So, saw the roadshow of The Hateful Eight. I do recommend if you are seeing the movie to find the 70mm versions. The screen showing at Music Box was incredible, and the opening shots were worth the price. Seeing it in a huge theatre like that was a lot of fun, rarely am I in a packed house like that and its a completely different experience. Fun for moviegoers, if you are one that prefers watching at home - probably not going to sway you. As for the movie, it had interesting ideas, great visuals, great scenes of dialogue, but it just didn't come together for me.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 08:56 AM) The feds really can't back down again like they did the first time these guys pointed weapons at BLM officials. This group really isn't a threat of anything except embarrassing themselves. Not making them martyrs is the smart move. Nobody thinks Waco was handled well, and that started with them shooting at ATF agents. Let it ride, do not go in. Maybe play loud music, cut power, etc. Treat it like a hostage situation. Although I'm not sure what it says when basically any obstinate behavior in an episode with a police officer where you end up dead is considered justified, but if the Feds went in guns blazing to a group that has taken over federal property with guns gets people the benefit of the doubt.

Why are the Bulls in a world of trouble as an organization? quick edit: in response to pettie4sox

They are so upset that the BLM doesn't allow land the federal govt owns has protections on it and want to get special treatment or else that means they can revolt.

I know pagano is not a great coach, but I'd rather keep him that join the 15 or so teams hiring this year.

LOL

Of course I went yo reorganize the basement instead of watch that

This is the first bulls game I've seen in weeks. Portis looks great. His defense is rough one on one but his effort is insane. Mirotic on the other hand

Damn it.

That was an outrageously illegal block before the pass

Weird how our tyrannical govt has treated this group with such delicacy to prevent unnecessary violence. It's very atypical for a tyrant. Oh well.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 2, 2016 -> 06:30 PM) Because the actual company in the US basically has no or negative value in terms of its current stock market valuation. At any rate, you might be right, the fantasy sports brand might well survive but not so sure about the columnists. Although a lot of the site itself is outsourced or linked to other content providers/partners. You wrote "because" and then followed up with something that was not an explanation of why you decided talking about Yahoo. Are you aware this thread has nothing to do with China or Yahoo? Feel free to refer to the title of the thread for help.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jan 2, 2016 -> 03:17 PM) Not sure what you're referring to here or how this in any way related to yahoo, but Yahoo will be fine for the simple fact that their fantasy sports platforms will keep them alive. Far and away the best out there, IMO. Yahoo has never really been top in notch in terms of reporting. Yahoo has some very heavy hitters. I do not know why they were brought up thou.

I have been very surprised by this market. All summer what did we hear.? You can find pitching, hitting and power are hard to come by. This market was supposed to hurt pitchers, yet we have seen sky high prices for them, and the most lob sided trade for one in recent memory. Meanwhile, a great class of outfielders has no market. I have theories, but it's bizarre.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 2, 2016 -> 11:20 AM) We have almost 2500 posts between this and the Gordon thread, and neither of them have even signed a contract yet. Imagine how much action there will be when in these threads when they do finally sign somewhere. Probably not as much, enjoy it now. Offseason is really boring in Jan.

In the players defense, I would be going crazy if I was fighting just to get Ben Zobrists contract which was just paid out.

Seeing Hateful Eight at music box tomorrow. I think that will be fun to see a movie in a crowd that big. Last movie I saw there was ... The room or White Christmas.

I think upton will ho Baltimore if no Chris Davis deal

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 02:27 PM) Not entirely sure how this benefits the Sox in any way Sigh, yeah initially I advocated we chill out. But the more I sit with this the more I feel this was a really bad sign. Silence shows more control than this leak.

Chill out, this is just a way for sox to prevent them being used to up price / years

That just says to me it's still a pretty good buyers market

That'd be sweet

Everything was what I expected except slugging was lower.
