GOP blocks Democrats' bill to limit jobs outsourcing

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 28, 2010 -> 10:38 AM) In the first half there were at least three holding calls that were not made. The clothesline on Peppers was one of them. The Packers are not going to get te benfit of the doubt and as was pointed out is part of how they play. Melton's roughing was a joke call. Melton did technically make contact with the helmet. It was ticky-tack, but the rule is ANY contact is prohibited.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 28, 2010 -> 09:50 AM) This is one of the dumbest things I have ever read. You can't count interceptions that come as a result of illegal hits to the quarterback, or by basically tackling our receivers. The Packers basically played outside the rules for 25% of the game and then are going to whine that the results of those plays don't count? Agreed. It's one thing to say an INT was negated by a illegal hold on the opposite side of the field. But two of the INTs were DIRECT results of penalties.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Sep 28, 2010 -> 09:30 AM) Dude, . . . total joke.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 28, 2010 -> 08:54 AM) Arlington Heights is not a western suburb. That's well north of center. Plus, a suburban location means everyone has to drive. So what benefit is there really for suburban fans, unless they are in one of the few suburbs closest to the park? They'd have a traffic-filled drive either way. That would be a lose-lose situation, moving to a NW suburb. I didnt mean to imply AH was a western burb. As a life long Schaumburg resident, I'm well aware of that. I'm just saying that I thought I had read, or heard, that a large portion of the fan base is not necessarily in the "south side". Personally, I think it would be smart of AH to make a play for the Sox, Cubs, or Bears in about 10-15 years. Horse racing is a dying sport and I dont think Arlington Race Track is going to live for very long. That would make a great location for a sports complex.

Thank you George Blanda for helping Peppers block that kick.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 28, 2010 -> 07:36 AM) At least 2 of those picks were probably completed passes without the penalty. The deep ball/Pass interference at the end wasn't a pick unless the Bears' receiver couldn't move. The pick over the middle was only a pick because Cutler had a helmet bounce off his in the middle of the throw; a legal hit and he completes that pass. I was going to say that too.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 28, 2010 -> 07:26 AM) I think that would be an awful move, they'd alienate their south side core of fans in a big way. Wasnt there a survey done that shows a lot of Sox fans are in the western suburbs?

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Sep 27, 2010 -> 10:28 PM) If they ruled Packers Ball. . . Lovie wouldn't have had a challenge. f***ing idiot . The three guys in the booth were HORRIBLE last night.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 27, 2010 -> 03:49 PM) Meaning one side in the contract could raise the rent without agreement from the other side. I have no idea what they currently pay. By the way, its possible that the buyer of the stadium could be the Sox themselves. And I hope the Sox consider buying it themselves. It could give them a lot of flexibility. The greedy person in me wants them to leave in 2025 and move to the West or NW suburbs. But I know that wont happen. Although, by then I'll be living in Iowa or Florida, so it's a moot point really.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 27, 2010 -> 03:46 PM) They can't raise the rent before 2025 unless one of these things is true: 1. The ISFA or the senior owner of the stadium goes through a bankruptcy 2. The contract itself has an allowance for a one-sided raise in rent (which is very, very unlikely) So, I wouldn't worry too much, unless someone buys it and then goes under. What's a "one-sided raise in rent"? And do you know who much the Sox currently pay?

Joe Cowley - According to a member of the organization, the Chairman did want to speak to Oz today. Whether or not it happened, we'll all find out soon.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 27, 2010 -> 03:16 PM) I don't understand what this means to the team or the fans. Can someone fill in the blanks? A new owner could require a lease extension before buying the facility to make sure they recoup their investment. The current lease expires in 2025. Or they could raise rent. (I dont know how much, if any, the Sox currently pay) Future improvements to the park could be hampered.

I dont feel good about tonight. We wont get beaten, but I dont think we will win. GB cant run, so if the Bears key on the pass, they may have a chance.

DailyHerald.com - I wasnt sure if I should Filibuster this or not, but since it involves the home field of the White Sox, this seemed like an ok place to put it.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 24, 2010 -> 10:19 AM) Its called parody. Also, you are aware he is there to talk about the jobs plan, because he participated in it, right? I'm not sure what you are asking here. You are asking a guy to participate "in character" about a somewhat serious topic. You cant a take a word that comes out of his mouth seriously. I watched about 3 minutes of it and it just was uncomfortable.
