It's sad when the only hope you have for your team scoring is via special teams and defense.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 24, 2010 -> 01:07 PM) Ravens are losing to the Bills 17-3. Seriously. THE NFL makes no sense. That game is a home game, too. Look at the Saints score.

Once again, I would like to thank Jerry Angelo for being one of the worst talent evaluators in the NFL. Cutler isn't playing well recently, but like 10% is his fault and 90% is the O-line. I mean could P. Manning play well knowing that he is likely gonna get a face full of a 6'3", 315 lbs. lineman every play?

I have gotten like 10 calls from them since I stupidly signed up at the game. I never responded to the calls thinking that it's not necessarily a scam, but there is something fishy to it. Who knows though? Maybe it's just my skepticism and it's legit.

Is it me or is Duncan Keith not even playing good this year? I know he is getting loads of ice time, but he is making so many careless plays in our own end.

Huet got the shaft big time. In the NHL, you can't renegotiate contracts so he couldn't have given money back stay with the Hawks or go to another NHL team for less. If you really look at it, the Hawks really just screwed him big time. Kinda feel bad for him. Yeah, I know he is making a ton of money, but still the principles involved here are preyty bush.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 21, 2010 -> 12:23 AM) As long as he's getting healthy, I really don't give a crap what he does in the AFL. Definitely agree. As long as he is on the field and doing OK that's all we need.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 04:32 PM) A man completely misses a step on the bleachers and falls. Pretty funny lol. Haha, just watched it again.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 08:03 PM) Awesome. Best part was 2:13-2:15 if anyone catches that. What happened there? I couldn't see anything. My favorite part was 2:40-2:46. the quick reaction of the broadcaster was hilarious.

Bears release Charles Grant after signing him two weeks ago. He was also inactive for both games. Is there a more idiotic organization that ours? Maybe the Raiders.

I am going to say Dayan. He is the one if it all comes together will be the best, so I will take him.

Really liked Dexter yesterday, and why does Quinn just annoy me? Not that he is looking into the Dexter, but the way he talks, acts, dresses, walks, etc?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 17, 2010 -> 10:56 PM) Hopefully everyone keeps losing, get Boise to the NC! While I think it would be cool to see Boise there, if they played a power-conference schedule, they would have three or four losses. Still a solid team, but not national-championship worthy. But hey, I am all for seeing them there.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Oct 17, 2010 -> 09:09 PM) That's a sin. Won't last for long, my Mizzou boys will get it done this Saturday. Actually probably won't but I can hope.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 16, 2010 -> 12:23 PM) Depends on how healthy Head is and is Richmond produces right away. Sucks about Hummel because you could have 3 Big 10 teams in the Top 8 with Purdue, OSU, and Illinois. Michigan State says hello.

Hummel out for the year with an ACL tear. Horrible break for the kid and Purdue. Their season just got f***ed. Still will be competitive with Moore, Jackson, Johnson, etc.

It's Always Sunny was awful last night. I laughed a couple time and most were only because Frank was half-naked. Although his whole bit about the greased up watermelon was slightly funny. Overall, this season has been awful.

Great quote in last paragraph from C.J. Wilson on why Josh Hamilton was given the green light to hang out with him:

Can Hossa, Toews and Kopecky play every minute? Kaner is getting exposed for his defense big time his year, no Toews to pick up the slack.

Brent Morel ranks 11th in the International League prospect list right behind Dan Hudson. Ranked higher than some very highly touted players (Jake Arrieta, Yonder Alonso, Jose Tabata, Wilson Ramos, etc.) He has really proven to be a great pick despite looking like an overdraft at the time. Odd though that Morel is ranked and Viciedo isn't. In terms of being a "prospect" where a lot of the definition is on potential, Dayan crushes Morel. I am sure most here would agree with that. Thoughts on Morel ranked and Dayan not? Perhaps he wasn't eligible?

Asik is gonna be a very serviceable back-up. I love his game, energy and sheer massiveness in the paint. Noah is just awesome, I would argue the second best center in basketball based on overall game (his offense is really improving). Clearly D-Howard is #1, but off the top of my head, I can't think of another I would rather have (maybe there are, but names elude me). Rose looks ready to become a 23-24/7 guy. Can't wait til he has Boozer for that inside/outside presence. Bulls bench is very good, too. When Boozer comes back, this team could be very good.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 12, 2010 -> 09:44 AM) Thursday's may have been the best one ever, definitely in the top 3. The 80's montage was genius. It was good, Boat episode was really funny, too. But the first two weeks sucked.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Oct 9, 2010 -> 11:04 AM) Sandy Alderson is an intriguing name. As much as I love Hahn, I think Alderson has a more proven track record. He is basically Rick Hahn with proof as a good GM. QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 11, 2010 -> 09:38 AM) It sounds like the Mets are closing in on Sandy Alderson. If that gets done then it's a great hire for them. He’s the perfect guy to instill some disipline into that organization. Called it.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 10, 2010 -> 08:42 PM) That's what I'm talkin bout, Dexter Dexter was very good. Looking forward to the Great episode regardless.

Illinois will be a Top-25 team next season. Book it, especially if Martez, Luiget and Leshoure come back.
