QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 9, 2014 -> 10:22 AM) Lose...hopefully. I'm assuming the game is in Lincolnshire, right?

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 9, 2014 -> 07:41 AM) Stevenson vs New Trier next week. It's on like Donkey Kong. I got Stevenson big. Ick. Definitely underdogs. Let's see what these sophs can do.

It would not matter if it somehow turned out there actually is a Minneapolis gang that points at people as some sort of gang sign, though it sounds totally ridiculous. To try to turn the mayor pointing at someone into this is just mind-bogglingly mad.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 09:40 PM) The weirdest/worst part is how quick some police jumped on board with the story Yes, it's disgusting. There's already enough tension between North Minneapolis and the cops. You think this is really helping? I'm surprised at how angry I am about this, but this really, really bothers me.

Wow. I can't imagine how the Minneapolis cops and the local ABC affiliate could have screwed this up more. Mayor points at black man, news station thinks she's flashing gang signs with a felon What f***ing idiots.

How does FanDuel work? I just keep seeing those commercials but don't really get what it is.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 09:45 AM) My votes, since people are throwing them out there. Not listing the offices where people were unopposed (like Biss, my state senator, and that loser Berrios for Assessor)... Governor: Rauner ® Attorney General: Madigan (D) Secretary of State: Webster ® Comptroller: Simon (D) Treasurer: Cross ® US Senate: Durbin (D) US House: Schakowsky (D) State House: Myalls ® *Vote all GREEN PARTY on Water District slots (G) 12th Judicial Subcircuit: Kaplan (D) All judges on retention OK I'll say again too, those last three lines, those should not be elected offices anyway. So that's 4 R, 5 D, and 1x3 G for me. That's actually more Dems than I thought I'd end up with. Daniel Biss is the man. I expect him to take the leap to Congress soon. Though living in Schakowsky's district makes that difficult. And SS, why the Cuomo hate? Serious question. Haven't really heard much about him but I thought he was a generally well-liked guy.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 07:21 PM) That's more on the players/coaching staff then the administration. Anything the administration does is a result of their actions/performance. I wonder if Groce gets called if Crean is let go, I imagine he would be. I just mean that we've all seen athletic departments bungle all sorts of stuff. Given how recently the program was gutted by the Sampson fiasco, it would be a really poor time for the athletic department to make a bad situation worse. And I have zero idea who the next coach would be. But I don't see Crean getting fired immediately, just that it makes it even more likely he's gone after the year -- especially if there isn't market improvement on the court.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 06:55 PM) Overwhelmingly ive seen fans agree with him at least on social media. They think IU ball is sacred and the players aren't acting that way. However the school handles all of this, it better be very careful of not bringing the program back to its knees like the post-Sampson cleanup. I in no way mean that the players should get off easy or anything, just that the administration should be very cognizant of not wanting to start all the way back at square zero.

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 04:40 PM) As you and Jason both say, I think I will list it out. It would be a great opportunity for get back into a job market that I enjoy, and I really don't want to mess up my chances by lying if they do see it on my background check. I just really with the word "ever" wasn't on there, it would make this a more simple decision. Also check back to see how your DWI matter was resolved. Sometimes that stuff doesn't end with a technical "conviction" so by the letter of the question you'd be OK leaving it off. But if you plead out it most likely was a conviction.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 04:00 PM) Here is just some of it http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/colle...ntrol/18414479/ And apparently Troy Williams and Stanford Robinson are being suspended for failed drug tests. So much fun, and the season hasn't even started yet.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 07:58 AM) They beat another public league team in the 1st round. I wouldn't consider them a threat but don't know about them. Yeah I saw they beat Taft 46-6, but that doesn't really tell me anything. Loyola-Stevenson should be a good matchup. Didn't matter who the winner of that Loyola-Warren matchup was, the resulting game with Stevenson was gonna be good.

How's Curie supposed to be?

Fire in Prospect Heights/Arlington Heights this morning. The 14 year old son is still missing. Just awful.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 01:04 PM) Who's your QB then? Jordan Lynch would make a comeback.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 08:53 PM) Depends on his defensive maturation. So my guess would be nope. There were actually a couple of times he surprised me and did some good things on the defensive end. Granted, there were more times when he wasn't good on the defensive end, but still.

I heart the quick trigger of Dougie McBuckets. Something you haven't seen much here recently.

Homeland:

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 26, 2014 -> 09:24 PM) Boardwalk, sad to see you go. Like Deadwood I feel like it's too early. Decent finale. Tied everything up. Nothing earth-shattering, since the Tommy Darmody thing was guessed by a lot of people. It would have been shocking for Nucky to leave the finale breathing, so that wasn't surprising.

Just awful.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 24, 2014 -> 09:06 AM) I was at that show. A little known three piece band named Muse opened up. To be completely honest, I was ready to leave when the Chili Peppers took the stage, Foo Fighters blew them away The fact that Cheap Trick and Naked Raygun are opening up at Wrigley is tremendous, That show is going to be awesome. I watched "Foo Fighters Sonic Highways" the other day and it was really awesome, i loved the respect towards those bands, Steve Albini, and Chicago That episode was great, loved the things you mentioned plus all the blues stuff. The DC episode from last night is sitting on my DVR. Also, a Foos show with Naked Raygun and Cheap Trick? That's awesome.

Not sure of the last time New Trier finished 8-1. Might have been when Lottich was QB.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 25, 2014 -> 12:20 AM) Frank Caliendo does another perfect impression.... http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=11754270&...=sportscenterFB That was great.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 09:16 PM) Club Championship starts tomorrow! Go get 'em.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 09:01 PM) He really makes me respect the job Mike Periera does on FOX Seriously. I was iffy on Pereira, but I liked him a lot more after watching Carey a few times. And Gerry Austin seems to sometimes suffer from Lou Holtz syndrome -- how is he paid to talk on TV?
