Official Squared Circle Thread
So they are hyping Nigel McGuiness' finisher as a lethal clothesline? I do like this "angle" with him and Kurt though. Hope it writes Angle out of TNA and back to the E. I couldn't help but laugh at Angle's phone interview this week. Clearing his throat after every sentance.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 02:40 PM) I like Gibson. Thomas may get less and less playing time especially if he is going to be chucking the 20 footers. The refs in the NBA blow. I kinda was hoping the replacement refs would of stuck around to see what it would of been like.

Sox acquire Mark Teahen, $$$ for Getz/Fields
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 09:15 AM) Interesting. I am not surprised to see Fields out the door so quickly, but I am shocked to see Getz gone. Teahen is a nice add for us. This is how I feel. I don't mind Fields going, but I'm a Getz guy and do NOT want Nix playing 2nd everyday. I think Getz could turn into a Mark Grudzielanek type player. Teahan won't be facing Buehrle anymore.

Pettite's got a lot of guts complaining about the strike zone. He is getting plenty off the outside corner. More than any pitcher probably should.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 07:53 PM) I trust their bullpen less than I do Pedro. Agreed, but would be looking at Happ.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 07:34 PM) in true soxtalk fashion, I say this about Pedro: "Pull him. Pull him now" That would require Manuel to be a good manager. All I know is if Pedro gets into trouble in the 3rd inning, you gotta yank him.

Student suspended for having a pocket knife locked up in his car
QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 06:23 PM) I think if a school finds a kid is doing drugs and is on an extracurricular I think it's a good idea to remove him from the team. Agreed, but you would be surprised as to how many parents would not agree. Nevermind that most student athletes sign something that says no drugs, alcohol, etc., parents will still protect their kids. My dad used to be an Athletic Director at a high school. A kid who was one of the best basketball players on the team got drunk and wrecked his car so my dad kicked him off the team. His parents got a lawyer said they were discriminating against him because he was an alcoholic at the age of 17. Um....... Easy to say, the kid never played and the parents tried sueing the school. It didn't go anywhere.

"V"
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 10:06 AM) Pssh. How can you guys sit through that horrible acting by the lead guy? It's like having to watch the Dark Knight with Christian Bale using his Batman voice for every scene, including his Bruce Wayne stuff. It's beyond awful. He makes everything so serious that it becomes a joke. I agree that Fiennes is bad and I don't like his storyline, but his is the only one I don't like. I'm still watching because I want to see the climax and how it ties together. Last week was good when they all came together in the living room. To stay on topic, I liked the "V" pilot.

Catch-All Anything Thread
QUOTE (NIUSox @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 01:04 AM) I'm not looking forward to black Friday. Last year was horrendous. I worked a double at my job (9pm Thursday-6am Friday and then 1pm Friday-10pm Friday) Don't know if I want to do that again this year. I seriously have come to doubt the sanity of some of the people that come to shop at 2,3,4 in the morning in general, but especially the ones while who dragged their kids with them. Plus last year, I caught the flu or something that day and couldn't work Saturday and Sunday, so it wasn't like I go more hours than normal. For two years, I worked Black Friday at Blockbuster in Gurnee. Others on this site can back me up and how bad that is. Imagine a Friday night amplified by 1 million times the complaints.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Nov 4, 2009 -> 12:38 AM) You finished 10th in the big 12 last year, and ISU only lost to Kansas St. who finished 4th in the big 12 by 4 pts in the last minute @ Kansas St. last year(Iowa St. lost by 15 @KSU). Therefore I'd say your statement is based on nothing. And SIU played at UIC a few years ago where we alum thought we could out draw UIC. We couldn't. Stop overrating the following power of ISU. UIC fans are loyal and will out draw ISU easily that game. That said, UIC was a lot better back when we played them compared to now so who knows.
