When was the last time you bought a pack of baseball cards?
Don't even remember. I have sets and sets and sets taking up space under the stairs in my townhouse. Would love to sell them but they aren't worth much these days. Getting them and organizing them was something my dad and I bonded over as a kid.

ESPN Sox vs Cubs Article
I just don't get the point of articles like this. I guess for discussion. Would rather be compared to the Royals and Tigers.

Relationship Advice Thread
Sooooo, I've gone out a few times with the girl I previously described, and I just don't think I can date her, at least now. I like her but I keep thinking about how she cheated on her husband and that he may not be as bad of a guy as she says he is. And the fact she so carelessly did with my friend. It's weird because she didn't cheat on me but like some of you said, that possibility is there, and after being cheated on in the past, is not something I want to risk again right now. I almost wish she never ever told me but it was probably better she did. Geez, I'm a mess with relationships.

QUOTE (Jake @ Feb 3, 2015 -> 12:21 AM) In fairness to Thibs, he was giving Dougie some minutes before his injury with the team at full strength. It's probably more about McDermott not being back into midseason form yet than Thibs's definitive judgment on his talent Not really. He was getting about 10 mins a game on average. It's obvious Thibbs makes rookies pay their dues for a season or so, even if they are a lottery pick.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 01:18 PM) Every time I see a Jurassic World trailer, my excitement goes down by a factor of 10. The stupidity of the entire premise (we bred yet another unstoppable killing machine even though we did the same thing before) is going to be too difficult to ignore. I hope those aren't the final special effects. It's been over 20 years. Story wise, it seems like it could make sense.

Super Bowl Halftime and Commercials
QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 03:10 PM) I thought Missy Elliot was awesome and you can never ever go wrong with dancing sharks. Am I missing Misdy Elliott's impact on music history somewhere. I still don't see why some think her appearing was a big deal.

Super Bowl Halftime and Commercials
QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 10:25 AM) If she wasn't singing, then that was very good lip syncing and a convincing track. IMO, she lip synced everything but Firework, but could be wrong. People get too in a tizzy about if someone lip syncs at a concert. They're there and you're seeing them in person. Most of the time, live vocals would be a disappointment anyway.

Vaccinations
Has something happened in the last year or so that has made this a topic of conversation? Don't remember it ever being controversial or seeing so many anti-vaccine folks before.

2014-2015 NFL Football thread
QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Feb 2, 2015 -> 01:23 AM) I am a Bears fan and Seattle is my favorite non-Bears team right now, and Sherman is my favorite non-Bears player. The celebration after winning the NFC Championship last season and the fake press conference with Baldwin were awesome and hilarious. They also have one of the best unis in the NFL. Love the metallic blue. I hate the Patriots. Brady and Belichick are a couple of smug, entitled, cheating asses. I will take Seattle's cocky confidence 6 days a week and twice on Sundays over the smug asses in Boston. For all of the s*** that Lynch gets for not talking to the media, Belichick invented it. Why wasn't he ever fined? You have to believe you are the best before you can be the best. The history book said that NE won, but Seattle was the better team today, IMO. Their OC made the worst play call in the history of Pro Football today, given the circumstances. Also, the Patriots should have never even reached SB XXXVI, because even with the Tuck Rule, which was changed because it is BS, that was still a fumble. If you ever watch a replay again, Brady had the ball in a carrying position for about 1.5 seconds after he pump faked. That rule was created to protect a pump fake that slipped out of a QB's hand. If they lose do they even start Brady the next season, or do they stick with Bledsoe? The world will never know. Yeah, the Seattle never got caught cheating or doing PEDs ever.

Did they really think anyone would care if Missy Elliott showed up? Has she been relevant in the last decade? I'm embarrassed to say I knew all the words to Katy's songs.

Official Squared Circle Thread
QUOTE (scs787 @ Jan 31, 2015 -> 11:21 PM) Just got back from announcing at a s***ty little local show...er may gerd soooo poorly put together. The sound guy left me hang in around in awkward silence way to many times for a 6 match show. One guy didn't even get music. Oh...and there was like 30 people there tops. Pretty cool though nevertheless....next mission....actually raslin. I've gone to a few like Blitz because my buddy wrestles and I was supporting him, but those small shows are sort of embarrassing to be at. 75% of the crowd are relatives and friends of the wrestlers so they are not really putting a show on for anyone but a handful of kids.

Sox sign Gordon Beckham, designate Viciedo for Assignment
QUOTE (Douglas Rome @ Feb 1, 2015 -> 07:59 AM) what did Samara ever do? Are we forgetting that Danks pitched a shutout in arguably the most important game in White Sox history? thanks, douglas C'mon man. That was 7 years ago now. Danks clearly is what he is and over paid at that.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 31, 2015 -> 09:32 PM) And yet Jerome Bettis was elected. Ok then. Nothing screams Hall of Fame like 3.9 yards per carry. It's hard for me to get into the football hall of fame. There are no numbers you can put up as a goal to be a HOFer like baseball.
