5.5 mil it looks like too. Nice deal for Leddy.

Isles just locked Leddy up for 7 years.

QUOTE (Jake @ Feb 23, 2015 -> 12:58 PM) I've been waiting 11 years for official membership Yea I found that funny too. Especially considering I've dealt with posters far worse than Greg. At least he's passionate about the sox, even if he doesn't make sense 99.9999% of the time.

He is still looking for the Jays to deal him. http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/02/...s-to-trade-him/

Pokka, Johns.. any of them would be better than Roszival at this point. Hell, even Oduya has been brutal this year. Then you add in Shaw being our worst forward on the team this year, regular season Bickell, Ben Smith taking 3 steps back, Sharp looking like he doesn't give a s***, etc. and you have a team that is not that elite this season.

Chris Sale just showed up.. with 50 media people surrounding him...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 12:05 PM) I'd be willing to bet that Rose would have improved his passing and defense a ton had he actually been on the court working with Thibs for the past 3 seasons. Rebounds maybe not, but that'd be in part because the Bulls have had Noah and Gibson as their main rebounding guys so Rose would actually be out of position a lot of times to clean things up. Don't get into the rebounding debate with thxfrthmmrs. He's been adamant on that for some reason for a while because Rose isn't Westbrook or Rondo with his athleticism when he has had Noah/Boozer/Gasol etc. big men for years. I remember Zoom arguing with that not mattering for a PG. I have my own opinions, but I generally lean heavily towards Zoom on that debate. I personally still feel VDN stunted his development a bit as a rookie, but that's another discussion.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Feb 15, 2015 -> 12:02 PM) I am sure most of them do. Thing is most of those YouTube dunks take many attempts to before they succeed. And doing it in a competition on National TV is a lot more pressure than dunking at your local gym. Personally I think the new 3 attempts rule is stupid. They should go back to 90 seconds and let guys do whatever they want. At the end of 90 secs, give them 1 final attempt. Oladipo's last attempt of the one hand 360 off a lob could have been special, but he bombed his first two attempts and had to play it safe on the last attempt. No s***. But yea, some do some don't. I don't think any of them really put the research in however. Most will tell you they look at past dunk contest and try to change something from that. I do agree with the changing of the 3 dunk rule as well.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 15, 2015 -> 11:33 AM) Former Hawks player Steve Montador died at the age of 35 this morning. Wow. Wow. Guy was dealing with concussions and depression as well.

God dammit Tex.

Great to see you posting around these parts again daa. This board sorely needs it. I still find that Pedro Alvarez avatar of yours great though. He was amazing in Vanderbilt.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 14, 2015 -> 11:27 PM) I love when we get spectacular dunks that don't need props. Ditto. They're pretty much saving the dunk contest. A damn shame some of these guys don't look up some players on YouTube doing dunks. Some guys are spectacular. (Jonathan Clark before he destroyed his knee was amazing)

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 11, 2015 -> 12:29 PM) Versteeg is back tonight, Nordstrom sent back to Rockford, so Teuvo stays up but appears to be a likely healthy scratch today. Now that is shocking. Good for the kid though to still get those plane rides and collect an NHL check. He still should be in the lineup though. At least Q thinks he should be in the top 6, just no room right now.

Just awful news to hear. Those kids will always have the memories of it, though I'm sure they feel awful. They are stillchampions in my book.

Just got tolled. What a fresh start to the year this has been...

Quick, someone get Mike some new pants!

Just nod your head in agreement and keep it moving.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 6, 2015 -> 04:37 PM) To be fair you pretty much hate everyone born after 1970.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Feb 6, 2015 -> 11:15 PM) Not enough of a two way player for hart maybe lady bing I'll take him winning the Art Ross anyday. I'm sure he'd say the same.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 6, 2015 -> 02:21 PM) I'll go something like Frank's 93 season... http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/thomafr04.shtml I'm with you there, but I'll say his '92 season except less walks, more strikeouts, but more homers. So basically less OBP, but OPS and average stay the same.

Good lord those are awesome. Hopefully I can buy a Griffey version of that.

Denny Almonte's little brother eh? That's pretty cool.

First time consecutive shutouts in the Toews-Kane era.
