For some reason I keep picturing him as an Indian, but I have no idea if they even match up in trade.

I was 12 when Star Wars came out; right in the target audience's wheel-house. I loved it; first movie I ever saw twice at the show. I remember all the hype for "Empire," reading all I could about it in advance, and still being shocked at the big reveal. I was disappointed with "Jedi" and most all of the others since (although I kind of liked "Sith"). Although I got excited about but then was let down by trilogy 2, I am still optimistic and looking forward to the new one. I will try to see it early, but have not been moved to buy tickets yet and will certainly not camp out or anything like that..

I recall Navarro being a future HOF'er around the same time Edwin Jackson was, many moons ago.

So grindy.

Illinois fires AD Mike Thomas
clyons replied to LittleHurt05's topic in A and J's Olde Tyme Sports Pub
Good Riddance. The report must be bad. Edit: Or not so bad (I see that the statement says the firing is "without cause"). -
I was there. Yes, it was awesome.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 04:15 PM) Fight yesterday, cut today. No idea what fight was about, as of yet. Thank you.

What is the report? Did the fight come before or after he was cut?

Long article, but pretty spot on. http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/what-if-t...-too-1737539377

I was 12 when Star Wars came out, and I can remember sitting in the dark hearing the "I am your Father" line from The Empire Strikes Back as if it were yesterday.

Duncan Keith out 4-6 weeks with torn meniscus. Sigh.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 11:27 AM) PG Te'Jon Lucas announcing tomorrow. Down to Illinois, USC, and Old Dominion. He was scheduled to visit C-U this weekend, so the timing doesn't seem to bode well for Illinois.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 10:15 AM) Not providing Brady access to files and not allowing him to question Pash seem to be the two major parts here. That first argument about notice is such nonsense. Not at all. In labor relations law, "notice" is universally regarded as one of the essential elements required to establish "just cause" for discipline.

8-14-15 Cubs vs Sox 3:10CDT (Hendricks vs Samardzija)
clyons replied to jasonxctf's topic in 2015 Season in Review
31 pitch first. That's good, right? -
QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 08:22 AM) This season of True Detective was too pretentious and convoluted. It wasn't all bad, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I agree 100%.

QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 12:57 PM) that is a great point. can't imagine her cross examine and when they start asking about her past sexual encounters. Many states have "rape shield" laws that limit that kind of thing.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 5, 2015 -> 01:40 AM) I have to admit, I'm really lost as to what the hell is actually happening in TD this season. There's an article on Slate breaking all of it down and even that thing is too long to read. I read that Slate article. It was long, but worth the time imo.

I rarely get seriously pissed over baseball anymore, but last night was an exception. That send with no outs was inexcusable.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 11:40 AM) He's been plucked more times than the rose of tralee, I'm told.

That hadn't occurred to me. I think the 2000 run was a lot more impressive, as it came against much better competition, including an eventual 90-win Tribe team and a first place Yankees club. Also, the 2000 team was already something to be excited over before that happened.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 01:02 PM) D'angelo Jimenez. Yeah, he immediately leapt to mind when I read the "dumbest player."

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 12, 2015 -> 05:49 PM) don't expect as much of a return this year. He only has 1/2 a year for the next team. Also, the players traded may have been MLB ready but they had serious flaws. They weren't really highly regarded prospects. I totally agree. I think many overestimate the return Shark would bring based on what the Cubs got under vastly different circumstances.
