Until the bulls figure out rebounding issues they aren't blowing out anyone.

Meh jobs report. Thought it would be 300k this month

Looks good. Richards on 4th line, just like we all hoped, we have a 4th line center.

We haven't seen what Cavs will be yet. Offensively right now, they seem to iso a lot, and that does not seem like the Blatt offense we've heard of. They are just standing around because they don't know yet what to do. And that said, Bulls have a lot of work too. They have a lot of new faces to work in (Gasol, Rose, McD, Niko, Brooks, realistically Snell) and you can see that defensively and offensively at the moment.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 02:21 PM) There was a report that came out that suggested Lebron is letting this team sink, letting them learn the hard way that they arent what they think they are. Interesting strategy His interviews where he just throws people under the bus are ridiculous. Any other player would be getting so much s*** right now.

Bayh is the biggest hack of all of them. You only like him because he criticizes democrats and republicans but he can do that because he believes in nothing but making public appearance money to snipe at people who actually believe in things.

These continuation calls this year are out of control.

That's kind of true, wouldn't be absolute, not every state is on 10-14-18 schedule, some have every 2 years (2 states), others are on 04-08-12 schedule.

There's no polite way to say this: Glennon is just too ugly to be a starting QB.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 08:21 PM) He was re-elected in a state with a booming economy by less than 1%. That's extremely problematic. Considering the election, I'm not sure it is. Udall got killed, he survived.

Jimmy also has a shoulder sprain.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 08:06 PM) Hickenlooper was behind when I went to bed last night, but Boulder County and Denver County (the D strongholds in my fair state) hadn't been counted yet - last I saw the margin of victory was very, very narrow. I doubt he's a possibility in '16. He signed some gun control bill and he granted a reprieve to a guy set to be executed in '13. Beauprez actually ran an ad that featured the dad of one of the victims saying that Hickenlooper was planning to set the guy free (misinterpretation of the term "clemency"). Death penalty and guns rights are both issues that could hurt him with moderates... Please, those issues should help him. He's a competent governor who oversaw a great state economy. He also will not have the foreign policy baggage of Clinton, which is considerable.

Of all your cherrypicking, that is the silliest.

So on election day Silver gives a 70% chance of senate flipping for republicans along with a number of articles about how polls in the big states may be biased against republican strength and the response is that his model is wrong and he's an idiot? He'd have looked like a bigger fool if Dems won.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 08:25 PM) For some reason I thought Hickenlooper lost last night. Cuomo is a horrible person and wouldn't stand a chance. I don't think anyone wants Kerry to run again. Cuomo is definitely running in 2016 though.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 07:16 PM) Hopefully she learned not to let Mark Penn run her campaign if she wants to win the nomination in 2016. If she had hired someone who bothered to understand the delegates as well as Obama's team did, maybe she's able to beat back his early challenge. It would still have been really hard for her to overcome her Iraq war vote, though. Who else is on the Dem bench? edit: lol and just like that, the 2014 election thread morphs into the 2016 presidential campaign. He barely survived, but I'm guessing Hickenlooper, Cuomo will go, Omalley, McAullife (jk), Kerry, McCaskill.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 07:05 PM) With these campaign finance rules? I mean, 2008.

I guess I just don't understand the point of criticizing a player for injuries. And considering we've had 3 years of this board b****ing about it, having it reappear because of a sprained ankle that caused him to miss 2 games...just spare me.

I still don't think Hillary is as unstoppable as those on this board claim. She is a DLC hawk. Is that really the climate in 2015?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 06:17 PM) It does, but a lot of guys don't get injured when that happens. Derrick Rose hasn't been healthy since the 2010 season. Why should I believe he is suddenly going to stay healthy this year? A lot of guys don't get minor sprains when they land on a foot and roll their ankle? And choose to sit out because it isn't 100% but could probably play? Again, if you guys can't handle him sitting out for minor sprains, don't also b**** about other players playing too much, or how we should rest noah more because of his knee. he played through ankle injuries through 2011 and everyone was like "oh sit him, sit him, why won't you sit him?"

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 06:11 PM) I didn't catch what happened to the other ankle. He had no contact when he blew out his ACL and missed an entire season. He had no contact when he tore his meniscus and missed 70 games. As is typical with knees.

He landed on a foot. It happens.

Good to know Bulls fans are going to irrationally oscillate between complaining of players playing on injuries and complaining about players sitting out because of injury.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 05:09 PM) I'm mostly wondering what Rauner's going to do about the $4B crater not extending the income tax increase will leave in the budget. You're right, at least we're not like WI, MI, FL or god forbid Kansas Not sure, but it was unbelievable to me that Quinn couldn't find a winning coalition for any pension reform.
