QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 22, 2011 -> 10:45 AM) What are you talking about? Don't even compare the minors to the majors. You have no idea what Walker's role has been in Morel's turnaround. Turnaround from what? He's shown his entire professional career that he struggles and then adapts, his numbers this season has completely followed the pattern. And yes, I know first hand that Walk has been and is ignored by several veteran hitters. If you want to put a feather in his cap for Morel, how about taking it out and stomping it to the ground with Gordon Beckham.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 22, 2011 -> 10:37 AM) Brent Morel should save Greg Walker's job. Totally, like how he is exactly performing how he did in the minors for years before he even worked with Walker once. Totally.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 01:08 PM) Maybe he doesn't feel that way about his current teammates or manager Squirt. Anyway, when the best hitter on the team endorses the hitting coach it is something that has to be taken into account when deciding whether or not to retain Walker. I'm sure chairman Reinsdorf is listening. LOL, what he is endorsing? He is saying kind things taken out of an interview about a coach he has worked with and called a friend for years? Paul Konerko doesnt need to learn jack s*** from Greg Walker.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 11:44 PM) LOL sounds like a shot at Missouri, but it's not like we've won the Big 12 or anything (in football) so what's the difference. No, its a shot at any school that thinks the SEC is going to help them somehow. Why not stay in the conference that is losing teams so that you can make a BCS game perhaps and make a ton of cash.

And if you're a middle of the road sports school, why would you want to join a conference you literally will never win?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 07:23 AM) ESPN had two articles on their front page about it, a few days back. I'm sure if you searched their site you'd find them. Yes, under the heading "Boise under probation" but actually they lost schollies and practices and had to fire coaches and the AD.

Its not surprising they've become friends over the years, but Paulie knows more about hitting than Walker ever did. I see this as a stand up guy standing up for someone he likes.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 06:34 PM) Congrats BigSqwert and Good Luck Rock! When Ozzie turns up missing, you know who was responsible....

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 06:41 PM) Well, I know you're not including Tennessee in that. Bruce Pearl/Lane Kiffin were the talk of ESPN for over a year. It was ridiculous. No, im talking about the last several months, Tenn was kind of out in the front of the wave now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 06:15 PM) Yep, doesn't it seem like it should tarnish their program? Instead, it's barely even covered. Kinda like what happens when an NFL player gets busted for steroids compared to a MLB player. They got tagged for LOIC, which at this point depending on the final ruling, looks to be worse than what OSU will be charged with. However looks at the zero articles written on the subject. Its crazy. USC had 41 violations, almost half of what Boise had, yet USC is considered the worst of the worst. Granted the money is a very different level, but still.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 06:08 PM) No offense to Capn, but is anyone surprised this happened at a school that landed Clowney? Anyone who seriously also considered Clemson is shady enough for me. Ah, he's a local kid, thats pretty much what landed him. Otherwise he would have gone further away to a better program. And I know I shouldnt be, but I am always surprised at what little coverage every other scandal gets on ESPN etc. Boise has 75 athletes and several staff members involved in pay for play and its already off the radar.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 04:54 PM) Looks like the NCAA is alleging multiple major violations for South Carolina. Players renting hotel suites for $14.59/night. http://sc.edu/ncaaresponse/NOA.pdf Interested to see what Capn thinks... After suffering through a long, drawn-out process as a Tennessee fan, I can definitely say this sucks for any fan to have to go through. Some seriously recruiting violations in there. Not good. Sorry Cap, its not fun.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 03:53 PM) The Big East has lost Western PA and Upstate NY at TV markets. If Rutgers and UConn bolt, the conference loses it's biggest remaining draws in New England and New York. ND would no longer be getting nearly the media exposure they now get from the conference, and that would probably be enough to push them to give up football independence. They really dont need any help with exposure: http://thequad.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/1...ef=ncaafootball

Extremely pre-mature but a certain "Federal bureau" gave me a call back.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 02:47 PM) I think your brain is broken, but obviously to each his own. I think you're crazy so at least we are on the same page. Frankly I think Always Sunny was better than all of them.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 02:29 PM) So how does the 2012 draft look for O-line men? Not great. There are some decent interior guys.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 02:13 PM) Do you not watch Parks & Rec? Yes and its good, but not as good as Modern family, nor is the cast as well rounded.

Hows the battery life looking?

Before Carimi went out I was actually wondering if the staff had given thought to swapping he and Webb.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 10:12 AM) This phone is an absolute beast. Silky smooth, awesome camera, gorgeous screen, and light as a feather. Puts my EVO to shame. Really? Can you expand on that?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 11:15 AM) The problem is that Devin Hester is never going to be a X receiver, and if you want him to be effective it has to be like Az Hakim in Martz offense, not Holt or Bruce. What makes no sense is that the Saints defense was semi-predictable (blitz or not) and yet the Bears make very little change at the line. Im pretty sure thats a Martz thing, I dont think he likes audibles. The fact that he runs terrible routes and doesnt have very good hands is the other part of the problem with him at receiver. He's one of the best if not the best KR and PR in history, but thats where his effectiveness ends.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 08:27 AM) The Bears have had an awful O-Line and receiving corps for the last many years. I have no idea why they refuse to improve in either areas. Good old 'Raspy' Joe Buck had quite the damning stat yesterday... the Bears' last 1,000 yard receiver was Marty Booker... in 2002. Devin Hester was thrown to 15 times and had one catch. What value does he bring to the Bears now that kickoffs arent as important?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 19, 2011 -> 09:33 AM) The Emmy's apparently didn't get notice that Modern Family wasn't very funny this year. Do you believe all shows get worse with age or something? Modern family was as hilarious as ever with by far the best writing of any Comedy up for that award.
