QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Nov 18, 2009 -> 01:01 AM) Some AFL video: Danks Morel Retherford Morel changed his stance a little bit from last time I saw him, added a timing device.

Not gonna lie, I expected more out of Kansas last night.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 05:37 PM) As if it takes much of an education to "tweet" anyways.... Over the course of the last year, the ability to break a story by "tweeting" it has become the measure of a beat writer such as Cowley covering baseball... What a pretentious, obnoxious punk. Seriously it would be interesting to see a collection of all the s*** emails he sends out to people in response to criticism. I know I have about 10 poorly written attempts at insults saved.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 04:32 PM) Michigan's offense hasn't been the problem. The spread had worked for the most part. It's the "spread" defense that is losing games for Michigan. Next year, they bring back practically everyone. IF RichRod can't win next year, than he will be gone. Unfortunately hsis major competition in the conference brings back alot of players as well, OSU has an offense that is mostly sophs and will be a better team next year. Michigan alumni are generally a very classy and well off bunch of people, I dont think DickRod really fits the image of what they want a Michigan coach to portray to be honest. Bo was a mean sonofab**** on the field, but to the outside world, he was a Michigan man through and through who had players and opposing coaches including Woody Hayes that LOVED the guy, DickRod has nothing but enemies.

Did Joe Cowley seriously try to say he has some higher level training that we dont have? I would bet way over 50% of the people on this site have a better education than Mr Cowley.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 03:28 PM) I tend to think that there are some ethical issues with posting a "private" conversation. Only if he has a confidential disclaimer on his email, which from experience I know he doesnt.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 03:24 PM) It is What a jerk. Since when did reporters become cowards that cannot even interact with their readers on a professional level? If you have the response, save it, when there are enough it could be a great blog post that will get plenty of hits.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 03:18 PM) Dude, you need to post his response. You can't tease us like that without posting the response. I assume its the same childish crap I have received several times almost like a 12 year old wrote the email. He's not regarded as an idiot by his peers for no reason.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 12:15 PM) My Email to Cowley: I have many back and forths with him where we basically attacked each other over the course of weeks. He's a douche. Nothing professional will ever come back to you from him. This is a guy who was ousted by his own peers from voting for awards in the very subject he "reports" on. He doesnt even have the access to the clubhouse he claims, and this is backed up by several players comments to me personally.

AJ has been the best leader by example through his preparation and his continuous will to win. There is no player on the Sox that has given more effort to this team over the last several years than AJ. He is the least of our worries.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 09:51 AM) I really hope there's money left for Hjalmarsson. He's been terrific so far this year and only seems to be getting better. I'd let Barker go before Hammer, for sure. Me too. We are going to have to expect some turnover of the role players outside of what the org deems the "core"

So my Alma Mater got kentuckied last night, absolute bulls***. This isnt the first time this has happened to Miami since they have given some big time programs some trouble the last several years yet always seem to lose due to lopsided calls down the stretch.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Nov 16, 2009 -> 12:59 PM) I find it completly acceptable to boo Ryne Sandberg at a Hawks game if I do not like him. I find absolutly no reason for him to be there unless he is from Toronto or something. The Marketing for this Hawks is getting a little out there. JR heritage night? In a couple of years that would be cool. Its kind of strange that he was there, but whatever. Marketing people should know better, especially since most good Hawks fans are also Sox fans. If you want the crowd to cheer no matter what, get some big boobed broad out there in a skirt, works every time.

ITS MICHIGAN WEEK!!!

Projections are crap. Bobby Scales is predicted to have a better season than many of our players.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 14, 2009 -> 06:17 PM) 86: Trey Stross: 6-4/200: WR: SR: Avon Lake, OH (Avon Lake HS) This guy is not getting any freebies in Iowa City for a while. Figures he's an Ohio kid. You can't drop TD passes right between your numbers, and another one that might have been a TD, but turned into something else you can't do in Columbus, and that is miss 21 yd FG attempts, and expect victory. As an Iowa alum, I would take 9-3 at the beginning of this season. I just hope they don't have a letdown next week. 10-2 is still pretty sweet. You should be thankful that an Ohio kid would even go to Iowa, Ohio HS football is ridiculously superior to Iowa hs football.

QUOTE (greasywheels121 @ Nov 14, 2009 -> 08:47 AM) Primarily northwest, but really anything west of 294 makes sense. So any chain really?

Nice, 5th straight conference title even in a rebuilding year. Good thing that offsides call didnt decide that game. Stanzi shouldnt see the field next season IMO

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 14, 2009 -> 12:09 PM) No thank you on Crawford. He'll cost a bunch in talent, he makes $10M, he's a FA after 2010, and our biggest offensive need is *not* a lead-off hitter. Ill trade them anyone in our minor league system. Danks etc can go for Crawford.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 13, 2009 -> 10:11 PM) Tough crowd, final score was 24-21. Not sure swiss cheese is close to accurate. I could have driven my car through those holes, a team with a running game and a good defense is going to beat Cincy in a bowl game. You can run all day on those teams.

HAHAHA, is there a team in the Big East that actually DOES play defense? Two top 25 teams that have absolute swiss cheese D.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 13, 2009 -> 08:46 AM) That doesn't make Seabs and Barker any less good. The two guys you mentioned are two of the best in the game. I know they are, I'm just saying if we need to move people, they wouldnt make my must keep list, thats all. We are going to have to have a roster turnover of several of the players on this team while keeping maybe 8 core guys in place.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Nov 13, 2009 -> 07:45 AM) My tickets are going straight on eBay. Ill take em. The are painful to watch, I think everyone knew that last night was going to be an ugly loss, we just didnt know how. I was at potbellys right before the game and there were several other bears fans and everyone had a look of concern on their faces. Alot different from the excitement several weeks ago.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 07:14 PM) You're on drugs. Barker and Seabrook are exceptional, exceptional NHL defensemen. I dont see them as must keeps like Kaner, Steeg, Toews, etc. I think Hjalms and Keith are a tier above them.

Ho-hum, 24 and 17 for Mr Turner.
