QUOTE(redandwhite @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) I am looking into buying a nice laptop as I will be needing it for college next year, and have the funds at the moment. I've been searching and doing some minor research on my own, but i figured i might be able to get some help here. $1000-1500$ price range, preferably less, but if its a really good one I wouldn't mind. I want wireless internet I feel aswell. What do you guys suggest? If you're looking for good customer service don't buy HP/Compaq. Wireless internet pretty much comes standard these days. Just stay away from Gateway. Those things are pieces of crap. Dell, HP & the Sony Vaio are good choices all around.

When they execute this son of a b**** let the girl throw the switch.

For what its worth the only team hotter than the Bears right now is the Colts.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 03:34 PM) and the coaches know that by Grossman being 3rd string. Isn't that message enough. Grossman is only 3rd string until he's 100%. When hes totally healthy ( trying to keep a straight face when I say that ) then he moves up to 2nd.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 03:29 PM) Shut Up! All of you blind Grossman supporters should realize that he isn't even healthy enough to start. You want Jeff Blake over Orton? Because Grossman coming in right now isn't even a f***ing valid option. Grossman is healthy enough to be a 3rd String QB that is it. Grossman isin't a viable option IMO. Yeah he has more talent than Orton ( DUH! ) but you breathe on the guy wrong and hes out 4-6 weeks. For now I say give Blake a chance ( wont happen cause the defense keeps bailing out Orton ). In the offseason its time to look for a star QB in free agency or at least a serviceable one.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 03:26 PM) why? Because thats all they ever do. How many high picks have we wasted in the last 10 years trying to draft the next Walter Payton?

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 03:18 PM) who does he have as a Wide Receiver? Moose will be double covered. This is why the Bears need to draft a Receiver with the first pick. He has no Receiving talent around him if Moose is double covered and that is what has been going on. I got 50 bucks says they draft another running back.

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 02:58 PM) I have been an Orton supporter for much of the year, making excuses for him, "he's a rookie, managing the game well" etc with the only game that I had a real complaint about was the Bengals game. Today however I cannot make excuses for him. This was not managing the game, this was the defense bailing him out over and over again. Now, I am not writing Orton off because rookie QBs do struggle in the NFL, but if the Bears make noise in the postseason it will be in spite of Orton not because of him. They go into the playoffs with Orton and they're toast.

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 02:53 PM) YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! This defense is incredible! Of course since the offense cant do s*** the defense will do it for them. ALL BOW BEFORE THE BEARS DEFENSE!!!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 02:52 PM) The only potential saving grace if they lose is that they'll seriously consider making a change at QB. They should do it anyway. Theres no f***ing reason in the world they should be struggling with a s*** team like the Packers.

This is totally f***ing pathetic. The Bears can still lose this game.

This game should be such a blowout. Seriously it should be at least 31-3 right now. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO We have the GREAT KYLE ORTON as our QB.

Defense saves their ass again. One more field goal and we should have this wrapped up. EDIT: BAH!!!! Another wasted opportunity.

Since Orton isin't even capable of playing catch in his back yard we're stuck having to run the ball almost every play and its not hard to shut down a running game if they know you cant pass.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 02:04 PM) Where are the Kyle Orton apologists? This is just brutal, and I would think the D is starting to say some things about Kyle behind closed doors. I dont want to hear anything about "Well, the Bears are not losing with under QB" He has not done a thing to HELP this team win. Grossman, Blake, f***, Quinn could do the same thing. A 5.6 rating? 5.6? YOU'RE f***ING FIRED KYLE!!!!!!!!!! Put Blake in there.

Itd be nice for us if we'd catch a punt cleanly once in a while.

Bears get ball 1st in the 3rd quarter.........lets see what they can do with it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 01:35 PM) We're lucky to even be in this game right now. Our defense, especially Brown and Urlacher, are struggling today. They have to have a bad day sometime. Still only giving up 7 points to Brett Farve's Packers is pretty damn good so far.

When is this team going to start waking the f*** up on offense and stop putting the whole game on the defense's shoulders?

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 11:13 AM) Good to see that moralist fascist prick take a big hit. And speak of the Devil -- I had written my first application article for the Herald on Safe Games Illinois cuz I was so outraged. There is a clear and present danger to Illinois residents. I am not talking about the budget crisis. I am not talking about funding disparities in Illinois schools that rank Illinois near the bottom nationally in education. I'm talking the thing every person fears -- pixilated video game violence! Safe Games Illinois is a program started by Governor Blagojevich is looking to ban the sale of "Mature" rated video games to children under the age of 18. Not only is this a waste of the Governor's time but there are several fundamental flaws with his moralistic crusade. On the Safe Games Illinois web site, the Governor states that he wants to "shield our children" from objectionable items. I'm sorry Mr. Blagojevich, but can we leave the decision making regarding the raising of children to the child's parents instead of having the government intercede as "We know what's good for everyone" nanny? A parent knows their child much better than the Illinois General Assembly and would know if the child is developmentally able to distinguish fantasy from reality enough to enjoy a video game. The Governor claims that we must keep these objectionable games out of the hands of very young children. However, Mr. Blagojevich fails to realize that for many young children, the money to buy different items lies within Daddy's wallet or Mommy's purse. The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rates these games and gives accurate descriptions to assist families and parents. Parents are able to see clear descriptions that detail the age appropriateness and also what potentially objectionable items a game entails. If the parents do not want their child to have such games, it is the parents' responsibility to steer them towards a more age appropriate game. Even if Safe Games Illinois passes and the child wants an objectionable game, a parent can always purchase it for them thus making his law ineffectual. Governor Blagojevich also states "When kids play, they should play like children, not like gangland assassins". Mr. Governor, when a child is able to distinguish reality from fantasy, they can play these games and not go out to commit violent atrocities. Children have been playing 'Cops and Robbers' and 'Cowboys and Indians' for years. Are you seriously contending that government further polices the play habits of children? How far do you want to go with this policy? Shall we have government enforcers on playgrounds? Focus on solving the problems real violence and real atrocities that unfortunately permeate our society instead of crusading against those perpetrated in a fantasy world on a television set. Mr. Governor, please allow parents to make the choices that they feel are appropriate for their children. Parents, take the time to learn what your children are playing. Sit down with them and find out why they like playing certain games. Talk to them about why you may not like them playing certain games. Communicate -- because it beats the government usurping your rights. LOL!!! Someone really hates Governor Rod. HAHAHA I totally agree with your post BTW.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 12:46 PM) He doesn't need to look it up...the original post is right up there. You 2 misunderstood what i said. Rex talked about the "voice of the Democratic Party" insulting this candidate and I said that the Democratic leader of the State Senate certainly qualifies. I think "Uncle Tom" is pretty insulting, how about you?

EAT s*** SPANKEES!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 02:30 AM) Oh, someone's blog. That's like saying because Balta might accuse the president of stomping puppies, that's the view of the entire Democratic party. It's wrong to call someone an Uncle Tom, or a Sambo, or expose their credit record (which in my opinion is REALLY REALLY wrong). But FOX News insinuating that some dude's blog is the voice of the Democrats is like me saying that Pat Robertson's blog would be the voice of the mainstream GOP. Damn liberal media bias. Some dude's blog? Nah......... The Democratic leader of the State Senate?? Defenitely.

I'll lead off. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,177617,00.html The party of tolerance, champions of diversity and equality for all had this to say about a black man running for Senate in Maryland as a Republican. f***ing hypocrites. Further proof that the Democratic party is all about seing black people get ahead...........provided you fall into lockstep with their leftist views. :rolly
