QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 24, 2012 -> 11:52 AM) Ya I'm not getting excited until they play a real division 1 school(tonight). But the talent isn't as bad as people thought. Early, Daniels and Beane are really fn good. We're not going to be able to compete with Creighton, ISU or WSU but I wouldn't be shocked if they're playing in the 4-5 game in st Louie. Beane blew me away, i was very surprised at how he looked like he belonged

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 22, 2012 -> 10:16 PM) I just think he's a very streaky hitter, all or nothing. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. How exactly would you know when the good streak will start? If he starts the season 0-8, do you bench him for the rest of the season? So many questions, so many questions

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 24, 2012 -> 09:27 AM) Even with SLU banged up I fully expect them to win but if we can pull it out ill start to believe that we might not be playing on Thursday come March. Directtv master Kyyle is there any chance this game is on tv tonight? Nope, I looked. Doesnt look like it is covered for SLU or SIU. The only thing listed is radio stations to tune into. QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Nov 24, 2012 -> 11:15 AM) Also seems SIU is actually pretty solid. Which is great. Now just gotta get Bradley to not be so awful. Tonite is a huge indicator for me. SIU is really undersized this year, only 3 forwards over 6'6" that play, everyone else is a 6'5" or below guard. Tonite SLU has the size matchup bigtime, their frontcourt is 6'11"©, 6'7"(F) and 6'6"(F). They will be going against a starting lineup of 4 guards and 1 forward Dantiel Daniels, who is 6'6". SIU is going to have to play up tempo and make their shots.

quite an interesting behind the scenes view of the production and editing of The Hobbit

ESPN Sources saying Percy Harvin is out on sunday

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 23, 2012 -> 04:05 PM) Part of Greg's comments may be because I kept saying I have empathy for anyone in that situation and people kept saying, Yeah, but Mark has money, Mark did this or Mark did that. I'm guessing all those comments could be rewritten to say, anyone with enough money, or anyone with a really cool job, or anyone who can walk away, does not deserve empathy. It isn't specific to Mark, but he was used as an example. And we would take him back under that contract, as long as someone was picking up some of it. Hell, just redistribute it. Those last two years are killer

It will be interesting to see McDermott take Creighton into the tournament a few years in a row. Dana Altman always took tremendously talented teams to the tournament that lost in the first or second round, i wonder if McDermott will go farther

what channel is Creighton/Wisconsin?

So, fine or suspension?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 23, 2012 -> 02:38 PM) Are you f***ing high? LMAO And greg, no sports psychologist needed. Nobody said they didnt like Buehrle

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 23, 2012 -> 02:15 PM) You could be right about the drinking. Or you could be wrong, way wrong. He may just like a beer or two after a game. Just cause he says he gets plastered all the time doesn't mean it's true. He says a lotta things. yea he says a lot of things like "I like to get drunk and then take sleeping pills"

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 23, 2012 -> 02:11 PM) It should be penalty, but not negate the automatic review. agreed, but damn Schwartz, someone needs to tell you that THIS JUST HAPPENED TO MIKE SMITH IN ATLANTA THIS WEEKEND

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 23, 2012 -> 01:57 PM) Does the Wii U tablet have wi-fi itself? Almost seems like it would be a good tablet in and of itself. It connects via bluetooth to the WiiU console itself, and also to your home theater. But i think the Wifi connection is what comes through the actual console itself. QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Nov 23, 2012 -> 01:47 PM) Yeah, Move is IMO, way better than the Wii, it just never got the support from game developers. SCEA should have made more games too. Sports Champions 1 is really solid, and I heard the 2nd one that just came out is really good too, but outside of those, I have yet to find an interesting game. Of course it is better. It has 5 years of development after the Wiimotes came out. Now Nintendo is basically done with that, and Sony is realizing that it is died down because they arent getting the support. Hence, WiiU gamepad and back to traditional controllers(even though WiiMotes and nunchuks are still functional with the WiiU)

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 23, 2012 -> 07:55 AM) Would that qualify as a "dirty sanchez"? absolutely

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 22, 2012 -> 08:41 PM) DET has to sort out a lot of issues. Their closer situation, although they have some good internal candidates in Villarreal and Alburquerque, to name a few. Dotel and Benoit were also quite shaky down the stretch, as we all know, bullpens are made to implode from year to year, although expecting the disaster they had with Valverde to repeat itself is about the same as expecting 49/49 again, like 2011. They've got lots of guys like Young, Boesch and Berry that are more like 4th outfielders than starters, which is obviously why they traded for Hunter, not to mention his leadership abilities. Then again, Young is one of those guys who could potentially go on another extended run like he did in the playoffs or in 2010 with the Twins. They should really move Peralta off SS. Infante was horrible at 2B, too. That's a HUGE Achilles' heel, their middle infield. Avila playing like an average catcher and not looking like a sure-fire All-Star also hurt them a LOT. Yes, Verlander and Scherzer could get hurt. But so could Sale or Peavy or Floyd or any number of Sox pitchers. Basically, with Fister, Porcello and Smyly, they have a better rotation than us, and that's not ruling out their bringing back Anibal Sanchez (who was great for them after a slow start) or signing a FA pitcher, like Greinke. They probably WON'T go that route, but imagine if they did? We can't even dream of signing an impact player at this point....unfortunately any changes will have to come via the trade route. Young is a FA and after Hunter was signed it made him less likely to return. I have read they plan on moving on

the Cowboys are getting the 49er treatment at home

Jerry Jones is gonna be firing some people soon

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 22, 2012 -> 12:28 PM) The exact reason I got one on launch day. I'd have to buy one eventually to play those 1st party games, so I figured I'd get one now. I do think there is a pretty big base of Nintendo gamers that will always support the company, but Nintendo is not flop proof IMO. The GamePad is pretty cool, but I want to see some truly unique experiences with it and that's going to have to come from Nintendo. 3rd parties are just going to port the s*** out of the system by adding touch screen gimmicks. Nintendo needs a Mario/Zelda/Metroid that does something incredible by next Christmas or the system is going to lose steam fast, especially with new consoles from Microsoft & Sony around the corner. What really scares me though is that it took Nintendo basically the life of the Wii system to create a game that could really showcase the potential of motion gaming (Skyward Sword), so god only knows how long before we see that killer app for the Wii U. Also, without a Wii Sports like title that caters to casual gamers, which Nintendoland won't do well enough IMO, Nintendo will lose a big chunk of their current market share. I'm really looking forward to pikmin and Zelda, plus whatever Mario solo title they come out with. I loved galaxy 1 and 2

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Nov 21, 2012 -> 08:24 PM) I'm probably going to be called a bad fan, but yeah, I find them difficult to watch without Rose as well. They're not exactly bad, just mediocre offense and good defense that results in some uninspiring stretches. Nah, you aren't a bad fan if you call it like you see it. This bulls team isn't necessarily unlike able, try are just hard to like(and watch)

QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 21, 2012 -> 06:52 PM) There are far too many Nintendo fans for that to be true. It may not be a huge success, but it won't flop. As long as they have Mario, Zelda, metroid in their back pocket, Nintendo will continue to play as long as they want. People keep predicting flops, they keep on selling product.

I am not excusing what Rachal did here, you never leave your team. But I want to know why Rachal is getting demoted for Spencer here, when all we saw on Monday night was Webb and Carimi getting their asses handed to them?

and the molotov cocktail has landed
