QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 11:02 AM) That's not what i read this morning. I read it can be installed "within two weeks": SunTimes.com - I hadnt seen that yet. Maybe it being in a large stadium slows it down because of the drainage system??? I've seen them throw it in quickly on a practice field. If they could put it down in 9 days, and also still keep the field heating system, we would have a surface that would basically be maintenance free for the next many years. The only real "repair" would have to take place if there was a huge rain storm or a massive concert event.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 10:46 AM) I just want to use whatever the Packers do, the weather is similar in both cities and they don't seemingly have the issues. Theirs is a hybrid grass/fieldturf. Its a little better than fieldturf in the winter because its a bit softer and there are a few less rubber pellets to cut the hell out of your skin. Fieldturf in the winter is like falling on razorblades.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 10:53 AM) It will be hard to get new turf in before the season starts. The Bears play on Aug 13 and dont return home until Sept 1, but Soldier Field is hosting the High School Football Kick-Off on Aug 26th. It can take 9-14 days to install turf. So, even if the Park District and Bears agreed to a new surface by Saturday, they'd have to move extremely fast to get it in. And this is chicago, we dont do "extremely fast" very well. The only time that I see for an in-season change would be after the October 16th game against the Vikings. They have back-to-back road games in London and Philly Fieldturf can be installed in less than a week.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 09:28 PM) 7) Santos is becoming a monster Uh, he's already a monster. He has the nastiest out pitch in baseball. I thought it was interesting reading the article about him vs Marmol in the paper yesterday, Santos has been a much better pitcher so far in his career than Marmol was at this point, not to mention outperforming him this season.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 10:31 AM) Arrested Development Chappelle's Show Flight of the Conchords Ill add undeclared and Freaks and Geeks. I also loved Lucky Louie.

In all the debate about field turf or natural grass, I have yet to see someone bring up the fact that field turf is terrible in the winter. I can only assume that the people writing all of the articles have never even been on field turf and instead are basing their arguments on google searches.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 10:25 AM) Yeah, it's on the one I linked, too. seen it, she looks real good. I've been scanning through that site, didnt need to see Brendan jerking off though.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 09:59 AM) http://www.bigbrothernipslips.com/ Clearly NSFW. I found a fully nude one of Jordan on ihatebigbrother.com

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 04:51 PM) Heh. Bored at work on Friday afternoon. Had no idea that pretty much every character on Big Brother gets caught naked and a website has them all categorized. Jordan loves showing her bewbs. What site?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 10:13 PM) I liked it better when it was Freaky Friday I liked it better when it was Vice Versa.

Hahn for GM and Ryno for manager in 2012. Thats what I would do.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 07:26 PM) Not sure about that. They were a lucky alliance but alliance none the less. I can see the winners of 3 and 9 being floaters. Read that Johnny Bananas is sueing Entourage because he had JOHNNY BANANAS copyrighted. They were floaters. Enzo and Lane only won at the end.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 06:08 PM) Except for more speed and a stronger arm, Vick and Tebow have similar styles. Both have had limited touch and both are/were run-first QBs. Tebow is quick for a QB, very strong, and smart. If he works on his touch, he can have an equivalent to Orton's arm and be okay. So basically they are totally different other than being left-handed?

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 05:46 PM) Who would you consider a floater who has won in the past. Closest one I can think of is Jordan. I didn't see season 4 and 5 though. Last season the Brigade were major floaters. Off the top of my head Season 2,3,4,6,9,10

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 12:35 PM) About 6 months ago, I developed an intolerance for lactose. Have all this protein mix so tried making a shake with water. Yuck. Which protein? You could always buy some RTD protein shakes that are lactose free as well.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 05:38 PM) I'm wondering if its considered derrogatory for Venezuelans to call someone Mexican. Ozzie once called himself a crazy Mexican, and now Jr. implies people are tough on his dad by calling him Mexican. It would be ironic if they were the ones using racial slurs. I don't have any idea. I will say, people saying they want Ozzie or his family dead even if joking is absolutely crossing the line as is anything ethnic or racial. To me, if you were going out to suck back some beers, Ozzie would be my #1 choice if I could choose anyone in the White Sox organization. I just think his time making out the line up card should be ova. Several ethnicities including Puerto Ricans think its derogatory to be called Mexican.

When he lived on the west side I would run into him at starbucks on madison, he was actually super nice to people.

I wrote them a similar letter about why I wasnt going to renew my 10th year of season tickets. I cannot see eye to eye with an organization that cannot run itself properly.

QUOTE (MEANS @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 12:39 PM) I know!!! I loved the one girl talking in the diary room how that during the Veto they were talking to each other like they would in bed, that was HILARIOUS!!!!! How many times does he need to say how proud he is of her??? And FYI to them, winning comps doesnt mean s*** until the end of the game. "Floaters" have pretty much won every BB since it started.

It's never fun-bad when you invest thousands of dollars into a team each season.

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 12:57 PM) I would also allow a Sandberg hiring, in hopes that it turns out like a Mike Scioscia-like situation. Where in the face of the franchise on the other side of town manages the rival town's team to success... +1. Ryno should be on our list for sure.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 11:55 AM) What is the plot, Qwerty? Watched Limitless the other day. I know it was pretty much your typical major studio production, but I really enjoyed the ending. Caught me off guard. And Bradley Cooper was good as usual. Limitless aka "who you think you are when doing blow"

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 11:56 AM) espnchijon jon greenberg Several Soxtalk.commers want to stress their forum has no place for hateful talk as might've been inferred from my column. #nowstopemailing Thank you Jon. Good for you.

QUOTE (T R U @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 10:41 AM) I don't buy that at all We had plenty of pieces that could have been moved had Kenny wanted to throw in the towel He 100% percent had more than 5 players on the block. You dont have to buy it at all, but its the truth.
