Middle Buffalo

I was in college during the early days of grunge, so this hits pretty hard. I remember just being stunned when I heard that Kurt Cobain died. I wasn't a huge Soundgarden fan, but Cornell definitely had one of the great rock voices of all time. "Say Hello 2 Heaven" is probably my favorite song that he sang. I just pulled it up on YouTube, and it stills holds up as a great vocal. Cool lyrics, too. Music is one of the things I find that can instantly transport me to another time. Sometimes I hear a song, and i know what it felt like to hear that song when I was in high school or college or on a road trip with friends. Condolences to all the fans that grew up with Chris Cornell as their background music.

Good thing he's only the President.

Obviously, this is a pretty simple interpretation of photos and videos I've seen, but look at how comfortable and loose Trump looks with the Russians in the photos vs. how stiff and uncomfortable he has looked with Germany, Japan, Canada, et al.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 15, 2017 -> 03:14 PM) I think we really need to prosecute the people who leaked that Trump gave away information to Russia. Obviously these people are criminals and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I believe Jeff Sessions is working on a memorandum of law that anyone who leaks information should be charged with treason and are enemy combatants, therefore falling outside of the Geneva Convention. So, it's ok for Trump to leak intelligence, but treason if someone leaks the information that Trump leaked intelligence? Makes sense to me. :

Yep. It's ASU Gammage. It a nice theater. Pretty casual, though I shake my head at some of the people who show up in basketball shorts and the like. Balcony is super steep like Sox park's upper deck. I had front row of the balcony a few years ago, and the railing height was right around my knee level. One little stumble on the way to my seat = no more Middle Buffalo. Luckily, I'm tremendously athletic.

I just bought season tix for ASU next year (I've had season tix a few times in the past, as well). 8 shows - including Hamilton - cost $240. Granted, they're balcony seats, but the Hamilton ticket was $30. Had to buy a season ticket to get it, though, but it's a good place to see shows.

For a guy who claims that he doesn't like Trump, Greg sure fights hard to defend him.

I'd love to know who Greg voted for President. I'll say this about Greg - he may be infuriating with his lack of consistency politically, but at least he's a respectful poster. Some people in this thread would do well to emulate his overall demeanor.

Simple rule: If Joe Maddon does it, it's brilliant. To my knowledge, Joe hasn't done this move. Therefore - preposterous suggestion.

There was a pretty good article comparing the Bears' move for Trubisky with the Chargers' move in '98 from 3 to 2. The Chargers paid a ton more, and they ended up with Ryan Leaf. Chargers gave up 1, 2, & two players. Frank Scwab wrote the part I'm referencing. https://sports.yahoo.com/news/bears-trubisk...-194335519.html

Our notoriously frugal president probably just doesn't like that the dinner is a charity event. He can take the insults - bigly. But those poor kids can pay for their own schooling.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 1, 2017 -> 03:03 PM) At least I answer questions and make my comments known. I can't get a straight answer out of anybody on this board. I'm all for the media asking whatever they want, but if you do press, there's a good chance the interview will end abruptly. That reporter did a nice job. He'll be known for his aggressiveness and being a good reporter. He'll never get another interview with Trump, however, which is fine. That probably doesn't bother the reporter. I don't blame Trump for ending the interview, though. They were at an impasse and he kept pressing Trump so Trump, who has the hammer, said bye bye. It's a win/win. The reporter did a nice job being aggressive and will be well known for not backing down. The reporter gave Trump an opportunity to clarify his statement. Trump is on record saying "lying press" & "fake news," etc. So, here he has an opportunity to explain what he meant when he was talking about the wiretapping. And, rather than clarify, he ended the interview. Sure, he has the hammer, but I don't see how you can think he was in the right. As for the WHCD, I'm not sure your interpretation of Trump's position is wrong. Trump would have been roasted, but he would have had an opportunity for rebuttal. The truth is he is very thin skinned. It has been evident since the debates. But, Trump continues to prove that he is just a bully, and as soon as someone turns the table on him or has an opportunity (the reporter & WHCD), he runs and hides. And, Greg, it's ironic that you are getting frustrated by people not answering your questions, but you are defending Trump for doing the same and and being evasive.

Good stuff StrangeSox. I'm pretty sure Trump is becoming da man.

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ May 1, 2017 -> 12:39 AM) Jimmy Carter also skipped WHCD http://www.weeklystandard.com/nixon-carter...article/2007004 The press has been so unfair to Trump. So unfair. They handled Obama & the Clintons with kid gloves.

Lots of Key & Peele names already, and it's only the first round.

Rondo or not, last two games were embarrassing and really displayed the flaws of the roster outside of Butler. It's unlikely the Bulls win another game this series. The first 2 games were an aberration. GARPAX aren't going anywhere. They'll put a positive spin on everything once the season is over. You know how it was good for Fred and their young guys to get some playoff experience, and how Bobby Portis proved he's a good piece to have moving forward. DAT GM TALK. I really hope WADE isn't back next season. (plz don't bring back DROSE either RUH ROH) This video with DRose makes me like him again.

What a great time to be a non-Cubs Chicago sports fan.

If you asked me when Humber threw his perfect game, it's as likely that I would have guessed ten years ago as I would have guessed five. I have no frame of reference for his time with the Sox.

So, the one PBP guy sounds a little like Wayne Larivee, and the color guy sounds like Lars Ulrich.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 20, 2017 -> 12:55 PM) Man, I could copy and paste this all day long in this forum. You can also just pop in here every few days and say, "I don't even understand what you guys are arguing about," and the post wouldn't be out of place at all.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 19, 2017 -> 12:11 PM) Do they not have bridges in Arizona? Well, London Bridge (the London Bridge) is in Lake Havasu. Haven't seen it listed for sale, though.

Hawks have been getting beat to every 50/50 puck. Preds seem faster and bigger. Nice combination.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 12:08 PM) Yeah, there's no excuses for that one. Probably figured they stopped looking for the old school stuff.
