And if there is anything right in the world this guy will lose his license and have a breathalyzer installed in his car when he gets it back in 3 years. Driving drunk in Vegas is stupid and anyone who does it deserves to be off the road before they kill someone.

Duh, even Stoney is lost for words at times. Hawk's act is very old and getting worse.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 22, 2012 -> 02:10 PM) With Rizzo about be recalled. In what planet was Andrew Cashner for Anthony Rizzo a good deal. Why the hell do teams simply give the cubs good players? When the assistant GM comes from said team.

Castro has more errors than Walks, how many more times will the radio guys keep saying he has "unlimited" potential.

Not sure if anyone posted this yet: Beltre thinks King Felix is using vagisil for breaking pitches Pretty good exchange there up to when Felix shows Beltre his horrible swing.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 22, 2012 -> 12:39 PM) Claude Giroux was playing beer pong with casts on both of his wrists after surgery. KANER!!!! The Madison police just came out and said no charges press and no complaints brought to them about Kane as well. Story will die until the next one.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 21, 2012 -> 11:52 AM) That's 25 people in NYC. Not sure that can be expanded to a national, disjointed movement. Still funny, but once again you bring up the point that the protests going on around the country with Occupy or whatever else is incredibly unorganized without an actual message or stance on anything. It borders on people just being bored trying to find something to do with their time. A "movement" should be much more cohesive and organized IMO and that is the primary reason why its being ignored. I see this even in the brief discussions with individual protesters as they were walking back, getting coffee, and even some beers last night. There was maybe one person who had something they stood for (and it was unrelated to the "movement) and the others were just frustrated with everything in life.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 21, 2012 -> 11:38 AM) Starbucks in Chicago was unionized with the IWW! Occupy hates starbucks But they'll drink it before a good protest walk....

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 21, 2012 -> 11:44 AM) You don't need to be a trust fund kid to own a phone/tablet, but having some of the wealthy class also on your side of pro-distribution doesn't hurt the cause at all. People marching in and advocating for causes aren't necessarily or most often doing it for themselves. Pretty sure most of those kids dont know WHO they are doing it for. I just got back from a 3rd world country and seeing and talking those people it was clear the two sides couldnt be further apart in their views.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 21, 2012 -> 11:33 AM) They made sure they flew airbus! Boeing is a huge military contractor, though. I'm aware it was just so hilarious. The same message is repeated when you see half the crowd has a damn starbucks coffee.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 21, 2012 -> 11:33 AM) I think I was the only one who said that violent protests may *possibly* be justified in some circumstances. This wouldn't be one of them. These people have no message, they are weakly organized and have been infiltrated with people so dedicated to their message getting out that they cover their faces. The civil rights protests shown earlier in this thread were real people trying to do real things for their cause no matter what happened to them, these people are lost souls IMO.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 21, 2012 -> 11:27 AM) Have to ask too, for all of those out there that think violent/disruptive protests lead to something - what exactly did those hardcore protestors gain last night? You know what wasn't really covered? The rally. You know what was for 2 hours? A small number of people being dicks for no reason. Message 100% lost. union park protester this morning: "Why are you guys protesting Boeing's empty building?" "They are an evil corporation aimed at hurting innocent people" blah blah blah "Are you from the chicago area, are you a local?" "Nah I flew in from out of town"

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2012 -> 06:26 PM) And without being there, you know better. Well at least now I know you havent read any of my posts otherwise you would have seen that I am basing my judgement of the story off the the actual evidence which is photos of the guy drunk, but not doing anything other than smiling, walking and at one point, sleeping. So much for this discussion. Maybe we'll get another story soon.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ May 15, 2012 -> 06:15 PM) Ummm pretty certain Fleury was quite the drinker himself.. not that being a drinker will make you a drug head.. but they are both guys who only gave a damn about partying and playing. As it goes though.. Kane is a 23 yr old partying.. as long as he keeps his s*** together and plays.. I couldn't careless if he is a drunkard.. he isn't the 1st to do this and won't be the last Not to split hairs, but Fleury was a drug addict, he spent a night on the west side of Chicago doing drugs with homeless people. Kane is a long way from that.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2012 -> 06:10 PM) And you are basing it on the assumption that everyone is lying and you are the only one who can see through it. LOL, who is everyone? Give me the name of someone. Every story out there even in the trib is citing Deadspin, and its only references are anonymous postings on their website/messageboard. If there was even one actual source I would believe it, but there isnt. Therefore, I dont.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2012 -> 05:52 PM) Look dude, I know you will do anything to excuse his behavior here. But this isn't just me. This is has been all over the papers and radio, and not just in Chicago. How many other players can say that? False equivalencies don't change that. A lot of people think he has a problem. His team won't even publicly stand by him anymore. Thats funny that you think I am "excusing" his behavior. You are basing your entire judgement on who is reported on radio and the paper instead of facts. If player A has 4 pictures of him drunk and player B has 4 pictures of him drunk you are saying the one that is in the paper more has a serious substance abuse problem, thats ridiculous and hilarious at the same time. There are plenty of other athletes with pictures of them drunk out there, and yet Kane is the one being reported on, why do you think that is? The bolded simply isnt true, they dont need to "stand by him" for something that was legal (drinking) and mostly false (the other bulls***). If something controversial came out of it they would release a statement but as of now this website has more hits on this subject that anywhere else in the world. And also if something finally comes out and shows the kid choking or beating a woman or doing something illegal ill jump right into the fact he needs some schooling on how to be a man first and a blackhawk second, but at this point it just looks like an easy target getting picked on.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ May 15, 2012 -> 05:43 PM) Kane is Theo Fleury in the making.... Drinking at a party=habitual drug user and addict Gotcha

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2012 -> 05:41 PM) Because this is now the 4th time for Kane he has made the media because of his drunken stupidity. So they have to be in the media to be a problem, ok FYI Burish has a drinking problem right? 8am drunk, driving with an open container after being up all night. Why isnt this an issue with you? Heres half the team partying like morons Toews 8am leaving the bar Toews drinking underage: Thats two times in the "media" for the captain, how many more till you establish he has a drinking problem?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2012 -> 05:14 PM) I know here and other places it isn't like this is the first mention of Kane's drunken stupidity. There was plenty of grief over all of the instances (Cup, Buffalo, Limo) What concern was there over the limo picture, do you even remember the OTHER players that were there with him? How come they arent in question? I'm sure I can find drunken pictures of Toews, because he didnt have an alleged incident with a cab driver its all good for him? FYI, the players were out at the Pony inn after they won the cup, I have first hand knowledge how f***ed up the team was other than Kane, but of course not alot of pictures from that event, so Kane is forever known as the only player who got drunk after they won the cup even though half of those guys stayed up ALL NIGHT drinking.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ May 15, 2012 -> 04:52 PM) There isn't a Tim Duncan in the next draft, and it doesn't look very deep either. Nerlens Noel and Shabazz Mohammed are certainly interesting. After that, you have a couple of guys that may be better in college than the pros (Zeller and McAdoo) and a bunch of other freshmen that are probably more potential than production (mainly looking at Isaiah Austin, Alex Poythress and Steven Adams with that one). Maybe a freshman 2 comes out of nowhere like Gary Harris?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2012 -> 04:44 PM) I wonder if the Bulls would be better in the long run if they punted on 2013? Let Deng play the olympics then go for surgery, amnesty Boozer, trade Jo to the highest bidder, and let the option guys go. Then when you come back for 2013 you get a healthy Rose and Deng, plus a high draft pick, and the kid from Europe potentially as well. Thats my thought as well. Transition some contracts, pack the entire year in and maybe add another good draft pick to your core.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ May 15, 2012 -> 04:23 PM) I don't remember MJ's performance ever backsliding much when he was winning his multiple titles and MVPs; certainly not to the degree Kaner's has over the last two seasons. Exactly, as long as he performed it was ok, which makes me wonder if people are more upset about his partying or the fact he hasnt been as good lately.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 15, 2012 -> 04:17 PM) Rose's surgeon puts recovery time at 8-12 months, thus somewhere between January and basically missing the whole 2012-2013 season. Thats about right. Maybe the Bulls will make next season a sort of transition year?

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 15, 2012 -> 03:55 PM) Oh yeah! I have this thing called the Rumble Roller that is excellent for this... Heres the basic for folks who dont know what I am talking about http://www.amazon.com/Fit-36-Inch-High-Den...6257&sr=8-1 For me, if I rolled my IT band 2 years ago as well as stretched my hammies I probably wouldnt have torn out my knee.

Ha, after looking for the exact games that Jordan was partying before I found this page: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/710162-...ht-with/page/26 Alot of chicago or former chicago athletes in there
