Count me in the "I seriously was caught totally off-guard by this" group.

No idea where else to put this, but Bradley Manning's password was TWink1492. lollerskates

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 21, 2011 -> 12:44 PM) Doesn't Gasol's contract expire next year? That should get you more than Boozer + Korver. Well... they got him for basically nothing, so...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 21, 2011 -> 09:14 AM) Remember, the playoffs are compressed somewhat too. This is not such a bad thing, there are stupid long delays during the playoffs that they could do without.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 21, 2011 -> 08:53 AM) Some of that won't change. football is a sport where there are purposeful collisions. quarterbacks are not typically the ones you see with these symptoms. You do now becuase of the prevalence of the artificial surfaces. However, a factor that people don't talk about because it isn't as populr of a topic is that much of that brain damage can be link to steriod use as well. This is where the media misses the boat. Steriod use is as big a factor as the concussions for brain damage. http://www.onionsportsnetwork.com/articles...football,26140/

Bradley Manning is on trial like literally across the street from where I work, and there is a bunch of media which is to be expected, but there's a bunch of annoying f***ing protesters blocking traffic and hitting people's cars and s***. GO THE f*** AWAY, nobody here is bothering you or has anything to do with it, it's just people going to work/shopping/going to the doctor. They are also busing in OWS protesters. That's just a bit much. Leave us alone.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 08:59 PM) Ill tell you that he was getting a very low price on the bulk of the shipment I guess. Thats a s***load of profit. Getting weed for that price is a crime in itself, it's basically theft. lol.

What kind of drug dealer tells everyone what he does for a living, goes to pick up his supply in person, and asks the cops back for drug money that got seized? LOL

So I guess Sam Hurd really was a possession receiver.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 04:15 PM) He was getting weed for only 450 a pound?? f*** Thats about what an ounce costs on the street. I'm not too terribly versed in drug trading and s*** but I'm sure that low-quality weed in Chicago is at least 1000. He was getting it in Texas, probably cheaper there.

It's been the same thing with Peppers since he was in Carolina. He utterly destroys whoever is blocking him so they hold him, and the refs don't call it... why? Why do they do this?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 11, 2011 -> 11:18 PM) And I don't think that catch he made in overtime was even a catch, either. It wasn't... it was like the fumble was his way of compensating for that not being called incomplete.

The game was literally won at 2 different points. The first time, they had the ball inside the 2 minute warning and the Broncos had no timeouts. This is one of the most basic clock management moves here... you run the ball for 3 downs, taking as much time off the clock as possible, if you get a first down the game is over, if not, the other team gets the ball back with seconds left. Everything is basically a formality, because it's extremely unlikely the opposing team's offense can actually move the ball with that little time on the clock and no timeouts, even into field goal range. EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THIS which is why Barber's mistake was so bad. The second time, IIRC Barber had gotten a first down while carelessly holding the ball and letting it get stripped. He was well within Gould's field goal range even without the first down, just wrap it up with both hands while running between the tackles and fall down. Come on, he's got to know this... he practices against the Bears defense who is COACHED TO STRIP THE BALL. Yes, s*** happens, but he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. It would've been a 40-something yarder for Gould assuming they didn't gain another yard, which he hits in his sleep especially at Mile High. Yes I know he scored the only TD and had 104 yards or whatever, but there's really not any other way of putting it, Barber lost the game. Twice.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 21, 2011 -> 09:52 AM) Apparently the inventor of Siri graduated from my high school 6 years ahead of me. Small world. He sold it to Apple for $200 million about a year and a half ago. The founder of AMD went to my high school a long time ago.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 11, 2011 -> 10:22 AM) Jerry Angelo to retire after season? If Ruskell is going to take over I'd really rather have Angelo. Hopefully George McCaskey is more football-savvy/gives a s*** than the previous set.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 08:10 PM) I enjoyed watching Vladdy for years too. Plus I get to watch Haren, Weaver, etc. Thats some damn good pitching. Thank god my 2nd favorite team will be meaningful for a few years while the Sox are irrelevant (although I'm excited to watch the Sox prospects, assuming we get some). Last year was the least I watched White Sox baseball in forever (during the summer that is). Team was so freaking unlikeable and Ozzie so easy to hate. My 2nd favorite team is the Orioles. So... yeah.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 2, 2011 -> 04:03 PM) Link. lol, stolen off my Facebook profile

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 2, 2011 -> 02:29 PM) Forte with a slow clap in the corner of the room I guess Bennett didn't look at Fitzgerald's deal and say "hey me too!"

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 2, 2011 -> 04:48 PM) This is the Bears. They went with the idea that Devin Hester was a #1 for 4 seasons. Earl Bennett is our Megatron. Minitron Redshirtron I'd rather have Bennett playing X than Williams though, honestly, if that's what it was

Cutler repeated what was already known. He doesn't know any more than anyone else when his hand is going to heal. Oh and I laughed at the part where he said he was pissed at Knox.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 29, 2011 -> 02:16 PM) Actually, Gingrich didn't say any one of those three things. Some candidates favor getting rid of Dodd-Frank, but not all of them. I'd prefer it be modified, and the rules be solidified. A few candidates want to outright kill the EPA - Paul, Perry, Bachmann I think. Gingrich wants to re-tool it. And end taxes period? LOL "re-tool" is code for "kill"

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 11:26 AM) We need lostfan to confirm or deny her claims. you want lostfan to be unemployed, lol

Mixed feelings about it. It would be the 4th pro system Cutler has been in for his career. Just as he's finally starting to make progress in this one. Hopefully if they do get another OC, it'll be someone off the Shanahan tree (BESIDES KYLE) that runs the West Coast offense so it wouldn't be starting all over again.

Seriously though re: #13... for every big play he makes (not counting returns) he blows 2 easy ones. I think that ratio held pretty close today, actually. I try really, really hard to like Knox but I can't get that excited about him. Then I always get lectured by the "true fans never talk s***" crowd when I point out that a tipped pass by Knox on 3rd down into a DB's arms was really really bad, that gets pretty old. Or, you know, falling down while the ball is in the air leading to an interception. "s*** happens" yes, but it happens to Knox more than any other WR. He is held to the same standards any other WR should be held to.

Can we do some DNA splicing and merge Keith Bogans and CJ Watson? Or can we merge Ronnie Brewer with Kyle Korver? Either one of those would do the trick.
