QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 17, 2014 -> 11:22 AM) Does Chicago need a 3rd sports talk station? The other two are mostly bad enough. That was going to be my next post. 2 is more than enough. My only guess is that this is some kind of a long play (short term loss for long term gain). But I dont see a destination unless they plan on making a big play for play-by-play deals.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 17, 2014 -> 09:24 AM) So, enter Harry? That fat little dweeb hasn't had anything new or exciting to contribute in two decades other than drunken public appearances and DUIs. Yea, the hosting lineup doesnt mesh with their demographic. My thought it a lot of the hosts are place holders.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Feb 17, 2014 -> 09:26 AM) and McNeil has a horse-shoe fall out of his ass again. If memory serves me right, his contract is up soon, if WGN is serious about making a go at this I imagine they make a run at him. Intersting though, will be interesting to see who they make a run after, if they are really going after younger audience, if I were them Goff and Holmes would be the top of my list when their contracts allow. There is a lot of younger talent at The Score. Ben Finfer, Adam Hoge, Jay Zawaski, Matt Abbatacola... just to name a few. Holmes and Goff have a bright future at The Score, so they wont be jumping.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 17, 2014 -> 08:06 AM) It amuses me that another sports radio station started and Mike North wasn't able to land a job with them. they are aiming at young and hip, not old, meatball, and racist.

WGN Radio is launching a sports/talk station on FM.

Interesting... per the NBC commentators during the SUI vs CZE game... after the USA hockey team beat Russia, the score was oddly absent from the outdoor scoreboard on the area. (there are LED lights on the roof/side that can show the score of the game)

The USA speed skaters are blaming their new suits for their poor performance. Please.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Feb 13, 2014 -> 03:48 PM) Because the NHL shares most of its arenas with NBA teams and the NBA teams don't want the seats any further from the court than they already are. And existing stadiums would have to be retrofit for new ring sizes, and I m sure no one wants to foot the bill for that.

Why Hoth was denied a chance to host the Olympics...

Is anyone else using the NBC Sports Live Extra app on Android? I swear it's not showing all the live games. I can watch the USA Women's hockey game live on my iPad, but on Android it doesnt show an option. I've seen a similar issue when trying to find Curling matches. I did a little more looking around. It was listing the Women's hockey game as Tuesday night... even though it's live right now. And the USA Men's game as 6:30 PM on Wednesday, not 6:30am on Thursday. Everything looks just fine on my iPad. So weird.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 02:06 PM) If it weren't for blackout rules I would drop satellite and buy MLB.tv ($140), NBA League Pass Broadband ($65 for 5 teams) and NHL Gamecenter ($150). Combine those 3 with Hulu Plus and Netlix and you're looking at around $559/year. That's a lot better than the $1200 I pay a year for Dish Network. But alas, until they get rid of those ridiculous blackout rules that plan will never work. Same here. Al i want them to do is stream the local station... with commercials... and I'd pay for it in a heartbeat.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 10, 2014 -> 11:30 AM) I like watching Hansen's pre-luge dance. <script async src="//platform.vine.co/static/scripts/embed.js" charset="utf-8">

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 10, 2014 -> 10:51 AM) And again... hopefully they kick him off the team again like last time. I'm far from a Curling expert, I'm very novice, but even i can tell he's brutal.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 10, 2014 -> 10:36 AM) Shuster choked yet again that seems to be a pattern

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Feb 10, 2014 -> 06:59 AM) Horrendous game by the women's curling team. Men's team isnt exactly doing so hot either

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 9, 2014 -> 09:13 PM) Actually, those helmets are designed to crank. They said it on the broadcast. Makes sense, actually. A crack is really the force being dispersed.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 9, 2014 -> 04:04 PM) Paul Bettany will go from J.A.R.V.I.S. To Vision in Avengers:Age of Ultron Curious. Interesting possibilities.

I used to use the free version of LogMeIn. However, it is no longer free. I mainly used it to remotely access my Grandma's computer (Win XP) and occasionally my Mac at home. Does anyone know any free alternatives?

I'm just goign to post it... DOH!!!

Can we post Opening Ceremony "spoilers" here, or in the spoiler thread? Something awesome just happened.

Indian luger Shiva Keshavan crashes, then makes amazing recovery and finishes!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 7, 2014 -> 08:35 AM) Here's Bob Costas Saying "p**** Riot" Over And Over edit: of course the Soxtalk "bad words" filter screws up that link if Bob can say it on national TV, we can say it on SoxTalk. So says AtHomeBoy!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 7, 2014 -> 08:12 AM) Before these Olympics, did you ever expect to hear Bob Costas say "p**** Riot"? that was a highlight of my night.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Feb 6, 2014 -> 01:46 PM) I deleted half of my wife's 50+ episodes of SVU from the DVR in order to make room for curling. I'm sorry to hear about your impending divorce
