QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 5, 2013 -> 10:29 PM) How is there not a camera on the other side of the field? Not real good replay looks at all.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 5, 2013 -> 07:11 PM) The day I have my first child will not be as happy as tonight. Derrick Rose is back, he's inviting contact, and I am finally, finally f***ing at peace. Welcome back, Derrick. Bulls will be champs this year. Book it. Nice to see him return.

Hawks lose in shootout 3-2. Hawks had 2-0 in 3rd period. Crawford soft goals again. TB only had 14 shots thru 3 periods still not enough to win.

Season finale of Hell on Wheels tonight.

Nice report good read.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Oct 5, 2013 -> 05:45 PM) The Sox recent track record scouting hitters leaves me to believe that whatever their sealed bid is it will be way off. Sounds like a lot of teams are being aggressive will be interesting to see who walks the walk.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 5, 2013 -> 01:56 PM) Reality check for Illinois. I'm not a Tim Banks fan but there is absolutely no talent on this defense and Scheelhaase is who we thought he is. Bad arm, not accurate and can't deal with pressure. I can't wait for Lunt next year. What was the excuse last year he took a top 20 defense and neutered it? Banks has not made 1 defensive adjustment at half in a year and a half. 40 plus pts and 500 plus yards against are the norm since the day he walked in. Bearcat fans felt the same way about him. I grow tired of the excuses made for Banks. The defense is 100% reactive wait to see where the run or pass is going, and then get to the ball late. Can anyone remember an opposing QB having to take a timeout because the D look had him confused? I don't even recall seeing any audibles having to be called. http://www.downthedrive.com/20...be-fired-for-it

Nice to see Tim Banks led Defensive scheme give up 500 plus yards again in a Big Ten game. Fire him 2 weeks till next game.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Oct 4, 2013 -> 03:06 PM) Don't like that KW will be so instrumental to judging Abreu's talents for the org., and it's downright scary considering his recent draft busts, and specifically their common flaws. Don't want to be too paranoid, but the message to the media that KW is so involved in a potential foundation acquisition is, possibly, another example, of JR trying too hard to keep everyone happy, and as a result, the current GM is moderately undermined by legacy FO personnel, and doesn't have the authority he needs and should have. We saw it with Ozzie/Kenny, we're seeing a different version of it now, maybe. I hope not. Would love new ownership. Realistically, what are we looking at 2018-2020? Was glad to hear the son has no baseball interest - need new blood all around. KW being involved should scare everyone. I wish he would just move on.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 4, 2013 -> 01:26 PM) I'd love to play in leagues with people like you. I'd love to play a lineup against people like you using Blackmon especially in a money league.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 4, 2013 -> 07:30 AM) He is owned in every league I play in. Despite you clearly not being able to see it, there is a difference in being a weekly starter and being un-ownable as you previously suggested. He is a strong WR3 and one with high upside in PPR leagues. I still prefer Shorts to Blackmon, but he should be owned in all but the shallowest of leagues That is your opinion just like mine is he is cannon fodder.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 3, 2013 -> 10:03 PM) Iowa State got hosed Texas got a X-mas gift.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 3, 2013 -> 09:49 AM) Uh...no, lol I'd go with Gates this week too, but Blackmon is definitely one to keep an eye on. He was top 10 among fantasy receivers in PPG the second half of last season. Like Shorts, he will get a lot of looks, especially since the Jags will be losing and be in garbage time frequently You go get him and play him every week. He is unowned in half the leagues I play in. He is bye week filler only.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 09:50 AM) You can't deny someone arbitration. Correct but Sox can deny to pay the figure.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 03:11 PM) Antonio Gates or Justin Blackmon for flex? Gates ....................Blackman does not even deserve a roster spot.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 1, 2013 -> 10:39 PM) Most of the Xbox 360 users can, almost none of the PS3 users can. Have Xbox 360 and no dice for my son.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 09:38 AM) Out-of-pocket costs wouldn't change if it was the same plan? Her deductible and out of pocket went up 4000% for same coverage under Obamacare.

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 09:21 AM) Where was she getting major medical insurance for $75? Blue Cross for her has been $75.00 a month for the last year.

You do not retool a 99 loss team you rebuild.

My friend paid $75.00 a month for healthcare same policy under Obamacare is $184.00 a month. She is single and her out of pocket pocket cost will go up 4000%. This is not what I call affordable healthcare. Obama lied his ass off.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Oct 1, 2013 -> 04:25 PM) Not enough times to be a bad baserunner. He's not awesome, but if he's so replaceable, why is he our second best overall contributor on the position side? This team has several other players that need to be replaced first. When he gets denied arbitration this will show Sox do not value him either.

Congress still gets paid which Is 100% BS!

Nice win against the best Power Play in the NHL in Washington................Hawks 6-4

Dam how many PP chances are refs going to give Washington.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 05:48 PM) Man that was a quick offseason. Guess that's what happens when you play for a few extra months. Hard to believe Hockey is back already.
