Mourinho sacked. One of the best managers in Europe over the past 10 years gets fired for one bad season. Coaching in soccer is tough. Chelsea has more issues than its manager right now I think

I think the Reds/Dodgers need to be separated. The Dodgers are clearly winners in this trade. Their involvement in it at all is really perplexing.

I really hope this doesn't mean Avi is back to being a starter. We don't have any other in house options to challenge him now. I'm on the fence with the deal. I tend to think this is too much to give up, but if we can sign a legitimate OF I'll change my tune to it.

Frazier only under team control for 2 years. Montas/Micah/Trayce too high of a price IMO. Don't really like this deal. I might be in the minority but I think Trayce has a real future.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 15, 2015 -> 09:04 AM) well, you gave the movie more credit than it deserved. i really don't she is funny. Neither do I. Her schtick gets old really fast.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Dec 12, 2015 -> 09:45 PM) 2. I get the feeling that Greg is a social experiment based on trolling message boards. Are you saying that Greg might actually be Ken M?

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 13, 2015 -> 07:50 PM) So Blake bottles had a hell of a year. Jax may be really good next year. He's been good but he's had a much better fantasy year than real year. A lot of his numbers are inflated due to game situations and he's still made a lot of bone headed plays. That said, he has improved throughout the season and that offense has a lot of weapons now. They need help on the O-line but they could be a playoff team next season

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 13, 2015 -> 11:04 AM) You think he's even a first round pick? Absolutely not. But the Browns might.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 10:47 AM) I went to school with a Jehovah's Witness and we had "holiday parties" instead of "Christmas parties" and none of the kids actually cared. Do grown adults actually get upset if it's not called a "Christmas" party? I'm a Christian and I don't give two s***s that people say Happy Holidays instead of Christmas anymore. However, in general, the politically correct police have grown completely out of control in recent years. Everyone is offended or bothered by something. Everything is always someone or something else's fault. And someone is always waiting with baited breath to file a lawsuit.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 09:56 AM) Go visit a school and watch their Christmas, I mean Winter Season, play. They have colleges with Diversity Departments warning people that even a Christmas tree would be bad form and not 'inclusive'. My wife's a public school teacher. They can't do anything anymore. This year their Halloween parties were cancelled as well because a parent complained beforehand that they might be detrimental to their child's state of mind.

They all had better per rush averages than Henry and in the case of Elliott and Cook, they are much better in the passing game as well. Pretty sure Henry's benefiting from the "because Alabama" hype machine

Also, am I alone in thinking that Ezekiel Elliott, Dalvin Cook and Leonard Fournette are all better than Derrick Henry?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 08:21 PM) Henry, Watson, McCaffery are your 3 Heisman finalists Don't they usually take 5? Really surprised Elliott and Cook aren't there. Same with Reynolds (He would be deserving IMO but from the PR standpoint alone I'm surprised he wasn't invited)

QUOTE (danman31 @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 10:27 PM) Outside the shocking opening goal I thought the game was solid quality. I don't know what the best display is supposed to mean. I don't think either team played all that well. Awful opening goal. Missed ball out of play and then half the Crew team standing around right before the 2nd Portland goal. Bad effort by Kwarasey on Columbus's goal. Both these teams are more of the technically sound and gifted teams in the league and it just seemed like they both were off their game. It was still entertaining, but the product on display wasn't one of the better games I've seen this year. I'm not saying this as an indictment on the league at all, just was a poorer game IMO.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) 2nd season of Leftovers was some great TV. Sadly only 500 people watched it. It's on my DVR. Glad to hear it's continued strongly.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 02:37 PM) Don't worry, though. Christianity as a religion is going away. Too many Americans are afraid of offending anybody regarding race or religion ... except Christians. Ripping Christians is cool. Right, Bill Maher? Hey, quit saying Merry Christmas, Christians. It's offensive, you know?? There is no God. That baby that was born was nobody special. No it's not. That's quite the over reaction. QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 04:04 PM) No, the issue is everybody is afraid of offending the PC police on Islam. Nobody is afraid of offending Christians. It's really pretty funny. Why is it OK to blast and mock Christians and virtually nobody else in America? You try ripping Islam or any other religion? It's cool with me. I find it funny. Ditto Catholics. Every other organization or religion that had any problems with the abuse of kids ... it's covered correctly. That there are sick morons everywhere. But Catholics ... bring out the joke book. Cool with me. It's funny. But don't you dare imply Islam could be the cause of some of these horrific murders! Tell me what I say isn't true. Nah nobody will do that, they'll just rip Greg or make some one liner about Greg. Although you go about it in a very, well, interesting, way, your basic point here is actually pretty accurate. The PC police pretty much jumps on anyone and everyone nowadays at the smallest possible thing, but Christianity, along with fat people and old rich men apparently are always fair game. I do have to agree with your point there.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 03:54 PM) I stopped watching Homeland after season 2, is it worth picking up again? I didn't tune into season 3 because I heard bad things. You could just watch Season 5 and get by. There would be a few things that you might not get, but the series at this point has moved on in plots enough you could start up here. It's been a very worthwhile season IMO

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 03:18 PM) ? They use pretty legit chemistry on the show including how to make the . This is pretty much my world. I don't make weaponized stuff but I make antidotes and other things. Yes I was. I knew it was used after the fact but I didn't know it could be used as a preventative too like that. Found the article quite interesting actually.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 02:18 PM) Seriously, is this not the best season of Homeland yet? It's right up there with Season 1. I was a little upset about the whole , but then I read an article from an expert basically saying it's totally legit and not just a Hollywood gimmick.

Eh, I wouldn't mind this at the right price. I mean, what are the odds we actually use that comp pick to draft someone who becomes even half the player Upton is?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 5, 2015 -> 11:10 PM) Also, Gus Johnson is f***ing awful. Just atrocious. I still can't believe people like this guy. I enjoy him for college basketball. The problem is that networks are trying to overextend him to other events that he is just not right for. And it is painfully obvious to all the audience. QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 6, 2015 -> 02:27 PM) The official in Clemson game could have cost big $20m as I think OSU and msu go to play in playoff and Iowa to rose. That guy better be fired. Yes, it was a terrible call but UNC still would have needed to 60 yards in a minute, score a TD, get the 2Pt conversion and then win in OT. Lots of work to do still. QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 6, 2015 -> 03:40 PM) Fixed Kind of agree. Stanford's dismantling of USC coupled with the fact that last year OSU got in over Baylor because of the conference title thing leads me to believe the same would have happened. Stanford is probably a top 4 team in the country right now based on how they're playing, but they rightfully are on the outside because of the 2 losses.

MLS final was pretty entertaining. Not the best display for the league but it was enjoyable flipping back and forth between that and the NFL games Also, LOL Chelsea continues

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 01:45 PM) Those other threads were created because people wanted to create them, not because people were b****ing that they were "drowning" out this or the film thread. You got what you wanted. Start the parade of tv show talk that you feel is being held down so much The thread got created after Chilihead made a very soft "complaint" so that's not really true. You also apparently are choosing to forget about the incessant b****ing about Game of Thrones before that thread split off.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 12:59 PM) seriously, why are people b****ing about people discussing a popular tv show in a tv show catch all? Same thing happens with GoT, Walking Dead, Leftovers, Breaking bad. If you dont like the show, talk about the show you like Why are people b****ing about it having its own thread? No one seems to mind the ridiculous amount of threads in other forums. It's not like other shows/movies haven't had their own threads. GoT, Sopranos, Lost (?) Marvel Stuff. It's easier to talk about one particular show in one spot. Not sure why all of a sudden people are caring about that. Personally, if there were threads for Walking Dead, HBO Shows, Showtime Shows, MTV/Reality Shows etc, that would be ideal. Also, you wouldn't have to worry about running into a spoiler for a major show you're not caught up on if you came in here to discuss something else. Not sure what the big deal is.

Whoever just gave that s*** its own thread, thank you very much.
