QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 10, 2014 -> 03:06 PM) They couldnt find anyone to come forward and say they paid him. They didnt go much further than that which is surprising. I know in the OSU case that they actually looked at kids bank accounts to see if they received money. Weird, I thought there was video of transaction. Don't remember. Oh well, last time Mizzou fans got psyched about a backup running back Iowa's backup dropped like 214 yards against us. Probably will happen again.

If the NFL had any understanding or handle of the situation, I don't think people would much care if the response was "We used to think that domestic violence issues were a private matter left to the police, now we understand our position in American culture and as role models and are dedicated to leading the charge against domestic violence" ... but because I'm not sure the NFL really understands what wrong is, they'll probably just try to cover it up and make it worse.

Would love if this guy pans out in the rotation. Jobu help the lineup that struggles with sliders vs. Sale Rodon and Montas

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 10, 2014 -> 01:21 PM) Here is the problem with these kids making money this way: 1. When it becomes for sale we can ALL see how many items you signed. It's fairly easy trail of evidence. 2. These autograph hounds are scumbags: http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2...utographs-email Yeah after Manziel how do you let that happen. Also didn't Manziel only sit 1 half for that?

Sweet move by Kane tho

this was Richt sitting him I believe

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 10, 2014 -> 03:12 AM) Well most times you bet the money line. If it's: Hawks -150 St. Louis +125 It means that you put down $150 to win $100 on Hawks, or put down $100 to win $125 on St. Louis. If there's s spread, it's goals, but same principle...and they'll change the money line obviously. So maybe it's: Hawks (-1.5 goals) -120 St. Louis (+1.5 goals) +105 If final score is Hawks 4 Blues 3, Blues covered. If final score is Hawks 4 Blues 2, Hawks covered. Not sure how many words, but hopefully that's what you were looking for. Gotcha money line is what confused me

Wow, sloppy slow ans stupid to start the year.

Unreal Crawford performance

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 10:01 PM) I have seen people suggest Corey Dickerson too. 2014 Home: .363/.415/.684/1.098 .467 wOBA 171 wRC+ Away: .252/.305/.431/.735 .319 wOBA 102 wRC+ Even seeing those, I'd be perfectly content moving guys for him because while I wouldn't expect him to put up a 171 wRC+ at USCF, I also wouldn't expect him to suddenly turn into the completely average, ordinary hitter he was away from Coors Field either. The same, can be said of Carlos Gonzalez but it has to be at the right price. If the Rockies wouldn't take "halfway decent" for him, I wouldn't bother trying to acquire him. Yeah with the speculation I assumed we'd be getting him for not much. If it's a haul then probably not. Sox are in a tough spot, a promising but not very deep farm, and a promising but not very deep major league team. We have a tremendous core but crap surrounding it like an artichoke.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 11:48 PM) Word has it Gurley is suspended for taking money FOR SATURDAY?!?!?!! If missouri f***s this up oh god plsplsplsplspls

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 09:52 PM) I thought the lady, who was driving, refused to give the ticket, and told the cops to essentially take down her information on paper. Maybe I'm not remembering correctly. Either way, no, the proper and logical response to not wanting to be shot is to follow instructions, not further escalate the situation by being more suspicious. I get wanting to be defiant and proudly stating your rights (even though they didn't have any there because cops can ask you to get out of the vehicle without any reasonable suspicion if it's during a valid traffic stop), but sometimes it's far easier to just bite your lip and get on with your life. I think it's ridiculous that it's up to citizens for this. Again, it's a seatbelt stop with a family of 4 in it. Guns were pulled, a window was smashed, and a man tazed in front of the kids. The other cop seemed to be talking and handling the situation fine. Maybe the other cop was just s***ty at his job?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 08:12 PM) I agree they have to take chances, but when GarGo plays 115 games and puts up a .715 OPS, you probably regret ignoring the flashing red lights you see as you are about to complete the trade. I would just act like I didn't support it. Problem solved.

Honestly I would be way more pumped if Sutton and Ferguson turn out to be good tackles and we could save that money for elsewhere.

I would love if someone could explain hockey spreads in less than 250 words to me.

I emailed this and had no problem as well. You should probably contact your hosting provider.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 08:19 PM) I'm not going to condone cops going overboard when it comes to people not following their commands, but I don't see how you can compare this situation to something like the one in Chicago (or Hammond, wherever it was) with the taser. The woman wouldn't give the cops the ticket, wouldn't crack the window, the guy wouldn't state his name or exit the vehicle, they kept reaching for the back seat... ALL during a valid traffic stop. Here you have a woman who is positively ID'ing the "suspect" as a handyman and not the burglar. The cops didn't need to "detain" him anymore. The man said he didn't have ID but DID give them a ticket of his, and they were reaching in the back seat...to the child in the back seat? This is just the point, isn't it? Basically anything can be justified to kill someone. You fail to grant any possibility that maybe the people in the car were terrified after getting a gun pulled on them.

Yeah, just to be clear, I think the police were right to let them go. One, mainly because a neighbor came and told them the guy worked in the neighborhood. They probably could have done better in regards to this guy being disabled and he probably did not need to be forced to sit on the concrete.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 07:49 PM) When you are starting Jordan Danks for a month or a month and a half, trading actual good prospects for GarGo makes even less sense. I'd rather they get someone they could actually count on to play 150-155 or more games. Not someone you hope at this stage defies what his history has shown. Wasn't that Jermaine Dye's wrap before we struck big on him? We are going to need to take a shot at something.

Hawks lineups never change, so, I'm pretty pissed too.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 07:48 PM) Would she have stopped if they told her to? Not justifying the obvious poor actions of other police officers, but the situations are kind of apples and oranges. They did tell her to stop.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 07:34 PM) that story isn't mainly about them harassing the black guy, it's about the response the woman receives. Exactly, she completely disregards an order from an officer when she picks him up and takes him with. This is the exact same type of basic disobedience that is used as justification for a lot of force. See video above where man has given information, is talking normally with another officer, is refusing to go out of the car after having a gun pointed at him by the officer, the officers response is to break the window and tase him. These are situations where nothing is explicitly wrong, but one is handled well and the other poorly. I can see the response now if this women was in a poor neighborhood and dragged down and injured "She was motioning threateningly with her hands and started coming at the officer. The officer was scared and took down in self-defense" And everyone would say "Why did she not stop when they said to?"

Sign of a city for a football team - cannot find 70000 people willing to spend $30 for 8 home games.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 08:27 PM) You are citing one season where the bears were rebuilding their stadium as proof? At a university full of students from the chicagoland area? That is even more of a crap argument Yes. Nobody was saying "ugh I don't want to go to a crappy stadium to watch football", people went because the bears were playing. People aren't going to the Rams games because they don't care about football.
