QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 2, 2018 -> 11:50 AM) Yeah, it scares me that there was no "lesson learned" there. But I am much higher on this version of Belicheck assistants, who have had much more time under Belicheck and how that team is arranged. I'd be pro-Patricia. I like his all around the field background and think it lends itself well to HC position. But obviously he'd need a guru. I would love to know how McDaniels is viewed in coaching circles as far as having connections. If he's well liked and well connected or what More than Weis and Crennel? I dunno man, Belichecks coaching tree hasnt really done much without him. Its hard for me to get behind anyone that has coached under him

I dont see how McDaniels can ask for control of the 53 man roster after the dumpster fire he left in his wake in Denver. I would give him input, but there would be no way in hell i would cede control.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jan 2, 2018 -> 09:41 AM) Except Married With Children. There have been rumors about it for years but I'm convinced that it will never happen. I actually enjoyed Rosanne in it's prime and I'm looking forward to the new season. They always reminded me of my own family. Middle-class, small town in Illinois with 3 kids. Except we have 3 girls instead of 2 girls and a boy. I'm just afraid the new episodes just won't have the same feel as the old show even with the same cast. Everyone keeps talking about bringing back John Goodman as Dan. I'm trying to figure out if they will address the 4th kid they had in season 8. They named him Jerry Garcia Conner. There are a few quirks about that show that they are gonna play around with. The final season “dream”, Dans death, both Becky’s, Jerry Garcia Connor. I bet it is a fun short season

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 2, 2018 -> 08:52 AM) Big new political science study on "Fake News" is out ‘Fake News’: Wide Reach but Little Impact, Study Suggests Key findings: -heavily concentrated among w/most conservative info diets -Facebook key vector of exposure -fact-checks did not reach those exposed this is a pretty interesting finding that supports other previous research on how effective fact-checking efforts are and persuasion efforts focused on presenting factual rebuttals in general are: I'm not sure if this research dug into it, but previous studies have found that when you present someone who strongly believes in something with contradicting evidence, it's more likely that their (incorrect) belief will be strengthened, not lessened. We call this “greg-d”

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 1, 2018 -> 04:32 PM) Wow, that is pretty ridiculous. When was his contract up anyways? Pace’s contract was up next year along with Fox’s. Now his contract will match with his next coach

Whether Pace deserved to go with Fox is debatable depending on whether you believe the decision to hire Fox was out of Pace’s hands. Regardless, there is no more excuses for Pace after this season, it’s all on him.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jan 1, 2018 -> 10:35 AM) I don't think so. Maybe their agents will have to work a little harder or longer, but they will always outsmart the GMs/owners. Gonna keep repeating that, huh

Happy New Years!

this game is not pleasant in any way

Sounds like a Bloody Sunday and Black monday are shortly in order. Gonna be a lot of openings, I hope Pace has his guy

QUOTE (BurlyMan56 @ Dec 30, 2017 -> 08:10 AM) The Luis Robert Instagram feed is now unwatchable. I had to unfollow. Never seen a man take as many selfies and videos of himself doing absolutely nothing but admiring himself in a mirror. Total narcassist. Well, he is 20, and now has a lot more money than he ever had. Seems par for the course

There is no collusion(16 times) Even if there was collusion, it isnt a crime Things that innocent people definitely say over and over in between mumble mouth bulls*** deluded explanations of policy and international relations

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Dec 28, 2017 -> 01:01 PM) That woman is truly blessed that the situation ended it where it did and that she wasn't raped. Not too many women can say that. It's still a gross shame that she had to endure that. Like Jeff Passan said, I hope MLB takes this seriously but I am very curious to see how they handle this because as she said in the post, she wasn't raped. If Chapman can get 30 games for being involved in a DV case then Sano is looking at something more severe than that. On another note, why wasn't Addison Russell ever suspended? Probably because the information provided was third hand and his wife never filed a police report nor would she speak to MLB investigators

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 28, 2017 -> 11:31 AM) Can we all agree that despite it being a religious holiday, that Christmas really isn't a religious holiday? I know plenty of Atheist/religion bashers/non-religious people that love Christmas and go all out celebrating. its a corporate holiday. Merry give me all of your money for 3 months-day.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 27, 2017 -> 06:12 PM) Through personal observation. Year after year I never heard "Merry Christmas" uttered anywhere except on Xmas Day at church. Or I never heard in weeks/days leading up to Christmas, the words "Have a merry christmas." There was literally no mention of Christmas. None. Now this is personal observation. Contrary to what is stated on here, when I heard "Happy Holidays" or "Have a happy holiday" I never got mad or thought, "Dammit, say merry christmas!" I did however make a mental note of this and went on my merry way, no pun intended. Suddenly this year, I happened to catch some of the controversy about Trump going nuts ,even saw the clip of him saying "Merry Christmas" is back. I may have read a thread on here ripping Trump for it or something as well. I didn't think much about it, then I start hearing "Merry CHristmas" or "Have a merry christmas" at some restaurants, coffee shops, SW Airlines on a few different flights. I can guarantee you I never heard it on SWA before. I thought to myself, "Damn, Trump must have had an effect on this." I actually in my mind credited Trump for something. I didn't go run around screaming, "Glory be! Christmas is back!" It wasn't that big a deal as some on here make it out to be for me. It was something I did notice and approve of. It did not affect me saying "Merry CHristmas" to anybody as I've been trained in PC well enough to not go there. I finally returned the Merry CHristmas the other day and it felt very very weird coming out of my mouth. To me, these all were holiday observations, not a huge deal. I didn't scream to the heavens, CHRISTMAS IS BACK, THANK U MR TRUMP" I just noticed it which has really really bothered some on here. To me it was a sequitir not a non sequitir in that because I NOTICED A CHANGE and Trump had spoken out, I deduced perhaps Trump had something to do with it. IT has been pointed out to me Obama also said it. That is good. I like that. But I do not recall Obama going on a tirade saying we all should say Merry Christmas, hence I have not credited Obama enuf for some people on here. In conclusion ... thank you for your question. I want to know what about my response(s) make me the scumbag I'm being portrayed to be. I think it stems from nobody believes me and also because i listen to Rush and Hannity on occasion in the car for brief periods of time I am considered to be their disciples/clones. Continue to flame me, I'm used to it. Greg, Trump could take credit for the sun rising and you would thank him for green grass. There never was a war on Christmas, people never stopped saying merry Christmas.

QUOTE (william_the_8 @ Dec 26, 2017 -> 07:17 AM) Thanks for sharing this. I was struck with the way the real Kemper speaks. Like he's delivering a lecture. Very emotional intonations, words. Amazingly weird. He could have been a perfect actor (in a way he really was) He was hyper aware of people and how they act when he was stalking them. He really was a great actor(as is the guy who played him)

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 22, 2017 -> 02:13 PM) Anyone who says the Bulls front office can't draft is ignorant of every stat out there/article published evaluating drafts. Have they missed, sure, but they have consistently outperformed league peers when it comes to drafting. Lots of historical analysis has been included in past articles highlighting the strength of the Bulls drafting. People can throw out the occasional misses, but in general, they have drafted extremely well. People are just ignorant to how often most teams miss on draft picks. This front office has problems...drafting has been something they have proven (over the long haul) to be very good at. People can rip on Gar/John all the want (and many things they deserve to be ripped for)...but drafting just isn't one of those things. Look, Im not gonna argue with this fantasy of yours, but their drafting has been pretty much trash since Butler. So many absolutely wasted picks and trades.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 22, 2017 -> 02:03 PM) Yep - Thats right. So many teams/franchises have become great from tanking. The great Sixers team still has injury issues and failed miserably for years (and for as "great" as they are...they are still going to need to land some key free agents to make them great...all that talent and they aren't even putting up that great of a record). I suppose you could just plan on sucking for 20 years until you got really really lucky and finally found a couple transcending players. I vehemently disagree with the notion of tanking. Winning championships is not easy in the NBA. Period. Winning them because you tanked hasn't proven some definitively better plan then trying to always build as good of a team as possible (but with a forward looking vision). You can very quickly turn your franchise into a heaping pile of s***. I actually have a brain though and can use my brain to have an opinion different from what is "trendy" in today's league. I don't want to win because of guys who have no future driving wins, but if we win because Kris Dunn and Lauri and other people who can be part of the core keep winning...fine, I have faith in the Bulls front office at maximizing the value of its draft picks. Now I don't hae faith in them executing the free agent route and landing the star but for either path to succeed, we are going to need to win in free agency. wat

http://m.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Iss...s/Marlins1.aspx? He knew QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 21, 2017 -> 09:55 PM) I'm sure the debt was discussed. But did it necessarily include "we are trading Stanton" "we are trading Ozuna" Or was it more "we are going to follow the White Sox/Houston/Cubs model and trade assets for a rebuild. I don't see how they are doing anything different than other teams like the White sox. Their commodities are different due to the contracts and the fans aren't tolerating it like the sox fans. This is not the white sox/Cubs/Houston model of rebuilding. They aren’t acquiring can’t miss prospects, I don’t even think they have gotten a top 50 prospect yet and have traded two of the best players available this offseason

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 21, 2017 -> 02:07 PM) Why would Manfred know about the daily operations of one of the owners? It’s not daily operations. It’s the purchase of the team, I’m sure Jeter and associates had to lay out a plan to MLB explaining exactly what they were going to be doing after the purchase to start paying off the debt they just acquired. When you buy a house or a business the banks go through everything and ask how you will pay for things and where the money is coming from. If it was any other team tearing down and rebuilding, yea it would be daily operations. But the ink wasn’t even dry yet and Jeter starts selling off guys for pennies on the dollar and getting players back that certainly aren’t worth anywhere close to the players they were traded for. I’m sure Manfred knew they were gonna tear it down

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Dec 20, 2017 -> 10:23 PM) LaBatard is another self important, agitator. Nothing to see here. There was plenty to see there, for once I applaud LeBatard for going after Manfred. He was absolutely correct, there was no way that Manfred wasn’t aware that Jeter was going to slash payroll after acquiring the team, and Manfred kept lying about it
