I really think Basketball as a whole has a long way to go to match the enthusiasm of college football fans.

If you happened upon a magical genie who allowed you to choose a sport, and you would be the best who ever played, what would you choose? Sport: Team: Position (if applicable):

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 11:32 AM) Post it. I'd like to hear it. When I get home from work I will see if I can figure it out. I have never done something like that before.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 11:11 AM) All soxfan IT workers should strive to add this "service" to their company. Our IT just killed the virtual waiting room.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 11:08 AM) If tyson adds some muscle, starts going strong to the hoop instead of flailing his arms, stops being worthless on offense, and cuts down on the stupid fouls, and becomes consistent, I won't dislike him so much. Easy as that. He's capable, but I still question his mental capacity. Here's hoping I'm wrong, but I'm not gonna slurp him because I think he's possibly capable of it someday. uh oh. *takes cover and waits for the personal attacks*

I thought you werent posting in this thread anymore? Needed that last word perhaps? Funny part is, I like Tyson, and I am glad that for the last 11 games he has earned his money.

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 09:41 AM) They claim they wont without warning. Thats like saying, "they wont cut off your arm without warning."

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 09:43 AM) LMAO haha The best part is, I still have the interview on Tivo, I should post it.

s***, please dont turn off my blackberry.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 09:16 AM) I always wondered who the idiots were that actually believed the interviews were serious. Now, I'm kind of saddened to learn that our governor is one of them. Hes a cubs fan.

Granted this particular case involves a troll of a teacher. But so many of these involve good looking and downright hot teachers. Where was that crap when I was in HS?

QUOTE(quickman @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 10:35 PM) Which part Rock? Gload is horrible in the outfield and the sox really don't need to carry 3 first baseman. Quite frankly I do not understand why people are enamored with this guy. He is not needed on this team. I really don't understand Ozzie saying that he is on the team right now. Completely senseless. What message is that sending to the others? I personally think with a good spring Ben grieve makes this team. I am not a fan of Grieve but in my opinion he is the same guy as gload but better in the outfield. ( I know he bats right handed) He was brought in for a reason, and it was not to push Borchard, who will be gone by the end of spring training. If Grieve has a lousy spring than maybe Gload stays but its just not a match. Gload and Grieve are both terrible in the OF. I think Borchards defense is what will land him on the roster. The Sox brass have been looking for a way to get rid of Gload, now that he is out of options he is on his way out.

BTW, the do not call list for your cell phone is a must.

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 08:22 PM) the noncompete was 2 yrs and his last date was 12/21/04. on a side note, the original customer worked with this company before it was sold on 12/1/04. my ex-employee went to this competitor post-sale and took this customer with him. i've been told that the non compete was enforceable but who really knows? Its almost impossible to prove that he stole a sale or a customer. He could have attached someone else's name to the deal, etc. I have run across this before, many times in my line of work.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 05:02 PM) Guys...no more banter back and forth about that. Personal attacks aren't tolerated. Debate facts but don't call each other names. BTW, there is only ONE person making this discussion difficult.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 05:00 PM) Christ. Kirk said Tyson is our MVP period. He didn't preface it with "Well, if Tyson plays like this every night..." You didn't see the interview. You're just making s*** up, and who the hell knows why. I have the game and postgame still on my tivo if you would like to watch it. They also showed it on sportsnight s couple of times. Thats what Kirk said, and I agree with him. he made a large difference in the game last night. Your immaturish approach towards everything tyson chandler is getting a bit old. You are not the only person who watches the bulls, and you arent the authority on the NBA. Who knows if you even played basketball at any point in your life. Just move on with your arguments, you will soon realize that expressing your opinions that way will make you more enemies than friends.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 04:29 PM) I like Gload, but your bench can't just be about bats. With the Sox likely to carry 12 pitchers, you only have 4 bench spots to cover the diamond. Widger, Mack and Ozuna are your 3 in. Who is the fourth? He needs to play OF, and Gload doesn't seem to be that good out there. Do you want Gload playing OF 2 or 3 times a week? Because that is what that roster slot would be doing. But like I said, if he shows up in camp and can show he is defensively at the same level or similar to Borch in the OF, then I'm all for keeping him instead of Borch. I just think that is unlikely. I cant even express how much I agree with this post.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 04:19 PM) LOL. C'mon, Balta. If you're a true Sox fan, and I know you are, they could sign Osama Bin Ladin and I know you could never turn your back on the Sox. I know I couldn't. s***, I would buy an Osama authentic head wrap for the games, with sewn on "bin laden" on the back

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 04:49 PM) Should be a great battle between Gload and Borchard for that final OF spot. It can go either way. ST will be interesting this year. In the cages, perhaps. As soon as they start trying to catch a ball and hit the cut off man, the contest is over.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 03:44 PM) Toronto??? I hate you.

QUOTE(q\/\/3r+y @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 03:39 PM) Also, if first base not that important in the grand scheme of things, how many more errors do you think the sox would have had if someone like frank thomas was playing first base the last 3-4 years every day? Do you know how many balls konerko has to pick out of the dirt because of crede and uribe? Hell even iguchi was wild as f*** and he has the shortest distance to throw. A very good first baseman ( rather have the picking abilities than versatility at first) saved our ''great'' defense too many times to count. All in all teams have worse options than ross gload backing up first but he is only needed if a long term injury occurs very soon. Name me a team that carries three 1B. Hes worthless to us.

QUOTE(GLOAD is GOD @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 03:17 PM) Let's be honest now, is anyone not a fan of Ross Gload....please Im not, hes worthless.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 08:40 AM) I've seen him throw 100 mph the gun was wrong then. He cant touch 100 mph

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 01:32 PM) I knew you'd pipe up soon on this one. How could I forget my first big argument on this board? Especially with you here to remind me. Good question. Anyone know if he is out of options? I was actually surprised Ozzie said anything positive about Gload. He is the worst Of'er on the team however, and I dont think he will make the team.

Jabroni=article posting whore!!!
