It's frustrating to see what looks like a news excerpt, but could be something pulled off of a fantasy site (as has happened here before) or just about anywhere else. Please cite your sources, folks. Thanks. Wow, a pet peave of mine is laying down ground rules on a messageboard in which you have only 194 posts.

Omar Minaya is just going to keep spending until he gets it right, apparently. I think him and Isiah Thomas go to the same GM school.

ssia?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 08:32 AM) How exactly is it irresponsible to not give Las Vegas a team? I think the whole gambling element lends a bit of irresponsibility itself. Vegas doesnt need a team, too much liability.

The Marlins or any Florida team for that matter need a stadium that will meet their needs weather wise. Tampa has it(i guess), Florida needs it. I always thought that if given a better stadium situation the Marlins would draw better, but it looks like the owners will never approach that situation.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 06:13 AM) I'm shocked that the resident defender hasn't swooped in here to scold you that these are "just allegations" at this point.. :headshake I thought the same thing

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 08:06 PM) Have any of you heard any of that Stapp thing??? It sounds even more like Creed than Alter Bridge. I mean, it is basically EXACTLY like everything Creed did that was a hit. In other words, it sucks. Ha, thats funny. A band and its lead singer go their seperate ways so that they can sound exactly alike, and exactly like when they played together. I really disliked Creed.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 07:40 PM) I mean really, wtf? It's wrestling. Like we wouldn't want someone to have an unfair advantage. I dont think it is fair advantage as much as it is a liability for Vince's lawyers. You know the wrestlers dont really care, because they just want to look good. But someone at some point is going to sue Vince for turning a blind eye towards steroid use when someone ended up dead. Its just a matter of time, if it hasnt happened already. Now Vince can say he tested them for it, and spoke to them about it. Not that he will put a stop to it.....

Gammons is steering the trade to the Red Sox. Beckett and Lowell to the Red Sox for a mix of players headed by Jon Papelbon. edit: not Papelbon, he could be included, but most likely Anibel Sanchez and Hanley Ramirez and the ever famous PTBNL

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 07:15 PM) meh, sounds like bs to me. Testing doesnt mean anything. There are no punishments or anything that have been mentioned. However, getting testing is a pretty big step for the WWE, I would have to say. I imagine Vince will start getting some more lawsuits thrown his way if his wrestlers or former wrestlers keep dropping dead.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 05:44 PM) Red Sox and "mystery" team take over lead: http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/ESPNSports/story?id=1334519 LOL, what does your Marlins intern buddy have to say about this? Doesnt sound like your typical Miami Post retraction now, does it?

That kid better have been pledging a fraternity.

I know plenty of hunters in the Chicago area. Plenty of people in this area hunt, I dont understand why you think its a fact that Chicagoans arent outdoorsman, SF1?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) Especially with that beard. :headshake I was thinking more along the lines of his conversive grammar (or lack thereof). But the beard can go too.

I dont know how many people watched the Bears postgame yesterday on Comcast, or if anyone is watching the replay right now, but Richard Dent is awful behind the microphone. Just dreadful

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 02:54 PM) For shame, quoting me without also including the clarification of my comment. LOL, I thought about putting the clarification in there, but it would ruin the message in my post. Besides, I knew as soon as I hit submit that you would clarify it yourself.

This "End of Hutchison" thread is GREAT! QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 11:40 AM) The Bears are not in a situation where they HAVE to play the rookie QB...so why do it? To finish with 4 wins on the year? No thanks. QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) If Orton is our QB of the future, we may be in trouble. Also lost in the hat-eating promise was this gem. QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 11:46 AM) It won't happen. I'm also just as sure this Bears team--complete with the #1 defense in the National Football League :banghead :banghead :headshake --cannot win. This quote wasnt bad, just incredibly ironic after yesterdays game. QUOTE(Wedge @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 12:19 PM) Primarily, we need our quarterback to be able to get the ball to Muhammad. Freaking Jake Delhomme looked like a real NFL QB for two seasons because he was able to do that. Hutch can't do that. Maybe Blake can, but I'm confident that Orton can at least do that. It's low expectations, really. We have to start with Orton. QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 02:30 PM) There's about a 1% chance Orton does anything of substance this year. QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:06 PM) Sorry but I think anything more than 6-7 wins is probably out of the question. You at least need some resemblance of offense to be successful to keep that defense off the field and fresh. Orton's probably going to struggle. How many rookie QB's besides Ben Roest... have come in and succeeded straight away? David Carr didn't. Joey Harrington didn't. It doesn't help that the Bears OL isn't in the top half of the league in protection as well.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 01:15 PM) I'm still waiting for a hat to be consumed. Who was the lucky poster who offered to eat their hat?

LOL, Martyrdom is based upon the media portrayal of your death in your society.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 03:17 AM) Bumping up old threads are we now. Who knew Jamal Lewis's feet would turn into cement. I dunno, maybe the federal prison in Georgia? All things being said, the Bears made a statement yesterday. And the most important part of that statement IMO was lost in about 5 dropped balls between Clark and Muhammed. Orton was on yesterday, and he should have been well over 200 yards with at least 2 touchdowns. I really dont want to hear Moose complain about not getting the ball enough anymore, he ended up with just under 70 yards but should have had about 120. If this Bears offense can continue growing like this, the Bears may be really scary come playoff time. That #1 defense is unreal though. You just cant move the ball on them, no matter what the field position is.

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Nov 19, 2005 -> 01:25 PM) Could you list, like, two or three? I dont know of any, I dont know the religion. I am just being PC in case there happened to be someone on this site who was a practicing Scientologist.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 19, 2005 -> 05:41 PM) Here's the thing, if they went through with this in the last two years they would have lost Pavano, Burnett and Beckett. I wouldn't consider either of those 3 aces and they all seem to have injury problems, however when they were in there they were productive. All the sudden they go from having a very solid rotation to having Dontrelle and a bunch of youngins in there. The Marlins are pretty much screwed this season if they go through with that deal...now if they're just trying to rebuild then that's a whole different story. How long are the Marlins going to rely on potential with these pitchers though? Before the 2003 World Series, the Marlins rotation wasnt Dontrelle and a bunch of youngins, it was just a bunch of youngins. They waited for Burnett to get over the hump and pitch the way he could, and he could never do it with any sort of consistency. Beckett was a world beater in 03, but now 2 years later his career is still spotty and inconsistent. Brad Penny had arm problems and was shipped out for a quality catcher. I think that the Marlins just got to the point with the rotation where they had to cut bait(pun intended), and start over.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 19, 2005 -> 11:47 AM) Potbelly is king. Subway is the best deal, especially the daily specials and they have the best bread and toppings options. Jimmy John's is ok, but they only have 1 type of bread and it's plain, dry and boring.Quizno's is horrible and over priced and the soup is basically hot, colored water. Their thick-cut wheat bread is really good, you should try it.

QUOTE(CrimsonWeltall @ Nov 19, 2005 -> 02:14 AM) why is it that scientologists are the only group that can be made fun of nowadays such blatant hypocrasy I think that all practicing Scientologists can thank Tom Cruise for their newly found scorn. John Travolta managed to be a practicing Scientologist for the past 10 or more years without drawing this kind of negative attention and publicity. Tom Cruise seems to be a crusader for the religion, pushing it into the public eye and dismissing other practices. Im sure there are many good tenets about Scientology, but this whole TomKat thing going on makes it look like he is turning her into a little concubine who has no choice but to follow his religion while carrying his seed(spawn if you will). In short, Cruise is playing out the worst parts of the religion for all to see, making Scientology an easy target.
