QUOTE (Felix @ Dec 25, 2010 -> 08:16 PM) I love listening to Bulls fans b**** about refs. It's incredibly similar to Illini fans b**** about refs. And Bears fans b**** about refs. And White Sox fans b**** about refs. All fans b**** about refs.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 26, 2010 -> 01:26 AM) The Falcons are a solid team. But are you seriously afraid to play them as a Bears fan? Are you afraid of going into Atlanta and playing them in the NFC Championship game? I would much rather play them than the Saints or the Eagles or the Giants or the Packers, even. I agree with this 100%.

I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt today in Houston. If I can't have a "White Christmas," I might as well have a warm one.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Dec 23, 2010 -> 10:30 PM) I dont understand how it is illegal to sell awards you have won. It's the players property they should be able to do with it what they please.... The problem is what it could lead to down the road. What will stop a player from selling something (that isn't worth much) to a booster for a ton of money? A booster could say "Oh, I'd love to buy that Championship ring from you for $50,000." But in reality, it's worth nowhere near that, and the booster is really just looking for a way to pay that player. If the NCAA allows players to sell their stuff b/c "it's the players' property" then they wouldn't be able to stop the above situation from happening. I think it's a s***ty situation, but if you give the players an inch, they'll take a mile. If they received fair market value for whatever they were selling, I think I wouldn't have a problem with it. But there is no way to enforce them receiving "fair market value."

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 10:35 PM) IMO he'll have, and should get, up through this next recruiting class (when DJ/Paul become seniors). The team is led be 2 incredibly soft big guys and a nobody PG he's made into a legit 1st round pick. I think he's done well with what he's got. What he's got wasn't enough, but he's slowly building the talent pool. I wouldn't go that far. McCamey was a 4-star recruit, and even though Evan Turner was the better player on their high school team, McCamey still got plenty of attention.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 10:10 PM) Im not even an Illini fan, but that was brutal call. Its inexcusable and they screwed a bunch of kids who deserve more from a paid professional. Call the foul, let him shoot the fts. That being said the Illini guy should have never touched him. I was just coming on here to post pretty much what you said. That was a weak call. But that being said, Tisdale is a dumbass for touching him at all. There was no need. He was already beat on the play and, unfortunately, he didn't make a "basketball move" on the Missouri guy, which is what I'm sure that ref will say was the reason for his call. Regardless of the call, it was 100% inexcusable for Tisdale to get beat on that play. After a made basket, what the f*** was he doing? You certainly expect more out of a senior.

Happy Birthday, guys

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 22, 2010 -> 01:28 PM) They won by 45 in 2007 I believe as well. Yep, January 13, 2007 against the Grizz. http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxsco...0701130CHI.html Mike Sweetney with a double-double in that one. Damn, even Viktor Khryapa had 12 and 5 in that one... That Grizzlies starting lineup was awful. Thank God they actually have some talent now. If only fans would go to their games...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 04:07 PM) Hopefully Blake avoids the buffets. And the unprotected sex so he doesn't end up with kids from like 10 different women.

Can the season just start already? Dunn, Konerko, Crain, and now more promising news on Peavy than I expected is making me want baseball to be here so bad. I'm usually not in a hurry for baseball to start, but there's something different about this year.

Yep, unfortunately it's too cloudy here in Memphis. I tried to check it out, though.

Devin Hester, you are ridiculous. A bunch of people yesterday were talking about DeSean Jackson being the best return man in the NFL. Um, I think they may be forgetting about record-setting Devin Hester. The one time the Vikings finally punt to him tonight, he breaks it for a TD. He's unreal at times.

Normally you're pretty good with witty replies, but you must admit that was quite a stretch.

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 08:30 AM) Picked up an onyX for my girlfriend last night. We also bought the home kit. I guess we're at the next phase of our relationship, gifts of coffee makers (Kuerig) and radios. She asked why we needed the home kit, and before I could tell her she saw the channel lineup and said, this is so *we* can listen to the Sox games Ha, very nice... I miss my XM radio. I used to definitely love it for listening to Sox games, but plenty of other good sports talk too on there. And, of course, I miss the 90's music station.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 12:35 AM) I don't understand the Texans. They have quality players on their team. It's not like they suck. I don't get it either. I went to that Titans-Texans game yesterday and couldn't believe how dominating the Titans were (mainly in the 1st half). I thought Fisher had completely lost that team, but they sure came to play against the Texans. Regardless, there's no reason for the Texans to not be putting up a bunch of points and their defense definitely has some solid players that should have been able to keep the Titans in check. A Kerry Collins-led/quit on their coach-Titans team shouldn't have beaten the Texans. I hope we get to hear "Woody" (aka Randy Moss) call in to Nashville sports talk radio again this week.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 19, 2010 -> 05:18 PM) I think Brandon Roy's knees are shot but he'd still be an upgrade from Bogans. Hmm... wrong thread?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 18, 2010 -> 12:13 PM) I'm not using the little kid urinal, sorry. If I have to piss right next to you, I will, and I'll have no problem doing it. My response exactly... I actually had a situation like this occur at the Nashville Predators game 2 nights ago. I went to the normal urinal and left the little urinal to the guy walking in behind me.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 10:56 PM) The year Tennessee is consistent is the year the world ends (or Bruce Pearl isn't their coach). How do you beat Villanova and Pitt and then lose to Oakland and Charlotte? No s***...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 08:32 PM) 4-star Ryan Shazier switched his commit from gators to Buckeyes. he then was immediately dropped to a 3-star. Isn't that the way it always is? The star-rankings are fun for the fans, but that's it. What I go by is the offer list. If a dude is a 3-star but has offers from the entire SEC, then he's a damn good player.

The EducationConnection.com commercial is definitely one of the worst commercials ever.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 10:54 PM) there are always a few floating out there, and this may be the one you're talking about, but there is a jewelry store that has a couple at a cabin and it's storming out, and the guy is just insanely creepy and weirds me out. I know exactly which commercial you're talking about. Definitely awful/weird.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 05:46 PM) I get worried about a whole Shaq scenario happening with Dwight in the future though if we don't fix things... Well, he has already tried his hand at a singing career. If it comes out that he's starring in Kazaam 2, then I'd start being worried.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Dec 15, 2010 -> 11:26 PM) I was just on Twitter. I think Mark Teahan is drunk tweeting... His tweets are cracking me up.

I went to the Grizzlies game tonight and they absolutely destroyed the Bobcats - from start to finish. It was like "And 1 mixed tape" out there. The Grizzlies probably had 6-7 alley oop dunks and a few other highlight dunks. It was an absolute treat to watch as a fan.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Dec 14, 2010 -> 08:20 PM) Bears @ Vikings will be played at University of Minn's stadium according to Brad Biggs. Watching the video of them plowing the snow at that stadium was ridiculous. I heard there was 4-5 ft of snow in there... Is that right?
