Ok we are locked in!

Oh, if the guys who paid could shoot me a PM telling me who you are on here, I can list you.

Ill post who has paid and who hasnt by 11:15 today. If you have submitted a bracket, its understood you are paying.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 09:57 AM) If you were running it, I'd just drop 10 bucks by your house, I really don't want to put more money on my credit card card though. And that's your damn fault for always working sundays on my off/get over hangover day! You can do that if you want, Brian can forward me the cash. Whateva.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 09:49 AM) See we have 11. I'll send money when I get home Nice, come on people! I suggest second place gets money back, first takes the rest. Thoughts?

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 03:55 AM) I am but going to wait to see if we get enough first. Even if we have 5 I am in. Good odds.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 16, 2011 -> 03:13 PM) Rose doesn't have a point at all. Just because Hill was given more than Rose had Hill is automatically a b**** for taking advantage of what he had? What is Hill supposed to do? Sit around at home and wallow in his parents' money? Jalen Rose came off as a total prick in that documentary. There's a reason why he was the most used interview. He was a controversial asshole the entire time. Rose was giving his feelings AT THE TIME when all of this was going on. Should he have lied? He was honest, direct, and easily the best contributor to the documentary. The most racist and hateful comments that happened during that time and also shown during the film was by the media and most of the general population.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Mar 16, 2011 -> 12:18 AM) haha i posted that in the music thread, it is now my ringtone/motivational morning drive to school song Tosh got this girl 6 million hits on youtube, thats astounding.

QUOTE (Felix @ Mar 16, 2011 -> 08:13 AM) Oh noes! You mean to tell me a player that's having one of the best individual seasons in the league is being TALKED about? That's just awful. I'm so incredibly sorry for posting anything about Kevin Love's historical individual performance this year. My bad. Dude, I got your back. Its an NBA thread on a SOX board. You can post whatever you want, especially since he's one of the best stories in the league. Yeah its annoying to some, so ignore it.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 15, 2011 -> 10:55 PM) If we can't get more we could open it up to non-soxtalkers just to have a solid pool. Open it up to anyone. I dont care. I want as many people in it as possible to make it interesting.

If we get enough people to join we pay pal money into a pool and with this low number maybe winner gets all?

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Mar 15, 2011 -> 07:28 PM) It's like 145 on Comcast but I don't get it. Must be a top tier package? 320 on hd

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 15, 2011 -> 02:58 PM) I don't know many slaves bringing down that kind of bank Adrian... How you gonna buy 6 watches studded with diamonds on that cash....

I'd like to add this talent lyricist to the bracket.

SO Notre Dame is found responsible for th death of the kid that fell from the lift taping the practices. Shouldnt the coaching staff who put him up there be punished as well?

I was going to add yoga to the mix as something y'all can do that is low impact and may help your injuries. It doesnt hurt to strengthen some of the stabilizing muscles that you dont use in your regular workout routines and may actually help your injuries. You can also replace high impact workouts like running with simple squats and lunges for both core and leg workouts as well as cardio.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Mar 15, 2011 -> 02:44 AM) Ive had a couple lingering injuries from my time in the military. I have "permanent" stress fractures in both my tibias, basically no matter how long i allow time to heal, my tibias will just crack again the moment i start jogging for anything close to a mile. Also i had a minor tear in my LCL when i was in iraq that still bugs me to this day. Doctors I have talked to tell me that im pretty much going to feel like this forever and the only thing they can do for me is toss disability money my way every month but damnit i want to run again! ive tried everything from taking vitamins (100% of my daily value of EVERYTHING, literally), to trying to work my way up slowly and carefully, but no matter what the pain lingers. It sucks being 25 with the body of an old man... Swimming should replace running for you.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 05:33 PM) Actually, legally, you're supposed to. It's just like gambling winnings, though--since most purchases are relatively minor, it's not worth the states' efforts to audit and collect those taxes. I report my gambling losses. I figure since they take 40k in taxes, I'm allowed some leeway.

The bottom line is we still dont have to pay illinois taxes on each purchase online. And thats ok.

Join the pay pool everyone!!!!! Link is in the contest thread.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 04:15 PM) A game which, as other have pointed out, only works as long as other states are willing to let Amazon freeload there. I think we all know Indiana will allow pretty much anything to take business away from Illinois.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 04:10 PM) I'm sure you can see the underlying critique I'm going to give in reply then. Didn't both sides then make the smart decision for them? Illinois has a budget hole. Enacting that tax will either help close it or will push a competitor for local businesses out of the state. No one forces Amazon to decide not to pay Sales tax...they are clearly fighting to keep that advantage, and they're clearly taking their actions by choice. Well it appears most of the affiliates are trying to move their business out of state, which actually hurts Illinois more than it helps them. They really didnt add any tax revenue to their bottom line, just ousted some more business in state.

His location was something that wasnt there, the good news is he was hitting up to 94 mph.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 03:15 PM) I changed it from the one above. Use below for the $10 pool. On Yahoo! ID: 134172 pw: soxtalk10 Here is the link to sign up for everyone http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/

Ok, hopefully this works, I added this email to make it easy: [email protected] I will keep an excel spreadsheet of who gives money and will track the winners via the site. Obviously if only 4 of us enter the pool, its probably not worth it.
