QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 09:12 AM) People are way too quick to judge players. Just look at what people were saying about Dayan during his rookie year

Copa America with a ridiculous semi-finals coming up. Uruguay, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela. Chile, Argentina and Brazil all gone. Real surprising results.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 17, 2011 -> 05:23 PM) Hope Solo was the best player Japan had! Choke city. This statement is just absurd.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 02:30 PM) WTF? Wouldn't you at least want a positive ID before you try to kill someone? People are stupid

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 02:45 PM) Then you might have some extra worries... I'm assuming this deal they're supposed to vote on any day now is gonna go through

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 02:25 PM) Every year at the all-star break, by the time it's about over, I'm itching for some White Sox baseball......not this year. I hope the Sox go 4-8 the next 12, and get this s*** over with. I hope they turn it around but i've definitely begun looking forward to the NFL/NCAAF/NCAAB seasons much earlier than I normally do

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) Yeah, they deserve a fine, but no reason to lose ACC Championship considering that they didn't play anyone who was deemed ineligible. As for the basketball violations, if they start busting teams for having coaches take illegal recruiting notes for tournaments that are held near their campus, they might as well just put every college basketball program on probation now. Again, I don't think is so much about what they actually did, but about the attempt to cover it up and being so uncooperative about the whole thing. I think that's what they're are being punished for. The NCAA is ultra-sensitive right now after the whole Ohio State thing. I think this is a major overkill, but if they had just made it easier they would have gotten off much more lightly. It'll be interesting to see how this decision affects what's going to happen to Ohio State.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 08:45 PM) The GT sanctions are a crock of s***. All over 312 dollars worth of clothes that they couldn't even prove were provided by a street runner. They're getting punished more because they were totally uncooperative the entire time and tried to cover it up

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 04:58 PM) There's no self interest, I don't care about women's soccer because the quality isn't there IMO, it's sloppy and boring, again, in my opinion.I'm a fan of Mexico's National team because my parents are from there, I'm a fan of Spain because my mother's parents are from there and I like Argentina because my wife is Argentinian.If it was self interest I would have posted after Mexico pounded the USA in the Gold Cup final but I didn't. If I want to watch a hottie, I'll pop in a Mila Kunis movie. Although not boring, the U-17 WC was incredibly sloppy.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 01:55 PM) It can be annoying on occasion with obscure names or spellings, but the auto-fill normally does the trick. I'm just used to quickly typing stuff on the keyboard for longer quizzes that I find the play on a mobile device almost unbearable

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 02:52 PM) Ill tell you one thing that cant be debated, Alex Morgan is easier on the eyes than any boys on the U-17 or U-19 squad. And I think there is a little bit of self interest in this thread, in Men's soccer Mexico is a power, in Women's soccer not so much. Conversely the US is one of the best Women's teams and the Men's team still has a long way to go. Regardless women's soccer is one of the few female sports I can tolerate. Agreed, but only at this level. I doubt I could get through a women's club team match

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 02:05 PM) Tell me what woman's team could've stopped a 17 yr old Messi, vplease.Another example in another sport, you're gonna tell me that a WNBA player could've hung with a 17 yr old Kobe Bryant or LBJ?Yeah it's basketball, nkot soccer but my point is that at that age, men are already stronger and faster. Right, because one superstar in soccer has the same influence one superstar in basketball can have. And there were no "Messis" at the U-17's this year

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 01:02 PM) I love Sporcle with a regular keyboard, but does it translate well to a phone? Annoying

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 11:45 AM) I believe he was disoriented by eating 3 cinnabons. Stop mentioning cinnabons

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jul 13, 2011 -> 12:56 AM) Gilligan's Island and Brady Bunch creator Sherwood Schwartz. Sherwood also wrote or co-wrote the theme songs to both series. Clearly his Schwartz was bigger than those of mere mortals. He left a posthumous farewell letter too

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 13, 2011 -> 11:09 PM) What are some fun/cool droid apps? Preferably free. Angry Birds Where's My Droid Free Music Download Shazam Key Chain I assume most of the Droid's apps are also available on the iPhone et al if you're familiar with those though

This is probably smart regardless. Extra rest for him at any point this season is not a bad thing. Just hope his arm "recovers" or whatever it is bothering him now. The unfortunate reality is that he needs to be treated differently until he proves otherwise, which he has not been able to do yet.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 03:02 AM) It was awesome. The best part is when adrian and blake go back and forth and adrian says Ok, after Blake says your welcome haha How much is Cuban going to get fined for being with the players at the end? It's supposed to be a million. Depends. I don't think you're not allowed to talk with them at all, I think it's only concerning basketball related business. For example, Chad Ochocinco had an hour long conversation via phone with Roger Goodell that became public knowledge. I also know there were athletes and coaches at some football charity event in Dallas that was okay'd as well.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 13, 2011 -> 05:58 PM) Like previously said, the "hate" referred to when talking about Jordan Danks is the fact that right now he's nothing but a good defender up to AAA standards. Remember Brian Anderson? That's all he is right now. Therefore, it's laughable that he's even in this poll as an option to bring up and "help" a major league baseball team. Actually, it's laughable that it's not laughable that he's in this conversation. Rios has been atrocious and has looked as if he's exerting minimal effort. If D2 were to replace him, your defense would arguably be better and you'd have a guy who you'd assume would at least be giving it his all. At this moment, a D2 replacement of Rios could actually be an overall improvement

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 13, 2011 -> 03:39 PM) Floyd against Verlander.... I don't get this rotation they're planning on using at all. If it were up to me I'd be going with Humber-Danks-Floyd-Buehrle-Jackson-Peavy

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 13, 2011 -> 01:24 PM) I have to to say, that is pretty ingenious. I can hardly believe the CIA thought it up. They must have gotten the script from The Event

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 13, 2011 -> 11:12 AM) Option C - Cancel Which is what I'll be doing. Hulu + Red Box is better than paying such an increased rate. I might keep the streaming on Netflix for a couple months to catch up on a couple shows but we'll see.
