QUOTE (farmteam @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 02:43 PM) Apparently Roby got arrested in Bloomington for trying to start a bar fight. Actually for harming a bouncer. What a moron I don't get why college athletes drink, wait till you are a millionaire. Urban also booted a freshman OL from Indiana. -

QUOTE (Boogua @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 11:12 AM) So it looks like Carlos Hyde is getting dismissed from the Ohio State football team and Bradley Roby was arrested yesterday morning. The Buckeyes chances of winning a title this year look like they might take a hit. Roby-huge hit, All American candidate. Hyde-not nearly as much. The RB stable is REALLY REALLY deep. -

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 11:12 AM) Wait, players who play for Urban Meyer got arrested? I know, he should have been there right? The starting RB was dismissed, if anything thats a positive trait of Urban. Zero tolerance. -
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 17, 2013 -> 09:07 AM) With the current salary cap, that's the only way to do it. Hold on to your top talent, everyone else is expendable. It's why Pittsbugh has five guys talking up almost half their cap, it's why Anaheim gave Getzlaf & Perry so much cash. We have alot of similarities with the wings dynasty (top center/captain, top D men, etc)

This is the End was fantastic, I may go see it again

An HJ? Really? Classic. The young cast has made hookups alot more prevalent. Kaitlin and Jeremy f*** every night.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 15, 2013 -> 06:04 PM) Maybe I am between a rock and a hard place, but I honestly feel lucky having a baby daughter, and I do believe I have a wonderful girlfriend, I just need to do a better job with priorities and I think both of us need to focus on giving positive attention to each other. We focus on the baby and rightfully so. And Rock, thanks for the input. I definitely want to keep this little family I have going intact and hopefully counseling can help give us a better chance at making this work. At the end of the day its all about compromise, understanding and honesty. Once any of those things starts to take a hit so does the relationship. Women are horrible at being honest, men are horrible at compromise. If she can tell you honestly when things upset her you'll probably do a better job trying to alleviate those things. Of course you need your time to yourself as well and working out for an hour a day should be pretty reasonable IMO.

Back to back 92's this weekend, not great but mostly due to penalties.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 15, 2013 -> 09:35 AM) It does, but now I wonder if he comes back, does he pick up on his original contract? How exactly does that work? He wont. He makes more in 4 years in the KHL than he would have in the duration of his 12 year contract in the US>

Has there been a worse group of girls on BB than Aaryn, kaitlin and GM? CBS has NEVER had to put a disclaimer before an episode like that.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 15, 2013 -> 08:30 AM) Yeah I agree that's more important than a softball game, just didn't like how she said I didn't need to be there after the rehearsal was going on. And I realize there needs to be sacrifices made. I know we all have to make sacrifices for the good of the whole, however, it sounds like your communication is to the point where there is resentment behind every decision made in your lives. Thats a pretty horrible sign. Counseling is a great idea as it may be the only one to reset. IMO at the end of the day your significant other should be the easiest one to talk to and should be the #1 person on your "team." Good luck, keeping a family together IMO is paramount if the relationship has a chance to work.

Turns out they do rope off the logo

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 11:14 AM) More HGs telling her that production is asking what they think of her racist comments and she just keeps ignoring them. She deserves what she gets. She also thinks she'll be invited back in future seasons. Too funny. Controversial+Hot, she probably will.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 10:48 AM) You don't have to go Apple, just use iTunes in Windows and get an AppleTV for like 90 bucks. He could always do windows media sever and Roku as well. Same type of client/server architecture with the added benefit of the apps on those sets.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 10:46 AM) Comerica's HQ is now in Dallas. And it's not like there is a lack of young, cheap talent in the area. You have both UMich and Mich State that could funnel some of the brightest graduates into the city but there isn't enough to keep them around. Quicken is pretty interesting, from what I was told they hire hundres if not thousands of interns every summer from a lot of the state colleges. I have no idea what their intern to fulltime rate is but it's an interesting strategy. Yeah I still work with IT in detroit (luckily) but that was a big loss. Quicken has like 15 companies under them including Fat Head etc and they bring in alot of young talent (the office looks like google). He already has roughly 4 buildings full of them downtown around the compuware building.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 10:39 AM) The Detroit government has screwed that city up so much, just look at this f***tard. Governor Granholm was another politician that talked up getting new businesses (especially beyond auto) into the state but failed miserably. In fact, when I was in Ann Arbor from 2003-2008 they lost major companies in that area such as Pfizer and Comerica Bank. They ended up moving a majority of their folks out of the state. Ford built a giant campus outside of detroit, Chrysler moved from the iconic building to Auburn Hills, and so on. Right now companies like Quicken are trying to change the culture by pulling other companies back in but its been very very slow.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 09:08 AM) Yeah same here. I watched the trailer after seeing people comment on it. Wow did it look bad. Might be a good drinking game movie. It was sooo good.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 11, 2013 -> 11:35 PM) Nice job by CBS tonight to make sure that everyone knows that Aaryn is a racist. Quite the powershift in the house too. It was Julie Chen. The asian racist remarks apparently really hit her personally.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 01:30 AM) Yes, maybe 15-20 mil a year. Still crazy to think he's done in the NHL. Plus 15-20 hookers a week.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 08:48 AM) Had nothing to do with the decline of domestic manufacturing and the stable, well-paying careers it provided. Why's Detroit called "motor city" anyway??? It is good for the area that the car manufacturers are thriving however only one headquarters is located downtown (GM) anymore as Ford, Chrysler, VW etc moved out to burbs.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 10, 2013 -> 12:38 PM) Detroit has been trying to recondense the city for the past decade. The issue is they have no money to make an incentive. It's literally them just saying "please move here, or else soon your bus line is going to cut out" except the people are poor and can't. It's a horrible situation. Also, Jake, I really find it silly that you would reconsider grad school in Chicago over this. They gave away houses for free, nobody took it.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 11:27 AM) I have a ton of HS friends in Detroit (all from the Ann Arbor area) that are all about saving the city and stuff. Essentially, they view it as a hipster paradise and want to bring in a really progressive culture to help rejuvenate the city. I have also seen them mention a lot about the Ilitch's buying out a ton of land and buildings in Detroit and they are worried that the city will be run by 2-3 companies/families and they'll be able to do pretty much anything they want to do. I would argue with them that it was that case for the most part anyways (big 3 auto) and any money being invested into Detroit right now is a good thing. It already is owned by 3 families. Illich, Dan Gilbert and Peter Karmanos own most of the buildings downtown. Dan Gilbert owns almost all of the office buildings.

Another Pat arrested, most likely it was Bo Pellini's fault.

LOL, just as I was doing this I was transferring my itunes folder to a new drive and just deleted my entire media collection, f***
