Mike Ditka wasn't half the coach that Bill Walsh was.

QUOTE(JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Jul 13, 2007 -> 10:50 AM) i would have to disagree with that majority of pro baseball players would have a resume like his. the fact that he was all-state in track in the 100m and 300m hurdles eliminates ~90% of the guys playing in the bigs. i couldn't name one guy on the sox right now outside of jerry owens and pods that could have done that in high school. plus, there arent many baseball players that i know of that are stud hockey players too. baseball and football or baseball and basketball yes, but hockey adds a whole new dimension than those sports - skating. add that to the fact that he was named the state's player of the year (given it is north dakota) is quite a feat in itself. holding the career hits record at university of nebraska is a huge accomplishment considering he only played 3 years of college ball and considering the tradition of the huskers baseball program. Looking at the state meet times in North Dakota, it isn't that hard to make all-state in the 100 Meter or 300 IM. Some of the all-state guys in ND wouldn't even qualify for state in Illinois.

Kickers and punters are NOT athletes....or even football players, for that matter. They are guys who got cut from their high school soccer team. Also, Konerko is too slow to be considered a great athlete. His lack of speed and exposiveness is unbelievably glaring. I bet he couldn't break 13 seconds in a 100 meter dash.

"The Major League Baseball All-Star Game is the premier television and sporting event of the summer. The start of our 'There's Only One October' campaign leverages this huge All-Star week audience and points them to our pay off month," said Tim Brosnan, Executive Vice President, Business, Major League Baseball. "Combining Dane Cook's talent, the video sharing components, and the depth of our broadcast partners' commitments to the campaign makes it our largest and most unique effort ever." What talent?

QUOTE(bschmaranz @ Jul 3, 2007 -> 12:46 AM) I'd still say no if I were Mark.... the guy deserves to play here for the next 4 years if he wants to. Yeah, well Frank Thomas deserved to finish his career with the Sox. As Clint said in "Unforgiven", deserves got nothing to do with it.

That woman is ugly.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 2, 2007 -> 09:04 AM) The triple is the most exciting play in baseball. I'll go with the straight steal of home.

Esther Canseco blew me last night.

Here's hoping Farmer takes an extended break, like, say, the whole season. I'd enjoy listening to Stone all year.

No.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 27, 2007 -> 02:28 PM) That's what you think, but you don't know that for sure, none of us do. I personally couldn't care less about Frank Thomas right now, that being said I know a lot of people still care a lot about Frank and want him to succeed, that I certainly understand. But for someone to cheer for him to beat the White Sox in a game, that makes absolutely zero sense to me. Since a lot of people disagree with you, maybe you're crazy and the rest of us are sane.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 26, 2007 -> 02:13 AM) Forest Whitaker won best actor, that's pretty cool. How does an average actor like Forrest Whitaker win an Oscar, yet a legend like Peter O'Toole never does? QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 25, 2007 -> 11:15 PM) Departed was good, but not as good as Goodfellas, Raging Bull, and Casino. Should of won for all 4!!! Agree with you on Raging Bull and Goodfellas over Ordinary People and Dances With Wolves, but I liked Braveheart better than Casino in 1995.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Feb 24, 2007 -> 01:32 PM) Frank has not always been nice to the media, but I have never once heard that he was a bad teammate. I love the man and always will, he will always be my favorite player in a White Sox uni and favorite baseball player ever. Can't wait till he is enshrined in Cooperstown. A perfect summation of my feelings.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 10, 2007 -> 01:11 PM) Leno>>>>>>>Letterman .........Leno is decent at delivering pre-written jokes during his monologue, probably becasue he was a stand-up comic. But other than that, he is a complete ass clown. Letterman has a very dry wit and he is extremely sharp in terms of bantering with guests. Letterman is much, much funnier.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Jan 22, 2007 -> 03:29 PM) Apples and oranges. By apples and oranges, you must mean that Royko wrote scathing columns with an acerbic tone and wit that can't be matched, while Roeper constantly churns out nothing but fluff?
