QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 08:40 AM) Who are you a fan of so I can hate that team too? LOL Can we just assume the Cleveland Browns?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 08:11 PM) How many Q threads have been closed/relocated so far? Is this the 3rd or the 4th? Can't even keep track anymore. Maybe we need to barrage all the Denver sports media with theoretical Rockies/Sox trades, lol...because this current dynamic of the Astros, Pirates and Braves doesn't have that OOOMPH to get negotiations over the top. Until opening day, the discussion will be constant. Then towards the deadline it'll pick back up again. Worse if we're not competitive.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 06:55 PM) Take out the 2 Sox moves, and this is the lamest off season I think I've ever experienced. I'm a complete offseason junkie and I completely agree.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 06:03 PM) Any player is available for the right deal, but why deal Rodon when we have five seasons of control left with him? Plus his trade value would be much higher with a breakout season or two. Sox should keep him and build the rotation around him Anderson and Rodon probably are not for sale for the right deal, because we have no idea what he is worth and neither do any potential suitors.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jan 15, 2017 -> 01:24 PM) I can't think of any prospects that have ever been rushed and ruined. Is this guy going to say Beckham? LO freaking L if that's an example. Even Beckham had his best season his rookie year. I tend to agree with you. The Sox haven't wrecked a lot of players, IMHO. More likely than not, they have been drafting poor talent.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 04:13 PM) I respect Rodgers and believe he is the best in the game and possibly the best ever. He is a great competitor, fun to watch, seems like a cool enough guy except for his family issues which are weird but nonetheless a good dude. He makes funny commercials and is a great representative of the game. But I hate that motherf***er. We need an upvote button so I can upvote the crap out of this post.

I'm not sure the Rangers can get Quintana. Their prospects don't exactly fit our rebuild.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 04:00 PM) Agreed. I think Rodgers has a very good argument for the best ever despite the lack of rings. Which kind of begs the question: Are the Packers as an organization holding Aaron Rodgers back? It seems like every year they are a flawed team. Is a change needed at GM?

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 03:08 PM) Rodon should undoubtedly be available for the right deal. I have serious doubts they would get the right offer for Rodon, but if they do they should take it. What are you hoping to get? He's young enough he makes it through any rebuild.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 03:01 PM) This. Trading Rodon now would be idiotic. You mean we're not planning on a 14 year rebuild?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 01:37 PM) Any password vault by definition makes it easier to remember your stuff, but does not reduce the likelihood of you getting hacked. Hacking someone's password through brute force is one way. The easier and more traditional way of hacking someone is by resetting their password and figuring out their secret questions. Its quite easy actually. Right. And it's becoming clear that two factor must be done the right way. A lot of time we rely too often on things thieves can take (i.e. something you know or something you have) when the reality is something you are is the most secure (fingerprint). Passwords, especially weak ones, can be figured out fairly easily and you phone can easily be stolen, so most two factor stuff is fairly weak.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 01:37 PM) So if a guy says he would like to sign now for a bit less than he would be able to make on the open market because he likes where he currently is and that team inked him to that deal for the sole purpose of trading his ass thats OK? That's really how you want teams to behave? Not only would the guy be getting traded, but he'd be making less than he could've if he tested the market. You do understand if this kind of situation plays out the idea of the hometown discount will completely disappear? Business of the game. No one forced anyone to sign any contracts.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 12:51 PM) Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 15s Sources: Danny Duffy and the Kansas City Royals have agreed on a five-year, $65 million contract extension. One less potential SP to grab now. link C'Mon Houston, time to pony up! Rick Hahn is having his Scrooge McDuck safe installed.

I don't know what it is about Fangio, but year in and year out he gets passed over. Jim Tomsula got an NFL job over him.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 12:04 PM) Poor guy. Thank you sir!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 15, 2017 -> 07:46 PM) Been a fun one through two periods with the Wild. This would be a really nice message game as MN has been ridiculously hot.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 10:25 AM) My source tells me the market was quiet, and Hahn is trying to give other teams a kick in the butt to speed up the market. You need a better source. No one is saying this.

Rodgers is going to just walk down the field now.

Elliott. Oh my god.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 15, 2017 -> 06:14 PM) Zeke is averaging about 6 ypc. Keep running the ball. Where is the read option game? He's insane. Down 8, I would expect him to get some touches.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Jan 15, 2017 -> 06:03 PM) Controlling the game with Elliott was their best path to victory but Dallas' playcalling since the Pittsburgh game has been more about highlighting how smart they were to draft Prescott. They aren't dead yet, but they should've used Elliott to keep Rodgers off the field as much as possible in the early parts of the game. Agreed, but a lot of that is due to bad penalties. You can't make mistakes which make a first down increasingly difficult. No one wins a shootout when starting down 18 points.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Jan 15, 2017 -> 05:49 PM) After that penalty he missed a guy that would have gotten the first down. I'm convinced the game would be a bit closer with Romo. Who knows though Maybe a little, but I can understand why Dallas sticks with Prescott. He's the future of the franchise as far as they're concerned. Green Bay winning is frustrating.

A real defense would give the Packers fits. It didn't take much for Marinelli to break them to end the half.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 15, 2017 -> 04:21 PM) This is gonna be a blow out, isn't it. Yep. The Dallas defense is a joke. Dallas can't make this many mistakes on offense and beat Aaron Rodgers with that awful crap.
