Music Thread
Listened to Kanye's album and it's probably his worse work to date IMHO. Suprisingly, two of his best songs ever are on the album, All Of The Lights(original leak was better) and Power(though I like the extended version better). Those are probably my favorite songs by him ever. The rest of the songs are boring and mediocre.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 05:48 PM) I think i'm the only one who likes those "futuristic" jerseys I like the jerseys too. Loved the combat uniforms from last year. The U ones look nice this year too. Too bad the team blows.

Manny wants "Vlad-like" deal
I'd take Manny for 5.5 million and give him incentives. I think he would rebound very nicely next year.

White Sox Sign Dunn
I read about it. It says One GM thinks it would be that much for a starting point. He's probably going to get more. With that said, my favorite part was: From Kenny. This is the absolute right attitude. I don't think any sports team should settle for being middle of the pack. It's the worse thing to do.

2010-11 MLB Offseason Catch-All
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 05:24 PM) You think KW didn't try? This time around, I don't think he did. He easily could've topped that.

Who is going to be our best starter next season?
QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 11, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) Am I the only one that feels Danks has hit his ceiling? Not saying that's a bad thing. But it seems for the last couple years he was expected to have that 'dominant' season which vaults him into the elite. He's been roughly the same pitcher for the last three years. I feel the same with him and Gavin. I'm picking Edwin as the best starter this year.

2010-11 MLB Offseason Catch-All
Maybin has been traded to the Padres I think KW should've tried. Either way, that deal was the best possible deal they could've got for Cabrera at the time. It didn't work out, but sometimes it happens.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 02:32 PM) That's not quite accurate this week. We punted, and we held them, it worked, and it wouldn't have sealed the game with a 1st down anyway. We got the ball back anyway at basically the same spot and didn't do s*** with it. Defense blew. This.

Official 2010-11 NFL Thread
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 8, 2010 -> 09:31 AM) It takes time to run the ball effectively. Bears had some nice carries on the day and things worked out well, imo. Might not have been the best rushing attack ever, but you know what, It kept the opposition honest and Cutler was hit a hell of a lot less this week. If the Bears can consistently work on running the ball things should continue to get better, imo. Disagreed. There were tons of times where Cutler still had to throw off the back foot. Not, he did it because he wanted to, but literally had to throw off the back foot. 66 yards and I believe 31 carries is awful. It's not the RB's, it's the O-Line.

Didn't know you could trade a player's rights within the 5 day window so his option could be declined.

Video Game Catch-All Thread
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 5, 2010 -> 08:39 AM) Anyone else have NBA 2k11? I've only played a handful of games, but I still have ZERO feel for the controls. They're not very intuitive. I can't seem to do simple dribbling moves, like a crossover. Should I be using some combination with the stick and L2? Anyone have any tips? Yes, if you hit L2 twice, you're guy will do a stutter step and drive. If you hold L2 and move the left stick left and right they'll start crossing over. If you hold L2, move around the left stick, then hit your defender with Triangle, you'll almost always free up your guy for a good shot.

Mike Quade Named Cubs Manager
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 5, 2010 -> 08:39 AM) They literally cannot add much salary if any at all for next year. They already have 100+ million committed to their roster. They definitely won't get either one. At most they'll get back Kerry Wood. As I said before, Ricketts is not going to pour all his resources into the team. The days of spending are over for that ballclub. That's why they should fire Jim Hendry who has no idea on how to build with the draft or making deals.

Yankees asked for permission to talk to Coop
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 5, 2010 -> 09:12 AM) I can tell you with 100% certainty that I have never, in the hundreds of games I have been to in my lifetime, bought a ticket because of who the manager was. Never. I'd love to hear from anyone else who has, but I have never heard anyone say that "Hey I want to get up and see the Twins and Sox so that I can see that Ron Gardenhire in action!" I would've bought a ticket if Joe Torre was our manager.

Black Friday
I prefer Cyber Monday. Last year, I went Black Friday shopping and though I was able to get whatever I wanted, it still wasn't worth it. 4 hour line to pay. 1 hour line to get Starbucks.

2010 ALCS: Rangers vs. Yankees
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 27, 2010 -> 08:18 AM) Exactly Balta. If you don't wanna like him because you don't think he deserves the praise, thats fine by me. But I don't know how you can call him a phony? It's pretty obvious he has a serious substance abuse problem, which is a 24-7 battle, where he can relapse at any time, no matter how clean he is now. Thats what happened in those pics, he admitted to it, and got back to trying to stay clean. Does he admit to it though if the pictures don't leak?
