  1. good god I'm forced to watch this crap on nba tv with the horrible GSW announcers. Brutal
  2. That's the definition of over the back on green
  3. somehow only down 6. Feels like it should be 25
  4. i moved from chicago to small ~100,000 city in Minnesota about 7 months ago, and let me tell you....the pizza here is just god awful miserable. Ive tried a half dozen places here (the ones the locals say are good) and I just can't do it anymore. I've decided that if I am going to spend 25 bucks on ordered pizza, I'd rather just pay 30 dollars a pizza to have Lou's shipped. I agree, however, that the shipped pizza is not nearly as good (and is significantly smaller than when you get it locally also - they are only 9 inches). The only other somewhat reasonable option is to go retro-college style and get papa johns. And its not even the deep dish that I crave....the local thin crust here is horrendous. What I wouldn't give for a Palermo's, Aureilo's, Vito and Nick's, thin crust Giordano's, etc etc. The sausage people eat here is barely passable (and don't even get me started on the "hamburger" meat people put on ...yuck) Lets not just stop at Pizza either. Everyone knows Chicago has phenomenal dining all around. I knew moving here I wouldn't have access to all the famous restaurants with great chefs. And to be honest, in Chicago, I found most of those places were often not THAT much better than just the average solid restaurant (and often were not worth the hassle/waits/overall douchieness that accompanied them). But what those famous restaurants in Chicago do.... is drive up the quality of the competition, i.e the average run of the mill restaurant. There are like 3-4 solid, average to slightly above average restaurants here, and thats it. everything else is subpar. I thought moving to a smaller town, that at least I could find a solid breakfast. That seems like something a small town should be good at....but nope. Not a single one. The "best breakfast in town" has limited options, barely any fresh veggie options, and forget any semblance of any ethnic influence. /end rant
  5. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 20, 2015 -> 03:53 PM) If the Ravens went Trestman over Gase, I don't think I want Gase anymore. Rip me if you want, but i actually think trestman will make a pretty good OC
  6. not even close who the better team was top to bottom. How often do you see a team lose the turnover battle by 4 and win. Let alone against Oregon. Let alone win by 20+. They coulda won by 40 Game really confirms what many have said about mariota for a long time - he's going to struggle in a pro style against pro defenses
  7. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 11, 2015 -> 04:19 PM) Once I saw that ball pop up after hitting the ground I said no. The ground jarred it loose. That's fine. I guess you and I have a different interpretation then. In my opinion, the ball is obviously caught and controlled, Bryant extends his arm for end zone, changing the course of the controlled ball, and it's jarred as it hits the ground after it was possessed and caught. Clearly the rules are the rules, and according to those rules - it was the correct call, so it's moot. Either way I hate the damn packers. Go seahawks
  8. Throw out the rules. Watch the reply and ask yourself, did he catch that ball? You are lying if you say no. The call was correct, cuz it's a dumb rule
  9. just binge listened in 2 days. Intriguing stuff. We must bear in mind that we as listeners are 100% dependent upon how Koenig chooses to portray the story. I think she does so somewhat impartially, but I'm not sure. My gut tells me Adnan MUST be involved, and that he and Jay are both lying in some capacity. Jay has come out since and has said his inconsistencies were due to protecting his family and himself, which I think makes sense. Either way it is completely obvious that Adnans attorneys were absolutely stupid to not win this case. It seemed so obvious that the defense could disprove Jay and there was a complete lack of any other evidence

    2014 TV thread

    that was really the season finale of homeland? seriously? Nothing happened
  11. was not overly impressed with clausen. That said not a huge difference between #8 and #6. I think you gotta take whatever you can get for cutler this offseason
  12. QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 13, 2014 -> 02:54 PM) I was at one of the Buehrle-Mulder hr and 40 minute games back in the day which was amazing but as you said it felt like I was barely there Fog game iirc
  13. QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 01:41 PM) Have we ever had a left handed roogy? Ehren Wasserman?
  14. QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 09:07 AM) We also lost a second round pick. No reason to not go over projected slot on the 1st round pick, which the sox have been willing to do more recently
  15. mully just said on mullyhanley that there's a report in Tampa that the sox have inquired about Evan longoria. Not sure his availability nor am I sure that we have the assets to get him
  16. This is a very important draft for us. The samardzija deal didn't kill us but did tap into our depth a bit. With our payroll near maxed, need to keep influxing young affordable players into the major league team
  17. i like the deal. That said semien is an underrated piece around here and nationally. Guy had .420 obp in AA 2 years ago and a .380 obp with 15 HR in just 80 AAA games last year and just now turned 24.
  18. QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 11:20 AM) Would you trade Cutler straight up for RG3? Take into consideration that RG3 only has one year left on his deal while Cutler has 2+. Yes. I'd have rather have a guy I am 99% sure is not the answer for 1 year,(RGIII) ,than I guy I am 100% sure is not the answer for 2 years (cutler)
  19. josh mccown - great guy, really bad football player
  20. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 23, 2014 -> 03:27 PM) Bye Briggs IMO one of the most overrated players in bears history
  21. Having moved to SE Minnesota, there's a huge contingent of middle age fat dudes who drive pick up trucks with like15 year old acid washed Lee denim jean, carhartt shirts and camo Packers hats. I thought living in Boston during the celticsand Red Sox championship, and patriots 16-0 season was bad, but these fans are by far worse
  22. 35-0 and Rodgers throws it deep on play action. i have 0 problem if we start diving at his knees
  23. Cuter will turn the ball over. Lebrons team will get every call. Rose will get hurt. Sun will rise in east.
  24. regardless of the outcome of tonight, I think this Bulls team is much closer to the cavs than any previous Bulls team was to a heat team... Roses mvp season included
