QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 10:36 AM) This was going to be my suggestion, just talk to each other and come up with a limit or ballpark. It could be weird but you'd rather do that then have someone show up with a $25 gift and someone show up with a $150 gift because it wasn't discussed beforehand. You can't go over by much if at all, or it's just terribly awkward for her, and she could actually get upset. You're not being a nicer guy by doing so. I'll probably talk to her about it ahead of time and gauge response. She said like, $50, but I ended up spending about $100.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 06:39 AM) It would depend on how much you went over by... I wouldn't get all crazy spending big cash right away. It sets a bad precedence. She will get to thinking you will always spend like that on her. It's not a crazy amount, but it is definitely over the "limit."

Is it a bad thing if she wants to limit the amount and you go over?

What's the reasonable Christmas gift dollar amount for a girl that you've been with for 4 months?

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Dec 10, 2012 -> 10:12 PM) For one, you said you're still mystified how McClellin was drafted at all, implying no team should've taken him. "At all" meant at all by the Bears.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Dec 10, 2012 -> 08:18 PM) Oh come on. Be real. He had like 25 TFL and 17 sacks the past 2 years at Boise State and ran the 2nd best 40 time at the combine of OLB/DE's. The Bears didn't need DE or a tweener. They needed OL help.

Gee... two TDs by Hernandez, one by Lloyd. Well, I'm boned.

I'm still mystified at McClellin being drafted - at all.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Dec 10, 2012 -> 02:09 AM) Its tough to play Wilson, although Felix with Murray back isnt favorable either. Lets hope that Hernandez doesnt play tomorrow. Thatd be amazing. If I win, I'm in the Playoffs. If I lose, I'm in the Consolation bracket.

Dad was a Sox fan because Grandpa was. He grew up with the '59 team. We used to watch games on TV at home when we could get the station to come in on the antenna - otherwise it was the radio. I went to my first game at 9 because it was a Saturday night church bus trip - the pastor got doused in beer while in the Upper Deck of Old Comiskey. I got hooked the next year at 10 because it was during the September pennant race of 1983 and they won the game dramatically. Harold Baines was my favorite player because he won that game. When he got traded to Texas in '89, I became a Fisk fan. Now, I take my dad to games instead of when he used to take me. Some day, I hope to take my future kid - whenever that day comes.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 10, 2012 -> 02:05 AM) You guys are in some high scoring leagues. Are those PPR? We have larger active rosters in ours.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Dec 9, 2012 -> 08:05 PM) Gonna be intense David Wilson and Philip Rivers on the bench in favor of Felix Jones and Jay Cutler. So... I've got Andre Johnson versus Aaron Hernandez and Brandon Lloyd tomorrow. I'm losing 136.24 to 136.52.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 9, 2012 -> 07:20 PM) I'd be interested in why people didnt like Casino Royale, cuz I thought it was great. Watching serious foreign villains in Monte Carlo playing Texas Hold 'Em is so cheesy.

Can Podlesh kick field goals?

QUOTE (Benchwarmerjim @ Dec 6, 2012 -> 06:27 PM) I love the Revere trade. He is basically Juan Pierre with less power, You can hit negative home runs?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Dec 6, 2012 -> 12:27 AM) Just got around to watching Bourne Legacy... most of the critics might not agree with me but I loved every single second of this movie. The cabin scene was intense.

What's Dorsey Levens up to these days?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 4, 2012 -> 06:54 PM) So the New Orleans Hornets will now be the New Orleans Pelicans. Um, what? The SBNation article has a creepy pelican video attached.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Dec 4, 2012 -> 03:48 PM) That might qualify as one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. keep reading; I'm sure you'll find more things.

Forget the games; just communicate with each other. You're not mind-readers.
