Critics on Rotten Tomatoes are destroying the new Transformers movie.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 25, 2014 -> 11:51 PM) Rizzo is turning into a STUD. Like a 6 WAR player given his elite D, solid baserunning and excellent patience and hit tool. That said, I think WAR under rates guys that put up 40+ HR in a year as it frees up other spots in your lineup for guys like Conor Gillaspie where their on base skills get to shine. There is something to be said for getting a lot of your power from only a few positions (so you can priotirze other things like defense or OBP or baserunning) and Jose certainly is a huge precense in the middle the lineup. If you surround him with OBP guys you're gonna see a lot of RBI. Oh, Hahn's done just that with Conor and Eaton. Good job Hahn. but... but... I'm constantly told WAR is the ultimate stat to say who is good and who is bad.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 11:46 AM) Does anyone think that B&B has changed from criticizing Hawk to straight up on air bullying? I know Hawk has really lost a lot of zip on his fastball, and has a lot of faults, but the guy really cant say anything without those two turning it into a all day rip fest Bernsie... a bully? Say it aint so! That being said, Hawk has gotten very odd this year. I dont watch their game son TV anymore.

USA Advances to next round matrix:

If the Bulls go ANOTHER offseason where they targeted big players... and end up empty... heads need to roll.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 10:17 AM) I've been optimistic this whole time, but I'm starting to get a little worried.... I have had little reason for optimism. Lebron wont be coming here. Melo... i have high doubts. Love, no idea.

Where's Dan McNeil? He was out last week, and this week.

1 missed opportunity.... @WojYahooNBA Orlando is finalizing a trade to send guard Arron Afflalo to the Denver Nuggets, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 09:04 AM) I swear i heard on the radio yesterday that NBA contracts cannot be reworked like that per the current CBA. You get what you get, players and teams alike Correct. Unless the player has an opt-out, they can not rework contracts like in the NFL.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 08:59 AM) Suarez banned 9 international matches as well as 4 months. but.. but.. the whole thing was photoshopped!

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 25, 2014 -> 09:13 PM) Clearing space for Melo/LBJ....Man, I think Harden/Howard is a little more appealing than Rose/Noah...Would make Parson available though. man.... the Bulls are going to get screwed again.

The new TMNT trailer makes it look even worse than I already thought it was.

Had a job interview in Iowa City, IA last week. Guy told me he was down to 2 people (including me) for 1 position. He requested to be able to hire both of us, but that hadn't been approved yet. If he can't hire both, he told me there was another position being posted soon, and hinted I'd be the front runner for it (Assuming I applied, which I would) if he didn't pick me for the job I just interviewed for.

The Committed Indian and Bernsie are talking around off the ice issues with Sharp. What's up?

hmmm.... I guess it may be possible to have BOTH CarPlay and Android Auto in the same car: Car makers will offer Android Auto alongside CarPlay later this year

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 25, 2014 -> 01:45 PM) They'd have to create some kind of universal standard to sync data between the car and your phone (no, not Bluetooth), which I don't see happening. There's no incentive for Apple, Google, or Microsoft to do this. In many ways, it's not syncing. Google treats it as a second screen, in a sense. It takes the phones apps, and repackages them for a dashboard screen. It wouldnt be hard to make that kind of technology cross platform.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 25, 2014 -> 12:47 PM) Android Auto is very interesting. You tether your phone to the car and it basically mirrors your phone's features to your car. This way, you don't have to update the car's software, which makes a lot of sense. Most people won't get a new car every year or two. They get a new one every 10 years. THat being said, I want ALL devices to be be compatible with the in-car systems. I dont want a system that locks me into Android, or iOS, or WIndows Phone. I want a "dumb" system that allows me to connect my device. Mybe my wife has an iOS device, or my work phone is iOS, but my personal phone is Android.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 24, 2014 -> 02:06 PM) Simmons tweeted that a team of Rose-Afflalo-Melo-Gibson-Noah-Butler is possible. That'd be fun. @BillSimmons NBA peeps are worried about the Bulls right now. A starting 5 of Rose, Afflalo, Carmelo, Taj + Noah w/ Butler as 6th man is VERY doable. @BillSimmons FYI - Bulls could trade Boozer's expiring + 16 + 19 to Orlando for Afflalo and 2 waivable deals. Then use Mirotic to dump Snell/Dunleavy.

Teams eye LeBron, Melo pairing

‏@WojYahooNBA LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh still haven't had sit-down to discuss future together, league sources tell Yahoo. Coming soon.

QUOTE (TRU @ Jun 24, 2014 -> 09:28 AM) Oh man, If I was Houston I would throw everything I possibly could at LeBron. They would be set up better than when the Heat started and their window would be much longer. It would be the perfect fit for him if he wants to win more titles. Wade is toast, why the hell would he opt out? The Heat cant really improve that roster much than what they have. The only other thing I could see is a return to Cleveland to try and right the wrong he did 4 years ago. How would that work? Sign and trade with Lin/Asik going to Miami? They are expiring contracts.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 24, 2014 -> 09:24 AM) I'm beginning to think just focus on Love. Everything I read/hear about Melo, and what I've seen of him in the past, he just wants to be paid. He doesn't care about winning as much. I mean, isn't it a sign that the Bulls had to reach out to people that know him and have coached him to find out what kind of guy he is? For a superstar that's can't be a good sign. I think Melo and LeBron are just playing their teams. Melo for more $$$, LeBron for better surrounding talent. Love just wants out of the sinkhole that is Minnesota.

Bulls need to focus on Melo and Love. James is a pipe dream and a distraction.

@WojYahooNBA LeBron James will opt-out of deal, source confirms. He's determined to impose pressure on Miami to improve roster and spend, sources say.
