QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 24, 2011 -> 07:16 AM) Gimme a break. Just worked a 10 hour shift.. Tired... then again.. that is my style of posting. This brings me back to the old days of the late night soxtalk crew. Crazy times. Annnnnd going to bed. The good ol' days...

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 09:41 PM) Lol...you are ridiculous and you continue to overrate prospects. The Nationals won 1 more game than the White Sox last year. You haven't shut up about how bad the Sox are and how we have no chance, but now the big, bad Nationals are coming for everyone in one of the f***est toughest divisions in baseball. Obviously their pitching will be a lot better with Strasburg back for a full season and the addition of Gio (although he'll regress outside of Oakland), but their offense still sucks IMO. So basically you're assuming prospects like Harper and Rendon will develop into stars and lead the Nationals into the promiseland despite having to overcome three teams that are currently better at the moment. I don't see it happening, but I'm not surprised you do. J4L is out of his mind at times but comparing the Nats situation to the Sox situation is just as insane.

Barkley would have been a top 10 pick. His stock has never been higher and imo a little too high, tad overrated as a NFL prospect at this point in my view.

If not for Heath Ledger is Joker number 1?

Ya, I would have absolutely never fouled in that situation.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 10:17 AM) The best thing about this extension is that I sound like I have inside sources to my friends, as I texted them about the rumor as soon as I heard it I do that all the time considering Twitter and/or Soxtalk will always get a hold of something well before 99 percent of the public know.

To be fair I only see 3 title contenders in the NBA as a whole.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 09:46 AM) The West is an incredible conference again this year, I wouldn't throw around that the winner of the heat/bulls matchup will win the championship just yet. It's deep but the only team that's a legit title contender imo is OkC

QUOTE (SnB @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 09:38 AM) So what do you wear to an internal psuedo job interview (that's actually being called a meeting)? I have met everyone I'm interviewing with and we've discussed the opportunity already. I feel like showing up in a suit would make me feel ridiculous. Joe Crede jersey.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 22, 2011 -> 01:23 AM) I've seen enough. The Clippers are a legitimate championship contender. Oh my goodness. Forget about Blake Griffin for a second. What planet is DeAndre Jordan from? How can you be that f***ing athletic at his size? He, IMO, will be the second best C in basketball when it's all said and done. The Clippers are the new Showtime. Man, your opinions are just always wrong in this thread.

Skip Bayless should not have a job, period.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 21, 2011 -> 08:30 AM) $94.8 million. Basically an average of $19 mil a year. Can he just have the 94 mil and I'll take the .8?

QUOTE (TheCut87 @ Dec 18, 2011 -> 09:04 PM) Rodgers wasnt the only one in that game to have a sub-par performance, i dont even remember how many passes were dropped by recievers and the defense couldn't get the big turn over that they have been getting week in and week out, i don't mind this loss it is a good wake up call for the packers going into the playoffs. I was working so I didn't get to watch but I was told that Aaron was just fine but the receivers completely let him down...

QUOTE (kev211 @ Dec 17, 2011 -> 09:32 PM) Yeah, he's been doing really well so far in the D league. Kid can definitely score. Too bad he's a 2 guard in a point guards body.

BTW, I was cleaning out my room at my dads house the other day because he's moving in a few months and I happened to find scouting reports that I had written on like the top 30 teams from the 2009-2010 season, I had forgot that I did that and remembered how big of a nerd I was.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Dec 17, 2011 -> 09:00 PM) I saw them last year in Evanston where they had several of these guys and really only McDermott was particularly impressive. Obviously they have Echinique and Gibbs now and some of them have gotten better so I realize it's not the exact game. I'm not counting this as a win in the bag by any stretch. There's a difference between saying they can "compete" with them and saying they'd finish second in a deep, strong conference. They smoked Iowa and beat Nebraska by 10, but neither of those teams is exactly the cream of the Big Ten crop. They're 55th in Pomeroy right now because they're giving up a ton of points per possession. Even Northwestern has a higher defensive efficiency so far, which isn't exactly a ringing endorsement. I'd take my chances with Wisconsin and Indiana since they're about as efficient offensively so far and are giving up a lot fewer points. After that everyone has been a little more hit or miss, which is why I said if NU can win this game I'd feel a lot better about them against teams like Purdue, Illinois and Michigan State. That's why I said compete over a full season and not just one game. I'm not sure if I'd take them over Wiscy or IU BUT I certainly think it'd be a possibility that they would finish 2nd.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Dec 17, 2011 -> 08:40 PM) I wouldn't go THAT far. Offensively they can hang, but they're 182nd in defensive efficiency so far (through Friday) and lost to a fairly middling St. Joe's team. However, they are a near lock tournament team and will probably win the MVC. If NU could win there, I'd feel a lot better about their chances against the middle tier of the Big Ten. Watch them play before you decide that, they're really f'n good. Besides OSU there isn't a team in the B10 that they wouldn't be able to compete with over the course of a full season. Doug McDermott is a flat out baller.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 17, 2011 -> 08:05 PM) Creighton could possibly be the 2nd best team in the Big 10 if they played in the conference this year. They're fantastic. I still believe they're the best Valley team since the 07 Salukis. The MVC should be back to being a 3-4 bid league this year and Creighton, WSU and InSU could all make some noise in the tourny, the league is definitely back after a few year hiatus, if only SIU didn't fall off the map.

Butler was a solid ft shooter in college.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 17, 2011 -> 07:19 PM) Is he crying to the refs as much as he did in high school? Not a big fan of that family.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 17, 2011 -> 05:26 PM) This UNLV/Illini game is so ugly. UNLV's shooting on these tight rims is comical. UNLV has been that type of team for yrs but it works.

Take that NIU!

I don't know.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 17, 2011 -> 09:10 AM) A lot can happen in 34 minutes QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 17, 2011 -> 10:21 AM) Oh I know, it was the juxtaposition of the excitement and anticipation with the simple statement of letdown and disappointment with no one else's posts in between. Haha hope you guys know me good enough to realize that was sarcasm...

QUOTE (The Critic @ Dec 13, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) Rumor is Jericho. The dirt sites claim he'll go against Punk at Mania. Color me excited for a war of words between Punk and Jericho! After seeing this last Video on SD unless the E is just 100 percent trying to swerve people, it's absolutely Jericho, way too many hints in there.
