QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 12:32 PM) Trust me, in no definition of dick was I being a dick. The definition of polite was me. I pulled over instantly, not even 50 yards from the stop sign. I did everything he asked. I never once spoke in anything but a respectful tone, albeit a bit too chatty. I f***ing apologized to him twice personally for barely rolling a stop sign to which he had no response. I don't really understand why your line was called for and delivered. Trust me, this cop had dickish tendencies. I did not in this case. You won't even acknowledge the cop might have had some dick in him. I would ask all board members: Considering it was 1 a.m., he knew I wasn't drunk, it was a fricking side street, I did stop yet admittedly not completely and rolled through the stop sign, cmon the guy was a bastard for writing me up and costing me 140 bucks wouldn't you say?? I mean you have to be an asshole by definition to give somebody a ticket for a stop sign violation unless you are ordered to raise money on the last day of the month (although it was after midnight technically on the 1st). Greg - I believe everything your saying and cop might have been that way, but you broke the law and deserved the ticket. Problem with rolling is the times that you drive on autopilot you very well might roll and not realize someone else is there. Could he have been nice and let you off, sure, but doesn't make him a dick because he didn't. That said, he could very well have been a jerk to you. You also have to remember that anytime an officer pulls someone over, it could be the last person they pull over. Never know who might pull something, etc...always on their guard.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 12:59 PM) He wasn't joking. This was mentioned right at the start of the offseason too. He actually trained to play PG this offseason. Either way...I love it.

Gould is untouchable. He's only 33...he's in the prime of his kicking career. Guy could kick till he's 40.

Does that mean no Jay too...has to, right?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 09:47 AM) I would find it most unusual to fire the bench coach. Then fire the manager. This pretty much tells you who is managing the 2016 White Sox. Unless Robin decides he doesn't want the gig, he'll be the mgr. This is just further proof of it. That said, Parent is close to Ventura so this is a sign of the front office being a bit more involved, however, as Robin said, they do have say in the hiring of assistants. Is Ozz going to be the new bench coach?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 09:45 AM) What usually happens is they probably told him he isn't coming back and gave him the option to stick it out. At this point, might as well get a 3 day head start on the offseason. He needs to start looking for a job. Unless he has pissed someone off, I would imagine that is how it is. I think they gave all of Ozzie's coaches the choice except Cora. I presume that is the case as well...just seems like you'd instead say, we aren't bringing you back, take the next few days off and figure out where you want to go (start calling people, etc). I guess semantics is you were fired (since you weren't re-hired / resigned).

Interesting. I don't see the point with three days to go and an expiring contract. Why not just not renew the contract.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 08:24 AM) Yeah, Jimmy is everything you want in your star player. I love the kids story, and his heart. He was being interviewed during media day and was joking about how he can play point guard. He may not need to joke. Buckets is such a great teammate and just awesome.

I just want to say...for all that is wrong with Rose...all that and then some is right with Butler. He had Dougie McBuckets stay and train with him at his "mansion" in San Diego for a few weeks. Doug said he was getting up at 5:30 but every morning at 5 Jimmy could come storming in to start the training routine. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baske...1001-story.html

QUOTE (shipps @ Oct 1, 2015 -> 03:27 PM) Very interesting matchup tonight with the Ravens and Steelers. The Ravens CANNOT go 0-4 and the Steelers are fully capable of having an offensive explosion even with Vick as QB. I think the Ravens are still really good and I just cant see them losing this game and pretty much knocking themselves out of contention. They know how important this game is. Trestman effect. Oh and the secondary isn't very good.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 03:00 PM) I HATE team anthems or parody songs, they all suck. This one is awesome. https://soundcloud.com/voiceoverdan/derrick...an/derrick-rose This is amazing.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 01:33 PM) The big move this year will involved a 3B or C this year. I think we'll spend big bucks on a catcher or 3B.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 12:30 PM) Legally they probably have no case. Morally, I find it disgusting the school did this, especially after the kid had already started the school year. Ar they kicking out students if their parents divorce, or there is an affair? I mean really. Get over your bigoted selves. I completely agree...at the same time, while it takes courage to sue, I don't see how it helps. Putting your kid in the spotlight might help other people's cause, but it negatively impacts your child at that age. You don't want to be the kid who if you google their name a big story comes up. If It were me, I'd be royally pissed and make a stink but I'd never send my kids back to that institution. I would try file a suit to fight for rights of others but I also would understand I'm going to lose. Totally wrong what the school did and so bigoted.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 12:13 PM) Interesting, especially given how much DJ and Farmer seem to hate Eaton's defense this year. I know I've said it a few times, but it wouldn't shock me at all if Eaton is dealt this offseason. Absolutely no chance. You don't trade one of your few good position players. Stick him in left where he'd be above average. That said, he's been up and down defensively so you know he has ability to be above average in center. Either way, given the crap we have in the outfield, I'm not going to trade the one serviceable one we have in Eaton.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 11:52 AM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 16h16 hours ago Jeff Samardzija praised Trayce Thompson's defense, said he should play every day even if "he hits .050." Presume this is a shot at some of our other outfielders too. Should be...Melky and Avi are horrendous out there.

Surgery successful. No structural damage.

So I saw something indicating closer to 1-2 weeks (that is what they mentioned on ESPN). Has that been confirmed? Or more to come out later today after the surgery?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 05:58 PM) I'd do the same thing with his fame and money. I agree with everything else. I wouldn't. Not even close.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 07:36 AM) His regression could be a number of factors, #1 being Franklin isnt half the offensive coach the BOB is. He also seems to suffer from holding the ball too long waiting for guys to get open. He hasn't shown the smarts / ability to improve. That is a huge red flag for me. I want a QB who has the tools and consistently gets better. Far more likely they can project forward since they've shown an ability to develop and improve already (vs. get worse / stagnate...that reaks of someone who purely gets by on ability and nothing more). I do realize their are other factors, such as talent, that could force you to not be as good, but I want a guy who is a heady football player. Cook and Goff appear to be that guy with Cook being the guy whose done it in a more pro-style attack and who has shown terrific accuracy at times. He gets a little wild outside of the pocket, but that is something that we can work out.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 07:13 AM) Yeah but thats only half of a title. Their last concensus was in 1948 It still counts.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 30, 2015 -> 07:32 AM) If you didn't see it, you really should. I am trying to remember a better defensive play this year, and I cannot. The gif doesn't do it justice as he covered some major ground just to get into position for the full extension dive. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/649227806489055232 http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/cws/video/v50913...Id=clubMEGAMENU Sox haven't had someone capable of his electric defensive plays in the outfield since...well I don't know...I suppose Brian Anderson. Rowand obviously was capable of the spectacular catch but had nowhere near the defensive tools of Trayce. That catch was incredible. Sox have been such an unathletic team over the years and as the league has shifted to being pitching-centric, athleticism has become so much more critical (defense and baserunning).

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 04:00 PM) @AaronLemingNFL: Was told last night that the hope is still to extend Jeffery & at worst tag him. Doubt he goes anywhere. #Bears https://t.co/hkmyl2i60r Common sense would say that is the plan. You don't rebuild in the NFL by trading your young / talented players. Moving Alshon made zero sense to me. You wouldn't get equivalent value. Now moving someone who is going to be gone at the year, okay, that I can get on board with.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 03:55 PM) Rumor is Rose took a sex toy to the face. Still waiting for confirmation. I can't lie, I laughed out loud. At least you are a funny professional troll. Waiting for new evidence on Derrick Rose's performance in back to backs and how it is more correlated to all the late night post-game activities.

Is it April 1st?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 29, 2015 -> 03:00 PM) Hes probably the 3rd best QB in the conference. Thats not 2nd round stuff. Well, one of those guys is the #1 pick if he were eligible this year and the other is #2 or #3 on Mels' big board, so not necessarily a bad thing to be ranked 3rd in comparison to those other guys.
