QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jan 23, 2013 -> 11:31 AM) DirectTV is giving everyone a free week of league pass, who have been the fun teams to watch this year?? Kevin Love still hurt?? Houston has been pretty entertaining. GS when Curry is healthy. Other than that, it's pretty obvious: Miami: Peak LeBron, 'nuff said. OKC: How do you trade Harden and somehow get better? Clippers: Paul Lakers: just for comedy, I guess.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 18, 2013 -> 05:45 PM) I could buy this if this was 1999. But to have a 4 year relationship and not get a real time pic, webcam, face time,skype,etc isnt being naive or dumb. If and when Te'o speaks, the media better ask him about how he never sought different ways to actually see her through those avenues. indeed. I got duped back in 2000. talkin' to this girl on-line who had a SEXY ass voice and said people said she looked like pochahantas or however you spell it. And I believed her. Talked to her for like 4 months. never got a pic from her. but i never suspected she was lying. we finally set up a meeting and god f***ing damn. b**** looked like urcala the seawitch from littler mermaid. i ain't never been right since. but at that point, it was either webcam or i ain't talkin' to you.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 18, 2013 -> 02:00 PM) When did they acquire Jason Kidd? Kidd was a better rebounder/defender. But Paul is just flawless. What's his weakness? I can't think of one.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 18, 2013 -> 01:34 PM) Think of it as they are doing Gentry a favor. He doesn't have to run practices or sit through Suns games anymore, and he's still collecting his check. The most amazing thing in the NBA is the Clippers. Can a team owned by Donald Sterling and coached by Vinny Del Negro actually compete for a title? Credit David Stern. He's the reason they were able to acquire the best PG the game has seen since Magic.

QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 11, 2013 -> 02:22 PM) You are a condescending know-it-all. This thread is worse than the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie with sissy Trey Songz. But I have to stick up for kyyle. While they're definitely some power-happy mods around these parts, he's not one of them.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 25, 2012 -> 08:49 PM) He's still not good offensively, but he's at least acceptable now. I thought he was a scrub who simply took up space and could block a shot here and there for 12 minutes before he inevitably succumbed to excessive sweat and fatigue. Dude is a legit starting C.

Man, I was totally wrong about Asik.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 24, 2012 -> 02:27 AM) When I almost offed myself last year it was because I felt like I was a useless burden to everyone. Fortunately, I was able to hang in the balance long enough for my friends to help me. It wasn't because I was selfish and just wanted to end it. I didn't. I thought it was what was best for everyone else. Brother quinarvy. Next time you get that feeling, just think of me. If you go, I go.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 22, 2012 -> 01:04 PM) Of course, if somehow the Pittsburgh pitching coach could get him to consistently throw strikes, he could have an ERA under 2. lol. this is a greg-like ridiculous statement. That's like me saying if a defensive guru coach such as Tom Thibodeau could get his mitts on Carlos Boozer he could become an elite defender. Oh wait!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 04:48 PM) If Rose could come back and play at 75%, they'd be in pretty decent shape, especially since Rip actually looked pretty decent. Bellinelli was a nice pickup. Decent shape to do what? Beat the Hawks? They still can't see the Heat and probably the Knicks. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 16, 2012 -> 04:52 PM) Glad I held that beautiful little Spaniard in fantasyland. He's so fun to watch. That makes NBA League Pass double entertaining. lol. Would you stop acting like your R.C. Buford in that pathetic joke of a league you and all your friends inhabit.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 15, 2012 -> 02:44 PM) Rather than ask for you to be banned, I'll say, gee thanks for the intelligent response. I had a scholarship to Northwestern offered to me. I was accepted to two Ivy League schools. Yes I am really a stupid person. I said I might have not explained my position well enough, but rather than discuss it, you go into bombadeer Greg mode. Nice. Thanks. I don't even remember what I said on the Holmes case. This case, I'm trying to point out that those who believe there is a God believe there is justice not only on earth but in the afterlife. If more people feared that, we might be better off. I can't respond to anybody because nobody said what they didn't like about my post, just that I am a dumbs***. I am not dumb. My test scores were off the charts and I was worthy of Northwestern. lol. gmab, greg. You remember what you said. you essentially called everybody in that theater that didn't die a coward because nobody took it upon themselves to stop holmes. and that was f***ing pathetic. don't make me google. and you also called out the cops for not shooting holmes after he had already surrendered. the god crap you're talking about in this case gives reason for sqwert to question your intelligence.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Dec 15, 2012 -> 12:03 PM) Nice. Isn't personally insulting a fellow poster sort of against Soxtalk policies? lol. greg deserved that one. I know he means well. But some of the crap he says when one of these things happens is mind-boggling. This is worse than when he said somebody in the movie theater should've rose up and stopped james holmes. Glock, rifle and shotgun be damned.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 10:33 PM) You sound like those University of Kansas basketball fans who only remember negative things about the former players. Not trying to jump on you; it just reminded me of the Kansas fans who always remember the failures. You do the same thing for Sox players that weren't on the '05 or '08 teams.

This is awful beyond description. But so was Columbine. So was Virginia Tech. So was Aurora Colorado. So are any of these high profile rampages that take place. This has become normal now. But the non-high profile tragedies are JUST as bad. I get so sick of media-frenzied debacles being prioritized over boring street crime. s***, the thing that happened on the subway in Philly was just as senseless as what happened today. Just because the media didn't go apes*** over it doesn't make it any less horrible. Just because Obama didn't call for action (he gave almost word for word the same boring ass speech he gave after the movie tragedy) doesn't make it less important. This is the world we live in today and there ain't s*** anybody can do about it. I've accepted it. Others should as well.

Felix, I ask you this because you're the only one here qualified, is Love's hand f***ing his shooting up that much? Do they just have to ride it out? Is it a long-term thing they'll have to deal with? Every time I look up he's shooting 3/17 or 4/20. I know it's really not him. His rebounding is just fine.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 09:17 PM) Bulls never had a chance to trade Deng for Melo. The trade before them was Deng/Noah + other pieces for Melo. At the time there was no need to blow the Bulls up, we were in the midst of a marvelous season. We were beating every top tier team before us, had the best record in the league and the MVP. Hopes were high. It's easy to say in retrospect that we should have blown it up for Melo but hindsight is 20/20 And I still think Deng/Noah + other pieces is too much to pay for Melo. Never said anything about a trade. There were multiple posters that said they fancy Deng over Melo because Deng is a team player or some dumb s*** that I can't remember. I might google later.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 08:56 PM) Are LAA team to beat in AL, favorite, on paper anyway? Not sure they're done yet. They need another SP and have assets to acquire that. Pujols is key (i know. obvious). The last two years have easily been the worst of his career (they'd be outstanding numbers for 85% of the league). If he continues to trend downward and Hamilton can't give you at least 140 games, then they'll still be very good, just not great. If Pujols goes '10 on us, hamilton play 140+ games and Mike Trout continues to be the best player in baseball, it's a wrap for that division.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 08:58 PM) The Knicks will regress back to the mean and big time. And agreed that dantoni is a joke. Really? Going back to last year, the Knicks are 34-11 (35-11 after they finish off the lakers tonight) since Woodson took over. Carmelo is playing MVP ball (who were the saps that said they'd deng over melo last year? lol). They're fairly deep and Amare hasn't seen the court yet. That's really the only question mark. Can they fit Amare back in without disrupting the chemistry/flow/whatever.

Never thought we would see super teams in baseball. And the days of excessively riding yankees/red sox when it comes to financial power are over. LA > anyone money wise.

lol@the lakers. Not even sure if they're a playoff team right now. The Knicks are f***ing good, though. Not sure what their record is since Woodson took over, but I know it's in the .700 range. If Amare can come back and not f*** s*** up, you have your only legitimate challenger to the Heat in this embarrassment of an eastern conference.

The Bulls acquiring a superstar without drafting one? And I suppose 2k5 is going to retire from soxtalk once his post count hits 99,999?

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 7, 2012 -> 08:39 PM) Like I said, his stats say he's a nice young player that hasnt made an adjustment in 5 years. That's about it. I'm all in favor of a shakeup or a major trade but I hope it's for a more badass player. We need a #3 impact bat. Well, Miggy, Trout and Posey aren't available. So I have no problem settling for Upton. This is Chicago. The smallest "large" market in the country when it comes to sports. Upton would be an amazing get.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 7, 2012 -> 08:01 PM) This isn't directed at you, but what makes Upton THAT great? The youth and room to grow that comes with it? I can understand that but right now he is far from superstar material. Based on his stats he seems like a really nice player, but worth selling a bunch of pieces for? We have some good major league outfielders and some really good minor league ones. If we are putting together a stellar package, why is Upton the best target? What kinda s*** is this? Justin Upton is barely 25 and done things none our current outfielders or garbage minor league outfielders have done and can never dream of doing. Like Cali said, you can get Justin Upton without giving up Sale, you do that s***.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 7, 2012 -> 12:47 AM) If it makes anyone feel good by comparison...I have literally watched less than 1 minute of nba action this year: including all teams. I have no reason to watch that sport right now. I will watch 48 minutes the day th Bulls have #1 in the starting lineup. Until that day, this sport is effectively hockey to me So if you want to call anyone a bad fan, call me it. I seriously don't care one bit. Not at all. Heat/Thunder is a foregone conclusion. Even with Rose back, the Bulls can never see the Heat unless LeBron dies.

lol@the last three pages of this thread. This is where we need qwerty to step up and school everyone just a little bit.
