QUOTE (Tony @ Nov 22, 2017 -> 12:21 PM) LaVar Ball is incredibly intelligent, at least from a street smart perspective. To build a brand like he has in this sports/digital/political climate is very difficult, and he somehow got the President of the United States involved. He knows EXACTLY what he is doing. He is an incredible showman and hasn't made too many missteps yet. He could make the Ball Family like the Kardashians, basically building a brand from nothing.. Absolutely 100 percent correct. I can't stand the dude but there's no denying any of this. And I hate to admit this but I found that CNN interview incredibly entertaining.

Really we should all just call Brian at work.

Never brag! Wait, that's not true, I brag all the time.

Think it's more likely that they might be moving towards a Women's rumble. We'll see. Liv is going to die a death on the main roster cause she well sucks...sorry Brian. Ruby is a great in ring talent and she can talk so hopefully they actually let her use the mic. Logan is talented too and works pretty well as the muscle in a group. Pretty surprised at this point that Peyton and Billie aren't up but maybe they go into the next feud for the title in NXT, I don't know. Their act is perfect for the main roster.

Looks like we'll get out early today so that's nice. I legit have nothing to do today so Soxtalk it is.

Everyone have to work tomorrow?

I guarantee the 76ers don't care that they passed on any of the mediocre players that went after him just because he missed two years. Teams aren't going to pass on Porter unless it is pretty clear the back injury will take away a lot of his athleticism. Ya, this.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Nov 21, 2017 -> 02:25 PM) I just don't think that's how the Sox will view based on Covey and Nieto. But yea, in theory. Covey is still around so for some reason they seem to just like him. Nieto was somehow the best option at the time and wasn't embarrassing himself in the majors. I see the point you're trying to make, I just don't agree with it.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Nov 21, 2017 -> 02:17 PM) Do not pick up any guys in the rule 5. We don't need a 25 man spot wasted all year when there will be numerous higher upside vets looking for playing time come late Jan and early Feb. Keeping a 25 man spot open for a veteran will almost certainly (imo) find a higher upside asset come late winter that is actually flippable at the deadline if they perform. It's not like you're automatically stuck with the dude all year if he doesn't produce. If there's a guy you like in the rule 5, there's absolutely no reason not to take him.

QUOTE (Tony @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 05:41 PM) But the debate is him being selected and placed on an MLB roster for the entire year, correct? With where we're at as a franchise and with what a lot of teams are doing these days, I just want to protect are talented assets. Chances are Basabe wouldn't have been selected but he's a talented dude and it only takes one team to take that chance. We have some dead weight on the 40 man, there's no reason not to protect some of these guys imo.

Until Buffy slays it.

Quit your bickering you two.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 03:22 PM) Clarkin, really? Nobody was going to pick that guy. Definitely disagree here. Don't like not protecting Guerrero though.

Very cool.

That Main Event was the biggest pile of s*** that I can remember. Sucks cause for me it really overshadowed a solid overall ppv.

The wide range of opinions on Kopech’s character/who he is as a person since we’ve got him has been fun.

Still has never been a bad Takeover. Incredible show. Black-Dream is on my short list for MOTY right now.

Why oh why do we continue to let heads and wite post on this site?

Only fantasy football teams people care about are mine!

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 17, 2017 -> 12:19 PM) You must be watching an Ohno match. #Heel You must have never watched one.

Easy not to do with Uber and Lyft these days. Not sure why anyone would.

Can't wait to binge drink this weekend.

Yawn.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 17, 2017 -> 08:56 AM) Should punt OhNo vs Lars for Dunne vs Gargano on Takeover though. Aren't Dunne and Gargano too short for you to like anyways?

This is actually the most excited for a wrestling weekend I've been in a long time. Lots of acts I actually care about in important matches in the E and the ROH stuff. Should be a good time.
