They needed to sign someone that makes Sabathia look thin

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jan 26, 2011 -> 08:06 AM) Watched the first two episodes of Lights Out. Another winner for FX. Like Terriers, though, I think it was not marketed well. Most of the previews I saw showed bits of boxing matches. I imagine there will be some boxing as the season goes along, but the show is really about the main character's struggles after leaving the sport. Last night was very good. I think next week is a big episode for the show because we assume Lights has to do the rematch but doesn't know it yet and can the show go for a few weeks with minimum boxing scenes. Hope the storylines click.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 25, 2011 -> 10:13 PM) I know a lot of people in Illinois are familiar with Iman Shumpert. The light has gone on for Shumpert, and he's putting up some insane numbers. Nearly had a quadruple double tonight while shutting down the dangerous Malcolm Delaney. Usually I'd beg a GT player to stay around another year, but if he can be a first round pick, I'll be thrilled to see the local kid make the league. Saw him play Brandon Paul in Pontiac. Both guys were killing that day. Izzp dismisses Lucious for rest of year. Ouch

So much for this

I'm trying to pull for GB over Pitt but Packer fans at work are making it tough. People I don't even talk crap to.

Come on, ESPN. Regional coverage, damnit!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 06:30 PM) Wouldn't that be good news for the Bears if Harris retired, as they'd save money out of the deal? IMO, yes

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 06:21 PM) Tommie Harris retired. Where did you see/hear this? Can't find it anywhere

Was reading stuff from TV Critics press conference and AMC has yet to renew Mad Men and they don't know when or if it will be back. Rumors are they are having trouble negotiating deals with actors. Gulp

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 24, 2011 -> 12:13 AM) How does it feel SIU to give ISU its first MVC win. We're so bad. I'd kill to trade coaches

How many times is Nantz going to use the term, "The Jets go Greene!" Already sick of it.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 08:16 PM) Jay Cutler will have an MRI on his left knee Monday and it is believed that he suffered a torn MCL in Sunday's season-ending loss to the Packers. Lots of people will be eating crow if that, unfortunately, is true.

I'll wait for a diagnosis on Cutler's knee before passing judgement. Easy to make remarks from the couch out of anger.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 05:16 PM) Knox got tackled on that last play...probably would have been called on Tim Jennings. Yikes. Saw the replay. Pretty obscene.

WTF kind of call was that on 3rd and 3? Are you F'N serious? What a joke!

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 05:06 PM) Well Hester hasnt really had many great chances today. The Packers punter is the first guy I've seen in awhile to actually consistently punt the ball to the boundaries. He is the Packers MVP today

Nice

Interesting now

Is Carson Palmer really in any position to demand a trade?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 04:13 PM) Wow, Todd Collins IS the worst quarterback I've ever seen. Please put in Hanie!! He actually maybe worse than Johnathon Quinn

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 03:32 PM) I'd take Jordan Taylor over McCamey this year, and not so sure I wouldn't take Battle. Darius Morris seems to be coming back to earth. Oh, and Michigan State sucks. I have no idea how they're still ranked. There is a reason I left MSU out of my Big Ten champ talk early in the thread. Lucas overrated and their bigs don't scare me.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 03:55 PM) I'd really prefer Hanie here. Ditto

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 03:54 PM) there went Chicago's best chance of scoring a touchdown today. That is what I was thinking

Here comes Todd Collins to ruin the momentum.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 03:52 PM) For once, that was the correct call on the PI. Dude, this is the NFL and the NFC title game. That was a weak call where Greg Jennings instigated the contact.
