Sox acquire Jeff Samardzija and Michael Ynoa
QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 07:50 PM) I wouldn't look too much into this. I bet it means nothing. Probably just lyrics to a song he likes or something like that. He was joking I'm pretty sure.

2014-2015 NBA thread
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 07:08 PM) I think a lot of this is he is still gaining confidence in his body. I haven't seen him drive and use floaters, stop and fire a midrange shot, which is something he was literally lethal with early in his career. He also has gotten to the basket at times at will (when he wants to) but hasn't had the touch that he will gain. I've seen more to be excited about then not, but it is going to be a long process with the biggest factor being his health and staying on the court. If he can stay on the court and play, we will see him look more and more like the player of old. I don't think he'll be that exact same guy / as good this year, but I still think if he plays, we'll see a guy that by seasons end is 85 to 90% of the guy he was. For me, the Rose of the last 5 games has looked like crap. The Rose in the 3 total games prior did not have trouble driving. It has to be the hammy, and hammy's take forever. This just sucks.

Kenny Williams discussed as CEO candidate in Toronto
QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 7, 2014 -> 06:24 PM) His name was mentioned atleast a month ago. You didnt think he knew that they wanted him then? You have no idea the circumstances. This criticism is outrageous. He likes his job now, you think he'd throw it away for a promotion that's not a sure thing? He's a human.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Dec 7, 2014 -> 07:27 PM) that's why its better to suck than be mediocre. sucking gives you a reason to tune in. There's also no intrigue. There's no fun watching Fuller get burned, Bostic run in circles...I don't remember a single good thing about our tackles since the Jets game.

2014-2015 NCAA football thread
QUOTE (zenryan @ Dec 7, 2014 -> 05:56 PM) No issue with the top 4. Really wouldnt had an issue with any result of the top 4. I have an issue with how they feel the need to have a weekly ranking, especially if theyre going to have a clean start every week. This Long guy is an idiot. So OSU moves up based on performance, not because of something TCU did. Ok, that's fine but why moved TCU down to 6? What changed yesterday to drop TCU behind Baylor? We've known for weeks Baylor won the head to head yet they kept TCU ahead. Probably just moved Baylor ahead for consolation. Baylor beat a top ten ranked team yesterday.

Bulls scouting must be really good. They keep leaving Draymond Green wide open. Because he's a power forward. So he can't shoot I guess.

UVa gang rape accusations
I reported on a home invasion/rape case when I first started. The father, who we started to realize had some imbalance, was pushing his daughter to talk to the media. We decided to not interview at the scene, I got a victims rights advocate and interviewed later. Ended up cutting it from the story and focusing on the other family members information and police info. But, basically, every step in that story was hard and a huge "newsroom" decision. The reporter is right in a lot of sense but wrong in the whole. I didn't read the article, but read hannah rosen's critiques which were spot on. But beyond that, I understand the journalist and her explanations. The editor is an absolute idiot for running this.

Ferguson Riots
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 5, 2014 -> 04:32 PM) I'd go 0, 2, 8. Ferguson he was completely justified. New York I don't think warrants a murder charge at all. I'm curious if an expert would say whether he would have died without the choke hold. Either way, the culpability is slightly more than Wilson. The Cleveland situation I think deserves charges. As SS points out, the officers put themselves in that situation for no good reason, and the video looks like he jumped out of the car and shot the kid right away. There was no time to order the kid to drop the weapon and wait for a response. You might as well claim that in any situation where the assailant has a gun, if the cop jumps out in front of him and fires he's justified because he could have been shot at any moment. edit: that's basically the "it's coming right for us!" south park shooting defense. I just want to point out, that every time you have seen an actual video of a controversial shooting that sounded like it had justification, you have been surprised at how quickly and thoughtlessly the situation was "resolved".

NCAA basketball 2014-15 thread
QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 5, 2014 -> 04:52 AM) Yeah, Arkansas might be a touch overrated. Their press was absolutely shredded tonight. They started holding the ball partway through the first half. These games always happen with an Anderson team. Some games it will get annihalated, other games not really matter, and others...it'll get you a win you didn't deserve. But he always had trouble away from home. Homecourt + press is a dangerous tool, i'll give him that.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 5, 2014 -> 03:04 PM) I get the Bears defense being bad, there isn't much talent on that side of the ball. I just don't understand how that offense isn't good, not saying they should be great. I think Bear fans over hyped them last year, but they should be ranked higher than 19th in the league in points per game. Should be closer to top 10. I can't tell if the offensive line is just much worse or we aren't scheming for it as much as we did last year. OR, people know we are overcompensating for a bad oline by jumping every short route, and know we'll have to either throw it deep with happy feet in the backfield or LOL run the ball.
