QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 06:05 AM) Gonna watch it tonight. It's easily the best brand WWE has right now. I actually only caught the women's title match and the fatal four way and they were both terrific

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 10:06 PM) Gotta feel for the pitcher Friers there too. He was clearly shaken up. Hasn't hit a batter since 2012 then hits Stanton and Reed Johnson in consecutive at bats. Agreed. That could be a career changer for both guys.

f*** Owen Daniels.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 09:26 PM) Jesus. Do they allow tackling anymore? One, if not two, awful personal foul calls on the Steelers there. I thought both of those calls sucked.

NXT is indeed awesome.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 06:02 PM) Pedro in 2000. QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 06:04 PM) Pedro in 2000 had an ERA of 1.74. That was an ERA plus of (get ready...) 291. Sale's ERA+ is "only" 190. Pedro Martinez is possibly the greatest pitcher of all time. You check his B-Ref page and it blows you away. Dude was dominating during the steroid era, just filthy. Had a feeling it was Pedro. And ya, he was something else. Thanks guys.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 05:48 PM) It'd be cool to have Chris finish with an era below 2. Speaking of which, does anyone know the last time an AL pitcher has done that?

It'd be cool to have Chris finish with an era below 2.

Had to post this picture for scs.

So I got nominated to do the ice bucket challenge a few weeks back which I did but my buddy's wife recorded it and never put it on facebook. Anyways, I just got a call on my direct line at work that said "Our records indicate that you were nominated to do the ice bucket challenge and have not yet completed it..." Facebook's crazy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 11:58 AM) I feel the exact opposite. Sometimes it feels like Cutler is to blame for global warming and war in the middle east. I think it's went both ways during his time in Chicago.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 06:48 PM) Of course, you need bigger names than Olbermann and Sage Rosenfels calling for your resignation/firing. Heads are you going to allow this?

So Spain got beat by France today.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 05:16 PM) Thanks for the information. After 10+ years I was pretty confident you wouldnt say something like that unless you were almost positive (obviously nothing is for certain in life). Thank you, sir, I do appreciate that. Not that I was breaking any surprise news or anything but hey it was fun to be in the know for once. QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 05:17 PM) I'm not sure but they are actually in on a couple kids from Texas in this class (Evans and Thomas). QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 05:18 PM) No special connection as far as I know. Groce recognized the talent early and has been on him hard since the summer before Evans' Soph year if I'm remembering right. The ability to offer the keys to what should be a pretty talented roster to a kid as a freshman is a pretty strong selling point. Gotcha. Didn't know if he had some connection in Texas or something.

What's the connection that Groce/Illinois has to Evans?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 9, 2014 -> 09:16 PM) Supposedly Sean O'Haire has passed away at 43 http://uproxx.com/sports/2014/09/former-wc...es+%28Uproxx%29 Suicide. Damn.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 01:34 PM) I find it hard to believe that he told friends or teachers before making the decision and that they would leak it beforehand. If that's the case, why hold the press conference? Just commit to Nova while your're there. He told his coaches. I wouldn't believe a random person on the internet either but I wasn't lying.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 02:31 PM) Last night BB may have been the worst in series history. Yawn. But if Frankie ends up getting evicted tonight, it'll be better in retrospect. Cody, Caleb, and a Frankie just aren't funny or entertaining and they're trying to be. I actually found Caleb and Cody trying to kill the button amusing.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 01:32 PM) And to be clear, i'm not saying the Bears should have kept McCown in favor of not re-signing Cutler. I'm just saying people need to stop with this "hope" nonsense that he's going to become some player he's not. He has good games, he has bad games. And rarely if ever are the good games against good teams. He's never going to be an elite qb but imo he can absolutely lead the Bears to a superbowl.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 01:13 PM) With the timing, smart money would seem to be on Villanova. However, I'm with Henricksen: everybody is in the dark with this recruitment, so who knows exactly what Jalen is going to do? A couple people at the school know now. Not trying to be cool guy with a "source" but it's Nova.

I just like it cause it could really f*** over Frankie.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 12:47 PM) Holy s*** Chris Broussard posts on soxtalk? Nah, I don't hate gay people.

It's Nova for Brunson.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Sep 9, 2014 -> 06:17 PM) I hate Illinois, but your "source" blows. That's the dumbest thing I've ever read. That's like me saying "I'm so excited for the direction of Indiana's basketball program under Tom Crean!"… It's stupid. It's not dumb at all. It might be illogical to grown adults but Brunson and Alexander are very close friends and to say that an 18 year old kid was bothered about how fans treated a friend of his is not a stretch at all.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Sep 9, 2014 -> 12:38 PM) On a lighter note, the Bulls make the top 5 of Zach Lowe's NBA court design power rankings. He says "a lot of people would put this at no. 1, and that’s fine." Gotta say, that new Hornets design at number 3 looks really slick. I've just always loved the Hornets color scheme, hard to mess up. That does look pretty awesome though.
