DA BEARS I'm so excited this team has made it this far. No matter what happens today, I'm proud of this team and they are on the way to becoming a special team in the next few years

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Jan 15, 2006 -> 09:24 AM) Chandler sucks ass but I think Sweetney just needs to lose some pounds and get in better shape. He looks gassed out there quite a bit. I like how he can get in position and he has nice moves, but my god, he misses so many easy shots. However, he doesn't cost us much money, unlike Tyson.

Lets Go Colts :evilgrin

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 07:03 PM) To clear the road for a Colts Super Bowl? I think a Broncos-Colts matchup would be fun....need to take car of Pitt first, of course. I still remember that ass-whooping the Colts laid on the Bronco's a couple years ago in the playoffs. Got to give the Bronco's credit. Patriots played very un Patriot like, but I'm gonna give that credit to the Bronco's defense. That said this game was much closer than the score cause New England was able to move the ball at will, they just couldn't hold onto it.

QUOTE(Pierzynski 12 @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 07:07 PM) This is a message board not a school. You fail in both I'm sure.

QUOTE(Pierzynski 12 @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 07:03 PM) If i find it funny that Iowa could only beat Penn St by 4 then so be it.......... Go pay attention to your Illini. Leave all Iowa bashing to Heads cause you don't deserve to bash Iowa, especially after a win.

QUOTE(Pierzynski 12 @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 06:55 PM) Uh two people told me this already. :rolly Don't roll your eyes at me. Why don't you learn something about sports before you jump to conclusions and slam teams for winning.

Just wanted to say that the Bulls played a very strong 1st quarter and well overall a strong 1st half only to take a total dump in the 2nd half. It kills how every freaking game the opponent is taking 20+ free throws more than the Bulls. It was a disgrace to lose to Indiana at home with O'Neal out. Hell they've had enough trouble winning with O'Neal there. On a sidenote, Sweetney and Chandler both f***ing BLOW. Sweetney misses wide open shot after wide open shot and Chandler has zero energy and looks totally lost. I don't care if he has all the potential in the world, we overpaid and if we could get anything of value for him because another team can utilize him better than we can, than I'd part ways with him. Its stupid to pay him what we are and I loved the way Tyson played last year, but the Bulls made a mistake, imo. I do agree to a fold that he's suffering from not having a center, but I'm sorry, a lack of a center isn't enough of a reason for him to play like total horses***. He's one of the most overpaid players in the game right now. Tim Thomas is #1 on that list.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 11:17 PM) I bet you he won't remember if he doesn't happen across this thread. Heck, he'd still forget anyways. Are you kidding me. I never forget. I also owe Krush one.

QUOTE(Pierzynski 12 @ Jan 14, 2006 -> 11:16 AM) Iowa could only beat Penn St by 4 Did we not whoop the Illini? A win is a win. Any road game is a challenge in the Big 10.

QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 07:24 PM) I heard that and it was so lame. It's a stupid analogy too. You can see the newspaper for free online. It's in a different format/perspective than in print, as is going to a hockey game in person compared to on TV. Plus teams get paid by the TV station for the rights to the games and people pay for Comcast Chicago so therefor they are paying to see the Hawks game in a sense. Wirtz is freaking trash.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 07:41 PM) I've been told Stephen A Smith said the T-Wolves have offered Wally and Hassell for Francis. If so, the Magic should probably go ahead and make that deal. Then they can package Cato and Hedo for a better big. Wow, I'd do that deal if I were the Magic. Francis is a heck of a talent but Wally is having a strong season and both Hassel and Wally are at least playing hard (well this year).

I've long said if you look at Kenny, he appears to do a good job of picking and choosing which prospects he deals and which he keeps. Sure, over the time, considering the prospects he gives up (a lot of them) he's going to give up a few that bite ya in the butt. The key is to not do that for the most part and to make sure you end up getting what you need in those deals to help your major league squad. So far I think he's done that and than some.

Amare Stoudamire said he will not be back in February. Instead he thinks he'll be back in March.

Stephen A Smith says that Paul Pierce isn't getting moved. Said Danny Ainge told him that. Just take it for what its worth.

They had a strong 1st period and during the period had a great power play kill where Sharp and Calder played tremendous (they ended up scoring a few seconds after the power play ended). Strong period for the Hawks. They looked to play with more hustle than I've seen the few times I've watched them this year.

Looking good Alex

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 09:30 AM) How about these? If you do want a logo that can be used, give me some idea of exact dimensions, resolution and file format and I'll have a go. I love this stuff. I'd like a smaller version of some of these (once we kind of come up with one or two to use) and than make sure they appear in all our banners and on very page of the site.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 01:36 PM) I do really like the ones that have the ST logo in them somewhere. That way we could use the ST even without the full logo and it would still look very nice. These are freaking awesome. Kind of brands the ST thing in people's minds. Now all we need is a fancy slogan to boot. You will definately see these implimented in our new banners and other stuff.

QUOTE(SnB @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 07:22 AM) here's some more boys, man i can't wait for this game. http://media.sports.ign.com/articles/681/681100/vids_1.html Can I say AWESOME

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 09:19 AM) Hate to change the subject, but Carmen and Silvy were just talking about some reporter (missed the name) that was on Cold Pizza that said the Bulls and Celtics are in serious talks about a trade that could include the following... Bulls get: Paul Pierce Celtics get: Ben Gordon, Tim Thomas OR Bulls get: Paul Pierce, Ricky Davis Celtics get: Ben Gordon, Tim Thomas, #1 pick (from Knicks) Personally, I don't see any of these scenarios happening. Not sure why the Celtics would want anything to do with Tim Thomas, and even Pierce for Gordon straight up would be an absolute steal for the Bulls (not a big Gordon fan). Carmen and Silvy talked about this for a good 10 minutes, and I still missed on who exactly reported it. Still, if this is legit, where do I sign? Oh man, if we could get Paul Pierce, I'd be so damn happy. It gives the Bulls a really good SG. He's better than Peja and the Bulls could focus on finding a big in the off-season. Not sure I'd even want Ricky Davis (although I think he's a good player), probably would rather have the pick, unless I could spin Davis for a quality big. That said, the top article on chicagosports.com said Paxson full blown denied the deal and any talks. I don't know where this comes from, but any deal with those players where we get Paul Pierce is a winner in my book. Hinrich goes back to being the point and the Bulls backcourt is quite good (with Duh coming off the bench) and Pargo turning into a solid scorer off the bench.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 03:31 PM) No Zook was not a choice, I believe that he was really the only option that Illinois had. There program was going no where, they are in a terrible recruiting spot, and most of the home grown talent already looks at Michigan, ND, OSU as better places to play. Illinois just did not have much on the table to go out and get a stud coach with. That being said, I think that Illinois could have taken a look at a guy who is in a Mid Major, or small conference and wooed him with the chance of being in a big conference. Zook just does not do much for me as more than a place holder. Still Zook is not getting awesome players, hes getting good players. And his coaching is not that much of an improvement over Turner. His recruiting however is. (Edit) Would you rather have Self, the recruiter, or Weber, the coach? Or lets talk Big 10 football. Ferentz, whom hasn't had great recruiting classes to work with or some guy like Zook who does a good job recruiting. I know one thing, Ferentz gets his guys and makes em better. He hasn't had much of a recruiting class, but I'm hoping his statement where he once again turned down the pro's will help get a couple more good recruits in. IIRC they had a good recruiting class last year (especially by Iowa's standards). Oh and I'd take Ferenzt (a hell of a coach, maybe not the greatest recruiter) over just a recruiter any day of the week.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 10:57 AM) the drive to Tucson is a bit of a drag, but I stay in the Phoenix area every year. Also allows you to see some of the Sox road games since most of the teams are in the Phoenix area. Bring your sticks if you golf. Great food at TEP. Usually Sox tickets are easy to come by, but something tells me this year will be different. Thats what I do. I prefer the Phoenix area to the Tuscon area. Usually I try to catch 1 game at TEP and than 2 games while they are playing down in the Phoenix area on the road.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 03:05 PM) Does anyone know if it will be released for the PC, too? No...just PS2 and Xbox (well maybe the cube too).
