QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ May 24, 2010 -> 04:41 PM) Count me in the group that was disappointed with the ending. They dick us around with the alternate universe the whole season and don't really explain it? Also why weren't Miles and Lapidus in the church? Obviously, they were on the same plane with Kate, Sawyer, and Claire. I was also disappointed that we didn't see Walt or Michael anywhere. EDIT: Richard wasn't at the church either. The alternate, apparently was purgatory. I still think the island was also purgatory allowing the alternate universe to exist. Popular opinion says that the island was real, and the alternate universe was purgatory. And they had to all meet up to remember the most important parts of their lives and enter together. Now Ana Lucia and Ben who had unfinished business decided to stay.

Brown is a terrible coach. The problem with Orlando is that they Dwight needs to develop a post game and Matt Barnes should not be counted on as your tough player on the court. They could use a true enforcer like Nocioni and a true leader. Turk was a leader, but he was not an enforcer. And honestly, if they kept Turkoglu this year, they probably would've had a worse year. Even last year, he wasn't good until the 4th quarter in terms of efficiency. This year he was worse. And ask Toronto how much leadership he brought them. The key is always going to be Dwight though. Is he going to turn the corner and turn grimey or is he going to let other people bump him off the low block and/or throw up wild shots that are prayers? Tyson Chandler has a better offensive game.

In that situation, ditch the taste Rex and head to Navy Pier. It's also, overall, a better place to be in my opinion. The food at the taste, while very good, is very overpriced.

I'd say Oakland. Only because, when it seems like the team is ready to compete, they can never keep it together despite winning because of their low paroll requirements. It hurts also because the team can never add that "missing" piece to go from a decent contender to a championship contender. That would frustrate me more than having a team that flat out just sucks.

There will be fireworks for sure on July 3rd. I believe Navy Pier and the Taste both have them. I would advise you go to to Navy Pier for fireworks nights. The past two years, there's been gang fights there. Two years ago specifically, someone just started shooting right in front of the fountain and fighting. It happened in front of Buckingham Fountain. Normally, there is no criminal activity there at all. It's just a matter of everyone wants to be there including gangbangers with their girlfriends, they see someone wearing the wrong color and violence erupts. If you don't go to Navy Pier, go to Millenium Park and watch them from the grass field there. Very nice place to be. Morton's is the only one I tried from that list. Fantastic!!!

It's going to be Juliet. It's too predictable not to be. She was an important part up until this year and that's because she "died" on the island. We have seen people dead on the island exist in the other universe. Also, I don't think Ben succeeds in saving the island. Remember, the first episode, the island was sunk. It'll probably have something to do with the light. I'm guessing Locke finds the light and somehow causes it to somehow sink the island.

For what the Bulls are looking for, I also agree that Henry should be the target. With that said, I think he doesn't last that far down. So next step would be James Anderson or Avery Bradley to me.

Only interesting part was about Ibis trying to defend Oney because Ozzie bolted the premises. Either way, that's too much family there. Keep that poop at home.

Honestly, I'm going to say this is a 74 win team. I don't know what's wrong with it. When one thing starts working, two other parts start failing.

I forgot they drafted Tim Beckham. Honestly though, it was easy for them to suck because their attendance wasn't really affected either way. Once they got a good GM and their scouting department improved, they were bound for destiny. I wish the Sox could do this. Get some real superstars in there.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2010 -> 07:31 PM) That's kind of an odd statement from someone who just joined three days ago... Don't you think? in before IP check?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 17, 2010 -> 10:02 AM) South Loop never boomed, it busted with over development and bankrupted contractors. Commercial is thin and its a buyers market through and through. Exactly, right now is a buyer's market. South Loop is up and coming. There was an article tying it into... QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 17, 2010 -> 10:42 AM) And most of "historic" Bronzeville is a crime ridden ghetto. So don't buy there, either. heh Bronzeville and South Loop with the mayor pooring in some decent coin to develop those two areas after failing to get the Olympics. I believe I read it on city-data or Red Eye. I'll try to find the article.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 18, 2010 -> 07:03 PM) Leverage for what? To get a better team that he can grow with in Cleveland. Similar to Kobe and the Bulls. He may like the Bulls alot and be enamored with them, but he wants to win a championship where he currently is at. Antawn Jamison was a good scorer on a crap team. He should almost never be a number two scorer. Mo Williams is a decent player, but he shouldn't be your 2nd best player. They were depending on an aging Shaq and Ilgauskus. Anthony Parker was their starting 2 guard which is almost as bad as the Lakers at one point having Smush Parker as the starting PG.

Is he still wearing his street clothes or does he actually have wrestling wear?

I doubt LeBron is already house shopping. He's going to be working out in Chicago with Eddy Curry, but he did so last year as well(without Eddy). In fact, he spent most of his summer in Chicago. I still doubt LeBron comes. I'm pretty sure he's using us for leverage, Eddie Jones style.

I still think Ozzie is a decent manager. The problem is, KW let's him play GM with the roster and coaching staff and we've seen how that blows up in his face. What KW needs to do is pick the team he wants. Sign the players he wants to. For Ozzie to be successful, you must Ozzie proof the lineup.

QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ May 14, 2010 -> 09:02 PM) Boers and Bernise talked about this on the SCORE months ago, and someone called up and said that they won't put in the turf because of soccer. That whatever governing body controls the international games played at Soldier Field doesn't allow the games to be played on that surface and only natural grass. I have no idea if that is true, but it would make sense as the Park District would be losing out on money if the soccer games were no longer held there. But who knows. I believe that is no longer true. Someone on this board brought it up months ago.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ May 14, 2010 -> 07:45 PM) Its on him to prove he actually wants to win. The Bulls give him the best opportunity to win It's a matter of what's most important to him. Is it his legacy on the basketball court, or his life outside of basketball that is supreme? Remember, he stated he wanted to be a billion dollar athlete. Money is super important to him. If he wants pure money, he goes to New York. If he wants to be with what he knows, he stays in Cleveland, if he cares purely about his basketball legacy, he'll probably go to the Bulls. Honestly, I think winning isn't as important as you guys think he is. This guy is so self absorbed with himself, he believes he can win anywhere. For the most part, he is right. Without LeBron, Cleveland probably doesn't make the playoffs or they are an 8th seed. If he went to the Clippers, they would be a top team next year. Right now, he's mad because he lost after another great season. When they actually get a competent coach in there, they'll be fine. Of course, I'd gladly eat crow.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 9, 2010 -> 09:48 PM) Games on my list: Heavy Rain (waiting for when it comes down in price) 3D Dot Heroes ($40 seems like a fun price for a retro game) Red Dead Redemption (See above video) ModNation Racers (Love kart racers, love LBP) As someone who just played Heavy Rain, I'd suggest you rent it. It's kind of on the short side.

Honestly, I'm more interested in Alan Wake for the 360. My thing with RDR is that it's supposed to be bigger than GTA San Andreas. While tons of people loved how big it was, I really didn't. There was a ton of areas that were used for nothing more than scenery, not actual gameplay. I hated the long drives. The actual gaming portion itself was perfect though. I felt like I got the most out of my money with that game. Anything more though, and I would've quit the game and sold it. It filled me up to the top and gladly, nothing more. RDR, I bet, is going to have a ton of places in which you don't do much at all. The area is supposed to be, what, 4x's as big as SA? That's too much for me. And I'm not a huge multiplayer guy either with first person shooters. I like playing the story.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 12, 2010 -> 08:32 PM) I love Comcast's quality and speed, but they are too expensive. This. Honestly, my main gripe about them is how overpriced they are. Their internet speeds are great though as well as their picture(though it's not the best).

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 14, 2010 -> 06:06 PM) I know there's a 'chance.' But folks are setting themselves up for some pretty massive disappointment. The thought of Lebron in a Bulls uni is just too improbable to comprehend. And I for one have never believed in miracles. I agree as well. He just wants to be showed some love, he'll get a new coach, get pampered by a couple of cities, then decide he wants to be in Cleveland where he is king.

The Bears should get the Field Play which is mixed in with real grass.

Brown should've been fired ages ago. Heck, just last year, don't you remember when John Kuester had the board drawing up a play while Mike Brown was panicing in the background walking back and forth? The guy has been a joke.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 11, 2010 -> 09:23 PM) Exactly. I know what it costs for the plant. Very, very well. That was my job. And I also know what they do to try and compensate. Most people won't know the difference. They turn on U-Verse HD and it looks decent... I know what to look for, though. And the HD quality of Uverse is a lot worse then cable. Uverse However, I do know that Uverse is also trying to change their technology a bit. I think they should have done so before they rolled out, but they were in a race to try to capture homes passed so they could drive their subs up. Now, they have to go back and spend more money to do it right. Cable - one of the first things that Time Warner did when they came into this market was upgrade the plant. But the problem with cable is that they run the signal through the nodes and you can have some heavy hitters on a node, and the node on the next block will be hit a lot less, but that's the breaks. They were working on controlling that, but they really have a hard time with that. They were trying to split the nodes to address this problem, but they can't totally compensate for it, so you have a degraded signal in one neighborhood as compared to another. Again, most common people don't notice it, but it does happen. Yep. In fact, when still on analog about 5-10 years back, in my area, channels 5 and 7 on Comcast would be completely blurry. I thought it was just my house, but then I went to several friends' houses in the same area, and it happened with every one of them for all of their tv's. Same lines and broken signal for those channels for almost every household. Only way around it seemed to be an amplifier from what I heard. Uverse in terms of Internet isn't bad. My gf has it and it gets the same constant speeds. She hasn't had a drop yet and she's had it for about 6 or 7 months. I will say their HD is not as good as Comcast's, but it is still pretty good and I don't think the average viewer can spot the difference.
