Two more things I thought of I don't like: Angelina Jolie's looks This season's premiere of Lost

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 09:03 PM) This isn't me trying to start an argument, but how can anybody like Barry Bonds? I'm legitimately curious as to the reasons, because I can't think of any. He was the most dominant player in any sport I've seen during my lifetime. Of course he was on steroids....but he still was a man amongst boys who also were taking PEDs. He's also the only player of the last 10 years that I'd go out of my way to watch bat when flipping channels.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 08:18 PM) Yeah I am admittedly very biased about the Bulldogs these days because a friend of mine starts for them, but they are just a fun team to watch and very good. Hayward's on his way to having a hell of a career for the Bulldogs.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 09:03 PM) Uh, months ago. Alot have said that Peavy will be the opening day starter for the Pads. The Padres GM changed it from being Peavy would be with this team on opening day to "Peavy will be with the team until Feb 1st".

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 09:04 PM) Yes, a good trade for them since they were going to have to put him on Waivers after ST since he had no spot on the major league team and their manager came out and said they were giving up on him. A box of balls would have been a good trade for them. True, but they traded for a pitcher that the Padres have already let be known they're interested in (as for why, I have no idea).

Rex Grossman Barry Bonds The Hills

Joe Crede appears to be close to signing with the Twins.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 05:49 PM) My point is, I DONT CARE ABOUT THE CUBS THAT MUCH. That is all. last year it was the same thing "Oh dear, the Cubs got Rich Harden, they are going to win the world series, oh me oh my" Who cares? Some of us do....I don't understand why people that don't care always have interject in Cubs threads just to say "who cares".

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 06:43 PM) yeah? so? Let me ask you this...do you really think the Cubs traded Pie for Olson cause they thought that was a fair trade?

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 12:45 PM) Must you mention this every time the Cubs are brought up? Because nearly every reputable baseball insider has stated that the deal wouldn't be completed until the ownership situation was resolved.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 06:38 AM) I'm really starting to dislike the NFL. There's just so much mediocrity in the league that it makes for a lot of games that are hard to watch. What makes it worse is that it's REALLY hard to ignore as a fan of other sports, the sports media bashes you over the head with NFL coverage ALL YEAR whether or not something interesting is happening. I really don't care who's griping about getting the franchise tag in March or who's holding out of training camp in July, why don't you cover a sport that's actually playing games? I know a lot of people follow the NFL, but it really gets ridiculous. I blame it on ESPN getting the rights to broadcast NFL games a few years ago. Ever since then, it's become the focal point of the network.

I hate the tall boots that girls wear.

Sadly, Ricketts family are diehard Cubs fans and told MLB they'd have a payroll around 175 million a year. Peavy probably should start packing his bags.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 04:32 AM) On more than one occasion my friends and I laughed out loud at how bad the acting was tonight. I was really disappointed tonight. Hurley's acting was beyond bad tonight. My wife tried to watch this show for the first time ever....and it's just way too confusing to explain to her.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 05:44 AM) He did play better then Hansbrough when they were on their visit. Which is why you should never judge players based on one viewing. And when Palmer visited he was a consensus top 50 recruit who then never developed after that point. Yep, I'm not saying they weren't right in their observation. I am grateful they banned those open houses, as they were creepy.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 03:32 AM) Interesting to see David Palmer lighting it up for Iowa tonight. I remember him being a verbal commit to Illinois way back during Bruce Weber's first year, then he had to go to prep school, then Seton Hall for a year, eventually had to transfer and use a redshirt year, and now he's at Iowa and had a big night tonight. And the Palmer story is that Illini fans thought he was better than Hansbrough when they played at an open gym on their visit to Illinois. Arizona just got absolutely f***ed by the refs in their state rivalry game against ASU. Down 2 with 10 seconds left, they called a moving pick. It's too bad that Horne didn't get the chance to cost them another game with a foul in a tie game.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 02:52 AM) NW almost beat MSU in Evanston a couple of weeks ago. They had a big lead in the 2nd half. I never thought they'd beat MSU at home though. What's up with MSU lately? They look unbeatable for 2 weeks and now this. The Big Ten race just got a lot more interesting. Raymar Morgan is disappearing again in Big 10 play, same thing he did last season. Chris Allen also gets less from his ability than any player in cbball.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 01:48 AM) Brad Ausmus burned the Padres to sign a $1 million deal with the Dodgers. Henry Blanco then signs a $750k contract with the Padres. We couldn't have done that? Is it remotely possible for us to sign I-Rod? He wasn't offered arbitration, but he wants to play more often. AJ could use some more rest and he is participating in the WBC. I'd love for the Sox to sign Pudge. I'm very upset about seeing Blanco sign for that cheap.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 04:13 AM) Also, I am AMAZED at how bad DePaul is. Jerry Wainwright is a horrid coach. Agreed...I talked to their top booster the other day, and he doesn't even know if JW will be fired. I recommended Chris Collins to him, and I told him that you better get a big time recruiter in there as Jerrance Howard is cleaning up in Chicago. Sadly, the booster didn't know who Howard was.

B.J. Mullens is going to go pro, no matter how he plays this year. Draftexpress mentioned that his family needs the money a few weeks back.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 20, 2009 -> 02:26 AM) Well, Bernstein is smarter than almost every single meatball caller that gets on the show. If fans weren't such idiots he wouldn't have to go off like he does. How many 'orton is god' and 'why doesn't lovie talk into the headset' calls does he have to take? Yep, B&B are way too smart for most of sports radio listeners.

Considering that the Cubs are being sold this week, and the recent news of Harden's shoulder injury....and Peavy will be a Cub within 10 days.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jan 18, 2009 -> 07:42 PM) Yup. I would not be surprised at all if the new owner pulls the trigger on this deal the day after the Cubs sale takes place... as a way to play up to the fans and make a PR splash. Good call....one of the possible owners has told MLB that the Cubs would have a payroll of 200 milliion per year if he's in charge.

This only means they'll get Peavy sooner, rather than later.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jan 18, 2009 -> 02:28 AM) ...and down goes pittsburgh. Wake Forest new number 1 or Duke?? It better be Wake
