QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 11:53 AM) Davis is nothing but a pipe dream at this point. There ain't a snowball's chance in hell he falls to the Bears. If the Rams find a way to grab him, they've just added a very deadly component to that already high-flying offense. Although it's a bit early to tell, I think you'll see Pope drafted ahead of Lewis. I really think Lewis hurt his stock in the Sun Bowl and is going to need a nice combine to work that back up again. Pope looks to be my #1 sweetheart. I just love what he brings to the game. He would be an absolutely perfect fit for the Bears and I would say it'd be one of the finer first-round draft selections of the organization in the recent past. He's just a perfect fit. The days of the dominating TEs are not a thing of the past. I think they are still very much alive. Pope would add a very special component to that Bearss anemic offense that would merit intense preparation for opposing defensive coordinators. I've seen Lewis really slipping lately. In fact, he could be there in the middle of the 2nd round when the Bears pick. A few people have rated Fasano over him and Fasano is a 1st day pick, but I don't see him going earlier than middle of the 2nd round as well. I think you got to go best available if you are the Bears (aside from MLB and obviously RB). So if there is a really good athlete available when the Bears pick I think you grab him or take advantage of this guy being on the board and move down a few slots for some extra draft spots. Thats mainly because I think you can get a Fasano or Lewis with our 2nd round pick and I don't think Pope is a full round better than those two. However, Davis is, but he's a freakish athlete whose gonna go top 15.

QUOTE(SnB @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 01:28 PM) yeah, you can preorder at any website really, ebgames, gamestop, amazon. Though it kinda defeats the purpose since shipping will take an extra day anyway. No, I meant to say pre-order it via the web, but pick it up at the gamestop near you.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 01:24 PM) Damnit, I need to get the release up on FS reasonably soon.... i put up the WS release yesterday. Didn't see one out for the others yet, but I've been really busy working on the new Soxtalk and an upgrade to FutureSox cause I want both to be really badass again.

QUOTE(SnB @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 10:51 AM) I called my EB and they said thursday. They also said it's probably going to be a popular title and to preorder it, which i'm going to do later on today. (maybe that's just because i'm in a college town though) Can you preorder for a store online? I saw there would be a preorder release on Wed on the website or something like that.

Some good moves. Santana's taking over in WS and I really like Shines moving up to AAA. Shines has done a great job and is a really solid minor league manager (has some fire too) and maybe he'll change the attitude in Charlotte (it is in need of a change).

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 09:35 AM) This game is very important for IU. Gotta hold serve at home in the Big 10. I think if Brown gets hot as he has been known to do, it could be a long night for the Hoosiers. However, I think the combo of Vaden and Killingsworth get it done at home. I'm not much for predictions, but I think IU should pull it out by 4 or 5. PS Someone needs to beat Wisconsin and soon. I heard some guy talking about Wiscy and he said he thought they were the best team in the Big 10. All I know is they get zero love and they have probably been the best big 10 team outside of the Illini the past few years (MSU has been solid too).

Wow....that Devry is gonna have one hell of a team Watch out for one of those online clown colleges. I hear they are sleepers.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 09:14 AM) Reading the Operation Spots board, looks like your going to be hard pressed to find it today. Whats the operation sports board? I know I've never found a place that releases the games earlier than the EA release. The few times I looked I was told if EA found out they released a day early, EA wouldn't allow them to sell the games.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 08:43 AM) I remember something similar on one of those wild TLC or Discovery programs which highlight humany misery. May have been Spike TV, I don't recall. But anyways, it was caught on film. A mechanic of a fighter jet was caught on night vision walking past a turbine engine, where he was literally sucked into it. He miraculously survived. It looked surreal on tape; something you'd never expect to witness. Too bad this guy wasn't so lucky. I remember seeing that clip. It was insane.

Good news. Thats good money for him. Sox were able to avoid arbitration and I can't explain how great of news that is. Arbitration can really hurt a teams chances when the player does become a FA.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 11:03 PM) 2nd round and bye bye again. That team amazes me, their offense is so very good but not just that they can't defend it almost seems like they dont care. They score and they just get beat in transition, it's kind of sad to watch. All it takes is an off-shooting night for them and they are gone. It sucks cause I really like the Zags. I happened to be at the regional the 1st year they made the run. Their fans are awesome. A couple of the students were telling me that they essentially close down the school when the team gets in the tourney and pretty much everyone goes to watch em.

Avant is slotted more towards the 3rd-5th round.

If one of you guys finds it today, do tell, cause than I'll get off my ass and try and pick it up during my lunch break.

Thanks again DK. dowloaded the stuff and I'm going to fiddle around with it and try and do a show in a week or so and see how it works.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 05:28 PM) ^^^ I can't fall asleep without a TV on either... I need that or a radio. Something to just help ya unwind before you pass out.

Last year this was one of the best places to talk the draft and hopefully it will be even better this year Special thanks to Addy for setting this up and maintaining it. He did an awesome job last year and I'm sure we'll see more of the same.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 01:56 PM) Nah, just the only one who cares... The fest is sold out

QUOTE(Spiff @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 12:28 PM) two questions: 1) do you know what knowledge is? 2) do you know how to use it? One answer: No

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 11:24 AM) You should look at the used books on amazon.com in the future. I've found that their used books usually cost half of what they charge for used books at the campus bookstores. Or see if you can find international editions. Those bad boys are dirt cheap. But last semester I was able to buy two brand new books for dirt cheap on amazon and when I sold them back to my school, they actually paid me $5 more than I paid for 1 book and $2.50 more than i paid for another book. It was the 1st time I ever beat the school at anything. Of course they are still mega up on me for all those freaking books they refuse to buy back because new editions are out.

Uh oh. Your guys are all weird deaths: You suffer a massive heart attack while home alone. You collapse to the ground, only to be found dead hours later.

I bought OffSpring Smash and Green Day Dookie right around the same day. I think Offspring Smash was the 1st. And SNB, sadly, that Batman Forever Cd was purchased by myself as well

Congrats Steff

Yep...its where i play video games. Also where I watched the latter part of that 14 inning Sox game.

Not till Jan 30th. WOOT

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jan 15, 2006 -> 10:47 PM) Interesting choices there. Polley would be awesome and Peterson would be even better but I think Peterson would be too expensive and Hillenmeyer is probably going to get resigned. Aaron Brooks will get a starting job somewhere IMO. I don't think Brooks gets a starting nod and I think thats exactly the type of guy the Bears look at. Plus if I were a backup I wouldn't mind the Bears job at all simply because while you know Rex is the guy, you also know he's injury prone. Plus you know if you do get the starting nod, you have some offensive weapons and a defense that can really help ya out.
