QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 06:56 PM) I have completely soured on rap. I can't even get myself to listen to Kendrick's or Kanye's new albums now and I just don't like Drake despite his skills. Just grew out of it unfortunately. Mostly listen to rock/alternative or singer/songwriter type stuff but everything I listen to is old. Whether it's five years old or forty years old, it's old. I can't get myself into any new music. I feel like this genre is dying. All the kids like country, EDM and like 16 year old rappers who do weird drugs or Gang bang or have one eye. Long story short, I need help being directed towards up and coming alternative or singer/songwriter type music. I hate country, I hate EDM and can't get into new rap. I like Counting Crows, Modest Mouse, Nirvana, REM, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Arcade Fire, Elliott Smth, Avett Brothers, Wilco, Silversun Pickups, Band of Horses, Bon Iver, Paul Simon, Pixies, etc. What is something newish and still active that I would like? Please and thank you. Catfish and the bottlemen perhaps? Thinking new alternative bands

The Bears should look for a new kicker as well. A couple made Gould kicks late in the season and the Bears would've been in the playoff race.

Kane with G, 2A Panarin with 2 G Ladd with G Hawks win 5-2

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 02:51 PM) Duh. Well not really. I thought Saladino and Sanchez could've made it over him. Looks like Sanchez will be in AAA instead.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 1, 2016 -> 08:17 PM) Wow, interesting first penalty for the new policy. Seems like there was a little compromise from everybody to not turn this into a big thing. About equal to a 4 or 5 game NFL suspension. 3 games, really. 30/162 almost equals 3/16. I think it should've been more.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 11:56 AM) Hahaha they really put and MVP incentive in his contract? They did it for Latos too

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 11:03 AM) Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeyman 1m1 minute ago Jimmy Rollins gets 2M in majors. No incentives but some award bonuses (100K MVP, 25K gold glove, 15K silver slugger, etc) Would that mean 2M if he breaks camp in the Majors?

So it looks like Butler may return on Saturday

That 19-36 stretch Melky had during our late July winning streak was fun to watch.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 1, 2016 -> 08:22 PM) Seriously, that is honestly one player that if the Hawks ever acquired him, I'd have a real hard time getting behind them. I'd obviously get over it, but it would be a real tough pill to swallow. I don't think there is another player in the league I can say that about. Yeah Raffi Torres would be great

Reminds me of the same stuff that came out last year at this time about Samardzija

Chicago Blackhawks ‏@NHLBlackhawks 3m3 minutes ago #Blackhawks acquire F Tim Jackman, a seventh-round pick in the 2017 Draft from ANA in exchange for F Corey Tropp.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 12:12 PM) Hawks trade D Dennis Robertson to Carolina for G Drew McIntyre (not the wrestler). Goalie for Rockford for the playoffs. Leighton will be 3rd goalie for playoffs. We also signed a goalie to an NHL contract the other day edit: It was Mac Carruth

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 10:50 AM) Official times are different than the NFL network times FYI. ...why?

2/29 games are quite rare.

The Tribune article was ridiculous

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 08:13 AM) How about' 'racial' instead of 'racist'? Yeah, that works

Happy Leap Day

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 08:04 AM) Yeah this thread title really needs to be changed. You can claim his comments were dumb, shortsighted, unnecessary or whatever you want, but in no way were they at all racist. Very misleading. I think you're misinterpreting it. I made the title and I don't think the tweets are racist. The controversy (which is undeniable) regards the tweets being perceived by many as racist, hence, Adam Eaton Racist Twitter Controversy. If a mod wants to add a softening word between "Eaton" and "Racist" or remove "Racist" altogether, then so be it.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 12:53 AM) It doesn't matter. Most of the stuff we talk about on here really doesn't matter. He has no incentive to talk about it. You say "public figures" are talking about but I am sure you mean actors. So actors are talking about something happening/supposedly happening in the acting world. If there was a race issue being addressed in baseball, then he obviously he has every right to be involved. I guarantee you he wishes this situation didn't happen. There's reason for that. I agree, but his incentive was really (unrealistic) trying to stop racist conversation and appreciate everybody at the Oscars as an American. There was at least reason behind the original tweet.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 12:04 AM) Oh god, did they finally show footage at The Cell? One of their lead producers name is Nick and they have shown like 20 different stadiums, but not the Sox, despite Nick being a huge Sox fan. Was wondering if they were hiding the lack of new scoreboard in CF. The new scoreboards aren't finished yet in-game but they're said to be working on it

Here's the clip.
