If that's the case, Frank better be invited as well.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 05:03 PM) seriously, the Art of Pizza on Ashland beats the s*** out of all of those, true story. Honestly never tried it.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 04:43 PM) I wouldn't worry about it just yet. There is still plenty of time for late bloomers and kids to show their stuff this summer and fly up the rankings. Rose isn't going to be knocked out of the top PG spot by anyone though, he's nasty. He won't get knocked out because he isn't the top PG. OJ Mayo is. And don't give me anything about him being a combo guard. He's just a big PG.

I disagree with people saying Ridnour is a bad selection and wouldn't have made it. He's a pretty good player in the half-court offense(don't know where anyone got the notion that he's bad at that), he's great at running the fast break and good at deferring to others. Plus he doesn't need to dominate the ball. Honestly, Hinrich = East Coast Ridnour in terms of impact and type of game though Hinrich is more versatile at defense. *awaits flaming*

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 12:34 PM) I'm with you and I will go one step further. Lou Malnati's sucks. I will never ever go there again. I too listened to all the hype. I went there and I was extremely disappointed. I thought I may have had a bad pizza or came on a bad day so I gave it another try. It sucks. It absolutely sucks ass. to SSI and LMB

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 09:33 AM) Pssh, Lou's>>>>>>>>>>>>Giordano's. There's not another meal in the world I'd rather have then Lou's, true story. I respectfully disagree. Again, it's not nasty, but I prefer Paliermo's over all and Giordano's after that. Then there's a huge dropoff. Paliermo's ... ... Giordano's ... . . . . . . . . ... Lou Malnati's

I hope my UIC Flames win the Tourney. Honestly, everyone has a legit shot in our conference.

So does the acquisition of Vazquez mean Lidle is next?

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) Palermo's I can't believe I forgot about this place considering my sister and brother both worked there. Great great place and the owners were cool as heck. Too bad one of them died in a freak accident. Great ass pizza though. I absolutely love their sauce.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 07:17 PM) Let the best Pizza win: My contribution: Lou Malnati's Overrated. I went there a month ago after hearing so much about it and I thought it was good pizza, but nowhere near the hype. I'll stick with Giordano's.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 06:46 PM) Are the Knicks right now the ideal situation for ANYTHING? (Except of course, for the Bulls, who have their picks) Yep, if you have a huge contract and a half-assed attitude towards learning, it's the ideal situation for you.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 06:04 AM) And suprise, suprise (you Bulls fans would be loving this more by the day); I don't think that place is an ideal situation for a rookie. Half the players on that team take everything as a joke.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 02:03 PM) I do give Duke credit for one thing. I can't ever remember them having any sort of NCAA violations. At least under Coach K. Its also why I always had a lot of respect for Stanford's programs. They can't just bring in any talented guy they want, they have to also have high acedemic marks (same with my favorite football team...ND). Duke is as dirty as any program. Maggette received money from a booster. Chris Duhon's mother was given a $150,000.00 job coincidentally by Duke. Boozer was also given some cash IIRC. Getting caught or not is basically based on how many friends you have around the coaching ranks and in other programs. If you have enemies or you offset an assistant coach in Jimmy Collins' case, you get "snitched" on or caught. That's plain and simple.

You would be suprised at all the benefits student athletes get. I have a friend who works at a Big Ten University and the players get to live in great housing, everything they eat or touch is paid for and they basically get an allowance. When it comes down to it, they need no money from boosters unless they plan on investing it for when they're out of school and they're not Pro material.

I took one and only missed 1 question and I don't think I'm close to being a genius.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 11:10 PM) He was definitely angry. Looked like it was something he wanted to get off his chest for a long time. Yeah it did. Said he should've came to see him face to face. No offense to KW, but Frank on one leg could still handle Kenny.

Wow, I just watched KW's interview on ESPN and he went at him hard. One thing the article doesn't mention KW saying is, "We don't miss his b****ing."

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 08:58 PM) Cause a lot of the sports in the olympics I just don't care about. For the sports I do, the rest of the world cares about the medals more then the U.S. to be honest. The olympics just never interest me. It's nothing against the olympics, I personally just don't care. That's a problem IMO. We don't care much about the Olympics anymore and that's why the US loses in sports they should win in. Personally for me, I love the Olympics. You get to go up against the whole world. It's the ultimate competition to me. I understand though that you don't like the olympics. Maybe it's just not many peoples cup of tea. QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 09:24 PM) I agree. Aside from that, the L runs all day thru most sporting venues as it is, maybe run a PACE bus thru NU, but the L runs all over. I enjoy taking the L I do too. At first I thought it was bad, but I throw on my MP3 player and don't mind it. Or I'll talk to some people. QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 09:34 PM) My chemistry teacher lived in Atlanta during the 1996 games, he said traffic was bad, but not horrendusly terrible. Chicago shouldn't be too bad, since we have a good mass transit network Yeah, I would imagine it would go alot smoother here than Atlanta. We have one of the best, if not the best mass transit network.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 10:17 PM) Ahh, Frank is unprofessional. Kenny, a team executive, can call the best Sox player ever a selfish idiot, and it's completely justified. Gotcha. That's pretty much how it is unfortunately. I'll root for both Kenny(I was one of those supporters when so many wanted him fired) and Frank. Talk just adds to good tv drama and a better chance of selling out that A's series.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 09:20 PM) They do? I would highly doubt that other players care what Curt Schilling think or says. I also think that most have forgotten all about the lockout just as many fans have. Ok, then just take any player that ever left the Sox. Who knows if they are bitter that they left the Sox. We have no clue how they really feel regardless of what they say. Olivo wasn't pissed at all. What Frank said wasn't false, it just wasn't entirely true. The White Sox are not a player unfriendly organization. Thome wanted to be here. Konerko wants to be here and took less to stay. Many players like it here and for the most part players have come and gone with nothing bad to say at all. Only a select few have had bad things to say or left with animosity. That is where he is wrong. I'm pretty sure they do care what Curt Schilling says when players who were on the team say it as well. Olivo was pissed and I don't know why you dont take that into consideration. And don't forget about the way KW toyed around with Kelly Wunsch before he dropped him. And do you honestly think that PK stays if they don't go 5 years and/or add Thome? I personally don't.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 09:14 PM) HUH? IIRC, Alomar fired his agent after 2003 because he f***ed up a deal where the White Sox were going to re-sign him. Olivo was a crybaby. I don't think that's true. Wasn't Alomar the one which he said, KW told him he was going to resign him for X amount of dollars and when he was about to sign the contract, it was something else which set off Robbie? I'm pretty sure that's him.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 09:05 PM) First of all you are taking "f*** Alomar" out of context. What I was trying to get across was "Forget I brought Alomar up". No one can actually point out to me how he left, so I just said "f*** him". In other words forget I brought him up since we can't prove if he left on a good or bad note. I am not dismissing him at all. I didn't know Schilling was a former player, so I really don't care about him. He would never pitch for the Sox because he believes, as do many, that Reinsdorf was responsible for the lockout. That is the only reason. Who the f*** cares about Schilling and what he thinks anyway? He should actually get off his high horse anyway. David Wells left our organization on good terms. You may not care, but other players around the league probably do. Players talk with other players and they do influence decisions. And Olivo was pissed because I guess he wasn't notified about being on the block. You can't dismiss these players as examples so quickly. Some may still be bitter, some may not. I'm just stating that what Frank is saying isn't false.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 09:03 PM) Ozzie and Fisk were definitely ticked. Robin was, iirc, upset, but much more low key. Plus, so many fans were upset on his behalf (while with Oz and Fisk everyone could see they were done). Miggy was upset, but only behind closed doors. But I guess that counts now. I think Frank is wrong, dead wrong, on the whole 'Sox treating their players' stuff. If he didn't like the diminished skills clause, he didn't need to sign the contract. The Sox indeed did him a favor in tearing up that whole mess. Being wrong doesn't make him a selfish idiot, though. I did forget Fisk. Shame on me.
