QUOTE (scenario @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 02:09 PM) I'm guessing the "money issue" is a negotiation tactic. Sounds like another way of saying... "If you want better prospects, then we want you to eat some of Dye's salary." Jerry Reinsdorf: "F*** THAT!"

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 01:15 PM) Huet needs consistent playing time to get it going, but the Hawks can't afford to do that right now. I think something has to be done here sooner rather than later, especially if they still want Sundin. Yes, it's time to part ways with Khabibulin.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 02:38 PM) False. The person below me wants an iPhone for Christmas. False. Way bigger fish to fry. The person below me has DJ Augustin on his/her fantasy team.

That's a lot of research done to prove a point that a crappy player isn't crappy. If we want to go the route of Scott Podsednik again, then we get Willy. No big deal... I personally would like a guy who can do more than just run, but I'd rather see Taveras out there than Owens.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 06:42 AM) I have an annoying cough that just will not go away or even seem to get better. I keep using Halls, but it seems like every minute or so I get a type of dryness at the back of my throat and have to cough. I actually find that #1 Chloraseptic Sore Throat Spray takes care of coughs quickly. The taste isn't that great initially, but it numbs the area of your throat that tickles and keeps you coughless for an hour at a time. It's cheap and over the counter.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 30, 2008 -> 06:58 PM) I haven't liked or used MapQuest in 3 years. Google Maps is awesome. It's the only source I have used for the last 3 years. Considering my Sprint Navigation on my phone is wrong more times than it's right, it'll probably stay that way until they finally upgrade the software.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 11:09 AM) Haha I suppose that gets you off the hook. When you play Mario Galaxy some let me know how it is. My dad got a Wii for his b-day and I might pick that up and try it. Will do, it should be arriving today (unless that seller wants some negative feedback threats).

So I watched the first 11 episodes OnDemand, and the only one I haven't seen is the finale, because they have yet to put it up. I'm hoping they put it up on a week's delay and aren't just forgetting to put it on there. I'm itching to watch the finale. In all, I've enjoyed this season, and I think it's way better than season 3 was... however, it's nowhere near compared to seasons 1 & 2. One thing that gets old is what seems to be the writers being scared to have Vince be too successful. I think they are afraid to lose the underdog complex, but at this point it's just turning into a bunch of people screwing their careers over trying to get Vince a role in a movie that he really doesn't deserve. (Dana Gordon, Ari Gold, even Eric with a promising prospect in Bow Wow). The transition from Vince being a goofup laying on a beach drinking with Turtle to now where all he cares about is his movie career as a serious actor was just too quick and too unbelievable though.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 10:51 AM) And then topping it off with a Desperate Housewives session? I like that show... however I think my obsession with Sons of Anarchy, Entourage, and Always Sunny more than makes up for the previous manhood lost!

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 10:10 AM) Super Mario Galaxy will suck you in. The only thing i can say is that the gravity is gonna mess with you. All I had to see was that 9.7 next to the game on IGN to know it will be great. I remember how much I loved Super Mario 64, and it looks like this is that game on steroids. The Wii takes you back to that time when video games were just fun... it wasn't about racking up kill counts or touchdowns... it was about winning a goofy race, setting a new time trial record, and shooting your friends with turtle shells.

I love that he's a Sox fan, but f*** if that wasn't a waste of time splitting reporters up to their fanhood. Spend those hours doing something important.

I had a really good black Friday. It was nice to already have my hd tv's so I didn't have to be a 5am minion or whatever. This seemed like the super cheap HDTV black friday, as every other vehicle was a truck with a tv box in the back of it. I don't know what made me laugh, but it just reminded me of hunters with deer on their hoods, but this time it was a f***in' tv. Anyway, I pulled off some good deals. One nice thing about having to go to Rockford for the holidays (ok the only nice thing), is that black friday shopping is really convenient and easy. I got all my holiday shopping done, picked up a Wii and all the accessories and s***, and never felt rushed. We left right after the first mad rush in the morning (about 9am, so all the psychos were going to deposit their first haul in the home and to grab breakfast)... so it never felt crazy or anything. The parking lots were packed, but aside from that, it was no big deal. We even got a table in the food court!

Chicago Coyotes However, this one isn't a "legend" anymore, as one walked through my backyard last spring. I was like, "WTF is a coyote doing in my backyard?"

The Wii is the s***. I can't put Mario Kart down, and Mario Galaxy will arrive in the mail today. The wife is even playing, which is nice to see, because that was half the reason I sold the seXBOX 360.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 09:31 AM) If Pacman can get 15 chances, Im sure Plaxico can get 10 chances Well yeah, I guess if the Cowboys needs a WR, but they seem to have plenty of those.

Derrick Rose The Reason

I think this could spell the end of the road for Plax. The Giants are fine without him, and I don't see another team wanting to add that head case. He's not as good as TO, who is about the only person who gets away with goofy antics.

QUOTE (G&T @ Nov 30, 2008 -> 08:20 AM) Possibly true The person below me laughed at the term "protein shake" in Markbilliards' post. False, skipped to last post. The person below me is eating pizza during the Bears game tonight.

The 360/Wii swap was awesome. Wii blows it out of the water.

brunettes... and I married one.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Nov 26, 2008 -> 08:49 PM) December 23, 2006 Traded from Texas Rangers to Chicago White Sox for P Brandon McCarthy in 5-player deal Well f*** my ass. I'm still thankful for it. What are you all thankful for?

Wasn't it two years ago that we landed John Danks, or was that X-Mas break? I think it was Thanksgiving, and if that's the case, I'm thankful that KW landed John Danks.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Nov 26, 2008 -> 02:04 PM) You gonna try and get a Wii bundle on Ebay or something? Or are you going to buy it at a store and get the warranty and such? The Gamestop by me has new Wii's in right now (or used for $199 and you can buy a 1 year warranty for 19.99, but then you don't get wii sports, so I'll go new so I get that too).
