QUOTE(sircaffey @ Feb 6, 2008 -> 01:29 PM) Hawk makes the games less exciting. Zzzzz...As far as tone, personality, and commentary DJ and Hawk have to be one of the most boring duos in baseball. I pity those fans who has worse. Hawk might be Sox baseball, but he also detracts people from watching or listening. I mean, look how many die hard Sox fans here dislike him. I can't imagine common viewers would like him. At least Hughes keeps Santo in check. DJ is not capable of this, and at times the broadcast is just unbearable. Hawk is fine in small bits, but listening to him for 3 hours is painful at times. Why Stone is not in the Sox booth is beyond me. He is far more interesting and far more objective. At least to me... I think Stone is happy doing whatever he wants in regards to baseball right now. Sometimes he is on the radio calling games, sometimes he calls into the Score, in the summer he hosts on the Score, and he doesnt have to travel with any team. Last year he was asked many times about doing the White Sox and Cubs exclusively and he continued to repeat the same mantra "Im happy doing what I am doing". I just think he was burned out with the way the Cubs had treated him at the end and wanted a break until he felt like getting back into it.

The kid in me loves watching "The Sandlot". Me and my childhood buddies had a similar thing going on in Carol Stream: ghost runners, 7 people playing a full game, cranky neighbors, kids down the block challenging us to random games. the only thing we were missing was the negro league ballplayer who would have been better than Babe Ruth. unfortunately, that guy must have lived in Streamwood.

Does Flair just go away, or do you think WWE works him into the show as a mouthpiece or GM role?

I would like to know how many people liked Hawk when he was with Wimpy vs Hawk when he is with DJ. To me, Hawk and Wimpy was the glory years for Hawk. he always seemed to have a good time with Wimpy(of course until the end) and he was never as argumentative(at least that I noticed). Now he just seems to get crotchity(sp?) and wants to tell DJ how right he is about everything. I dunno, maybe it is the age gap between the two that throws off the dynamic. I will always love Hawk for his blind homerism and love for the organization. he drives me insane sometimes, and I definitely tune him out more often than not, but I do not look forward to the day that someone else will be making the homerun calls, as much as "you can put it on the board" is overplayed.

QUOTE(SnB @ Feb 6, 2008 -> 09:10 AM) as much as everyone doesn't like him.........he is white sox baseball to me. I can't imagine watching a game and not having hawk talk about catfish hunter. whenever I think of Hawk talking about anything that he is repetitive about, I think of SSI71's post about Hawk being a robot

I have been watching the Urban Myths show on the Bio channel recently. I really like the show, it presents 3 different Urban Myths, of which one is true. There is a complete backstory on each myth, with people offering commentary and narration of each story, and at the end of the show the true Urban Myth is revealed. Plus, at every commercial break they offer a minor Urban Myth and give you the truth about the the myth when the show returns from the commercial break. Sometimes it is plainly obvious which myth is true, but most of the time I wonder about it until the end of the show. Me and my wife usually bet which one we feel is true. Another show I have been addicted to is Cash Cab on the discovery channel. The looks on some of those peoples faces when the cab lights up are just priceless.

What did Willie Andrews do to Mr Anonymous to piss him off that much, i wonder?

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 10:17 AM) Well stats and results do have to come into play to some degree. I mean, if I was a Vikings fanatic and I insisted that the '85 Vikings were the best team ever, that would be wrong. I can say my favorite team is the '85 Vikings because I loved everything about them, but they were not the best team. I agree. But this isnt a discussion about a team that went 7-9, this is about a team that went undefeated and won the Superbowl. The Dolphins played the teams in front of them and won every game. No other team since 1972 has done this, and that is a hard fact to ignore, whether you think the league was watered down or not. Why didnt any team go undefeated when there was league expansion? Was there ever another year where the caliber of play was considered less than par? so many factors and opinions, nobody is truly right or wrong

QUOTE(shipps @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 10:11 AM) I have to go get my drivers license renewed tomorrow and they are requiring me to take the written test because of my speeding violations.I wonder if I should study? I havent taking any drivers test in like 8 years its probably all common sense questions anyways isnt it? The written test was the same when I renewed my license last year, identify some street signs, proper course of action in a given situation. I didnt get any wrong, and didnt study, and I didnt know I had to take it

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 08:45 AM) I had this debate with a friend yesterday, and we came up with 12 teams that were for sure better and another 6 which might have been. The 1972 Dolphins know this though, they're not stupid, which is why they root so hard for 17-0 to stand IMO. They know they were just a really good (not great) team that took advantage of a very poor NFL that year, and that if somebody goes 19-0, they'll be forgotten forever not only as the only perfect team, but also as a great team in general. As for Dolphin fans who sit there and say the '72 Dolphins are still the best team, well of course they are going to say that, it's their favorite team. They are wrong, and most weren't even around to see that team play, but it's their team. Dolphins fans will say the '72 team is the best, Bear fans will say the '85 team is the best. It's just how it is, fans are homers who can't put away personal loyalties to look at things in perspective, and that's a shame. You dont quite understand the concept of "opinion" whether you think they are better or not, it doesnt matter because you are comparing eras. Your opinion on who is better isnt going to sway my opinion, or shadows opinion, and sitting there and telling us we are wrong and blind homers is the pot meet kettle. Im not even a Dolphins fan, and I despise the 72 Dolphins, but Im not goign to sit here and tell Shadows that he is wrong because he thinks his favorite team, the last undefeated team in NFL history, is the best.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 06:02 AM) Oh please not him kyyle23, I've seen way too much of that pimple popping freak over the past few weeks. LOL, sorry DBAHO. The kid just cracks me up

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 09:18 PM) Is there a line that gets crossed and then it's a meaningless gesture? Sure. When you start seeing the jerseys in Wisconsin during Deer hunting season, the line is crossed. In all series-ness, this is about putting a different kind of jersey on the rack in the pro shop, and nothing else.

Good interview of Paul Heyman

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 02:00 PM) The 85 Bears were not smaller and slower than today's players. They match up quite well physically with modern players. Go back to the teams from the 70s and 60s, and your argument about the speed/size factor is much better. Basically, as Hampton said, the 85 Bears' strengths were running the ball and pressuring the QB. That plays well into the weaknesses of the 07 Patriots. Who would win? I wouldn't bet against the 85 Bears against any team. On Friday Boers and Bernstein compared the sizes of the 85 Bears defensive line vs the 07-08 Patriots offensive line, the only player that was smaller than his opponent was Steve McMichael. And I wouldnt bet against Mongo either, against any offensive lineman

Wait, Shingo was drafted?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 09:17 AM) It would be interesting to see a tide chart for the area, most of the time the body would have washed up on shore. Not if they fed her to the sharks that she wanted to see so badly

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 09:13 AM) The guiltiest of the guilty pleasures from reality TV returns tonight. PARADISE HOTEL 2 is on WPWR and Fox Reality Channel. Four years ago, I watched the first series and it was so unbelievably trashy that I watched every episode. LOL, my wife watched that trainwreck too. She was completely into it, she loved watching the creepy dork go insane because he loved that girl who didnt really care about him

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 08:24 AM) I agree with you. The sad thing is, he didn't do anything wrong until the disposing of the body. If she goes into the seizure and dies, like he thinks, he could of just called the cops or paramedics. What a lapse in judgement. Send the kid away for a long time! I think those kids were on some hard drugs at the time. I have heard a couple of different stories, involving extacy and cocaine. If he was supplying her with these drugs like has been said, he would have been up a creek without a paddle if she died the way he said she did

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 07:50 AM) So...did Pratt go into hiding or did he do something else drastic??? he is looking up every available definition of "class"
