Those two are one and the same if you ask me. Yesterday when watching the replay of the T.O.'s press conference, I couldnt help but think that Rosenhaus looked like he jumped right out of an episode of "Playmakers" and onto ESPNews. The whole press conference came off as being fake and scripted, even the reporters didnt seem real. T.O. was doing ok yesterday until Rosenhaus took the mic, and after that I saw millions fall off of his upcoming payday.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) The question is, what is his purpose? His purpose is to acquire lots and lots of money.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 02:47 PM) Most of the time, if there's two people in a stall, it's either sex or coke. Based on the agressive behavior and that 'look' in those mug shots, my guess is it was the dummy dust. I was thinking the same thing Los. The girls got doped up and got pissed when they were asked to leave. I guess it would be better to be called a Lesbian than it would to be called a cokehead.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) If he acts like he did last year than i have no problem with it. He really wasn't a problem last year. You dont remember that scene from last year when T.O. was following McNabb around the sideline chirping in his ear, when Donovan couldnt get away from him? there was plenty of problems last year. But the magic of winning made everything better. Take away the consistent winning, and T.O. becomes a malcontent. Every time. And he throws ALL of his QBs under the bus. There is no reason the Bears should even think of giving T.O. a shot to destroy the team.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) Lyle has a great speaking voice.... and he played the game. Side note.. John & family moved into their new pad in the western burb's over the weekend.. Cangelosi or Rooney?

QUOTE(BMac41 @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 12:43 PM) He hasn't had any luck.They've been freak injuries.I want to see him play. So you want to break up any sort of continuity the Bears have been developing with Orton at QB, just to see Grossman play? Anyone can admit that Orton has not played at a high level this season, but those very same people need to realize that A) the bears havent had a 4 game winning streak since 2001, and B) You dont fix it if it aint broke. The Bears cannot jump ship on Orton for any other reason than injury this year(knock on all available wood). This would send a bad message not only to Orton, but I think to his team. Grossman would be starting from square one again, and Orton already has 2 more NFL starts and experience than Grossman right now. If Grossman wants his shot, he is going to have to take it from orton next year, IMO.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) that was Peterson's fault. He ran into Orton. I actually dont fault either player in this situation. Orton was dropping back and didnt see the blindside hit coming, peterson saw it and tried to take a tight angle to knock off the defender. It happened so quick that Peterson nailed the ball with his helmet. the fumble was really caused by the defenders presence more than it was by Peterson and Orton. Peterson was just trying to protect his QB and Orton was just dropping back.

QUOTE(BMac41 @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 11:15 AM) Um actually i do. :rolly Ok, then how is it that you can say the Bulls dont play any defense? I thought they held their own against two teams that were supposed to blow them out, and against Charlotte they completely clamped down in the end of the 3rd quarter and for the entire 4th quarter. All things said, i think this team is pretty good defensively.

QUOTE(BMac41 @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 10:46 AM) Bulls can't play defense You must not watch the games.

Those starting lineups are decent matchups, but jeeeez-US, I didnt realize how awesome the Spurs bench was. I dont think that bulls stand much of a chance, but their only chance is if they come out smokin hot and D it up for the entire game. I think Tim Thomas is going to have a big effect in the Bulls outcome tonite. I cant put my finger on it, I have no reason why, but I think he will be big.

I am of the opinion that the owners should get a matching charge to what the Pitbull did, complete with jailtime. For example: If the pitbull escapes and does damage like what happened in Cary, the owner gets 3 counts of aggravated battery. I also think these animals need to be treated as weapons in cases like this. Its time that the owners start getting penalties that are as severe as the injuries. I think someone would think twice about owning a mean pitbull should he get a felony manslaughter charge if his dog goes off the handle. It is time to stop giving these guys slaps on the wrist, like fines and telling them they are no longer legally allowed to own dogs.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Nov 6, 2005 -> 10:33 PM) Agreed. If the Bears make it into the playoffs, and with this division there's no reason to think they wont, then if Orton gets his act together & Jones is back with their defense they have a chance to make a little noise. If the Bears make any noise in the playoffs, it isnt gonna be because of Orton and Jones. its gonna be the defense all the way

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 12:34 AM) With how extremely banged up he is and the way Adrian Peterson and Benson performed..... I would be very surprised if he gets the majority of the carries next week. I think Jones is going to want the ball even more now that his supporting cast had a showing like that. When he hurt his knee against the Bengals, I thought he was gonna be out a few days, but he came right back and had a couple great games. I dont think anything pushes Jones more than someone breathing down his neck

Thomas Hayden Church really buffed up for the role.

QUOTE(Confederate_48 @ Nov 6, 2005 -> 09:07 AM) They are cloose to signing Westbrook to an extension according to Comcast. Im sure thats gonna make T.O. even happier when thats all finalized. Do you feel that T.O. is underpaid?

I think Sweetney is going to be alot better on defense as soon as his conditioning improves. Curry had the same problem in Skiles defense, when he got too tired, he started making petty slap fouls and wasnt in position half the time, so when he tried to get into position he was making fouls. Sweetney still has alot of baby fat that Skiles has to work out. I still think that Tim Thomas is going to be the steal of the deal, whenever this guy realizes his potential. Of course, the Bucks and Knicks have been saying the same things for 4 years, but hopefully Skiles can get something out of him this year considering it is his contract year. BTW, I hate Jason Kidd and Vince Carter. Damn I hate those guys. Kidd, because he is a nonstop trash talker on Skiles for no reason whatsoever, and because he values himself as a ballplayer way more than he should(even though he is damn good). Carter gets by on athleticism and unwarranted star power. No skills whatsoever, he just gets near the net, pushes people out of the way and throws it up and heads to the foul line. The Bulls played outstanding defense on him last night and he still got 28 points, on 9-27 shooting.

QUOTE(Confederate_48 @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 11:50 AM) T.O. is right though about Donovan hurting the teams record. Hes so hurt hes missing wide open receivers and Andy Reid keeps on throwing the ball. I dont watch Eagles games, but after looking at McNabbs numbers I was surprised at how much better they were than what i thought. He doesnt seem to be missing too many WRs Passes Attempted- 288 Passes Completed-170 Completion percentage- 59.0 2034 yards 7.06 yards per completion 15 touchdowns 7 interceptions 87.9 passer rating http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/133361 McNabb is actually having a pretty normal season. If you take out last year, which was fantastic for him, these numbers are right on par with McNabb. AND he is playing with a sports hernia. And to have T.O. talking about how Mcnabb is hurting the team, when T.O. just removed himself from this weeks game, and maybe next weeks game because he just doesnt feel right yet, speaks volumes on who is the team player and who is the "Me" player. T.O. is a b****

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 08:30 AM) what is it about frank thomas that you dont like? you dont want the big hiurt back? (please dont respond to this with crunched numbers) You need to learn to read posts better, and what they are responding to. The joke was (which qwerty ripped off from me, tyvm ) saying that "Frank is Healthy", because that is what the title of the thread says. Qwerty said it, and witesoxfan laughed. Thats all. Nothing about who wants Frank and why they dont want him.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 09:19 AM) Really if I'm McNabb i'm telling Philly Management either he goes, or I go. Talk about a cancer in the lockerroom. I agree. But being the Bears fan I am, and knowing that you are a Cowboys fan, isnt it fun watching the Eagles lay in the bed they made? How could they have possibly thought that anyone could make T.O. happy?

T.O. can never stop doubting his own quarterbacks. It amazes me that anyone even throws him the ball anymore, despite how good he is. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2213282 The funniest thing about what Michael Irvin said is earlier this year Irvin got into an On-Air argument with Steve Young stating that Favre was DONE and he had nothing left in him(to which Young disagreed vehemently). Now Irvin thinks that Favre could be undefeated if he was in Philly? What a joke.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2212987

So basically Frank will get bought out at what, 3.5 million? Then re-negotiate another contract, probably with the White Sox, which will probably go from 2-3 million with incentives. So Frank stands to make around 4.5-6.5 million in the next year from the Sox if he re-signs even though his contract will state otherwise? Does the buyout count against this year or next years payroll?

Is anyone besides me really curious why Will Carroll said that this was a name we would care about?

Frank is Healthy ok, I said it. Now what?

I think Ozzie is just talking, like he always does.
