Education is obviously never a bad thing but to be honest I'm not sure how much it would actually help. When you're young and drunk you're just not thinking about this stuff.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 20, 2017 -> 02:38 PM) Yeah it's a good base just think I'd like more players back. I have said it before, I have much less of a stomach for a bulls rebuild now with the white sox and bears where they are. And basketball rebuilds can be so slow. But mainly, I am infuriated by the idea that Gar Forman would be in charge of this trade. With the white sox, I was in support of getting rid of KW/Hahn but also felt that if they started a rebuild it would be a good move and a sign of adjustment toward better decisionmaking. But for the Bulls, this is the mess Forman made. He got his coach. He's drafted this team. He's signed these players. This is his failure. I'd be happy if Bulls fired Forman and new guy still said let's make it work with Butler. But the main problem is this roster construction is SO stupid. Isn't this crap worse for you than a rebuild? I'm not going to argue the Jimmy trade stuff with anyone anymore as everyone knows where I stand on that but years like this and last to me are so much worse than a rebuild. And once again, not speaking for anyone else here but personally I'd much rather take time in a rebuild than sit around the middle of the conference(if we do go for it and get back to that point) since you're never going to be able to luck yourself into a championship in basketball like you can in baseball.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jan 19, 2017 -> 07:30 PM) The scary team is the 76ers. There's a really uncertain NBA rebuild. Meanwhile, the Bucks drafted the Greek Freak and now Philadelphia is way behind them. The Sixers have been bad for a while but I certainly wouldn't say they're way behind the Bucks. When Simmons gets back in a little bit here, they're really going to start looking like a fun, young team. It's taken forever but their awfulness is definitely starting to pay off.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 19, 2017 -> 06:50 PM) I agree with you and I'm very torn. I finally opened up to moving him, but it would take an absurd package, because I still think with Jimmy, you are a lot closer to the top then the bottom and I look at the Lakers, who have largely tanked, and I still see them being a long ways away. If the Lakers can't sign big name FA's when you have a roster of young players, Bulls are going to have an even harder time. ONE OF US ONE OF US

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2017 -> 05:36 PM) Jimmy Butler has been voted a starting guard for the Eastern Conference All Stars. Well deserved.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 19, 2017 -> 04:28 PM) I think the odds are great that at least one or two players emerge in the midst of the mess that next year is going to be as a surprise player. He might be one of them, who the hell knows. I know, shipps, I know.

I bet all of Greg's houses that Avi doesn't have a break out year. At this point I wont even say that I hope I'm wrong because Avi isn't having a break out year, ever.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 19, 2017 -> 02:26 PM) I hate Hall of Fame arguments. To fans, it seems like nobody is ever good enough. Paulie won't get in, but he was good enough IMO. It's hard to get in the Hall. I'm not trying to be an ass here but I would like to hear an argument on why Paulie should be in the Hall. To me, he's not even close so I'd definitely love to hear people's argument on the other side.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 19, 2017 -> 12:56 PM) @PackerReport If this were a regular-season game, Nelson, Adams and Allison probably would not play, MM says. Not sure how the Packers pull this one off on Sunday. Number 12. Not saying they're going to win but when you have that guy you certainly have a good shot.

It's a cage match so cheating is allowed technically so the refs can't do anything. It is rather annoying that GM's and commissioners or whoever always use the well I'm making a cage match so there wont be any interference when you know that absolutely means there is going to be interference. Anywho, I'm a big fan of Mickie so happy she's back.

If we're going to hate on talented, cocky, young kids then this rebuild is really going to be tough.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 01:46 PM) No Lifetime Fitness folks? Not a ton of them in the chicagoland area for most of these folks. For me personally, it's a little out of my price range with the other stuff I do and Club is right by work, Life is not.

I worked at FFC about 4 years ago. I will say, it might be a little pricier overall but for what you get, if you can afford it, it's definitely worth it. And I just signed up at Club Fitness over here. Only a $10 enrollment and $20 a month. Really nice facility right by work, the only thing I don't love is it's definitely more crowded than I would like but I make it work.

Been playing in a basketball league once a week and going to be getting back into some MMA stuff here to supplement my normal work outs. Gotta keep up with Shack!

Favre was also quite the diva and no where near as good as Aaron. I'm not a Bears fan so I don't hate the Packers but I was never a fan of Favre and I love watching Rodgers play.

Owens was super over before they gave him the belt, that's why he got it. The title run has definitely been lackluster but that's cause they're focusing more on him and Jericho than anything else. That's fine as it's been super entertaining but the title has definitely been a secondary story. I love Joe too but that's obviously a subjective thing. The rumor I read today for Styles at Mania is that he might be going against Shane. That'll turn me into super angry I'M QUITTING WRESTLING FOREVER fan.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 15, 2017 -> 07:12 PM) Shouldn't have spiked it on first down. Always great to see the Cowboys lose That drove me nuts. That and kicking the PAT after their first td when they were down 15. That last rodgers throw though...damn.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jan 14, 2017 -> 11:58 PM) They absolutely crippled his development. I've seen a ton of prospects never be the same when rushed. I really hope he can bounce back and the sox take their time with him from here on out. Ya I couldn't disagree with this more. But I've said my piece on this topic numerous times so I'll let it be.

The Sox didn't destroy Fulmer. That's a silly thing to say but whatever. He was definitely disappointing last year, hopefully he has a nice a bounce back season. I'm cool with this list, the one thing that kind of sticks out to me is I think a lot of publications will have Lopez and Kopech flipped. Maybe not that high for Kopech but I see him being around that area where Lopez is around where they have Kopech ranked.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jan 13, 2017 -> 07:51 PM) Back in October my wife and I went to the Price is Right when we were in LA. I ended up being called to "Come on Down", won the bidding, got on stage for a game and won a TV, elliptical, Marc Jacobs handbags, a telescope, and a home vending machine. It was really fun. The episode aired today and of course as I'm in a room full of 20 coworkers ready to see it...right when it was supposed to start, on comes some breaking news report about a police probe that blocks the entire 1 hour show. It was pretty disappointing because I hadn't told any of them anything in the past 3 months except that my wife and I went to see the price is right, it was fun, and that the episode would be on the air on 1/13. Oh well, at least its online. Anyways....I thought this might be an interesting thread for people to share about times they were on game shows, tv shows, or have won contests. Well damn, that's awesome.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 14, 2017 -> 10:06 AM) Also, don't mind me...I've not previously involved myself in this thread...but I will be joining you fine people as of now for some wrestling discussion. I can literally talk about wrestling alllllll day. Just make sure to never change your avatar and we're good.

Congrats Steve! It's funny that you mention that because after my week of New Years binge, I've basically decided to cut myself off from booze until Mardi Gras down here(last weekend of February). Every year I generally cut myself off for a month or so just to get my body right and kill it in the gym for a bit. I'm also really freaking strange when it comes to alcohol, cause I go hard and I mean hard when I go out on Saturday nights but I also rarely drink(well football Sunday's I do) outside of that and unless it's a holiday or something I never drink during the week which completely shocks most people. It really is quite astonishing how different your body will feel.

Ya, I'm pretty pumped about this cast. Should be fun.

All the replay reviews.
