QUOTE (Y2HH @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 06:51 PM) Meanwhile, if anyone on a broadcast says something negative about the Bears, it's because they're stupid retards and biased, etc...I hear it every week, and the last 50 posts in this thread highlight it. Welcome to a Chicago board. We all do the same for the Sox. And the Bears are 1000x more popular that the White Sox in a much more popular sport. You could probably hear some praise for Favre on the Vikings board.

Tell me that #3 Kemp isnt exactly what Griffin did. Stacey King opened my guys to how similar players they are.

how is breaking him in half a life-altering injury? They could have stitched him back together.

Some urinals are better than other as well. The ones that go all the way to the floor love to splash pee on your pants, the ones that are bowl-like with water in them makes it seem like a bunch of dudes sharing a stall. Have you guys ever seen a female urinal, now THATS f***ing strange.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 02:20 PM) Not what I said WHATSOEVER. I support the White Sox blindly, and that's not a negative, nor did I say it was. Supporting a team, blindly or otherwise, has NOTHING to do with wishing injury upon competing teams/players, nor taking pleasure out of the injury of others. To me, that's not being a sportsman, that's being a piece of trash. And I stand by it. WTF? DO you even know what posts you are quoting anymore? Have a good day guy, hope it gets better for you.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) There are equally stupid people in a lot of places. So it's ok for you to be stupid, too? If this is the reality of 99% of NFL fans, then 99% of NFL fans are useless pieces of inhumane s*** when broken down to their true selves. If sports bring out the worst in people, then they've missed the ENTIRE point. You are the one who thinks supporting a team blindly is a negative, I call it being a fan, and in reality its the most pure thing about being a sports fan. Maybe you should concentrate on something a little tamer...knitting perhaps?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 02:10 PM) You can laugh it off all you want, but what's it say about you that you feel that way? I mean, honestly...wishing that upon anyone is just...it makes you a bad person, and if that's what sports brings out of you, you need to not watch them. No, it doesnt. Wishing Brett Favre gets sacked so f***ing hard that he comes out of the game makes me and the other 90 percent of NFL fans who were thinking the same thing completely awesome.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 01:42 PM) This has always been my problem with Bears fans and their general arrogance that they get from who knows where. They're so easy to dislike because they have that "Cub" like mentality that they're the most awesomeist thing ever when in fact, they aren't. They want praise for everything their team does, but don't like to give praise to anyone else. When they win on a fluke play, it's part of the game, when they lose, it's not because the other team beat them, it's because they didn't show up, or some other such nonsense. I don't apply this mentality to all Bears fans, either...but there are the many, as I like to put it, 'Da Bers" fans...and this is directed at you if you're amongst them. Have you had a s***ty day or something? You've basically described every NFL fan across the country. They have made movies about NFL fans and they ridiculous amount of hope that abounds before every season starts. Have you ever actually lived anywhere else in the country? I can tell you first hand that eve Bengals and Browns fans think and act that way about their teams. Its the reason the NFL is the most popular sport in the country.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 01:59 PM) Jokes aside, and I'm sure many Bears fans are happy to see Favre go, making fun of or hoping for a person to get/become physically injured is never...funny. This is exactly what I'm talking about with Bears fans acting their finest. It's not enough that they beat Favre the majority of the end of his career, it's not enough that they beat Favre 40-14 yesterday...it's picking this as their favorite moment, or wishing injury upon him that makes me dislike Bears fans. Those other things should be enough...but they aren't. I despise that mentality in sports. It embodies everything we learned to NOT do in sports as kids...and doing it as an adult...and laughing about it. LOL, whatever. Brett Favre is a royal douche and I was hoping Wooten broke him in half.

I got it from Jimmy Johns tuna and chinese food. I even got it once from a lobster in Aspen. You never can tell.

Did you guys hear Favre tell Cutler that he sent a Dick pic to Cavallari when they chatted after the game? At least thats what I heard.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 09:12 AM) Richardson I think will be, only because he probably doesn't have the body to be an NBA 2. I think his "leap" is going to be moving from a 3 pt specialist (which he is now) to a guy that can take someone off the dribble and create his own shot. Be more of an offensive leader. With the talent around him though he might want to stay out on the perimeter and hit the open shots. That's why next years team will be interesting. I have no idea what their strength will be. They'll have a freshman PG or a couple of upperclass combo guards handling the ball. They'll have a ton of athletic wings and a couple of young big guys. I think they'll just be talented, without a specific inside/outside strength. Richmond should stay at least one more year. He has raw skill and talent, and is very intelligent. However I think he can improve his draft stock a lot (going from, say 1st round to lottery pick) if he can show scouts his ability to be more of a point forward. His shooting also needs some work. But I'm stuck in the late 90's to early 00's draft thinking. Nowadays you take a chance on raw talent over proven veterans early in the draft. I'm sure if scouts are saying first round Weber will advise him to go. Though with the lockout pending I'm not sure how that works. Do the guys that get drafted still get their paychecks if the lockout happens? The lockout presents an interesting question. I know OSU fans are hoping that keeps Sullinger on the team for at least 2 years, and maybe DeShaun Thomas 3 years.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 09:06 PM) What do you mean? What development does Richardson even need? He's all ready almost as good as you can expect him to be. Richmond has a long ways to go. I like him as the point forward with McCamey coming off the ball. He should have been used that way much more on Saturday. The few times he was, it seemed like Illinois scored. Worked in NY too. I have no idea, thats why I was asking Jenks why he thought they may "take a leap" and pointed out the age of those guys. The only guy I am familiar with talent-wise is Richmond and frankly if he is a 4 year player at Illinois than that is a pretty bad job of coaching by the staff. You would assume most players that come in being the best player in a hugely talented state would be one or two and done.

XM is god-like. I got a very good deal back in the day and the rate is still good since i signed for life.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 09:24 AM) Wow. Back off the ledge buddy. It's one bad loss, it's not the end of the world. National championship teams have had equally bad losses before. Illinois was an explosive team up until this point (scoring 70+ points in all games...only Duke and Kansas have done that). It's pretty hard to win when you shoot 33%. Not an excuse for the loss, but come on. If you watched the game UIC was hitting some ridiculous 3's too. As for Weber, you're insane. You give him too much criticism for these types of losses and no credit for his good wins. Fact is he can't put the ball in the hoop. He can't physically restrain people from making stupid fouls. He can't get his players amped up/excited to play the game. This loss was on the players, not the coach. And yeah, I have no idea what you're talking about with Richardson. Not sure how his game could be any better at this point. He's a sophomore on a team with 3 seniors starting. He's not going to suddenly take the Lebron James role on this team. He finds his niche like any good player does. Perhaps next year he makes that leap, but you can't expect him to do that now. What's he done wrong with Richmond? Seems to me he's having a very solid freshman season so far (12 games remember). Paul is all athletic talent, but is totally inconsistent. Again, he's a SOPHOMORE. If you were expecting something more then that's on you. IMO Illinois is a top 10-top 15 team. I think they have the potential to make a deep run in the tourney. It obviously all depends on if they show up to play. These players, lead by the worthless Mike Davis and the soft Mike Tisdale, have always played down to their competition. That's been the theme of their tenure here. So do you see Richardson and Richmond being 4 year players then? Because you seem to really expect their development to take place a year or so down the line if not more.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 18, 2010 -> 10:13 PM) Can't decide if Illinois or the Bulls were the most pathetic team at the UC today. Losing at home to the Clippers isn't a good precursor for life without Noah. Oh, and MVP calibur players step up and hit the free throws in a spot like Rose was in at the end. Drose gets a pass on that one. He carried the team.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 18, 2010 -> 09:04 PM) He has added over 50 pounds. He was freakishly thin as a freshman and while he still isn't strong his rebounding has actually improved dramatically. No idea why he is fading away so much on shots, he is fading away more this year then he did when he was 30 pounds lighter. I cant see the 50 lbs. You have to admit that guy appears to have not worked much on his physique at all since he's been in school.

How has Tisdale not added one pound of muscle in 4 years of college?

30 and 19 for Sullinger. I really expected more from Ellington than a midget who cant shoot.

4-star Ryan Shazier switched his commit from gators to Buckeyes. he then was immediately dropped to a 3-star.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 17, 2010 -> 10:02 AM) Perez is great. Cool to sit in a freezer room too. LOL They have fantastic food, underrated. I miss Mexica grill that used to be a bit down the street.

f*** it, I think most fans would rather see Tebow lead the Broncos into futility.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 08:16 PM) I think it's pretty irresponsible for Matt Millen and Joe Thiesman to applaud the Chargers' player for staying in the punt coverage after losing his helmet early in the play. Isn't this the exact kind of thing the NFL is trying the prevent? Regardless of how "tough" the player is, you don't need to get killed on a play because you're diving around amongst players with helmets on. Disgusting that Millen and Thiesman would be shortsighted enough to praise him for it. Matt Millen shouldnt be allowed to state his opinion on anything related to NFL football. His legacy will be putting together the worst NFL team of all time.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 05:04 PM) Good for him. He obviously doesn't want to play for the Sox and put his money where his mouth is. I don't think we should be too upset losing out on a very fragile ex Cub. FWIW, if I was in his shoes, and I was me, I wouldnt take a f***ing dime from the Cubs. I would take a free contract with the Sox. I admire his loyalty.
