LOL Trump was not funny on SNL ... the reviews coming in. ... Of course he wasn't funny. He's fricking Republican. The liberal media isn't going to say a guy they HATE is funny. http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/donald-tru...iew-1201636027/

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 10:52 PM) NW Burbs. Right next to Schaumburg. Interesting. Any way Br. Rice could lose to Palatine? I don't like Br. Rice's chances in the semifinals vs. HF or Loyola obvously, but I wonder if they can beat Palatine. Today's game ... I'm glad Elgin's coach screwed up. There were about six minutes left and Br. Rice was up six and Elgin had the ball on the Rice 25 or 30. Coach tried a long field goal to try to cut it to three. Elgin clearly had the momentum at that point with Rice fans a bit nervous as Elgin moved the ball. But they missed the field goal. As a Rice fan I felt relieved Elgin merely tried a meaningless field goal rather than gone for it on fourth down fairly deep in Rice territory. If Elgin takes the one-point lead that late, it's probably Rice playing in the Prep Bowl playoffs rather than the real playoffs. Rice's offense was pretty dismal the fourth quarter, but after that dumb move, Rice did pretty much run out the clock. Finally started moving the ball again. My assessment of Br. Rice: Have some good individual players like Smalling the WR and the QB is a good HS quarterback. They have a good running back as well. I forget his name. They've got some good, gutsy kids on defense. However the defense isn't good enough to win state and the offense is darn good for high school, but like the first Loyola game proved, can be stopped in its tracks by elite teams. That said ... congrats to my alma mater and keep on keepin on!!! Let's win, baby.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 02:48 AM) Black people will not vote for Ben Carson. And Jason Whitlock would tell you it's because Carson made it big by conventional means (hard work) while not fighting the white man's world. Some African Americans don't like when fellow blacks get educated, lead law abiding lives, become great citizens and "play the game" to succeed. They don't like it at all. It's not me saying it, it's a black journalist named Jason Whitlock. You tell me why they won't vote for Ben besides the reason I gave. It's because he's cooperated with the white world.

This should be interesting. Hillary got a big media coronation and worship session after she appeared on Saturday Night Live. Let's see how the media handles Trump's appearance. I'd say they'll either attack his hair and his looks, saying how he appeared physically or say the skits sucked and he hurt himself by appearing on the silly comedy show. Or they'll merely ignore his appearance if in fact it's good. LOL. Gotta love the media. They worshiped Hillary after her appearance.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 12:27 AM) http://news.yahoo.com/ben-carsons-home-eer...-195358324.html I'd love to believe this will be the end of Carson, Klingon/Worf Jesus with Ben, but will probably have the reverse effect. How can you allow a Biblical inscription with Proverbs spelled incorrectly to not be fixed asap? Tommye 6 minutes ago 2 9 At some point somebody is going to agree with me that this guy is WEIRD (in capital letters). To me it appears that he is his own best fan and is not close to anybody. I am sure he must be wealthy and I am happy for him, but doesn't the Bible say something about it being easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven? It appears that this particular "rich man" has spent a substantial amount paying homage to himself. Everyone has an opinion and this is just mine, but I am leaving Dr. Carson in the same category I put him in yesterday when I was convinced that he and the truth don't seem to be on the same page. Expand Replies (2) Reply The media is rotten. Who cares if he has a shrine to himself in his house? How bout some stories on all the lives he's saved and improved as a surgeon if we want to go into his personal s***. Like all doctors don't have big egos. Again ... let's take this to Hillary as well. Oh wait ... no stories on her personality. Only renegade book writers and Websites can write about Hillary's treatment of people beneath her. Laughing my ass off.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 11:27 PM) And now we are comparing people who are gay to White Supremacists and Nazi's? Would you sell cake to black people? How about people with down syndrome or autism? It's the same thing. Read my post. Not what I'm saying. I said the bakers should bake cake's for gay weddings and should not bake cakes for Nazis or White Supremists. Read my post closer.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 02:04 PM) And he is using the "I don't really remember the details" route, yet his campaign manager seems to be spinning all of the details. He's about done. He's not about done. The public recognizes the media is after him. As far as lying, let's go after all the candidates as hard as we're going after Ben. They ALL LIE. Sad, but true.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 01:09 PM) Sorry, I think it is bigoted and wrong that a religion should define a union of marriage that is upheld in a federal law. Youre viewpoint is mean and wrong, greg Yeah I apologize for my stance if it offends. To be clear, I am OK with the legality of a male/male union or female/female union. All the same legal rights you get as if it's man/woman union. And I don't like the fact some bakeries or whatever don't want to make cakes for male/male weddings, etc. That's kind of silly. Just make the f***ing cake. Who cares what it goes for. Although it'd be pretty disgusting to make a Nazi cake or a White Supremists cake. You can see why the bakery owners are balking about this issue. What if the government law made you make a White Supremist cake?? I'd be sickened in the whole process. Some bakery owners want the right to pick and choose who they serve. I also am going against my Catholic religion in saying gays, of course, should be admitted to the church. Although my church quietly is going against Rome as in my church's bylaws it indicates ALL are welcome. Anyhow, I should be ashamed of myself I guess. But it's simple physics to me. A man/man are incapable of biologically having a baby; ditto woman/woman. If a man wants to be with another man for life, fine. But I don't think it should be recognizd as marriage because IMO at least, God didn't design it that way because if he wanted it that way you'd biologically be able to have kids. I don't think I'm a bad person but I just think the one thing gays should give up is the idea of official marriage. It's a partnership not a marriage. Sorry I currently feel this way. If it makes me horrible person, my bad. If you want I can kill this post. I just felt I should be honest.

Are Bulls fans stoked about Hoiberg? What's the fan reaction after a few games?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 10:23 PM) It'll be at Palatine then. St. Laurence is still in it. They are 5A Where the heck is Palatine? By Evanston?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Oct 28, 2015 -> 09:46 PM) I am in complete agreement with you on Mark Buerhle. He can still pitch and would be an A+ guy in the clubhouse and around the other pitchers in particular If we get Buehrle we'll have to somehow get rid of Danks. Way way too many lefties already. I would hate to see Mark get ripped to shreds on this board if his shoulder has fallen apart and he sucks. I only want him if he's as good as this year's Buehrle.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 08:22 PM) Maybe they don't like their uniforms smelling like smoke. Supposedly, Cespedes is a chain smoker. He sounds like a true trainwreck. Whatever team signs him will prove they don't care about team chemistry. He appears lazy on the field and if he's a chain smoker, my gawd.

QUOTE (High Mileage @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 07:40 PM) People have been telling me my whole life that the Royals would never be good and would never win anything. I'm glad the Royals declined Rios' option though... Mileage are you a Sox and a Royals fan or just Royals? Why do you post here? Just curious, not trying to run you off. You guys should be good again next year but the loss of Gordon and Zobrist will hurt. And you again need a strong starter now that Cueto is gonna be gone as well. Should be intersting to see who replaces whom. I wouldn't count on Ventura and Zimmer being saviors yet.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 04:27 PM) We're not going to hire anyone good but nobody can be worse than Hinson at this point...besides Chris Lowery. Why do you not like Hinson? Is he perceived as a clown? I know he inherited a tough roster to deal with.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 08:59 PM) Has Brother Rice played 2 home games already? Yes.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 06:51 PM) It's 17-14 in 2nd qtr. Both teams will put up 40. Greg, you can watch the game on The Cube online usually but this game isn't available. Pat Disabato is @disabato on twitter and is covering the game. Thank u. I watched the third quarter on. Nice six point win for Bro Rice. Looks like Palatine the 13 seed is stunning the 4 seed so Br Rice I assume gets to host the next game in the quarterfinals. that would be amazing to reach the Final Four. I can't imagine beating Loyola. They seem to be on another plane. Great job, though. Illinois State playoffs are tough. Lot of games compared to a s***ty little state like Kansas. Proud of the Rice kids though. They did a nice job today again. Who knocked St. Laurence out of the playoffs? They had a decent little team as well.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 04:25 PM) Hey greg, in their first playoff game, Brother Rice went up 49-0 in the second quarter! They called off the dogs then but that's really impressive vs decent competition Sweet can we beat South Elgin?? QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 04:45 PM) Soxtalk may have to get greg a plane ticket or uber ride. Yes! I love my Crusaders.

Is Barry Hinson gonna survive at SIU? He's one great person.

What did Ron Jeremy do?

Watch this and tell me you are not sickened by Joy Behar. Comedy?? Really Joy? How about bullying. Your looks are even worse than Carly's. Women on the View should be fired. NOW. FIRE THEM!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVxFApCPQVE

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 04:36 AM) If it's written in black and white in your official biography, the only one to blame is your ghostwriter...or the teller of the stories, Carson in this case. He had the right to edit it before it was released. Yes but they are nitpicking if they are looking for lies in books. Again, let's see an equal amount of effort to zap Hillary Clinton and her husband, Bill. Anybody catch the hilarious spoof of Dana Carvey on Bill returning to the White House? It's really really funny. Carvey is dirty as hell and he goes after Bill's sex drive. Just do a google and check Carvey's most recent stuff on Fallon and at laugh factory with other comics.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 7, 2015 -> 04:39 AM) Nobody at SoxTalk is attacking you for your beliefs in terms of gay marriage. It's called freedom of religion. Now if you were running for elected office in KS, you would be a fair target...but you know as well as I that it will never pass into law in that state. Thank you, sir. I was mainly responding to some of Carson's key policy issues and figured I should comment on the social issues as well. Abortion and gay marriage.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 09:57 PM) Likely you'd do what the cops (who are actually trained) *DID* do which was kill the guy. But if I see him whip out a knife and start a stabbing spree, I want a gun and a fighting chance to live and save others. All I can do is try to hit him in the leg or butt. Shoot low.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 11:45 PM) You didn't answer my question. Unless your response is that your vote is entirely based on superficial factors and has nothing to do with their policies... I LOVE his flat tax. Get rid of the gawd-damned IRS!!!!!! Thank you Mr. Carson! So far I'm OK with his position on gun control. Give Americans access to weapons but try to prevent people from geting the semiautomatic stuff. Illini ... my uncle pitched for the U of I and I respect the school and your opinions, but I think you are wrong if you don't believe I need a gun to protect myself in churches, lectures, parades, etc. There are loonie-birds out there wanting me dead! -- He wants to give us $2,000 for health savings accounts and get rid of Obamacare. That won't pass anyway, so I don't know why it matters what I think of it. I don't know if that's a good plan or not. I am appalled by health care in the USA and one of the candidates should tackle the bulls*** costs of staying in the hospital. 50 dollar aspirin still the going rate?? -- His stance on immigration seems ok. Those here illegally can apply for guest worker status if they first leave the country and apply. If not we kick them out. -- I wish he would let everybody buy marijuana not just the people who need it medically. -- No abortions after 20 weeks. That seems good by me. That's five months. The baby is pretty much a functioning human being by then. He said gay marriage is the law but he personally believes marriage should be between a man and woman. I want gay couples to have the same rights as marrieds, but hit me over the head with a hammer if you hate me for it, but I agree with him. I just happen to believe marriage should be between a man and woman. That said like Carson said, the law is the law. I don't begrudge anybody. I just think if God wanted gay marriage there would be a biological way a man could have another man's baby. Again I'm no zealot. I'm not against gay rights. All people are created equal. But the formal idea of marriage?? I think it should be man/woman. Sorry. --His foreign policy stance is aggressive enough for me. Step up efforts to stop the militant groups!!! Thank you Mr. Carson. All in all I think his policies are OK. Sorry if I offended with my marriage answer. I guess I'm a bad person for not believing marriage should be reserved for man/woman unions.
