QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 24, 2007 -> 06:23 PM) He admits to buying the property, buying the dogs, training the dogs, transporting the dogs, killing the dogs, bankrolling the operation, but he didn't bet on the dogs. Yeah right. Of course. Because if he illegally gambled, he will be banned from the NFL. The other stuff won't result in his ban. What a prick.

Kinda funny.

QUOTE(29andPoplar @ Aug 24, 2007 -> 04:01 PM) Yes, thank you. But let's not let reality get in the way of knee jerk reaction rants about the White Sox screwing their fans. BEEEEEEEEEEEER MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 24, 2007 -> 03:29 PM) So as i have mentioned before I live within a 3wood (in mymind) of the sears tower. Last night from my roof deck you could watch the lightning repeatedly strike the sears tower with clarity. My friend recorded it on his cell phone and it was unreal how clear it is. that would be kinda cool to watch actually.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 24, 2007 -> 01:18 PM) No kidding. Try 7am start, a sandwich at your desk for lunch, and a 7 pm leave - IF you're lucky. Yep. You notice it's all us accounting/finance pukes that put in these kind of hours? Note to people: the $$ is pretty good, but the hours suck for those of you thinking about finance.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 24, 2007 -> 12:46 PM) How much of that time "working" are you guys on ST? Shhh. Not as often as you'd think - usually what I do is pop on and off in about a minute or less to make sure things are still cookin'.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 24, 2007 -> 12:57 PM) Lester Munson was talking about this on ESPNNews last night, and he was pretty amazed that Vick is going to attempt to dictate the plea agreement by not admitting his guilt on the dog-killing and gambling. If he doesnt plead guilty to those crimes, does that mean the feds can still go after him on those seperate offenses that he is not admitting guilt to? I hope so. Ron Mexico's arrogance is amazing to me, really.

Sounds pretty crazy up there - much like it was here in Jun and Jul.

Summer colds are the worst - they seem to last forever.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 11:47 PM) No kidding. I wonder if you guys would like having a day of classes that looks like this: 8-12 work 12-12:30 lunch 12:30-5 work yea, right now mine's 8-1 work 1-1:15 lunch 1:15 - 8 or 9 work but it's the time of year more then anything.

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 04:18 PM) I just realized mixing college classes and being a college athelete is going to take some serious time management skills. Welcome to the (NOT SO) real world. You think it's bad now, wait until you have a real job.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 09:14 PM) Which gets your attention? Something on the Senate floor or an email in your box from a friend? Which is more important, OJs being found not guilty or the public perception? And Balta, you are correct. Had President Clinton kept his pants on he could have done more. At that point in time if he had made a big case about Binny, I could hear all the GOPerheads, led by Rush, hollering tail wagging the dog. His immoral actions costed us dearly. You people crack me the hell up. That "picture" was a political stunt and is still talked about all over the place (which is what led it to being in a stupid email circulating around the internet in the first place), but now, it's nothing - it didn't mean anything or really ever happen. Whatever. "As long as it supports your gal".

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 07:36 PM) I think that the emails that get forwarded around along with the bulls*** water cooler talk that goes along with it has more to do with who gets elected President than the facts on the news and all that. One man gets an email saying that there are spiders laying eggs in people's cheeks and before you know it, everybody's checking themselves to make sure that Mitt Romeny doesn't want to eat their babies. Nobody gives a s*** what is or isn't in the record of the Senate or what the context is. Everybody cares about the silly convictions they pick up from their friends, family and by extension, emails. You give way too much credit to that, then.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 07:27 PM) Right right right, she was pandering to the illiterate conspiracy theorists... ...but which ones? That email is, for the most part, dishonest, and whoever wrote it knew that the initial anger of "WHY WON'T PEOPLE ASK THESE QUESTIONS!"!!!!!!1 would be what would last, and they knew it. OMFG. Greg, come on, you're not this stupid. A stupid little email going around on the internet, versus a United States Senator, on the floor of a Senate, holding up a newspaper with headlines on it saying "Bush knew"... which is going to last for the duration of time? It's only in the record of the senate. Yes, the email is stupid. Hilliary is not. Now let's stop with the pettiness, shall we?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 06:36 PM) The "Bush Knew" aticle in the post and Hillary's appearance in the Senate weren't charges that he was involved with it or conspired. Try again. I specifically googled for the article to make sure. Some of these questions are all right. Some of them are bulls***. I'll get into it later. And you surely don't think that the picture of her holding that picture/article was to support Bush, do you? I don't give a s*** what she said, the picture was what would last, and she knew it.

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 04:26 PM) imho i also think that Bush over-reacted when it came to Iraq primarily because he felt blindsided by what happened in 9-11. It was a wake up call to him. And I agree with that as well. And to be fair, I think they also looked at it as a chance to change course in the Middle East. I, however, do not think that the full story has played out yet, and that we should just leave at this point in time.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 04:26 PM) Of course President Clinton should have known and stopped Binny years before. Ahhh, how we protect "our players" Thanks for playing . . . Hey jackass, read the rest of the thread. Seriously, there's plenty of blame to go around... all the way back to 1978/1979 or so, maybe even further back if you want to look past Jimmy Carter.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 05:15 PM) Awesome. Nice to see that the voice of the public still sometimes has an effect. to everyone who made themselves heard. SOXTALK DOES IT AGAIN!

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 04:54 PM) Aye, and then the line would'a been, "I wish I knew how to quit ewe." That was bad. Just bad.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 05:17 PM) On occasion, it can also be a defensive move, if they are afraid of someone trying to buy into more control of their company. Good call. Less shares outstanding = more shares that a company can control.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 04:07 PM) Link Of course, Balta, my answer is a slippery slope, but so was yours. Half the bulls*** that is out there about every argument you make is from some leftist-leaning website and is "fact"... or better yet, it's a government document that is "independent in nature"... oh, but they have no reason to be biased on anything, do they? The only reason that I post half the stuff I do in such a hyperbolic sense is because it's the exact opposite of the garbage I see posted here all the time. The truth of everything is almost always in the middle of what you're posting and my nonsense (yea, yours is sensical because it's linked and has support... mine's just "emotionalism") that I post as hyperbole. For this particular topic, there are choices that we all make - you want good health care? Pick a career to where you can take care of things like that. Oh, I forgot... some of us never get the opportunity to better themselves because they have gotten screwed by life and/or the private sector, so Uncle Sam should take care of me and my needs. All of them. Let's put a $$ amount for SCHIPS program (on the yellow brick road to universal health care I go...) if the floor is $61500 (or whatever it is) I should go ask my boss for a $2000 pay cut if I'm making $63K so my kids' health insurance is paid for! WHAT an incentive to do better! YA! Don't strive for those promotions or to work better, NO! YOUR GOVERNMENT will take care of you! I hate the whole "de-centive" nature of what handouts mean... including government (read: universal) health care means. And it's not just health care. It's social security, it's in the tax coffers, and I could go on and on and on... WE have choices, and I choose to better myself as much as I can so I don't have to wait for my government to take care of me. But now, I'll get some answer about how I'm a camel nose kisser slipperly slope poster.

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 03:45 PM) you're correct. He didn't "allow it" to happen. At the same point, playing Monday morning QB and comparing it to the actions of prior Presidents with similar threats, he did not go as far as he should of with taking the threat seriously. Agreed. All of the prior presidents allowed this to blossom into what it did, starting with Jimmy Carter ALL THE WAY through 9/11, yes, including one Ronald Reagan (remember Beruit?).

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 03:44 PM) Stephan Marbury is a jackass. Nice commentary.

I would retort some of this, but of course it would be a COMPLETE waste of time. However, one I will comment on. The "knowing about 9/11 before it happened" bit is just pure bulls***. I get so tired of seeing how Bush knew about 9/11 and it's a conspiracy and he allowed it to happen, yet read in the next sentence about how stupid Bush is. You can't have it both ways, and it just feeds the hate mongering that goes on every single day in this country. Thanks for playing, and have a nice day.
