knightni Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Does that sound much better than playing with Chris Paul, Baron Davis, Steve Nash, or Jason Kidd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Each player has multiple millions of reasons to pick a team. Chicago has a decent lifestyle for players. That counts for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Generally, Chicago would seem to be in the top 5 or 6 markets for free agents based on intangibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 02:23 PM) not much interest in the 2nd half of the Bear's Cardinal's game Pretty much, as grammar police, I'd say that you don't need the apostrophe in "Cardinal's" because an apostrophe there means that the Cardinals are owning the game. I'll make an exception today because well, the Cardinals ARE owning this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) Q is the only letter of the alphabet not in any of the names of the 50 states. Edited November 8, 2009 by dasox24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Really appreciate that someone caught the use of the apostrophe and Fox went to the Packer - Buck game. Bye Bye Bears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 "Vermiform" is one of my favorite biological terms, referring typically to morphologies that are worm-like in form and/or function. The name for the pasta we call "vermicelli" derives from the same root for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Why do you always manage to find something Latin to put in here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Zephyrus, the warm west winds, is a Latinized carryover from the Greek, and that is typical of the few Latin words that begin with z. Proper names like Zeus and Zeno are an exception. As to why I sprinkle the alphabet thread with Latin — I had five years of it in grammar school and high school and use it daily in the biological sciences, so why not spread the joy?

I read your post starting with "Why. . . ?", and in my addled mind I translated it as "Y". Bother. A shame, too, as I have a doozy of an X word ready to roll.
