QUOTE (G&T @ Feb 7, 2011 -> 04:54 PM) It looks like a jab at the Sox although no one knows what it says. Almost like they were trying to write something bad about the Sox but got spooked and wrote nothing. Of course Cubs fans will look at it like its a Sox fan doing it and that we took time out of wrenching on our IROC's and snorted some meth and came up en masse to deface their statue.

No real Sox fan would deface that statue considering his roots with our club as well. Tasteless.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 7, 2011 -> 03:31 PM) Awful year to be the worst team in NBA history. Assuming CLE wins the lottery and gets the #1 pick, there is really no for sure college kid you take at #1. There is good talent in college but nobody I think could be a superstar at the next level or build a franchise around. Theres alot of meh talent, but some good role players should be had by the better teams in the league.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 5, 2011 -> 11:22 PM) GMAFB. Everything you've mentioned has versions that have Aux In/Line In that could support pretty much any device. You make it sound as if anyone with a non-iPhone can never listen to their device in a car or home stereo. And within the year most devices will most likely use wireless methods of connecting such as DNLA and right now you can via bluetooth. No, you can listen to it (though Aux inputs suck), but it wont charge it, wont control it and thats pretty major for me. The bluetooth streaming is ok but unreliable in cars, and like I said I like the charging capability. I like that I can charge and listen to it with my alarm clock without having an additional power cord, and I like that most boom boxes for beach going come with an ipod dock that also charges and controls with a remote. I dont want to carry and ipod and a phone, I want one unit.

Most gyms in general are my pet peeve. The super gyms filled with equipment are douche magnets, and for some reason you feel like they are ripping you off for what they charge. Also, ever joined a gym to find out they don't provide towels? WTF. I've alleviated most of my annoyances with my membership at go performance. The people there are there to workout and workout hard. The owners work with you and everyone knows your name. However there is still the random guy who wears the same outfit and smells like a f***ing armpit. And the ridiculous nye resolution idiots.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 6, 2011 -> 10:19 PM) Definitely a consideration. Unfortunately, I have been incredibly put off by some of these rescue groups or shelters. Because I live in a condo, they seem to be very hesitant to allow me to take a dog off their hands, even though I know more about dogs than most of their own employees and volunteers. They simply are tired of giving dogs to people (and I am sure this happens ALL THE TIME in Vegas), to people who think they want a dog on a whim and then end up bringing it back because they didn't know the dog would bark, or that the dog would drop a deuce on their carpeting. I've said to them "So you are going to keep this dog in this 6 x 8 concrete enclosed area rather than allow me to have it?" I've had several conversations with this breeder and I can tell from her knowledge and experience that she has handled the socialization and development of these puppies very well, and that their mother and father are healthy and well-taken care of. I really like her. She is sending me more pictures tomorrow, so I am pretty excited. Might have them shipped out the weekend of the 18th if all goes well. Keep up with the advice...I really appreciate it! Wow, I've never run into this. I adopted my first dog when I was in college with no money and a tiny space.

If you get a dog you should try rescuing a puppy first. I have two rescue dogs that would have been killed otherwise.

With all the Fire Weber talk on here, are we putting to bed the notion that he is a great in game coach?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 4, 2011 -> 08:50 PM) http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/why-ht...-than-iphone-4/ When that phone plugs into my iPod stereo, alarm clock, and car input let me know, otherwise it's not even close to useable for me.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 4, 2011 -> 04:55 PM) That is for 2 phones though. Wow. I wish sprint had the iPhone.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 4, 2011 -> 03:59 PM) 1500 minutes, unlimited texts, "unlimited" data: $129.99 WHen you talk bang for your buck, Sprint is by far the best DEAL, but I can do ATT, Verizon for cheaper with less minutes and data. I have unlimited everything with ATT for roughly that cost.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 4, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) And it depends on the larger city as well; everyone and their grandchildren seems to complain about AT&T in NY and SF. ATT is ungodly terrible in SF, and not sure why. I didnt get emails for 2 days for no particular reason. My phone was bouncing off of 3G all the time. Its really weird. Oh and your ATT service will suffer if you are in an area populated with a ton of Verizon users. Its weird, but it happens.

I'm pretty sure Danks is gone if we dont trade him.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 4, 2011 -> 10:17 AM) Brian, Suggesting a SF is a better SG isn't fair. LeBron isn't a SG and hasn't taken that role, so we cannot call him a 2 guard no matter what you say. Dwyane Wade is a top 5 player in the game... he's ridiculous. His dimes have dropped due to playing with the single-most talented player in the game. I'd use LeBron as a PG actually.

QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 4, 2011 -> 10:04 AM) For the Kevin Love haters: http://offthedribble.blogs.nytimes.com/201...nts/?ref=sports Is there such a thing as a Kevin Love hater? The guy is good, end of story.

I work from home and the road and depend on other companies in the area to be open to do business. With that said, I pretty much loafed all week.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 4, 2011 -> 08:58 AM) AT&T wireless cell phone users, what are your thoughts on your service? I posted on Facebook that we were thinking of switching to AT&T, I got 11 responses. Of those who actually have HAD AT&T, 4 were negative and 4 were positive. The rest of the comments were people who "heard" AT&T was bad. I live in the west loop and I have full bars pretty much anywhere I go including the loop. With that said, sometimes in areas where there are alot of people with cell phones, you could see a decline in service or a dropped call. Its not bad, I would say average. The best performance from a wireless carrier I ever had in Chicago was TMobile a few years ago, their signal strength downtown was always full.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 09:12 PM) Rock, haha yah Im thinking there is a good chance OSU may come into the Kohl Center undefeated. Should be interesting because I doubt the refs would give Wisconsin to much home cooking. Theyll obviously really slow down the game and it will all depend on how Wisconsin can shoot the three. Should be fun and hopefully all these other teams stealing Wisconsin's style havent prepared OSU. I personally think there's a good chance they lose 4 of the next 5. They really have to be perfect to win @min and @Wisconsin. It's a saturday game isn't it?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 08:57 PM) Despite not living there, I've definitely gotten the impression that the Chicago Public Transit system is one in need of serious funding/upgrades. It's beyond needing at this point.

What about Charlie Coles?

I would never have come up with all those names, wow fathom

Lebron gets a make up call yet still b****es about the missed foul 2 plays ago.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 3, 2011 -> 08:46 PM) They really, really blew it by hiring Purnell. One of the more overrated coaches in all of the NCAA. You and I have as many NCAA tournament wins as he did at Clemson. He was like their 25th choice though. They should bring in someone with ties to the city league and just open up a pipeline of kids that want to stay in the city and bang lincoln park trixies

Why can't DePaul at least pull one good class from the city schools? Just take a whole Young team or something.
