QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 10, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) you know what i found interesting, B&B read off the Pro Football Reference list of players most similar to Cutler, and George wasnt one of them. I see the comparison as well, which is why i found it interesting I thought their Jake Plummer comparison was better.

What an upset.

It's an American issue.

It's still annoying. It's one of those things where every writer feels the need to throw out there from here eternal as some sort of safeguard. "See guys, I know what's going on, I'll comment about how his delivery means we should downgrade him so if it does happen I'm smart but if it doesn't I'm still good too"

Man the bears injury reports have been ridiculous this year. Wasn't McLellin supposedly gonna come back with the broken hand because he's a linebacker that will never intercept a ball anyway?

It amazes me how much more effective Bradshaw is immediately upon entering the game. If he didn't have foot problems they are cautious with he's probably a top 5 rb. That said, hard to not start him and dwayne allen at this point, they seem to get so many td oppos on that offense.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 10, 2014 -> 03:38 PM) Jeff Nuich ‏@JeffNuich 1h1 hour ago OFFICIAL: @CSNChicago posted its HIGHEST-RATED #Blackhawks season opener gm rtg in network HISTORY last night - 5.4 avg...225K+ peak viewers I'm pretty surprised by that. Most people around me at work were shocked Hockey was starting.

"Mr. Currie became increasingly belligerent and profane and the police officer attempted to restrain Mr. Currie with handcuffs to insure the police officer's and Mr. Currie's safety." Rinse. Repeat. Rinse. Repeat.

I think we are two years away from not only having a stable group of future starters but also enough depth to trade without destroying the system. When the first bit of progress is made you get excited and think you are close, but boy, rebuilding up that farm really does take a long time.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Oct 10, 2014 -> 02:52 PM) So it sounds like his delivery and command is hurting his the effectiveness of his fastball. Command is still at 40-45 for other pitches. I do not know what his command was coming into this year, but it doesn't sound like he made much improvement. Losing half of the season to injury definitely hurts. And this is also just 1 start in AFL, hopefully he makes adjustments rest of the way. Which is crazy to me because I thought last year showed dramatic improvement in command. His k/bb was great.

This probably goes back to Derrick Rose.

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.

basic look into merit of shoe sponsorships affecting recruiting: http://www.rockmnation.com/mizzou-basketba...lege-basketball

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 (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.
