QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 12:24 PM) I don't understand what you're expecting really, besides being an elite team that contends for a title every year. The Thunder have 3 young super stars and they lost to the Heat in 5 just like we did. Do you expect us to be the Heat? We can't. Not every team in the NBA can be a Miami Heat. Those guys colluded to go to South Beach, they took pay cuts. We assembled a team we mostly drafted and developed ourselves and we became an elite team in the league, nobody is better than us when we're healthy (except arguably the Heat). There's lots to be proud of here. I love our guys, I love our core, I think we can win with this core. This team is not an elite team, Im sorry. They just are not. Derrick is an elite player that elevates the talent around him, but he needs help and the FO has to understand that. This offseason is not helping him. This offseason is just collecting odd parts and throwing them out on the court and hoping that when Derrick comes back, they are as good as the bench mob. Teams like LA, Boston, Dallas, and now Miami are elite because they dont wait for good things to happen to their team(like waiting for Rose). They MAKE things happen. Im sorry you dont see that and you keep thinking "well if we wait they will all get better." It simply doesnt work that way in the NBA.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 12:11 PM) Malcontent. Realist. Some of us are buying what Garpax are selling Others, have seen this story before. Like about 6 years ago when Ben, Lou, and Kirk were the up and coming core that was untouchable. It got us NOTHING. But please, tell me about this great playmaker next to Rose named Patrick Beverley some more.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 12:04 PM) Wow. We struck gold by drafting Luol Deng, Joakim Noah, and Taj Gibson. That's awesome. As for Rose, yes, they made the right pick, but they won the draft lottery with a 1.7% chance. That's the very definition of random luck. Dont forget the elite part. Thats awesome as well.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 11:07 AM) Well as part owner of the team, I have to keep my composure. This is why I am glad that the bears are privately owned. I can just be a douche to you and there are no repurcussions

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 11:15 AM) No, let's despair and wallow in self pity and disappointment instead. get over it guys, honestly...Bulls fans have become such a whiny bunch.... Sunshine Rainbows and Uneeeeeecorns!

Hopefully the offense can continue to wake up, more bombs from Dunn, Konerko and Rios please thank you very much GO SOX!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:54 AM) I think the big name guys deserve their own thread so you can follow the specifics regarding such player. That was in jest, should have been in green

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:53 AM) I know it originated when the Sox were interested in Griffey Jr., but was it during the 2005 season? Yeah, because it was Rowand that would have been displaced

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:25 AM) Why would Greinke cost that much more than Dempster? Because Caulfield said their GM would laugh at us, thats why

Maybe we should make a "Miami Marlins on the block" mega thread.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:49 AM) Fixed they for you. They randomly got lucky and won the lottery and got a star. Beyond that, they've shown zero initiative nor ability to field a true contender. Teams like the Celtics and Lakers force deals and spend the luxury tax to build Championship quality teams. The Bulls used to be mentioned in the same breath as the great franchises in the NBA, but the 6 trophies are getting further and further away, and now our great hope in Derrick Rose may never be the same again. Don't worry, though, we're a lock for a 7 seed and nowhere near the lottery. We're money! Dont Panic. Patrick Beverley and Malcolm Thomas are on the way

lol BUT WHERE WOULD HE PLAY??? Soxtalk classic

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:18 AM) Why would they want to move him? They want to win and he is a valuable piece to winning. They want to move some of the bums it appears. Yeah, Infante and Sanchez are bums

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 08:42 AM) You won't be saying that come Week 2. You have been remarkably civil even when GB is thrashing the Bears.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 08:49 AM) Where the hell did Oakland come from? http://www.oaklandnet.com/celebrate/Historytimeline.htm

I will say this: KW never pulled the rug out from under Ozzie like what we may see in the next month from Beinfest.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 07:26 AM) True, but his overall results don't match his talent. He has his Cy Young year and is unbeatable at Miller Park. But his road results in the NL have been below average, and his other seasons in KC were solid, but not dominant by any means. Im not saying we should think he is the best ever, but it is not hard to understand why organizations want a pitcher like Greinke. Everyone wants to be the organization he is with when he puts it all together again

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 02:02 PM) I will never understand the Greinke love Why? The kid is amazingly talented

Epic heel turn by punk

Lita was holy s*** hot tonite

Well Backlund was wrong or they changed it because he let it slip

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 05:23 PM) Is this a guess? Or did you see it somewhere? I believe Bob Backlund let it slip in an interview after his RAW appearance a few weeks ago

QUOTE (Carter224 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 07:14 PM) Oh whatever, if they had done something immediately it wouldn't have been anywhere near as bad. If they did something immediately, Joe Pa could have been a hero IMO. But I think they honestly thought they could completely bury it

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 05:36 PM) Well there was a lot less CGI used in the last two movies. Batman Begins was supposed to have such a dark overtone which was particularly grimy, and influenced by crime. Essentially, it was supposed to be ghetto Gotham as the crimelords didn't care for the city, nor the people in it. Wayne's father was trying to keep it alive. One of the symbols of that is the Narrows/EL and it being all tagged up. The Chicago Board of Trade was primarily used as Wayne's HQ along with Wayne's Manor(which was shot in England I believe) in Batman Begins. In the 2nd one, it's the Daley Center IIRC. There really wasnt too much CGI in the first, really. Basically seeing through the eyes of the people who were on gas, and when the gas was released into the city. I love that Nolan stays away from CGI as much as he can

My twisted logic on the vacated wins is this: Paterno and the higher ups chose to hide this evil deed(s) from the public in order to shield their program from any negativity they would get from the reaction that the fabled D-Coordinator was in fact a child rapist. While there was no outright visible competitive advantage, there was an advantage that nobody knew, so recruits wouldnt be scared off, donors wouldnt withhold donations, the program maintained its pristine image. There was a benefit to the program to keep this under lock and key. The vacated wins are symbolic, nothing else. Those games were won, fair and square. But now in the books, everyone has to see Paterno down at 12 instead of 1, and they will always know why that was. It is a point that will never be forgotten. Thats just my opinion Here are some twitter reactions to the sanctions http://deadspin.com/5928385/i-hope-u-all-f...tate-punishment
