QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 09:40 AM) The Royals have reached agreement on a deal that will bring star left fielder Alex Gordon back to Kansas City, MLB.com’s Jeffrey Flanagan reports on Twitter. An official announcement could come later today, assuming Gordon passes his physical. Per MLBTR This Alex Gordon ballgame is Ovah This just puts them in a better position to compete with us.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 10:34 PM) Was there something especially juicy? Just saw he was partying again. Apparently, he showed up to practice last week sh**faced and was a no-show on Sunday.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 02:25 PM) Somebody please make Brian Kelly an offer he can't refuse. You keep saying this, but be careful what you wish for.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 10:57 PM) What will be interesting is what happens with David Ortiz? Remember the New York Times named him (and Sammy Sosa) as having failed his 2003 drug test which did not 'count' at the time for punishment by MLB. Mark I will be filled with schadenfreude if he gets the Bonds / Clemens treatment, but I'm not holding my breath.

People act like they haven't seen this play out before. a.) Surprise team Signs one of them. b.) Second team gets spooked about losing out and pays top $ for second player. c.) A few teams get in bidding war for third player.

I have no doubt that all 3 will be signing elsewhere. Again, the White Sox are acting like they are the only ones with money to spend. They'll get paid by someone else and everyone will be saying it's a good thing to not spend that much money. Then you'll be wondering why they are fighting for 4th place in the division.

Are the Bulls in on Santa Claus? I saw that the Rockets are close to signing him.

Yay, let's start a war with Russia.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 15, 2015 -> 01:29 PM) Was it clear how many years pass between the seasons? I found it kind of meh twist. Season 2 was 1979, and I believe 1 was in 2006.

I'm not sure how I feel about the Fargo season 2 finale. I'll have to let it set in. I'm not sure I buy

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 01:48 PM) After they merged with AT&T their customer service did not do the dance and I pulled the plug and moved to AT&T....AT&T sucks and does not have customer support at all and I assume Direct TV will go this way as well. In 13 months everything is going to Comcast in my house which is sad because I love Direct TV. AT&T wireless is dial up compared to Comcast. My internet has gone back about 10 years after moving to AT&T. AT&T's telecommunications is not strong enough to support the demands. Another kicker for AT&T Uverse though is promoting package choices and then realizing yes I have Showtime but not Showtime in HD. The whole AT&T platform is set up to gouge and f*** over the consumer. I'm seriously contemplating going with Comcast for TV after the football season. It's a shame because it's been a good run.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 09:51 AM) It's broadband not TV. They have both. https://fiber.google.com/about/

How long do you think it will be before you can just walk up for tickets? I know it depends where you are (how many screens), but I'd rather not deal with the Cosplayers and fanboys (no offense).

R.I.P. Robert Loggia.

NOT. ONE. MORE. INCH.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 07:37 PM) Obama and his false flag operations to try to take our guns away. Hey Greg, you posted that with the wrong account.

Which organ?

The White Sox signed David Price!? Then why is this here?

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Nov 21, 2015 -> 08:56 PM) These all green ND uniforms are very ugly. Agree , but they probably make it back + in merch. I don't think Oregon has ever worn the same thing twice. No idea

So Trump is all for Gestapo tactics? Is he trolling us all? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-po...erican-muslims/

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 18, 2015 -> 10:16 AM) Didn't want to make own thread. Nigeria President said today that a cabinet member basically stole billions meant to fight boko haram. Nigeria? So THAT's why I haven't received my check.

The ones I was talking about were apparently clean. The threats though, were external. Basically the traditional bomb scare, i.e. there's a bomb at / on such-and-such.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 17, 2015 -> 10:49 PM) Jindal drops out. http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-elect...ampaign-n465236 Wasn't he the guy a lot of people were calling the right's Obama? I.e., coming out of nowhere and shooting up the charts, to use a colloquialism.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 17, 2015 -> 05:19 PM) A government agency to proselytize Christianity around the world. LOL. They're playing right into the terrorists' hands.

2 Air France flights diverted after bomb threats (to Salt Lake City and Halifax). It's not yet known if threats are were credible.
