QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 13, 2011 -> 09:40 AM) Rowand, Russ, Heads, How are you guys not 300 pounds? Fixed. Heh, when I was literally living the most unhealthy life style of all time my last few years down in Carbondale, I got up to 230, which was gross. Got back home, worked my ass off in the gym and got down to 170. I obviously don't drink as much as I did in Carbondale and my tolerance has went down a tad but I can still drink like a madman when I want to.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 04:52 PM) Evansville beat Butler I think. Not that Butler will be all too great this year. They did, in a crazy OT game. And ya, if we learned anything from last year, give Brad Stevens some time and Butler can be dangerous, but right now they're not too good at all.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 03:51 PM) Hey, MVC people: How good is Evansville? IU plays them tomorrow night at the Ford Center (brand new arena). I'm assuming they'll be better than Stony Brook and Chattanooga, but not sure how much better. They're quite average, I don't really have a better way to put it. Colt Ryan is a really good player, after that, there isn't too much I'd worry about as an IU fan. UE can probably keep it decently close in the 1st half with IU pulling away in the 2nd.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 12:23 PM) This Lovie "love" is freaking hilarious. The guy is incredibly average at best. His in-game decisions are right up there with Andy Reid. Remove Devin Hester and a top 5 defense for the majority of his tenure and this team misses the playoffs every freaking year. Lovie is the luckiest coach in the league, no one else is even close. Look at some of the impressive wins this year against Atl and now Det. Defensive TO's into points and special teams. Fluke, fluke, fluke. That's the story of the Bears' success during his tenure. That's true for the SB run (mostly fluke) and last years NFC Champ run (all fluke). What the hell?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 01:02 PM) Is Drake maybe looking better than their usual selves? I don't know anything about their team, but maybe they are seen as being tougher this year. Nope.

Not even gonna lie real, you're about as dumb as they come. Listen, I LOVE Manny Pacquiao and I despise Floyd Mayweather, I wont even pretend otherwise. Here's the thing, Manny and JMM was an absolute toss up. I would have had no problem with JMM getting a decision win in this fight, both guys fought their asses off and if JMM won a decision, I would literally just sit back and not say a damn word but now that the Floyd fans are coming out of the wood work is absolutely absurd, do we not remember Manny dominating Hatton and Oscar while Mayweather struggled with them? Common opponents in boxing is so f***in stupid. AND ONCE AGAIN, I believe Floyd is the better fighter, actually there is no doubt in my mind, I would pay a lot of money to see Mayweather get hurt and get hurt bad but he's the best boxer in the world imo, so enjoy trying to go anywhere further with this argument...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 13, 2011 -> 05:15 AM) Hah, I meant what's your excuse for still being awake and on Soxtalk I have no real feeling on the Pitts/Cinci game...Pittsburgh is about a touchdown better in my opinion, so they should cover, but they've been turning the ball over far too much and the Bengals do not, so it might be closer than it should be. I'll pass on it. Challenged to drinking a lot of beer, that's my angle, and wow, sorry for misreading what you meant...

30 of keystone down by myself. Ya, I'm pretty awesome...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 13, 2011 -> 04:58 AM) Yes! I'm stuck at work, so I'm studying today's games... What's your angle? You know what, I'd stay away from this Cinci-Pitt game. I think the Bungles are for real but I actually think Pitt is going to win this game, I know that makes no sense but talk to me in the playoffs i guess?

Q, you're in college, why the f*** you on soxtalk right now? Andrew, you back in NY yet? Shack...go Andy Dalton! And those are the people on ST right now.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 13, 2011 -> 12:47 AM) The Dallas pick is a bit frightening because they always underperform their ypp stats...and they also play for s*** at home, but I am banking on them finally putting together a 60 minute game here against the Bills, who aren't nearly as good on the road as they are at home. It's funny man, cause I honestly barely look at stats at all when it comes to football cause I watch every game, every week, but when you said a couple weeks ago that you thought the Cowboys are one of the better teams in the NFL, I laughed but I actually think you got a safe bet this week. You'll be ok on that one.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Nov 13, 2011 -> 02:37 AM) Cool, cuz compu-box numbers = how to judge a boxing victory JMM outboxed the hell outta him. I really thought he had NO chance, given his advanced age and inferior physical attributes, but his skill and technique truly neutralized manny's speed and power. manny proved that if he cannot show dominance by overpowering and outspeeding, he still does not have the pure boxing to outbox a truly elite boxer still boxing at a high level. JMM's counters were a thing of beauty, and he had the most meaningful power punches of the night, splitting open manny's lip and gashing his brow. Sound gameplan and great skill really rattled manny, leaving him lunging back to try to make something happen after getting hit with combinations. In the end though, nothing short of a knock down or 2 was gonna allow JMM to get that victory, obviously. Wayy too much money at stake for manny to lose. Mayweather is gonna beat him soundly, and the fight will happen for the one obvious reason...$$$$$$$$$$ Might wanna check how Manny got his brow split open again...

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 08:12 PM) I want as many undefeated teams as possible to screw up the lame BCS system. You might get the next best thing possible, a bunch of 1 loss teams...

Heads, Russ, you guys are disappointments. Q, get out of this thread, you're like 14, you're not even old enough to read this s***...

f***in jesus. Look, I've said for years that I've thought Floyd is a better fighter than Manny and I also love Pac and despise Mayweather to the point where I'd pay a lot of money myself to get my ass kicked by Floyd if I could just take a swipe at him. All that being said, JMM did not control this f***in fight tonight, he was no where near robbed, it was a fun fight where the decision could have went either f***in way. Before I saw the stats, I thought it was a toss up and compubox makes it look like it favored Manny, the fact is, it was a very enjoyable fight that could have went either way. I'm also not ignorant enough to believe that these judges weren't swayed by the possible payday but once again, there's absolutely 0 chance that this was a one sided fight, it legitimately could have went either way. Real, you're a biased motherf***er so your opinion literally means jacks***, and sleepy, I respect the f*** out of you, but you're wrong here, nothing else to say at the moment...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) Finally starting to get a handle on this year's NFL season... Hit a big bet last week on the Bears with the Bears ML and over the total. Dallas -5.5 over Buffalo St Louis +3 over Cleveland Denver+150 outright over KC Seattle +7 vs Baltimore Chicago -2.5 over Detroit NYG +3.5 vs SF NE +2 vs NYJ Minnesota +13 vs GB I literally started to quote this to try and argue with one of your bets, and I found nothing I disagree with... EDIT: The only one I'd be kind of skeptical on is the Bears -2.5.

Power punches: Pacquiao 117 of 274 (43 percent) Marquez 100 of 254 (39 percent). Pacquiao landed 176 of 578 punches - 30 percent. Marquez landed 138 of 436 - 32 percent.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Nov 13, 2011 -> 12:02 AM) JMM outboxed him, plain and simple. No he didn't.

Complete toss up there, Manny survives...

Ya, I love MMA as much as anyone but that was a disaster for fox...

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 09:14 PM) This has to be Lowery's last season, doesn't it? No. We are poor and he has years left on his contract, we're stuck and our program is dead.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 09:11 PM) He woulda fouled out in the first half He had 10 and 5 for ISU today, Dillard had 9 dimes on a bad shooting day and Wood is starting for MSU, and we lose to division 2 teams...

We lost to a division 2 team. Awesome.

Keystone I hope?

Is that what you do on a Saturday night?
