QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 12:58 PM) I am fully aware of the rule, and still think Boozer's inclusion is ridiculous. If he was an expiring, fine. But he's not. Hence, I believe this potential trade is a figment of someone's imagination. Gotya, yeah, I agree with that part.

My mother-in-law wants to get me a birthday present. I want White Sox tickets. My birthday is 4 days prior to single-game tickets going on sale. The White Sox website says to purchase them at Dominick's. That is LOL. Whichever one of you elite gentlemen (or women) helps out gets a cookie.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 11:25 AM) More seriously, I think Viciedo is going to look a lot better this year. Tell me, is this also the year Gordon Beckham breaks out!?!?!?!?!?!

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 12:55 PM) I have a team to get ready. Our first meet is in two weeks. You're on the wrong board to complain about such things. Most of the people who post here have 8 feet of ice in their front yards.

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 12:54 PM) I hardly watch any TV and my wife watches just a little more. NCIS, Elementary, perhaps one or two more some weeks. I decided to order a Roku 3 and see how close that will get me to cutting the cable. HD sports = reason I will never quite cable/satellite. I need a viable, in-market alternative for watching my teams before that could ever be a consideration. Also, Vanderpump Rules.

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 12:51 PM) I've had to cancel almost have of my golf practices. We have another 42 and drizzly day today. Oh, you poor thing.

There is a zero percent chance that Peppers is not cut.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 12:02 PM) The Bulls do it because they with this trade they can increase the chances of getting him to be a Bull next year. The 3 firsts aren't that big of a deal as they most likely won't be lottery picks. Also, the crazy thing that makes me think this has to be false is the inclusion of Boozer. The Bulls would love this, because even if he was amenstied, they still have to pay him the difference between his salary next year and his salary with the team that takes him. The Knicks are stuck with him next year if they trade for him. It really doesn't make sense for the Knicks unless they know Melo is out of there. For the Bulls, that trade is a no brainer. The Bulls need another star or two. Thibs can get guys picked up off the scrap heap to contribute and be decent role players. There's a little rule in the NBA regarding trades with teams at or near the cap and salaries having to be damn-near close. The trade actually cannot happen without Boozer.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 11:47 AM) This is actually terrifying. I thought I was free and in the clear. Now 3-24 the rest of the way seems unattainable. I'm not sure they will win another game? When do they play milwaukee next?! I am following it eagerly.

Bob Costas's eyes are getting a break tonight, and Matt Lauer is stepping in to host the NBC coverage.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 09:26 AM) NBC Gold Zone is awesome. Olympic take on NFL Red Zone with the same host. Why did this update take so long to find its way to me. This is great. Too bad events will end shortly.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 08:15 AM) 3 firsts going from the Bulls to the Knicks and your reaction is that the Knicks wouldn't do it? Neither side would do it. The Knicks won't trade their only draw, and the Bulls would never part with the firsts when Melo could just sign with them this offseason. I will add a disclaimer that "anything can happen" to not have another "LeBron signs in Miami" situation.

I have a man day coming up where we all draw our fantasy baseball draft position and then party all day. It's on March 8th. We wanted to possibly do a cold 9-hole outing with three foursomes. Sadly, it could be like 50 degrees from now until March 8th and I doubt all this snow would melt. C'est la vie. Whirlyball or bowling plus some brewery it is.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 07:32 AM) Temple lived a long life, RIP I'm kinda shocked she was still alive, honestly.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Feb 4, 2014 -> 08:10 AM) DIAF. Correct that. It's grammatically correct.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 12:45 AM) Apparently Bulls and Knicks talking about Melo deal. The rumored deal at RealGM was Boozer, Kirk, Butler, 3 1sts, Snell for Melo, Felton, Shumpert. Take out Shumpert/Butler swap and you got a deal. Otherwise, only 2 firsts. There's no reason for the Knicks to do this trade that was made up by a poster at RealGM.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 10, 2014 -> 02:14 PM) Also, the preview and behind the scenes of GoT season 4 got me pretty stoked for the season. I have refused to click on that 15 minute dealio as to keep myself geeked.

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 8, 2014 -> 11:10 AM) He sells tickets, even just for people to show up to boo him. I don't think that's anywhere near true anymore. Nobody cares about A-Rod.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 10, 2014 -> 07:20 AM) So, Herm Edwards had a great segment on ESPN about Sam That whole segment is awkward, and I think Herm was drunk. The lead in question of it being a "problem" was the worst part.

The Clippers are up 52-15.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 9, 2014 -> 09:09 PM) I don't think your helmet is supposed to crack. Actually, those helmets are designed to crank. They said it on the broadcast.

The Clippers are up 28-5 on the Sixers with 5:40 left in the first.

Arguing T-Mac as the 2nd greatest SG ever is pretty moronic, because Jordan and Kobe.

I'm enjoying Rick Moranis as the color guy for this Alpine Downhill. Also, Bode choked.
