LET'S MAKE A LIST OCTOBER '11 - FAVORITE SPORTS MOVIES
QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 26, 2011 -> 12:44 PM) Yes and no. Athletically they are but to me, what differentiates sports from skills is interaction with your competitors. It's not cut and dry but with the activities I mentioned, you can't really affect the other person at all (pool you kind of can). It's just who does better. At least with poker, there is a direct interaction with your adversary and what you do or don't can and does affect the other. Like checkers, chess, or backgammon!

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 26, 2011 -> 12:40 PM) Bowling, pool, golf, darts, archery etc... are more skills than sports to me I can agree to that, but they're all much, much, much, much, much closer to being sports than poker is.

Poker is not a sport in any sense. I just want to clarify that.

2011 TV Thread
Sons is getting extremely predictable and formulaic, I think. I'd be surprised if anyone at all didn't see . It'll get the guys who were against being mules for the cartel to jump right on board, and you could see it all coming a the very second that . The first two seasons were really great, and this season is still enjoyable and entertaining, but it's the same damn crap every episode. It's either some convenient solution introduced each episode that you can see coming (like today) or some deus ex machina s***. And why the f*** would that wealthy guy trust Clay again after he's f***ed him over several times already? He wouldn't. Some of the characters are becoming inconsistent.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Oct 25, 2011 -> 03:35 PM) My in-laws have a newspaper that shows the listing of their house when they bought it. On the exact same page there is a listing of my parents' house. We lived there until I was in the 3rd grade. See, that's cool s***.

Two sports, same cities, same day
QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 25, 2011 -> 03:18 PM) I'm pretty confident the hawks, sox, and bulls all played detroit teams on the same day not too long ago. So 2 had to be in the same city. I remember that, but I think it might have been in the same weekend, so not necessarily.

Pieces to start moving soon
Haha, I can't believe Jordan Danks is the center of so much discussion. I've said it before and will repeat what SS2k5 has already mentioned in this thread. Jordan Danks is only ever mentioned because he is the younger brother of John Danks. He will amount to little, if anything, at the major league level. I couldn't care less if they decide they want to protect him or not.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Oct 25, 2011 -> 02:46 PM) It isn't. Pretty much nothing from the trailer is in the movie. And I'm not exaggerating. The 3rd was an utter disappointment. Still scary as s*** with a lot of jumpy terrifying moments, but it didn't explain a whole lot in regards to the first 2. Wait, what? I assume you mean that the only good parts were in the trailer.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Oct 25, 2011 -> 02:25 PM) You're welcome. I absolutley loved it. Anywho, The Trip was fun. I didn't love it though. It had its funny moments and I loved all the impressions, but as someone said, the ending was abrupt and in general, it was kind of depressing. Transformers 3 was awesome. I don't give a s*** what you say or how much you hate it, those movies are entertaining as all hell. I've got Thor and X-Men: First Class coming tomorrow. Now, to the important stuff: HAS NO ONE ELSE SEEN PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3?????? You're in for a treat with those two. I haven't seen any of the Paranormal Activity movies and wasn't even interested in them, but this new one looks a lot better than the others did.

Reinsdorf’s U.S. Cellular Field Lease In Jeopardy?
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 25, 2011 -> 02:17 PM) Not sure, but equity is still not profit. They are seperate things. Also FYI, JR is not the biggest owner of the team by financial stake. He represents the group as the President of sorts, but he is not the #1 guy in terms of how much of the team he owns. I've been aware of that for a long time, but I've always wondered who was the biggest shareholder.

Reinsdorf’s U.S. Cellular Field Lease In Jeopardy?
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 25, 2011 -> 02:09 PM) Really though...the White Sox have been in the bottom half of MLB in attendance every year for the last 5 years (last year they were in the top 10 was 2006)...and yet they've been in the top 7 (or higher) in payroll every year since the Series win except for 2009. That behavior is not the norm. But, is it also not the norm to have such an incredibly low rent and such a large profit from parking?

Frank Thomas: I could be the White Sox hitting coach.
I was just afraid that someone was going to come in saying that Frank is being a prima donna and airing it in public to coerce the team into hiring him. I guess there's still time for somebody to make that argument. Marty?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 25, 2011 -> 01:53 PM) Things that seem extraordinarily unlikely can become more likely when you change the circumstances. 6 miles of atmosphere is a long way for a meteor . Is this whole thing because I said "meteor" instead of "meteorite"?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 25, 2011 -> 01:58 PM) Why? What does Theo owe him? Sandberg's got a good thing going in Phillie, Theo can use that as an excuse and go get a guy he actually wants. He doesn't owe him anything, but the media and fan backlash from hiring Martinez over Sandberg would probably be rather large. It might just be easier to go in another direction entirely. You realize that Sandberg's wife is one of the players' wives that Martinez f***ed and that it's general knowledge, right?
