Not sure we have another run in us. That was a terrible missed call.

AND NIKO aNSWERs

Bulls gotta stop this run or its game over. Really bad offense being run by Brooks

Waiters just got traded to OKC. OKC gave up nothing, Cavs get iman stumpers and jr smith

This is wonderful. Not bad defense just. Host of weapons just creating space and great passing. Bulls in a western conference pace is right at home.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 05:06 PM) On a minor league deal, sure. I would too. Everyone was such a dumpster fire in April last year, and then we shuffled him into roles until he was injured. If he's not ready to retire, I'd give him a shot. Bullpens don't make sense very often.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 04:03 PM) try Wikipedia it is easier. You are probably right.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 03:48 PM) What about the last 2 years for DV? I'm not sure including 2013 for Bonifacio helps him either.

Would anyone sign Lindstrom again?

QUOTE (LDF @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 10:12 AM) the FR is not just 1 book and it describe the situation. it was mostly of economic and the inbreeding of the aristocracy at the time. read on the mentality of the King of the time, the queen coming from the other country, the little safe haven she made for herself, the politic of the time. start at 20 yrs before the FR and how it lead up to it. the wanton abuse of the people, the lowly serf. the hunger and the reigning monarch not knowing, not having the cabinet members to deal with it, the continue expense of the noble houses. most important how the cabinet members kept it hidden from the king. then the strife of the poor and the breaking point. here is the main point, how there was no government and how later the military came to power b/c of the void. many different books explains it all. This sounds like when I took a Bolshevik Revolution class in college and we had to start with Peter the Great.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 08:58 AM) I'd say he wants to read something about the French Revolution. I've got a friend pursuing a phd in history in a different era from the FR but he always nerds out about the FR. He hasn't read a lot of "overview" books on the FR I guess, but this is what he said: He hasn't read the 12, but says the author is pretty well-regarded. The closest he could really recommend to a broad overview is this collection of essays by historians. It's more about what historians have thought and said about the FR over time, but I thought you might be interested. His first recommendation would still be the pop history book by Mark Steel mentioned above. Not a rigorous analysis but a good way to get into it as long as you take some things with a grain of salt. Carlisle was on the gutenberg project for free, ha. It's really incredible to me how hard this is. Like, I don't even know basic chronology, but nobody has been able to point to something all encompassing. If I wanted someone to learn about the Civil War, I'd point them to McPherson and then onward and upward. I'm going to try the essays.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 02:27 PM) There is so much we dont know about George before he assumed control though. What if he was working for another company and just assumed that his brother was going to continue to run the business? It wasnt like it was a planned move, from all accounts people expected Mike to handle it until he went full boob and botched a coach hire. Yeah that's a possibility. I just imagine I'd be really into football.

There seems to be a lot of commentary praising George for committing himself to learning the business the last two years. I have to say I'm disturbed by that. Do you mean to tell me that you are part of the 5 or so families in North America who operate an NFL football franchise and have refused to get actual presidents to run the thing, and in all that time, despite access to learn, you did not bother? What the hell!

I think Cowboys have something this year, I don't think they'll get blown out by any means.

Ugh.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 12:53 PM) Bears will hire their new GM's this week, I predict no later than Friday. PS: This is not sourced...just me blabbing about what will happen. It will be Ballard or Gamble. Makes sense, the Kansas City Chiefs have been one of the powerhouses of the AFC for years. If you can nab a GM from there, 2 years removed from leaving a regime in chicago fired for bad drafting, you do it.

If he has a 2014 LHP hitting year, this is just a perfect signing. What a career you can make if you can play that many positions. Also, this guy is only 30, I thought he was 33-34, he's been around forever.

I think soccer officials have have a really tough job, especially with the diving and judgement calls.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jan 3, 2015 -> 11:22 PM) 4? Really good 4. 3's just have more speed to close out at the 3pt line, and also recover on the pump fakes. When he does this vs. 4s they have no chance. For one, he eliminates a 6'8 or taller man from clogging the lane, for 2, they are helpless to defend him that far out. But he wasn't awful, I think Green shot pretty poorly. He was running fantastic PnRs with Noah, except Noah has no ability to finish despite getting fantastic looks.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 5, 2015 -> 09:25 AM) And no offense to you, I don't think anyone seriously thinks that Rick Hahn takes advices from Soxtalk. If he did, we would've signed every free agent out there this offseason, and traded for Upton, Kemp, Castro, CarGo and Viciedo would have been long gone by now. I think he saw the disappointment from us in the Denorfia signing and said " I raise you Bonifacio"

So...yeah Mirotic is not a 3

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 3, 2015 -> 09:10 PM) I'm not sure how our defense has regressed this badly. Small forward #1 #2 and #3 are out.

Evan Turner is destroying the Bulls. If they don't win a championship I'm quoting this post as to why.

This has been a miserable week of Bulls basketball.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 3, 2015 -> 11:16 AM) Texas has no housing policy. As in they have no zoning laws, at all. Which is much better than the oppo. They do regulate mortgages more.
