Wished it had happened in a Bears uniform, but glad he did it. +1. It was time for him to go but love that he is reengerized. Was always a pretty good soldier.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 18, 2014 -> 01:55 PM) Thought about doing something new and different over New Years' week this year. We've never taken the kids (will be 6 and 2.5 then) on a beach vacation type thing, to get some warmth during the winter. So I priced out what it would cost to go to one of those Beaches resorts in like the Bahamas, all-inclusive. They have double rooms so the kids have a semi-seperate room, tons of activities, all that stuff. HOLY BEJEEBUS. The cost for a week for the four of us, not including airfare, was either $23,000 or $17,000, depending on whether or not you got an ocean view. You have got to be kidding me. This wasn't a super high-end room either, this was the lowest level that had that double room. It goes UP from there. So since that is a big fat No F'in Way... anyone here with younger kids do any snow bird sort of trips in winter, to places tropical or beachy? Any recommendations that don't cost A CAR? Looking for a place that would be warm enough that time of year to actually hit the beach maybe, if possible. I'd settle for just warm though. Yeah you need to do way more research than that. It takes me weeks of checking and re-checking, plus the Beaches resorts arent that great. I would take a Secrets brand vacation in PV over those ones.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 18, 2014 -> 03:12 PM) Marshall's press conference was brutal. No idea why that took place. I was fine with him getting his POV out there. We all knew about the abuse years ago, the lawyer and ESPN digging it back up was messed up.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 02:26 PM) Gloria Allred hosting a press conference with past allegations of domestic violence against Brandon Marshall. Well, didnt we all know this happened?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 01:29 PM) OMG A COLLEGE STUDENT SAID SOMETHING IGNORANT. I CANTS BELIEVES IT. This is seriously just looking for stuff to complain about. This is almost as bad as TMZ following Manziel around frat houses looking for him to do something stupid. The only example Winston has to set is to his teammates on the field, he isnt a role model He's not really a "college student" though. And if a typical college student stood up on a table and shouted that in a dining hall they would probably still get in trouble. One that is on probation for things like shoplifting, accused rape among other things, yeah it makes sense.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 03:04 PM) That the crowd was staged CBS employees. They do it every year around this time for taped evictions so no spoilers leak, but he doesn't believe us. Oh yeah, I just assumed that was common knowledge. They've done it for awhile.

QUOTE (SouthSidePride05 @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 01:00 PM) Where are you guys getting your info? Until I see a link from a credible source, I'm not buying it. I definitely agree this won't be the last we'll see from Frankie. He's obviously a very polarizing figure and can easily boost ratings if he goes on Survivor or Amazing Race. Probably both. I remember most fans hated Rachel when she first appeared on BB, but her giant personality got her on another season of BB and 2 seasons of Amazing Race. Not buying what?

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 12:50 PM) Where's soxfan1 to come in again to say "this just isn't like him, I don't think he'd do that, he's a good guy" You are 100% correct, he's a complete clown. I wonder what he will do next?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 11:15 AM) Does anyone know of a device that will rebroadcast an over-the-air TV signal wirelessly? I have an antenna in my attic, but no coax runs to my basement. Is there something I could connect one of the antenna lines to that would re-transmit the signal to a receiver in my basement? Look up wireless coax. There are several solutions I've seen.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 11:46 AM) Come on he is just a kid. Picked a bad week to do that although with the championship and it only being a half I am sure FSU will not miss a beat. Are you kidding, he will bring them back to win and will I'm sure feel horrible about the punishment while basking in the glory.

QUOTE (SouthSidePride05 @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 10:26 AM) If they were all CBS employees, which is highly unlikely, then they were all there for Christine's exit as well. Everyone was kind of baffled why she received the loudest boos in BB history. I was thinking about this the other day.. if they were affiliated with CBS, they were basically saying this behavior is unacceptable on our show and future married HGs better be careful. They don't want marriages destroyed on BB. It was because it was taped. Aaryn's was all employees because she was racist, so they have tempered the audience per houseguest before. Frankie was never going to get booed as they have some sort of vested interest in his sister's career.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 16, 2014 -> 03:46 PM) But still, no such thing as a "guarantee to play well into the tournament." Now you're saying make tournament. Different. Well, thats what I meant. High seed, almost always in. Those schools are killing it in recruiting players right from under our noses. Granted we do it to them in football but its getting annoying.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 16, 2014 -> 02:47 PM) So not a guarantee. As much of one as possible. Kentucky shows them their titles, their NBA picks and then how much they make the tourney Then a tour of the bball only dorm which is better than any one in the country and its over. Kansas has been a bit more creative in their pursuits, but the NBA thing seems to be a main pitch.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 16, 2014 -> 01:06 PM) I'm sorry, guarantee? Yeah right. As much of a guarantee as you could possibly have, yes.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 16, 2014 -> 11:49 AM) Isn't that kid of yours wearing you out yet? Not quite yet, but once he becomes mobile I am sure he will. Luckily the pool is still open at the club so my wife is getting some serious use out of it.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 13, 2014 -> 10:54 PM) Yeah. I haven't played yet without friends. I don't see why I'd ever bother. Hmm maybe ill pick this up

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 16, 2014 -> 09:24 AM) As I mentioned last week, I just recently started my routine again. While I have been walking the golf course 2-3 times a week, I felt like I was starting to get a little too soft in my core and upper body, and I want to improve those things for my golf game, as well as just because I enjoy being fit. Have done 5 workouts now, as well as playing football for 2.5 hours on Saturday and 9 holes of walking the course. Diet has stayed stable, with the addition of a few healthy snacks here and there, but nothing major. I expected to drop about 5-10 pounds, as this is what usually happens when I first begin the routine again. Surprisingly, however, I have actually put on 3-5 pounds in the last 9 days. I am somewhat surprised....seems a bit fast to be adding muscle, but it sure as hell isn't fat. I think once your body builds muscle over a consistent period of time, even if you take a few months off, it tends to rebuild very quickly once you resume. At least I hope this is what is going on... Golf season has really ruined my fitness routines. My game is a lot better but the 19th hole/outings etc has really softened me up.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 12, 2014 -> 07:03 PM) Yes but you oractice every day against higher quality players. Plus you get exposure at these schools you don't get at the others which leads to bigger shoe contracts and other endorsements. It obviously is a big deal to these guys. They normally all go to the same few schools. How about a guarantee to play well into the tournament, which leads to serious exposure. They also like TV time, so more prime time games is a HUGE plus. Those are giant selling points and thats why those schools reload instead of rebuild.

10 second run off is stupid.

PSU better send a thank you card to Rutgers QB.

So many close games so few tvs

Whatever Florida and Kentucky are doing I'm fairly certain it's not football.
