Yeah, Federer really let that one go... He might not have many chances left.

If the illini can win next week they might have a legit shot to play in a bowl game. Would be nice after a few dissapointing seasons since their rose bowl appearance.

Has been a real crazy us open so far with all the rain, 2 americans made the quarters so that's something. All top 4 seeds made semifinals though, seems like the gap after Murray is pretty big. Hoping Murray or nadal win this one.

QUOTE (Papa Tru @ Sep 8, 2011 -> 03:38 AM) Not really, hes more concerned about things other than football.. that's what got him cut.. Bears fans shouldn't think they just got some stud at no cost here, there's a reason he was cut and not claimed by anyone till Chicago.. You do realize once he was cut he became a f/a, that might be a reason nobody claimed him

QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 6, 2011 -> 11:10 PM) I've guessed that Texas winds up independent to be honest. They can certainly pull it off. I wonder how the BCS restructures itself with one less conference. They would need someone to take their other sports, id say f*** you if it didn't include football

Bears rotate players a bunch at WR, starting means very little.

I would be embarrassed being part of that defensive unit, they just cost their team any hope of a BCS game.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 06:58 PM) Ok, so I'm trying to put my (roughly 15 lb) dart board on the wall. My apartment's walls are all drywall. Screws don't like going on drywall. I've tried command hooks, I've tried those little thingies you hammer into the wall and then put the screw into that, but NO! Nothing works! WHAT DO I DO?! Buy a lighter dart board

Yeah Briggs can go f*** himself, he has 3 more years and we have no reason to give him more money. After 2 more years if he still playing at an elite level I give him an extension.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 01:12 AM) Hell I don't care. He's being honest. Its not what I would have told the media but he's not putting pressure on them atleast. I want him gone but this is a non-issue to me. Same, I'm ready for the Ozzie era to end, but this is a non-issue to me, people making a big deal about nothing. Whether you want him gone or prefer he stay it's getting annoying everyone makes such big issues over every litthle thing he does that don't matter.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 08:36 PM) Craig Steltz and Khalil Bell hurt tonight. I hope that the Bears can look for another free agent DB to give them more depth around final cuts time. Steltz would probably only play if 2 of our safeties went down anyways, he is more of a loss on special teams.

Why would anyone think making a sequel to ghost rider was a good idea?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 06:53 PM) 3 players from OSU were suspended today for taking home a gift bag from a breast cancer awareness event containing a mouse pad, tshirt and other small items that were given to all attendees. Well this Wisconsin game looks like it could be very 1 sided and boring.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 01:56 PM) Well Im not going to get into extreme speculation that involves absolutely no evidence (money exchanges hands like that at every university) which is why I stated "pay college athletes" because that would make it legal and then we wouldnt have to worry about nonsensical investigations about how college kids were interested in free things. The second part, well its unfair that team decided to break the rules to get an advantage over the rest of the conference. As for the players, they can transfer (which many do). There have to be some penalties for breaking the rules and the NCAA just doesnt do enough. When a team is punished in this matter the players should be able to transfer without the year penalty, if that was the case I'd be 100% behind it.

Doyle and phegley seem like waste of roster space to me.

Our run defense seemingly stops it for a loss or gives up a good chunk of yards

I think if Wsox were to bring in an OF assuming Pierre is gone and Quentin is traded someone cheap like Delmon Young/Willingham/Dejesus. If Beckham doesnt retool his swing I actually would be ok with Lillibridge being the starting 2B and Escobar could be the super utility role, should provide above avg. defense at very least.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 19, 2011 -> 06:47 PM) Ha. I guess CSI and Law & Order are the only shows some people watch because of the realism. I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic about CSI/Law&Order because they aren't even close to being realistic and it could be that Wilfred definitely crosses into the line of stupidity. I'm not going to say the show itself is terrible, just nothing special.

Wasn't Dave Wilder supposedly a hot commodity too, It just seems whoever is 2nd in command for the Wsox is next in line to get a gm job somewhere.

After Crain loaded the bases I was getting ready to bash Ozzie for leaving him in too long but it worked out. We definitely should have scored off Durbin his first inning he was out there, real frustrating, but I'll take any win.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 07:44 PM) Jonathan Vilma just donated 450K to the school like 2 weeks ago. If the school had any balls, they'd call his ass up and tell him to come pick up his check. Why?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 09:00 AM) I'm an Illinois fan (and don't really care for Indiana) so i'm probably biased in the other direction. I think both sides were clearly unprofessional, but I think the radio guys had a point that look, you need as much good press as you can get since you need to bring your program up. So why come out swinging? Did it go over board? Eh. Indiana has been terrible for decades. But why would that surprise this coach? They weren't attacking the current team. They weren't attacking him personally. They were making fun of the program. You shouldn't be treated like royalty if you've never had much success. End of the day this is nothing but positive for IU though. IU fans should love that their coach doesn't take s*** from dumb radio hosts. You can be harsh on the program and whatnot but you don't invite someone on a show for the sole purpose of attacking him. I'm not saying be a puppet like Hawk Harrelson would be but have some respect for a person taking time out of his day to do an interview for your show.

Not sure how many people watched it here but Stargate Universe was a pretty good show and got the axe a few months back.

There was a show on Fox that lasted only 2 episodes that looked really interesting, was about a conman who had 2 families.... forgot the name of it.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 11:14 AM) This season of True Blood is rivaling Season 1 in terms of greatness IMO. Really? I think a couple episodes have been ok but for most part they have been terrible. I really miss old Eric too.
