, but he is awful. He's afraid of contact, a coach told me that, and won't fight for balls. When I heard he was a 4 star recruit, I was dumbfounded. He's big and could get good, but I just don't see the work ethic from him. Same things were said about Taco out of high school, so you never know. They can always develop.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 12:34 PM) In all seriousness, get off of the Disney channel and Nick Jr. The PBS kids shows are a million times better than those networks. Oh I would love to. But they exist, and kids love them.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 10:56 AM) So, Fox News is kind of going after Trump now, starting with Shepherd Smith yesterday and now they are posting polls showing people don't approve of Trump The conservative party is going to be around a lot longer than Trump

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 10:58 AM) Oh, how did I forget about Zootopia?? That one was definitely in there, too. Please tell me it's not Mickey Mouse Funhouse. That show is horrible. Does your child watch Bubble Guppies? That's another one that drives me crazy. Mickey Mouse Club house and Roadster Racers. This week he's picking up on the show Super Why.

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 10:10 AM) Congrats Yoda and soon-to-be-daddy StangeSox! I love being a dad; I love watching my daughter grow and learn and get so excited when she figures something out. It's such an amazing experience. My daughter (who is 33 months) loves to watch the same movie over and over and over and over again. First it was Inside Out, then The Good Dinosaur, then Beauty and the Beast, then Frozen, then the Toy Story series, and we are now on the Despicable Me series. My question to whomever has seen the Despicable Me series....why does Kevin go from short and 1 eyed in the original movie, to tall and 2 eyed in both Minions and DM2? Holy f***, Im in the same boat with my almost 3 year old. Same movies, tv shows. We are on a Mickey Mouse kick and watching Trolls and Beauty and the Beast now. Zootopia, storks, Minions etc have all been in the rotation. I just drop coin in the Apple store over and over.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 12:41 AM) Why is it that so many tv shows and sports on tv are next to impossible to hear? It's like the background noise is always louder than the dialogue and announcers. I have nice flat screens and sound systems, but too often I can't hear the show I'm watching. I think I was happier with my 900lb 32" magnavox. Didn't look great, but at least I wasn't constantly turning to whoever I'm watching with and saying, "what did he say?" There should be a setting on your tv where you can enhance the vocals

I voted in his media fairness survey. Im sure it wont matter but f*** him

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 02:19 PM) For us it was about 6-8 months. But seriously, it becomes the best thing you ever do. It's hard to understand the effect it has on you until you wake up tired as hell in the morning and your kid's smile and hello gives you legit energy.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 01:35 PM) That presser was painful to watch. It can be described as nothing else than the rantings of a mad man. How can anybody listen to him and not think he is completely insane? Cause Merica and the Bible

You'll want to shoot yourself in the face for the first year. Stick with it, it gets better.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 09:02 AM) Totally a success. If Hillary won the election and green lighted this mission and the exact same thing happened, it would have been Benghazi all over again. I am just shocked Trump hasn't defeated ISIS yet. He knows far more than any General how to defeat them. Why is he messing with our safety and not taking care of this immediately? We were supposed to get sick of winning

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 11:26 AM) The snow belt is an entire different animal than on the west side of the lake. We think we get it bad, but it's nothing compared to you guys. You get all the cold and wind and while we get an occasional lake effect snow, nothing like in IN or MI. The weather is so diferent. Last week I flew to Detroit at 6am. I took my dog out and it was roughly 40 degrees, when we landed in Det there was 6 inches of snow on the ground and it was a blizzard all day. Driving 94 from chicago to Det is like driving through Hoth sometimes.

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 08:34 AM) I definitely have to try this greenstreet very soon. Speaking of burnt ends, has anyone tried them at Real Urban BBQ? Really some of my favorite burnt ends to date. Absolutely, I like theirs, I also like the ones at Q as well. I dont know about anyone else but I get super pissed when BBQ places dont offer them, or when their brisket sucks. Piggyback in Forest Park has good ribs, but their brisket is literally rubber. That turns me off bigly.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 08:58 PM) Like any place in the West Loop, avoid it on the weekend, gets really crazy. Yep. I'm a fan of late lunch or a super early dinner and then once you are done you can park at the bar. Im heading down tomorrow for just that, and I plan on getting myself a nice frito pie and some burnt ends. https://www.facebook.com/greenstreetsmokedmeats/ You can see the bar and some of the picnic style tables here. It also has a sort of hidden entrance.

Every day a new joke emerges. What's on the docket for today?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 02:29 PM) There's a reason why that dude was "D1" in every sport and didn't make it. He played football at Bishop Mac in Kankakee. He had a full ride to Indiana State as a WR and then transferred to EIU and f***ed it up. That's not exactly D1. Exactly, he probably had talent and didnt put in the work. I saw a p**** ass quitter on the show last night

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 11:55 AM) I've been wanting to go to green street for awhile, friends have raved about them. I've been there a few times, IMO its nothing short of incredible, at least what I've had. I am a brisket and burnt end fanatic, and it hits both of those hard. They also have HUGE sides and a great bar.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 09:42 AM) Team Jenna, Kailah and Corey for the 'underdogs'. Those other newbs who decided to get into an alliance day one are so f***ing stupid. They've now sent the 6 members of the "other" team forward and now they are going to have to fight each other for the last slots. Just stupid as hell.

It's shocking that people actually think this has been a successful administration so far. This is EASILY the worst start of a new administration in our lifetimes and probably our parents. Its an absolute s*** show.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 11:36 AM) The West Loop is loaded. Take her to Little Goat Diner. That place is the best. Thats got to be my least favorite restaurant in the area..... Open late is pretty easy as Au Cheval and many of the bar/restaurants are open. My recent favorite is green street smoked meats. My buddy's place Crossroads has good bar food. http://greenstreetmeats.com/food/ BBQ and especially brisket.
