QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 10:18 PM) You have to imagine there's some unspoken agreement that if Obama wont talk about Mass. too much Romney wont talk about Chicago. I've been wondering the same thing from both of them. Chicago's an embarrassment to the western world right now and Romney just lets it slide. Care to explain? I'm not from there so I'm not sure what you're referring to. The violence?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 10:02 PM) Disagree, Obama saying it could be written off as "he said, she said, who knows!" while the moderator stating that you are factually incorrect is more persuasive so long as the moderator is perceived as fair. I suppose the question is whether people are listening to the moderator that closely

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 08:43 PM) Obama makes a statement that Romney wont tell anyone his plan, that his math doesnt add up. Romney gets up and says, yeah it adds up, but you have a deficit. And thats it. Zero plan. What is your plan dude, what IS IT???? Conservative fiscal policy would interest me, but I see no evidence that it is anything other than pure BS that will f*** the budget, benefits, and the non-upper middle class QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:21 PM) Romney on guns: we need two-parent families! lol, he did this because he is really close to the President on this issue but still wanted to appeal to his base QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:22 PM) she correctly pointed out that one of the debaters was unequivocally wrong with his charge. the moderator should try to keep debaters from lying and thus straying off of the topic -- when the moderator calls you out, it is very gentle and doesn't score political points the way it does when your competitor does QUOTE (mr_genius @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:30 PM) no one believes Romney when he says he's against outsourcing. it's a losing issue for him. loyal voters will believe it QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:36 PM) 99.99% of Americans care that Bin Laden was killed under his watch and could care less about embassy security. It's a dead end issue so I'm not sure why the conservatives keep talking about it. It's not resonating with anyone. There are a good deal of people that won't believe he's done anything right. In general, being critical will raise doubts in people's minds about the candidate even if they don't believe the specific issue is worthy of critcism QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:40 PM) I'm glad we had a debate just to see what was on the mind of Jews. That was a farce. lol QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 16, 2012 -> 09:42 PM) Wow Obamas final answer was a complete dick move, really didnt answer and just railed Romney. lol it was awesome

I think we can all accept that a disproportionate amount of racists identify as Republicans. It can be funny to see them flaunting their stuff, for sure. I don't find any back and forth beyond that to be constructive

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 08:05 PM) I just want to let you guys know that i have flip-flopped and will probably vote for Obama. racist

I would like to make a living on this site

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Oct 14, 2012 -> 12:29 AM) I like how Jeter is literally writing in pain on the ground and the TBS commentators are saying "Oh, he's fine". Like wtf. He popped his head up for a second with a smile on his face before going back into pain mode...it was weird and it fooled me too

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 13, 2012 -> 10:50 PM) Argo f*** yourself. Didn't enjoy it? I'm finally getting out to the movies tomorrow and I was thinking of seeing it after seeing all the positive reviews.

Yawn fest

I'd be okay with paying him about $8M a year

Go...Yankees?

Biden absolutely mopped the floor tonight. Ryan was backpedaling and bulls***ting constantly. None of it matters though, this is the VP debate.

I'm very happy with Cutler's numbers, but we haven't really had many barnburners yet, either. He hasn't exactly led us on a bunch of Brady-esque winning drives.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 10, 2012 -> 12:27 PM) Someone who's an orthopedist tell me i'm wrong, but I thought with ligament tears like that it's really not about just giving it rest. The more work on that knee you do, the better. Obviously you don't want to overdue it, but if he's back to a point where he can cut and change directions and everything, and it's not swelling or painful, you're really not increasing your chances of re-injuring the ligament simply from him playing basketball. I don't think chances of reinjuring the ACL are very likely at all, though I'm happy to be corrected. There is just a serious need for reacclimation, strengthening, etc in the whole lower body. I'd imagine the only real concern with a too soon concern is a mixture of injury risk for other parts of his body and more likely low effectiveness.

A reminder to google image search the words "completely wrong"

I'm not going to pretend to know whether Lu's wrist is unhealthy. He says it feels fine and that's what I'm going with. I really like Luol Deng, I like watching high effort players. I'm really happy to have Kirk Hinrich back, especially now that we aren't watching the young version of him that was supposed to become a number 1 scoring option. Even without D-Rose, this is the best team Kirk's ever been a part of and I think his style of play fits with Thibodeau. Another good defender (when healthy) and hard worker. When Derrick returns, I'm very happy for him to be the backup PG and I'm okay with him being the starter since that is by no means a long term plan. I wouldn't bother with the tanking business, the team is too good for that. If you're a fan, you need to be hopeful for a strong season without D-Rose and for him to return late and make the playoffs fun. While I love Derrick, there have been many times that I enjoyed watching the team without him on the court rather than with. The "nobody move or move the ball because Derrick is going to dribble" offense got old very quickly, especially against the Heat. The team isn't as good without Derrick but they run a better offense...and hallelujah for the departure of the Watson/JL3 no-passing all-shooting two headed monster.

It's not fashionable, but I definitely think we improved the bench. Didn't see the preseason game today, I'm out of market

lol

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Oct 7, 2012 -> 07:15 PM) I know he does. He would be a perfect addition. Bat him 2nd. He also plays a nice SS/2B & OF. No idea what TB would ask for in return, but there's not much I wouldn't give up at this point. That's a smart idea, though I'm wary of trading with them. They seem to value all of their pieces highly.

Bears!

My thoughts on the Packer game

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 6, 2012 -> 11:18 PM) I'd rather drink it than Miller/Coors/Bud. That's basically my take on it after last night. Wasn't great by any means, but it really is better than those brands IMO. The taste and scent that stood out to me (among the average-ish general beer flavor). was that of corn. Anyone else get this? What happened to the beer thread?
