QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 29, 2016 -> 09:06 AM) No TV show has given me the excitement and great anticipation as the Sopranos did. I agree with this. Great options but Sopranos is a top 5 show for me. Even the s4 which was pretty bad had me hooked every week. No love for Dream On of 1st and 10? /sarcasm

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 28, 2016 -> 11:00 AM) I'd leave the league. 16 teams with 2 QBs is dumb. Only 1 QB. If it sucks, I'll drop out next year. Didn't want to leave them with odd teams this year. QUOTE (zenryan @ Aug 28, 2016 -> 12:17 PM) Never heard of anything more than 12 teams in a league. How many playoff teams? 6? 8

We had a vote and it was 8-4 to add 4 more players. We do it on Yahoo but I can't do a 16 team mock there. So I went to ESPN and their rankings are totally different. Hate this.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 28, 2016 -> 08:43 AM) It's pathetic. I think the next step is Suntimes and Tribune becoming 1 paper. Nothing to back that up. Just an opinion.

Our commish added more players and it's now a 16 team league. I hate it and we havent even drafted yet

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 10:46 PM) #firstworldproblems #humblebrag I'll pay the 1.29 on iTunes for a song rather than go up and get the cd I own and put on my phone for free.

Coverage is diminishing in Chicago. Both the trib and suntimes are now bare bones with little to no freelancers. Daily Herald is probably best for coverage now. Kind of sad

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 11:51 AM) Good luck man. As someone who has been on that end of HS sports for a long time now, I love it. Hope it goes well for you. Thanks. I have a pretty good Rolodex of writers and connections I've made so figured I'd give it a shot.

I've been covering prep sports around Chicago for about 10 years and decided to try and get a podcast rolling as prep coverage diminishes. You can check it out and subscribe and rate and praise me here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/preps-3...st/id1145670228 Shameless plug

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 10:12 AM) Random thought of the day, how good is Bobby Roode's NXT Entrance Music... Where have you been the last 3 weeks?

LoL. Had Dr Drew examined her? GTFO

I like Seth, but he needs to stop fn hurting guys. Cena, Sting, and now Finn. Not too mention himself.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 21, 2016 -> 10:20 PM) That's what happens when you have Tom Wilhelmsen as your closer... Diaz has been overworked lately?

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Aug 22, 2016 -> 02:49 AM) Wait....so you're seeing the exact same show, twice within a 3 day span, at the same venue?? Why does that bother you? You're not going. Pearl Jam still has a huge following. My cousin has been in their Ten club forever.

I'm guessing this is setting up a WrestleMania rematch. Maybe? I dunno. Odd way to end a ppv for sure but I love Brock looking like that. Cena vs Styles, Finn/Seth, and Cesaro/Sheamus were best matches. Women were fine but too sloppy. They had DQ and stoppage finishes. Should do that more on Raw not a PPV.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 21, 2016 -> 07:51 PM) Multiple drug suspensions are coming out tomorrow. I imagine Sasha is on that list, hence why she dropped the belt. Also Cena-Styles for MOTY Just saw the Sasha rumor as well. Now it makes sense.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 21, 2016 -> 06:52 PM) Overall a sloppy match from these 2. Why in the world did the WWE think it was a good idea to put the title back on Charlotte? Definitely sloppy. Charlotte is way better as a champion than chaser IMO.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 21, 2016 -> 06:29 PM) Great 1st match. Owens was fantastic per usual. Enzo was fantastic on the mic per usual too. Great start. The Cesaro vs Sheamus match was excellent as well. Going with women's title match early. Sasha almost died twice so far.

These NXT shows the day before WWE PPVs just make main roster booking look bad. They slowly build these match ups in old school ways and it works while main roster rushes everything. I get they have monthly shows and may have to rush stuff but it still doesn't work more often then not because it's short booking. I think you can set up things months down the road while doing short stuff but they just don't. The tag match and women's matches last night were so good and I legit thought Joe had his jaw broke.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Aug 21, 2016 -> 11:34 AM) Even with the "win", McGregor's star dims even more. Anything close was going to go McGregor's way in terms of a decision. Either way, he hasn't looked great against a middle of the road 155 lb'er fighting at 170 pounds. I know I get on you for hating on the big names but I think you're right. He marched around screaming the "The King is Back" but I was like, you narrowly won by decision after getting exhausted in round 2. Chill. And why does he think a third fight should happen on his terms again? Diaz clearly beat him last time.

Fun fight. Sucks it had to go to decision.

I'm pissed the audience cheered that guy. Maybe it was their staged CBS employee audience. And the fact a jury member is going back in next week is so stupid and unfair to people in there now. Bogus.

The most shocking thing is that it took this long for Del Rio to get popped for something. He's obviously on something.
