QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 15, 2008 -> 09:29 AM) You guys really do believe Obama is going to beat the Clinton machine, don't you? One of two things will happen. 1. Some way, shape or form the Machine will wheel and deal to get the nomination. They'll offer Obama the VP so they can put the token n***** in his place after the inauguration. I predict race riots if this happens. 2. Obama gets the nomination and Hillary gets VP. A few months into his term, so "white racist skinhead" assasinates Obama. Net Result: Hillary can be POTUS for 11.5 years. I'm leaning toward number 2 as the most likely scenario. I'm leaning towards this being one of the most offensive and ridiculous posts I've read in some time. EDIT: N star star star star star helps a bit, but it's still a ridiculous post.

That Toews goal last night was ridiculous. As for throwing some fun names out there, we needn't stick only with the Smithov picks. How about some pathetic FA signings... Doug Gilmour, Paul Coffey, Wendell Clark, Theo Fleury. yech. Oh, by the way, my pick for the Hawks' top target come 2008 Draft is none other than David Toews, Jonathan Toews little brother, who is wracking up points galore this year at Shattuck-St-Mary's Prep School in Minnesota --I'm certain he'll go in the top half of round one--maybe even top 5-10 by the time the rankings come out. Seriously, how f***ing sweet would that be?

Steven Phillip Kazmierczak is the name of the shooter, according to the Northern Star.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 15, 2008 -> 08:40 AM) This is a 2008 thread. You can't count 2009 too. wild or bold. it didnt say realistic.

Swisher will hit 50 homers.

Down to 198. I hardly worked out this week, but ate well so continued with a slight drop. Plan on picking it up big time before my trip to the DR on th 24th.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 14, 2008 -> 11:01 PM) Yeah there are still 3 people I can't find, and I have significant concern about 2 of them. I can only hope I'm wrong. Good to see you are alright man. Can you believe it happened to our school? I hate that NIU now is associated with what this psychopath did. One of the victims worked for the star and they have his info up on their site www.northernstar.info

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 14, 2008 -> 08:33 PM) so he wasn't a current student then. According to Peters, no. I can't believe it. I have a friend who was actually in the hall when it happened, thankfully she was sitting near the back...

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 14, 2008 -> 08:23 PM) death toll up to 6, including the shooter. 4 females, 2 males (one the shooter) The teacher was actually a grad student The shooter attended NIU as recently as Spring 2007, studying Sociology in graduate school. There's a good chance I might know him, bc I minored in sociology and graduated in December 2005. That'd be really crazy.

I'm so f***ing depressed right now man... 4 people dead. This just hits too close to home, I've been in Cole Hall countless times. I can't even fathom what those families/friends are going through.

The students are all on lockdown, so they might not post right away. This is craziness, it happened right in my old stomping grounds of the NIU Communications Dept (graduated a little over 2 years ago) and I stayed in Neptune for a year. I hope all of my teachers are alright. CNN reporting 18 injured. No deaths reported though rumor says the gunman took his life.

QUOTE(Chi Town Sox @ Feb 14, 2008 -> 11:02 AM) I am registered on the sox site - where do you find the password? should have been emailed. It's "FAN"

I went with June 14th vs the NL Champ Colorado Rockies.. bleachers.

This game has been quite entertaining.

It's a f***ing joke that Obama has won 23 of 34 states yet this race is still this f***ing close.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 12:36 PM) Think Obama throws out the first pitch Opening day? Although I am not certain of the primary schedule. No.

QUOTE(shipps @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 12:02 PM) Man that was brutal,but what did he get cut with the blade on the stick? Naw, it was the skate blade when the players flew by.

Nice work on the awards, Jeremy! Congrats to the winners!

Foxsports reports that the Twins have signed Livan Hernandez. This really isn't that big a deal, except for the fact that they listed his age as 33. No chance in hell he's under 40!

QUOTE(shipps @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 09:00 AM) I dont watch much hockey but Iam surprised this doesnt happen more often.Did the player that cut him make a no-no kinda move that most players wouldnt do that usually prevents this kind of thing? No, it was just a fluke where he was flipped off balance and his skates shot in the air. He had no control over it. You want to see something truly disturbing check out a highlight of Clint Malarchuk.

It's not like he's wrong on the subject...

Well, an evening at Bourbon St. = more work needs to be done this week to wind up down for my friday weigh in!

An Emery/Khabibulin swap would be ideal. I hope there's some truth to that rumor.

1) Buehrle, 2) Swisher, 3) Dye

QUOTE(joesaiditstrue @ Feb 9, 2008 -> 02:20 AM) the thing that sucks about MLB.tv, is the blackout restrictions I live in central IL, so we don't have WCIU, or Comcast HD (odd, because we have Comcast down here, and I have the HD Package.) When a game is broadcast on WCIU, I will not be able to watch it on MLB.tv because it's blacked out. They assume that, because I live in IL, and the game is being broadcast on an Illinois station, that I should be able to watch it, and thus am in the blackout-area. I bought a one month subscription to MLB.tv a year ago, and this is what happened, so I'm not just blowing smoke up everyone's you know what. The MLB's blackout restrictions are a joke. My father lives in Rockford, IL and can't get an mlb package that allows him to watch the St. Louis Cardinals (his team)... and they are 5.5 f***ing hours away! MLB refuses to do anything to address the issue either.
