chisoxfn actually tweets nasty things about his employer all the time. just follow @iamgageiamsoxtalkgod and you will see.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Mar 22, 2012 -> 11:37 AM) Yes blah he did ok last year..................he has been in Oakland awhile and did mostly nothing! averaged 4.2 yards a carry for his career, 21 touchdowns in 4 seasons, rarely fumbled the ball. I wouldnt call that nothing

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Mar 22, 2012 -> 11:34 AM) IMO slap in the face to Forte why would a backup be a slap in the face. The slapped one is Marion Barber

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 22, 2012 -> 09:29 AM) How about fixing a different position with that 1st round pick? No problems with that, but if the Bears are targeting a WR and those are my choices, I go with the beast, not the midget. Despite Fathoms claims

If Stephen Hill and Kendall Wright are both on the board when the Bears pick, I want Hill.

RIP Lacy Banks

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 21, 2012 -> 04:35 PM) Quit yelling at me and talking down to me. Two weeks ago nobody was saying s*** about how the Royals had to deal Soria. He was to be the dominant closer on a team expected to be good What is so hard to understand about keeping an all-star closer? You don't always have to trade guys just because he's a closer and expected to get hurt at some point. KC on paper has a way better team than our beloved Sox and he was to be the automatic save man. greg, you conveniently ignore so many aspects of arguments, that you practically force people to talk down in order to get you to pay attention to what they are saying. Soria was an amazing closer for the past 3 years or so, but the guy has already had arm issues in the past, and last season you could see he was starting to lose his control. The Royals havent truly contended for a long time, and they werent expected to any of the seasons that Soria was an all star closer(nor did they contend). So they have this amazing closer rotting in the bullpen for a team that was winning maybe 70 games tops. Why would you keep that guy around? He is A: going to get more expensive(and we all know the Royals arent exactly big spenders), and B: possibly going to get injured, diminishing any value he has. The Royals could have had a sale to the highest bidder any one of the past 3 offseasons or trade deadlines and gotten a very good haul for Soria, contenders like the Phillies, Boston, even the Yankees would love to have a guy like him in the bullpen. But no, they say on him, and he blew out his arm. a wasted opportunity for a team that doesnt seem to get many opportunities

I bet Shockey did it because of Cam

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Mar 21, 2012 -> 01:31 PM) Wow that's way too early to say considering Beckman hasn't coached a game yet and we don't know who the basketball coach is, if anything fans like you are the problem I am no illini fan, I'm just calling it like I see it. You guys weren't exactly doing backflips when Beckman was hired, and truthfully I saw a lot of "who?" When he got the job. When the primary target says no, especially after the media hung on it like they did, fans usually aren't happy with the next guy in line. Its just the way it is.

Whoever it ends up being, it will be the 2nd/3rd/4th/X choice, Illini fans will not be happy, and he will start the season behind the 8-ball. Between this and Beckman, Thomas is really not having a great first run at being the Illini AD

*Waiting for cops to arrive* damn Jason Campbell

I wont post my pictures because I could get arrested

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 21, 2012 -> 08:53 AM) No, there were multiple posts complaining that the Bears haven't fixed the backup QB problem Oh, well before he was signed we were complaining, sure. But last week when he signed there was much rejoicing. There was a big party and you missed it. Steve passed out and we drew on his face with markers, it was awesome Steve

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 21, 2012 -> 12:48 AM) Then Murphy's Law has hit this team. They are expecting to be better this year and he was supposed to be the automatic save man again (yes he blew some saves last year) with some decent set up men before him. Man, even when we explain it to you, you dont get it. The Royals could have had a really nice haul for Soria, and could have players in his place that could move them forward towards competing in the AL Central. Instead, they held on to him and now they have nothing to show for it but an expensive guy on the DL getting tommy john surgery. Why is this hard to understand? It has nothing to do with Murphys Law, it has to do with being smart with your assets.

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 20, 2012 -> 09:18 PM) Jason Campbell is our free agent backup QB folks did you just find this out?

go out and have some steak. i mean carrots

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 20, 2012 -> 02:46 PM) Hey, your statement was wrong. Really, Dwight dominates on fast breaks or else he really needs to be set up well to dominate down low, be that with put backs or receiving the ball around the rim. He doesn't create his own shot most of the time, as he lacks a polished post game ala Pau Gasol. I was just pointing out how incorrect your statement was. i hate your face

Nobody will be happy either way. If you make the same story, showing a can of ooze in the sewer that 4 turtles and a rat happen to pass through and mutate into sentient beings, people will laugh at it. If you change the origin and make them aliens or whatever, people will laugh at it. It is what it is. A ridiculous story that must be treated as such. People wanting "gritty, dark, realistic" are just kidding themselves. Michael Bay is irrelevant here, I doubt he even does anything past executive producing.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 20, 2012 -> 01:27 PM) Hopefully they at least leave out Vanilla Ice this time. GO NINJA GO NINJA GO!

that would be funnier if Connecticut was blue

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 20, 2012 -> 09:29 AM) Um, Dwight is nowhere near the best post player in the league. That's actually one of his biggest problems is he hasn't developed a dominant post game. Oh whatever Steve. Dwight is a legit superstar, and his team forgets about him and goes jack-happy, you know what i meant

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 20, 2012 -> 09:31 AM) We all know that if he wants the job then it's his, most of us are assuming he doesn't want it. Hope I'm wrong. Mostly what I mean, if Bruce Weber wants the job, money will not be an issue. They dont have super high roller donors, but they can scrape together the funds if it is reasonable. BW wont be making what he made the last 9 years, but he wont be holding his hat out

Last night was pretty crazy to watch. Orlando started off ok, but when Dwight went to the bench with two fouls in the first the game was pretty much over. They just went straight to jacking threes as soon as they got close to the stripe, and the Bulls grabbed the rebounds and ran them out of the gym. I know Dwight didnt have a huge game and he needs to step up at times like that, but good god how can the rest of that roster continue to forget that the best post player in the league is waiting down low for a pass?

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 20, 2012 -> 08:22 AM) Not sure why Weber would want to come back to SIU. He'll get other offers from bigger schools and with him getting almost 4 million to go away, he doesn't have to coach next year. Bruce never really left. Pretty sure he didnt sell his house there, he always came down for charity events. The SIU administration loves him, if he wants the job it is his
