QUOTE(alexgtp @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 11:11 AM) guys tune in now.. jack ass extroidanaire eric casillias.. is talking smack about us again.. Dan Patrick is a stupid hack who's career was made by his partner Keith Olbermann back when SportsCenter was worth watching. There is nothing he has to say that I find worth a s***.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 11:53 AM) Every sox fan will but then again, remember when the Twins played the A's in 02 I think it was and the A's had completely owned them in the regular season, only to have the Twins kick their ass in the post. If we do face the A's in the post I hope we do the same. Think about it, if we face them and kick their ass, it would make the post much more special. Just the thought of facing them though is kinda of like saying go home sox. We're gonna have to learn how to beat Oakland sometime. If we can't get past them then we don't deserve to win squat.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 11:06 AM) and kudos also for being sitting back and letting him b****-slap her with the threats of violence, and taking it like a true codependent woman."The police came to me and said, 'This is a kind of threat,' and I said yes," he said. "But it's for the good of this country. There's some twisted logic here. Making violent threats is somehow good for the country? :rolly

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 10:43 AM) Agree. And NUKE where did you see that AA turned a profit..? The CEO's wife here works for their corporate offices and he's always telling us how she's at risk of loosing her retirement $$, and just had to take another pay cut in March. CNBC a week or so ago. Article: http://www.thestreet.com/_tscs/markets/ros...l/10233520.html I was wrong about the 9-11 thing though, they had a tiny profit in the same quarter last year. Those pay cuts and pension reductions you alluded to are a big reason why.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 11:14 AM) Don't discount the vets.. Had NUKE made this thread everyone would be rushing in here to give him a "HELL YEA". :rolly Funny you said that cause I didn't even bother looking at this thread till someone PMed me and said you dragged me into it. People who go through all the threads searching high and low for something they can twist around to make it sound offensive then start screaming about it are far more of a problem than anything me or other posters like me ever did. I mean god forbid people have fun here and express their opinions. Kev said it best in an earlier post in this thread, if you don't like what a poster has to say then just keep scrolling. Nobody is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to read the opinions of others. There would be a lot fewer fights around here if people would stop jumping up and down screaming bloody murder every time someone posted something they didn't agree with. :rolly

QUOTE(winodj @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 06:15 PM) According to the Air Transport Association, 2000 was the last year the airlines as a group were profitable. At the time, the average cost of a gallon of jet fuel was 78.6¢. It's now $1.75. Thanks to cost cutting the major airlines are starting to become profitable again. American and Continental just turned in the first quarterly profits since before 9-11 and the low cost carriers like Southwest and Jet Blue are consistently profitable thanks to their no-frills service and their fuel hedges.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:31 AM) Perhaps, I'm thinking about weaning ourselves off of oil. Then the fundies can have control of all the oil they want with no major market to sell it in. This much I can agree with. Unfortunately there's nothing feasible and cost effective right now. We need to get cracking on this problem soon though.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 11:51 PM) Let's move forward, not backward. The Hawks aren't here to assemble a s***ty ass team filled with former players to try to please fans who have only heard of those guys. I disagree completely. That's exactly what Dollar Bill is planning. He's gonna bring in a bunch of old retread veterans who's best days are long since gone just so he can say he's doing something and pay them a typical lowball Wirtz contract. Its just another snowjob fans. Dont all for it. STAY HOME!!!!!

It makes me scratch my head how fans can profess loyalty to a team where the owner has been f***ing them over for years. Here's a news flash for the 2 dozen or so Blackhawk fans still left. Dollar Bill wont change his ways unless you stop giving him your money!! He wont change anything he's doing now because there are still enough suckers showing up at the UC for him to turn a profit. The only way Dollar Bill will change is if the fans stop coming. You want change you need to stay at home and make that asshole feel it in his wallet. I guarantee you if you people stay home and only about 5000 or less people show up to watch the Hawks get shut out at home......again.........things will get better.

RIP EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 11:54 PM) Once Peter gets ownership of this team, i think you'll see home games on TV for sure. Until then, same old same old. They did say Home playoff games would be on TV. It's better than nothing, i guess. No it isin't. That's like offering to take someone to dinner when you know they can't possibly make it.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 11:39 PM) if dat dont offend u bish, dis will, fish u LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Too bad he didn't shank that dirtbag ump in Boston who was working second the night we got shut out. That was f***ing brutal.

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:56 PM) Is this about the Sox Talk book club? What is the next book? I may join you. Yes and..................yes. We dont have a new one yet though.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 11:03 PM) So if I go to Britain and i wear a heavy coat i should be in danger of being shot in the head by the police. No but you certainly could expect to be questioned in any country when you wear a heavy jacket in the middle of summer.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:38 PM) With all the political correctness going around I seriously need to file a class action lawsuit against Notre Dame and their obvious racist designation of the "Fighting Irish", after I win that I am going after that focker and his lucky charms. And what is with the use of GREEN for sarcasm. Must be a hidden slight against the Irish. LOL HE DIDNT MEAN IT THAT WAY, SOMETIMES WE NEED TO BACK AWAY FROM THE PC BANDWAGON.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:35 PM) First of all, he's Brazilian. What sort of temperatures would you expect him to be adapted to in his home country? Secondly, I believe that the weather that day was something like 70 degrees. Not exactly blaring hot...especially when you're from Brazil. I can't say that the police made a mistake in terms of taking no chances with a guy running away from them under the circumstances. But let's at keast realize that it's not illegal to wear a heavy coat. And I don't know how many times he was shot. I've read 5, 7, and 8. I think 8 will end up being the final #. I'm just saying that someone who wears a heavy jacket like that invites mondo scrutiny from the police because that's one of the tells that they're trained to look for when it comes to suicide bombers.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:25 PM) 1. Gas does cost over a $1 a gallon 2. I'll assume you meant less than instead of greater than 3. Profits for US corporations (many of which buy off, er excuse me...give campaign contributions to our government) are quite nice with the current war. Halliburton getting busted for price gouging, moving empty trucks and charging for it, etc. etc. And if you want to get into the "it is about oil" the Defense Planning Guidance of 1992 written by Cheney and Wolfowitz clearly states that the US role in the region should have a primary goal of controlling Middle Eastern oil. If we don't do something to keep the moderate governments in power over in that region then we're f***ed, along with the rest of the world. Can you imagine a world where islamo-fascists control countries like Kuwait, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and others? Think worldwide depression and 10 dollar a gallon gasoline.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:00 PM) I'm sorry but did you really need the racist comment... I mean refering to them as Jew whatevers... I mean not only is it not accurate but it could offend alot of people. I just don't get why that was included.... AND GREAT JOB SOX!!!! We need to stay on the attack tomarrow... Its ozzie speak dude. It has nothing to do whatsoever with jewish people.

EAT s*** KANSAS s***TY!!!!!!!!!!! MEN AGAINST BOYS YET AGAIN. WHEN YOU GROW UP AND LEARN HOW TO PLAY BASEBALL COME SEE US. GIMMIE A HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) Why have we been checking security at airports? Terrorists!! Before Hijackers, there was no screener, metal detectors, etc. So terrorists won that one a long time ago. Try again. Name me one area where we have more freedom than before? Look how much debt we are racking up in Iraq. That's a victory? What have we won? Are you really saying life in America is better today? Deeper in debt. Less freedoms. More paranoia. You keep babbling about how horrible life in America has become but that's just horses***. Unemployment is 5%, the economy is humming along. We have a big defecit but that is getting smaller by the day thanks to the strong economy and as a percentage of GDP is low in comparison with years past. Your paranoia is little more than a frenzy whipped up by the media to score ratings. Indeed, terrorism is pretty far down the list of what people say they are concerned about in those polls those same hysteria mongers in the press take. The argument that whenever we do something to protect ourselves the terrorists win is just horses***. The only way we can be winning according to your twisted logic is to totally disband our security services, police departments and the military because god forbid somebody gets stopped for speeding because that'd be one more small victory for terrorism. :rolly

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 06:51 PM) I thought it was pretty interesting how Tender wanted to tell people what to do and be their "mentor" with the phone line but then when he gets into the position of being the survivor preacher, he doesn't get to say or do anything on his own. He didn't write the prayer book. Every word out of his mouth is scripted for him by writers and the agent. The Super Bowl moment was hysterical. It was also interesting to hear about how he was always taking orders but it always seemed that he was in control a lot (i.e. telling the caseworker that she should clean for him or he'd kill himself etc) in order to get what he wanted. That part was awesome too. She just did it and not only did she not complain but she was totally motivated to do it. Then you read where Tender's out bulls***ting while the caseworker does all his chores for him.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 08:14 PM) He is kinda forced to play both sides. He doesn't want to be on the wrong side of an economic/military powerhouse like the US but at the same time he's gotta pander to the Pakistani military since they put him in power. Plus there is a lot of support within the military for the values put forth by the Taliban (in regards to gender roles, etc.) so he's gotta pander to the military as well. Totally agree. Musharaff is trying to balance himself on the head of a pin these days. He's already nearly been assassinated twice from the islamo-fascists that inhabit that country because of the support he's given the US and he's still hearing it from us that he needs to do more of this and more of that. We need to be careful how we handle this guy because if he falls I shudder to think what kind of a nut would take over and oh, by the way, they have nuclear weapons.
