BUT WHAT'S THE ROCK GOING TO BE DOING?!?!?!? Anywho, I gotta stop complaining about this s***. I'm going to enjoy the rumble and I'll be back to complain Sunday night when I'm unhappy!

The Knicks have been a mess since I can honestly remember. It's been a long f***in time.

If money is the issue for the Nats to include a good prospect or two then the Sox better be willing to pick up some dough. There's no reason for them not to.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 03:10 PM) Say it ain't NO JOE. Not a fan. Blah. Ha, ya you made that clear before. I'm a big fan though so that's all that matters.

If I had to choose someone that I'd want to win the rumble I'd go: Sami or Samoan Joseph. Sami-KO or AJ-Joe would be lovely if I had my way. Vince can have his old people and big people matches with out the titles.

Ya, calling Robertson bad is just wrong.

My completely out of the box winner for the rumble, don't think it'll happen but wouldn't be completely shocked if it does is Baron Corbin.

I'll agree to disagree on Niko, unless we're actually giving him to Pop I don't see him doing much anywhere. And we've had the conversation on Fred before so I wont add much but I will say that I'm certainly not going to shed a tear if they let him go but I don't think anyone is coming into this mess and turning it around.

And Kopech has the super high ceiling that law likes. He'll be in the top 20.

I honestly can't say the Bulls have ruined Niko, this guy was just never good. He had one good month his rookie year and everyone kind of wents nuts about him. Besides that, he's been bad the whole time.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 09:25 AM) 2. I hate that Brock is being lumped in with Taker and Goldberg, 2 old guys who can barely move and seem uncoordinated. If you asked me 2 years ago I would have thought it'd be a crazy thing to say too. But I can't even remember the last time Brock has done anything remotely interesting to be honest.

Ya, like I said, I get why they're doing it and I know other people like it but it's not for me. They're all pretty awful at this point of their careers(well Goldberg always sucked) and I personally have no interest in any of them. EDIT: And I'm not complaining about it honestly. They can have their Brock/Goldberg match, I'm just worried about where the rest of this mania card is going.

There's a nice little video of Wade half assing it down the court on defense and then he blasts everyone after the game for effort.

Hope everyone is right but they definitely at least started to plant the seeds for it on Talking Smack. Doesn't mean it's going to happen but it's there. On another note, Omega is starting to play into the WWE rumors now. Doesn't mean anything as he's a master promoter but it's at least interesting how he's done a 180 in the last few weeks.

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jan 25, 2017 -> 07:10 PM) Who's his guy? Whiskey. I'll see myself out.

So I may or may not have jacked up my knee during my basketball league last Monday which is fun. I couldn't run on it all of last week so I was finding other ways to get some cardio in as well as doing mostly upper body lifts. Played in my game this week and was fine but went to run on it again yesterday and had to stop because it was so painful. No clue what's going on as I've never really been hurt but it's annoying ha.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 25, 2017 -> 12:05 PM) Jones is literally the only other guy who has any trade value who is still on this team. We KNOW for a fact that the Sox have talked with teams about trading at least Frazier, Abreu, and Robertson, and have been met with no interest at all from teams. Logic tells me that there are very likely a whole lot of other discussions we don't know about. Of course they've talked to other teams. There's no GM in baseball that's just going to turn off his phone and not listen to offers but that doesn't mean they're actively trying to trade them either. I'm not going to pretend to know what value these guys have but I'm sure Dave, Todd and Jose at least have some value especially if we're willing to pick up a bit of the tab on some of these guys. And once again, I'm not ready to buy into the bad apple theory yet but so far that is all that has happened.

If people want to believe the "only trading bad apples" theory they can certainly point to the fact that Jones, Robertson, Frazier, etc are still on the team as well, it's not just the fact that they haven't traded Q. Like I said, I'm not completely buying into that theory yet but so far they haven't done anything to prove that wrong either.

There's so many wildcards when it comes to predicting the Sox record too. Who knows when/ if we see Moncada, Gio, Lopez. Maybe they're all fantastic right from the get go or maybe they're all complete garbage right away. Who the hell knows.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 25, 2017 -> 11:35 AM) It just didn't come together as a movie for me. They kinda sorta explain why they put together the SS in the first place, but it's very loose. Then all the sudden, wouldn't you know it, they are needed.....to fight a villain we know NOTHING about, what the motive is, and why we should care. I still don't really understand what the motive of the Joker was either, how he really fit into anything. I liked when the team all sort of came together at the end, there were some solid scenes, but I just found myself not invested in anything, it was all over the place. Thing is, I agree with pretty much all of your critiques. That said, it was pretty much just a stupid, mindless action movie for me that I found enjoyable. I said it in the DC thread but this one kept me entertained while BvS I found ridiculously boring to go on top of the stupid ass story.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 25, 2017 -> 11:30 AM) They didn't just trade Eaton and Sale and stop. They haven't added anything. This an unfounded, completely idiotic opinion. You can be upset that more hasn't happened but coming up with fake narratives doesn't make sense. So far that's exactly what they've done. I don't think(at least I hope not) that they're done but considering the fact that they have only made those two trades so far, it's kind of ridiculous to call someone's opinion idiotic over it.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jan 25, 2017 -> 10:55 AM) Its all in the spin. They can say "we just added another four players to our young core including two top 25 prospects", that would be a pretty positive take away for most fans. Given the positive fan reaction of the two trades so far, I don't think they'd have any problem doing that. Once again, I don't think Soxfest has any bearing on a trade either way.

Quick Smackdown thoughts: Styles and Cena are awesome. Mickie, Alexa and Becky are awesome. As amazing as Talking Smack is with DB it's just as bad with Shane. And it really seems like they're planting the seeds for Styles-Shane and that still pisses me off more than anything.

Ya, I highly doubt Soxfest has anything to do with anything on the trade market. I know there's been a time or two where they've announced a signing around Soxfest but I don't think it's going to slow things down or speed things up on the trade front.
