There is no need to select something other than what you see below. Choose wisely. Quick aside. I am STILL annoyed that the NHL switched to colors at home. I still think of the white jersey as the home sweater. Buy 'em before sensitive people make us the Chicago Fightin' Chicagoans!

I think the shortened season should make this kind of streak more unlikely. The lack of preparation for the season should have made for more inconsistent play.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 07:43 PM) Any reason as to why he is sitting as to this point? IMO (which is based on second hand medical info), he is still in the window of "I'm taking my time because I don't want to come back out of playing shape and develop new injuries because I pushed it." However, I don't think that window extends another month into the season.

The only thing I would trust is the BodyMedia line of products, and that's a fairly big investment when estimating will probably serve you just as well.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 07:36 PM) She is so nasty. She just reeks of arrogance, I refuse to listen to her. I played Chris Rock's Oscar Monologue on my TV while she sang last night.

It's completely deliberate on Derrick's part. I correspond with his college trainer and he said if he was at Memphis, he'd have been playing for at least a month. I don't mind him taking time, but he has no business taking the whole season off.

I can never decide if I should be pleased that Gordon is working on things or be afraid that he will fall into a never-ending cycle of tweak-induced slumps.

Also, I actually think much of the recent slide can be attributed to the loss of Hinrich. I love me some Nate Robinson, but there is a serious limit to how much that dude can play. He has to be employed selectively and without Kirk, he is applied indiscriminately and there is no hope that he can play an entire game and not f*** everything up. Kirk is a very flawed player, but he brings a steady hand to the offense and helps us at least rely on our most talented players to win and play a relatively smart game like the one we gameplan for. Nate can score some points and has won some games for us with his offense, but he just can't consistently get an offense to run and causes us to play a 4 man defense sans the occasional fast break blocked shot.

Only two guys in double figures and they both chucked 14 shots apiece to get there. Glad I didn't bother watching that one. An offensive game like that would make the Fighting Illini blush.

It will take time to see if Hahn loves this type of hitter or if he's just adding this kind of hitter because the team lacks them.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Feb 24, 2013 -> 12:01 AM) Jared Allen got blanked by Webb in 2 games this past year. Matthews has beat him but once again he received no help. Of course, but most Bear fans don't notice that. You never notice that linemen are doing their job.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 22, 2013 -> 02:34 PM) I've been saying for a couple years now that the Saints know how to make their guys look better. They give help on the corners, they are strong inside, their QB gets rid of the ball quickly, they run plays to keep the D-Line honest. They did everything they could to make a guy like Bushrod look good. The Bears didn't do any of that last year...Webb had some bad games, like when the Bears said he was matched up 1 on 1 against Clay Matthews, but he also had games where guys like Jared Allen shut down. He's sorta done what you'd expect so far, he's a 7th round pick thrust into a starting role. Started off terrible, has gradually moved up close to average. But...since he was terrible for 1+ years, most Bears fans still dislike him and he gets a ton of focus for the troubles of the rest of the O-line. On top of that, the Bears did everything they could to make him look bad...the LG next to him was cut in camp and replaced with a castaway (Rachal), and then the amount of help they gave him was ridiculously low. He's not going to wind up in the HOF, but he's exceptionally cheap next year, and the Bears might have bigger needs elsewhere on the O-line. I wouldn't be stunned or angry if Management dropped him into a swing tackle role, but I also won't be surprised if he's the starting LT next year. Yep. His reputation is mainly based on Aldon Smith and Jared Allen, guys he received no help against (Carimi too)

Does anyone actually like Windows 8? It's an interesting concept and I think they're basically going in the direction that computing is heading, but the mobile-ish interface has got to get frustrating for certain tasks.

Django was the best, followed by Silver Linings. It seems Argo has the momentum and Lincoln's hype has died down. I was not fond of Zero Dark Thirty, at least as Best Picture material.

It seems that this knocks Morel out of the picture, but Hahn wants us to believe that he'd be willing to DFA Gillaspie if Morel looks enough better in ST. I don't see how you could have both on the roster though, we have to have somebody that can play SS. Maybe Morel can survive at 2B, but not having a real utility guy hamstrings your ability to give guys a day off or make late game substitutions.

I am all about responsibility, but let's keep in mind one party is continually held responsible for the mistakes of two. One of the benefits of civilized society should be that you should be able to have sex as you please, provided the person(s) you do it with are consenting to it. No one likes to have abortions, even if it's "just a pill," so it isn't like people will intentionally shirk responsibility. s*** happens. And no...the right to guns is nothing like the right to have sex and control what comes in and out of your vagina.

QUOTE (TomSeaverFan @ Feb 21, 2013 -> 07:34 PM) I have $1,117 dollars in my wallet right now. Does that make me certifiably insane? Being poor as a kid I've always wanted to carry a lot of cash around as an adult. I'm far from rich but I think I have some sort of mental illness that requires me carrying around a lot of cash. I wonder if there is a name for people like me. I call you "target 1"

I would not amnesty Boozer. You don't get enough room under the cap to do anything big. You amnesty Boozer as Deng's contract expires after next season.

All the thought towards the composition of the Bulls right now is based on one playoff series. Let's let it play out a bit. With our salary situation, it really doesn't make sense to try much of anything drastic until after next season anyway. Come onnnn D Rose

LOL Hansen. What a dumbass. I hope they throw the book at him, Torres-style

Ever since jailbreaking my iPhone 4, it has been hopelessly slow. Suggestions as to what sorts of things to remove to speed it back up?
