I still think Hoiberg(for now) is the least of this team's issues. Front office needs to go and the roster needs a complete overhaul and then go from there.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 09:11 AM) Thanks, beautiful subforum. No thanks to you!

Hoping SIU doesn't lose by 50 on Friday. And hoping the Shockers don't beat everyone by double digits. Here's the bracket:

I definitely agree with the overall theme of the original post but I think Lawrie will be fine at 2b.

I'm sure Owens will somehow make the Big Show feud interesting if that's where they're going but that dude deserves so much better. Could have gotten an epic feud with AJ or Sami but we might be getting the f***in Big Show instead. Frustrating. Used to love Dolph but his character is just absolute garbage now a days. And I just don't care about the HoF either way.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) Are we gonna see a Kevin Owens vs Big show match at mania? Ew Looks like it. That'll piss me off more than anything else they've done for Mania. EDIT: Maybe they'll call an audible when they roll through all the big cities the next few weeks. They better.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 02:21 PM) Fuller House was awful. But I'm in my late 20s, so I had to watch. I got to episode 6 and finally threw in the towel. Like you said, I needed to watch it and I kept trying to get through it but I gave up after episode 6.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 02:12 PM) I just think he may not have known the context for why Chris Rock was giving the monologue he gave. I think this is 100 percent what happened. Like I said, not a big deal but he does have to be smarter than this.

It's not a big deal but at the same time he's got to be smarter than that. In this day and age, people are going to run with that.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 28, 2016 -> 08:02 PM) Illinois just got Damonte Williams! Absolute huge get Never felt so old in my life.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Feb 27, 2016 -> 10:55 PM) Fifteen years from now, Steph will be saying the same thing about the guys in the league in 2031. Every generation thinks they were better than the current generation. Probably. But these guys are even more annoying right now because they don't understand the different style of basketball. Oscar's dumbass also compared Steph to some middle of the road bum from back in his day. I hope all the old guys shut up too.

I mean...like...uhhh...ya

They put out the NXT takeover logo today so I decided to go check what the tickets are at on stubhub...cheapest is going for $356. Yeesh.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 06:03 PM) Sure, we could have kidnapped him and forced him to play for the Sox, or drastically overpaid a player after which you would be angry at the production to cost ratio, or the Sox could have magically become the favorite to win the World Series thereby attracting more players. All are legit strategies. Ya, once again we can all make excuses why this team still hasn't signed an outfielder. Every outfielder ever just wanted to stay with their current team, Upton would have been an overpay but the fact remains that Avi is still a starting outfielder on this team. If they really wanted all of these guys they should have been able to land one of them and if they actually want Garcia as our starting rf then there's more wrong with this organization than I thought. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 06:04 PM) The Cubs signed 3 starter FA's for less than they were offered by other teams including Heyward. It matters if your team is a favorite. This is the first time I can remember that a team has been able to grab that many guys on discount whether they're the favorites or not. It's not just that they're the favorite, it has a lot to do with the culture that Maddon, Theo and Jed have created.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 05:54 PM) You can feel however you want. You are being irrational though and people shouldn't take you seriously. lol ok.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) Why? He wanted to play for the Cubs That's nice. Like I said, I don't really give a crap what the reason is. If you want to look at every free agent outfielder individually you can come up with a fine excuse on why said player didn't sign with the Sox but when you miss out on every single one there's a problem somewhere with how you're operating.

I don't give a f*** what the reason is, Sox fans have the right to be pissed off about this.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 23, 2016 -> 05:50 PM) The Sox personal finances should have nothing to do with you judging the price a player recieves on the open market. They are two separate items and need to be looked at as such. A little over 11 million dollars a year for three seasons of a 29 year old Dexter Fowler is something the Sox should have been all over based on value alone, not to mention the glaring need on this team for a RF and a top of the order hitter. Yup.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 23, 2016 -> 03:56 PM) WWE announced that Roman Reigns underwent surgery today in Tampa for a broken nose that was suffered during the brawl with HHH at the end of Raw last night. Not many details were listed in the story at WWE.com. I wonder if they're going to keep him off tv for a few weeks to shield him from the boos. If so that's super sad.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Feb 23, 2016 -> 01:46 PM) This is like if they tried to shove Rocky Maivia down our throats when he first debuted. The fans aren't wanting to be apart of the show, they're just letting the powers that be know that this isn't what they want. They could easily turn him heel, but he sells merch so they won't. They're going to try to "stack the deck" against him at WM, hoping that fans will see the light. They wont. We'll find out how it sounds to hear almost 100,000 people boo a guy after winning the title. Does he sell a ton of merch? Honest question, I've never read that before. Either way, I think this is just VKM being stubborn more than anything else. In other news, why the hell wasn't KO on the show last night?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 23, 2016 -> 06:43 AM) Disagree. His acting is horrendous. He cannot cut a promo. Watch his first backstage promo last night re:Ambrose. So so bad. He can get over when he doesn't talk much and is just a badass. That's not his character anymore though. Agreed. I like watching the guy's matches but he sucks at every other part of pro wrestling. His promos and acting are just so god awful that I can't get behind him.

I didn't get to see a lot of the show tonight but very cool that Shane is back. Please no on an AJ-Jericho team and I heard the main event segment was actually pretty good tonight.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 02:14 PM) Just turn it off come main event time. Still a lot of intrigue on the undercard. Ambrose/Lesnar, Owens, Styles, Kalisto, the women's division(hopefully sans Brie), New Day, etc. etc. I actually agree with you. I can't stand the main event and for the life of me I can't understand how they didn't bring up Enzo and Cass to feud with new day but switching Bray with Dean(if that is indeed the case) to face Brock changes the card big time for me. Brock-Dean, the rumored women's match and AJ-KO gives me 3 matches I can get invested in. Now watch none of those happen.

So what do you guys think the Mania card is going to look like now? HHH-Reigns Ambrose-Brock?(has to be at this point, right?) Taker-Cena I'm thinking but who knows Styles-Owens(might be wishful thinking but Owens is going after him on twitter already) Charlotte-Becky-Sasha Some type of US championship spot fest Andre the giant battle royal New day-who? What else?
