QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 17, 2014 -> 05:27 PM) Hard to believe the Sox have a home game in 6 weeks. This winter just won't end. I used to complain about how winter was just 35 degrees and overcast. What I would kill for that.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Feb 17, 2014 -> 07:21 AM) I thought the first episode of house of cards was amazing. It's was pretty lackluster after that but it's starting to pick up steam again. Just finished episode 10. I just really can't stand the idea that there wouldn't be more security cam footage for every bad thing that's happened. Find me a condo garage where important people live without a camera in it!

The police in house of cards are so hilariously inept though.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Feb 16, 2014 -> 10:02 PM) 3rd to 5th. He could have easily gone later too depending on the combine and other factors. People are trying to make him look like a better prospect than he is to try to blame his draft position on him being gay. It's ridiculous. Thats what happens when sites like SI drop him 60 spots the day after the announcement.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Feb 16, 2014 -> 09:39 PM) Is it really worth retrying the first degree count when they already got two second degree convictions? Attempted is the key word there.

Again, Vandys offensive tackle he did that against Will be in the NFL. He also had high TFL and if everyone racked up that production vs weaker competition 10 sacks in college wouldn't matter. Even when Sam didn't get to the QB he'd have good pressure. When Sam got extra attention Ealy took off. Surprise surprise. Sam has really good potential as a specialist, but needs to work on being a linebacker or being a full time DE vs run.

Michael Dunn not convicted of murder after shooting into a car full of black unarmed teens for playing music too loud. Racism is dead.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 11:27 PM) I've been saying since draft day when the Bulls passed on him. I know I'm jaded because of Michigan but just believe Hardaway is better at getting to the hole. Not the shooter Snell could be but can shoot and feel Jr does more on the floor than Snell. Time will tell. It seems like the progression of rookies under thibs is they look like hell while they learn his d, and then when they feel comfortable there we see their value on O. Same progression happens with vets except it's usually 1-2 months. This is why we have such slow starts last few years.

QUOTE (Jake @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 09:27 PM) That happened to me. Was dicking around forever and switched USB cords, making it work right away. Also, uninstall any others Android devices' drivers if you have those installed It was the USB, I did hours of dicking aroudn because I didn't want to go to the car to get my other one. ALso fun, because i killed the battery on my PC, I can't use the cyanogenmod mac installer because my phones on 4.4 now. Long day. If you find the htc one sprint img for 4.3 let me know.

Not to beat a dead horse but not upset that under armour sponsored equipment continues to get bad publicity. I hope they lose all of their sponsorships so I never have to see their terrible ideas again.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 07:28 PM) If it was 1st round talent that announced he was gay this wouldn't be an issue. LOL

Sigh, i know this is going to end up being the USB.

If he's not a favorite for this then we really f'd up.

Did they run xrays on Kessel's hand or did they just tape it right away?

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 03:23 PM) And that was a huge reason he was put on the team. Some incredible moves in that shootout. That Kovalchuk soft wrister...oh my. That was crazy.

Amazing that Oshie could come up with that variety with so much on the line. I thought it was foolish to put that much on him but he looked like he was having fun. (ugh why does he have to play for STL)

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 03:01 PM) Great hockey. Thought Kaner was going to score. Looking at the replay it looked like he had to keep his head down to make sure the puck didn't hop for a logn time. This ice looks pretty terrible at the moment.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 02:17 PM) Wasn't there a lot of texts that painted Martin in a bad light as well. I think incognito is a scumbag pos but I don't really feel much sympathy for Martin either. I think it's pretty clear that Martin was trying his best to be one of the boys and felt uncomfortable doing that, and even then wasn't accepted and kept being hazed.

I love with all of this ice our forechecking has mostly involved trying to have one guy skate through four defenders with the rest of the team off behind them, unable to even chase down the puck if it's dumped in.

ugh, was all excited to root my htc one today but it is not being recognized by any computer right now. I've reinstalled drivers a thousand times and sync manager, turned on usb debugging, etc. It's charging but is not recognized on any computer.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 14, 2014 -> 07:33 PM) This is the only way it happens. If Melo puts a gun to their head, what's better: Snell and a lot of picks, or nothing? The Charlotte Pick, Sacramento pick, Cleveland swap, and a few more Bulls picks could go a long way for a franchise that seemingly traded all of theirs. I mean, if you were saying the same trade except it was the Lakers proposing it everyone would be like...yeah sure. s*** just happens for them, I'd love the same. It seems like the Lakers offers are always "Hey, we'll take your superstar off your hands in a way that will make you terrible quickly. Good trade?" And the other line says yes.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 14, 2014 -> 07:11 PM) But injuries wouldn't have been an issue with Bird vs. Greenwood. As the college player of the year in 1979 Bird averaged 28.6 points, 14.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists a game. Even though Greenwood probably could beat him in a 40 yd. dash, and probably jump higher than him, Bird was clearly the better player. Thanks, this was my point. I don't think you can use Bowie as an example of why Bird would not have been selected. Bird was Oden in this case, he just happened to work out.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 14, 2014 -> 06:08 PM) You cant definitely say they would have drafted them. Someone passed on MJ with Bowie, someone passed on Durant for Oden. So while you can say "The Bulls could have had Bird", theres nothing to guarantee it. Not to mention: http://articles.latimes.com/1991-06-05/sports/sp-83_1_lakers Had the Lakers selected Larry, the Bulls would have gotten neither. So its pointless to speculate. While it's cute to act like Oden was such a bonehead pick now, that guy was clearly the best player in college and there was nothing in the NBA for big men at the time. He and Howard would have dominated if not for his legs.

I'm gonna withdraw from this debate. There will be no clear winner on how good Mirotic is when our only scouting is on youtube vids and euro production arguments. And the idea that Larry Bird wouldn't be good in today's NBA.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 13, 2014 -> 09:07 PM) I know that's what they're relying on...but when he winds up teamed with a guy who is only an average PG because of the injuries and 2+ seasons off, if he even stays on the court, I can't fathom that team competing with the elite. Even with the way Noah is playing. You're 100% right though...that's the only thing which will happen. The Bulls will amnesty Boozer, replace him with Mirotic, and otherwise stand pat, staying beneath the luxury tax and hoping for the best. The funny thing is if Bulls never drafted Mirotic, tanked this year, drafted him with a top 5 pick, people would be freaking the hell out with excitement. Because of the way Mirotic has been stocked away I don't think people know how to value him, but by all accounts the guy is a lottery pick.
