Why would they make Rice and Loyola play in the quarters? How many early potential rematch games are there? I mean that's bad. Loyola and Rice should not have to play til the state finals IMO.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 12:21 PM) I still can't believe he's there after he killed that camera kid. He didn't kill him but it was a very sad story. I know the mother of Declan. I do blame Kelly, of course I do. But I am not mean enough to believe he thought the kid had a 50/50 chance of going down with the tower and dying. Of course Kelly didn't kill the kid, but his judgment was SO POOR yes he should have been fired on the spot. QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 12:35 AM) Les Miles coming? He should be. ADs make it too difficult on themselves. When you get an opening, you go get the guy IMMEDIATELY who was let go by another school and has experience in winning. You don't pull a Kansas and when a good coach like Mangino is axed you hire Turner Gill from a small school. Then you replace Gill with Charlie Weis who was in the NFL at the time. What you do is when u need a coach like Purdue does, you go hire Les Miles quickly and call it a day. Or Mack Brown if he wanted to coach. When Texas fires Strong, you go get Strong. If Stoops ever got axed, you go immediately gobble up Stoops. It's not difficult.

The line that stuck with me was the one about divorcing first wife Ivana because her breast implants felt wrong to him...when there's a 99.8% likelihood he was the one who pushed her into having plastic surgery in the first place. His whole adult life has been about making money (deals) and satisfying Donald when he's not working. He's a typical billionaire. Me, me, me. The 'problem' is his opponent is just as rotten an individual ... well, maybe not quite as rotten as Donald but very ill equipped to be our president as well.

If this porn star's allegation is true ... it again begs the question of how dumb Trump could be to run for president? In this day and age he had to know the media would look for all indescretions of Trump. Maybe they are not true. But it would take a very very dumb porn star (and her accomplished attorney) to make this public if Trump didn't do it. Again, you just can't run for public office if you have a.) taken drugs. b) been unfaithful to your spouse. c.) had any incidents with women like this one alleged. You have to lead a clean life to run for office with the media at large. https://www.yahoo.com/news/adult-film-actre...-222912021.html

They will be dancing in the streets of chicago tonight. Keep it safe and have fun, Chicago.

Rose would be a good manager ... oh wait. I forgot. Love Big Hurt on TV. He is great announcer.

Rice lost by 11, 48-37 I believe it was. I don't know how anybody's gonna slow the Loyola machine in the playoffs. Rice is gonna have to win two games (is it two or just one we need to win for rematch?) then give it another shot vs Loyola in the quarters. It seems to me the only way to beat 'em is to match em score by score, then SOMEHOW get a turnover or pick six or something and grab a lead of nine or more points. You got to somehow lead them by more than eight the entire second half cause they are gonna beat you in a game of "whoever has the ball last will win." The fact Loyola ran the ball so well tonight could either help or hurt Loyola in the rematch. They might just stomp us in the rematch or, we might get fortunate and force a fumble or two in the cold weather and get the two TD lead I'm talking about. I would think the upcoming cold weather isn't gonna be good for Rice and Loyola's passing game, but seems to me Loyola has the ability to run the ball against great competition and Rice is a bit shaky in that regard even with a stud like Valladay. I like everything about Rice cept the defense is 'probably' not state title caliber and offense is a tad worse than Loyola's. Whether Rice is better than everybody else in 8A ... I have no idea. To the experts are Loyola and Br. Rice clearly 1-2 in the state?? And nobody else is close?

It's 48-37 Loyola with two minutes left. They're just too good on offense. Rice did have a chance to stay in front but a fast receiver caught a pass, up three, and after getting to about the Loyola 20 didn't protect and they got the ball. Loyola scored and hasn't looked back. Gonna have to do it the hard way in the playoffs.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 02:54 AM) Rice up 2 at half. Game is on UToo if you have it. 360 on xfinity great game. I'm watching. Looks like Rice is gonna fall a little short barring something wild late.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 07:54 PM) Who said this? Soxtalk majority has been so anti NL for a long time. Cmon anybody deny this?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 08:08 PM) AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Rich Hill has made fools of opponents this year. And Kershaw was on pace for one of the greatest single seasons by a pitcher ever if he hadn't been sidelined with injuries. Kershaw could very well go down in history as a Top 5 pitcher if he pitches to form for a few more years. If he hadn't missed time he'd be getting his second MVP and fourth Cy Young. I thought the NL was so inferior numbers can't even be trusted.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 07:35 PM) i just really dont get why people arent talking about abortions and babies who are crying being ripped out of their mothers at 9.5 months. i heard on the limbaugh show that a kid was aborted at 14 years old the other day someone has to get ahold of this and crooked hillary wont Abortion is a heartwrenching topic on many fronts. I won't tackle it in terms of expressing opinions.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 04:48 PM) i just wanted to post it and get it out here ahead of him so we could all move past it and continue with the thread Hmmm. I sense some strong Hillary support rather than people assuring me they think she's also a flawed candidate. QUOTE (MEANS @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 05:22 PM) You forgot 8 years Chelsea and talking about yourself in the third person. Reading this thread makes me glad some of my points appear to have sunk in.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 05:21 PM) Dodgers offense is terrible as was the Giants. There is no real threat right now in that lineup against he cub pitching. Maybe the cub pitching is just that good. Kershaw had to throw 7 innings of shut outball to get the win. Exactly. Dodgers are an inferior opponent and Cubs win. It would take just what Harry says. And if it 'somehow' went game 7, no way in hell the Cubs would lose to an Independent League pitcher in Hill. They would bash him. Kershaw the best pitcher in the game? I disagree. Face facts. Like we all suspected from the regular season runaway, it's the Cubs year. The Giants and Dodgers players are 1/3 as good as the Cubs. Rizzo is this year's Hosmer; Bryant is arguably the best hitter around and the Cubs defense and bullpen and starters are amazing. The parade is coming soon.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 04:15 AM) If a new park is ever built it will be by new ownership and just as the Mayor and city fought to build the new park at a location they chose in the late 80's (Mayor Washington said the ONLY location the city would support and that he would tell his people on the Stadium Authority Board to vote for was across the street from the original park) you can expect the city to place location demands once again. Mark You've all convinced me. Sox are a stepchild and no new stadium will be built unless the new owner fits the bill and you can forget about that. No fricking way. Not when they could move the team and get a free one in Vegas or anywhere. We really truly should stop talking about it. 35th and Shields neighborhood just needs to modernize and become a destination area for fun. That also will never happen. Fans are used to getting to the Cell and most fans have a way to get in and park and get out they are comfortable with. So we're stuck with it. Just enjoy what we've got.

If the Bulls go 10-20 to open would they fire Fred? Is his job on the line this year already?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 07:08 AM) But the series doesn't end either way. If you want to pitch the exact same guys these two games you're telling us that you think Kershaw on short rest and Maeda on two days extra rest > than both of them on their normal schedule. But the Dodgers only hope was to keep the momentum and go up 3-2 and try to somehow scratch out a win in Chicago. No way Dodgers can win two. In fact Cubs are locks for Game Six.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 05:30 AM) I don't know how I can further explain it. Kershaw pitching at home in Game 5 gave LA the best chance to win prior to coming to Chicago. That's it I'd have done it your way Tizzle. Good luck to the Dodgers' way. I think Cubs beat Kershaw and that's that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 01:16 AM) Terrible decision by Roberts to not start Kershaw tonight. Maeda has been beyond awful of late Awful. This series is over. Horrible decision. It was LA's only chance. QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 03:47 AM) The Dodgers basically conceded this game by not starting Kershaw and running Ruiz out there in the cleanup spot. Definitely. And they conceded yesterday's game pitching the 20 year old. What a gift. But the Cubs will obviously take it. Why not? They'll beat Kershaw and that will be that. Lotta partying in Chicago Sat night.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 07:45 AM) Jesus man. Dig a little deeper than CNN. There are like 100 brutally horrible things about Hillary. Nothing provable of course, but it stinks man. Do a little research, connect a few dots and it's hard to not puke on the keyboard. If you think her heart's in the right place...ask yourself why she was a senator from new york and why she was secretary of state. To serve the public??? GMAFB. It's to be the first woman president nothing more. Watching her talk about her 30 years of "service" is sickening. Fame & Power drive that bus, not a call to serve. Not saying trump is any better regarding fame & power. But he doesn't have the history of corruption, possible dead people, and using one of the highest offices of the government to lobby & prosper attached to him. I respect your opinion to like her by the way. I just think you aren't putting your detective hat on or you turn a blind eye to certain things because they aren't proven. Dude you know she's green-lighting the violence inciting at the rallies. Not provable but it's one step from the front door. I think it's fair game to connect those 2 dots for example. Great great post. Never believe Hillary will be a good president or good person. As far as the abortion discussion, my bad in even commenting once. I can't comment on abortion. Even greg won't go there. I don't want to talk about it. I'll just keep my abortion comments to myself.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 05:14 PM) http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/page/playo...ge-knotted-nlcs Found this quote from a scout interesting: "They won't beat Kershaw," he said, unequivocally. "And I think they will struggle again with Hill. Anyone who pitches in and changes speeds will have success against the Cubs right now. Any kind of downer breaking ball destroys them." Hope it wasn't a White Sox scout. Those guys blow. Evidence is the Central Division killing us. QUOTE (shipps @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 08:11 PM) I dont think this is true. I think they will look at it as the next step. They will see that they have progressed further in the playoffs each of the last two years and then next year is when it finally happens. If they lose to the Dodgers I think they would feel much more defeated. Yes. If the Cubs make the WS it's a great season for them. NL champs. Another step. Not making the WS? Huge disappointment and some concern (still) that they'll ever get it done. s*** can happen. I go back to the Tigers dynasty that never occurred.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 04:18 AM) I actually like Hillary. I think her heart is actually in the right place. She has the stink of corruption around her, but when you've been investigated virtually nonstop for 30 years - that happens. Do I think she's clean? No. But, I don't think anyone is. But I think all the scrutiny has probably made her cleaner than most. Cool that you like her. I don't think she's close to being clean though. She is as dishonest and conniving as they come. If I believed her quotes tonight on the middle class and saving Medicare, etc., I'd feel better. I dont believe a word she says though. Also about Obamacare. I mean Obamacare is a total disaster and a person in favor of Obamacare the disaster is gonna save social security and medicare? Hmmm.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 03:49 AM) I think the missing lede in this debate was Hillary's answer on abortion. Her defense of abortion, particularly late term abortion was one of the most honest, bold defenses of Roe v Wade I've ever seen in a campaign. What did she say? QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 04:03 AM) I still can't believe In 2016 this is still a topic. It's crazy we've gone this far in reverse where someone wants to reverse that ruling. Late term abortions are very scary. Have you seen the pictures of fully formed human beings? I don't even want to discuss it really. Don't like to think about it. QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 04:07 AM) I think Hillary and Trump are both bad, but in different ways. Hillary is bad like processed sugar. Trump is bad like crack cocaine. So I can either eat some cookies, or smoke rocks. That's pretty easy I think. Not only bad, but horrific. Both candidates are awful with a capital A.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 04:17 AM) Chris Wallace has a Sunday show on regular fox every week, that's more respected than having an opinion show on cable Awesome I bet it's a good show. He is good IMO.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 04:14 AM) Gary Johnson is a f***ing disaster Greg. Isn't the guy winning Utah pretty good? I know Meghan McCain loves him.
