QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 04:23 PM) I agree with Spiegs, that "Can't do it" segment that Parkins brought in is reeeeeaally going to cause problems and Spiegs clearly hates playing it. I don't think I have a problem with Parkins, but I sense some animosity between him and Spiegs and it's uncomfortable to listen to. What is the gist of the segment? I haven't heard it yet

President Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 04:10 PM) I've got friends living in Lux and they go to France, Germany, Belgium, etc all the time. They don't really worry about it that much, they were supposed to go to Paris right after the Paris attacks and cancelled that trip obviously but for the most part they and most of the people they are around aren't afraid of travelling around. My college roommate was going to see the Deftones at the Bataclan on the Sunday after that attack. If they had waited two days she could be dead. That is just surreal to me

QUOTE (shipps @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 03:52 PM) And why the hell is George Offman referring to the Rangers as "farm rich" LOL. You know Hahn told him to say those exact words and George doesnt know enough about systems to think its not true. KW. I don't think Hahn would run with those words

Rangers have increased pursuit of Q?
QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 03:36 PM) This came from Offman first. It seems pretty clear the Sox leaked this locally, then nationally. Then Rangers media members placed calls to their sources with the Rangers, and it got shot down. It does show that clearly moving Q is still priority #1 right now. Nightengale ran with it too, and we all know what that means

Parkins really doesn't play off Spiegel well, and that is a shame. When they were talking about music and Parkins was completely lost, I thought this does not bode well

President Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 01:19 PM) Not taking sides but didn't Trump run on these issues? Why is everybody so surprised there's a wall coming and a ban on immigrants? I thought he ran on these issues. And he won the election. So why the outrage now? America elected the guy on these issues. Maybe because we didn't want it then, and we don't want it now. Get back to complaining about emails

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 31, 2017 -> 12:44 PM) You also assumed that Rose was going to come back. Bad assumption, I know. Yea, there was zero clarity on his returns. Easy to say that we should have allowed the tank in retrospect, but during those seasons it was a carrot at the end of a long stick

2016-2017 NBA Thread
QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jan 31, 2017 -> 11:37 AM) Bulls had a chance to do this twice when Rose went down and they knew he'd be out for the year. They could have done a soft tank and gotten into the lottery. Instead Thibs grinded out meaningless 1st and 2nd round exits. Eh, they still had a decent team when Rose went down. Noah was coming into his own, Taj was Taj, Korver did his job, the bench mob was still there. Outside of trading most of the starting lineup, I don't think you can blame lack of tanking on Thibs. Plus, it was the East

Technology catch-all thread
QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jan 31, 2017 -> 09:59 AM) They offer a complimentary one year warranty on top of the manufacturer's warranty. I assume that's what he is referring to. I guess, but littlehurt said in his post that he bought the protection plan and the purchase was 15 months ago The complimentary 1 year warranty runs after the purchased warranty runs out? Or concurrently?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 31, 2017 -> 09:42 AM) I actually must take back my refusal to deal Jimmy. Superstars normally don't net a proper return, but a deal with Boston could do just that. If we can get their two picks from the Nets and some combination of these guys -Jae Crowder, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Ante Zizic, well, that's one you roll with as you may be able to hit paydirt with either of those picks. Hell, this coming draft could wind up being the 1 overall. That gives the Celtics IT2, Al Horford, Jimmy, Bradley to roll deep into the East with. Ok, trade Jimmy to the Celtics! Pretty sure Celtics can't trade their pick because that would be three straight seasons of trading their 1st round pick

That sounds like a Gar tactic 100 percent. I have read and heard a few stories of his college coaching years, and ethics are not really something he is fond of

President Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (New Era on South Side @ Jan 31, 2017 -> 07:56 AM) He said he was going to be a president for all Americans - I haven't seen how he's been one for me or people that I know yet. My question was reasonable - right now, they don't fit into his universe. Here's the Goff and Bernstein clip I talked about. Start listening at the 1:55 mark, where they get to talking about Steve Kerr's comments and an escalated caller comes in. What's important is that we can have discussions of civility, respect and tolerance - something I haven't seen done in every day life recently. I heard that call live, that guy was all over the place and Goff was right, he was expecting a shouting match and ended up getting nothing of the sort and it messed him up

2016-2017 NBA Thread
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 30, 2017 -> 03:06 PM) Yep. It is also worth nothing that the Bulls, under Paxson long term tenure as the president / GM have been widely regarded as the best, if not the second best drafting team in the NBA. That is under various measures, including an analytical measure which kind of takes win shares per say assumed by where you pick a player, so when you get Rose and he goes MVP, it isn't really that much of a plus because, hey, that is expected. Jimmy Butler, Taj, Niko, etc really help in those scenarios (and when you envision Niko as being drafted where he was, I'd say he was a success...obviously not what we expected and the Bulls could have traded him early in his career for some serious talent or an early lotto pick, but didn't. When people blast Teague, it is kind of hard to ignore he sucked, but we aren't talking about blowing the 3rd overall pick or something like that. The recent consistency of misses is concerning though and by a lot of accounts, it is during the tenure of big misses where Pax had supposedly taken more of a back seat role at the directive of ownership to give Gar more responsibility (and obviously Lloyd left as well, which was a big loss). But it is magnified by the fact that Gar drafted him despite Thibs telling him that Teague wasn't good and that he wanted Draymond Green. That makes the pick that much worse

2017 Music thread
QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 30, 2017 -> 02:33 PM) I did not know that , thanks for sharing that tidbit. Wonder what the reasoning is behind it. Doesn't matter to me really since I don't have any Apple products ( not a fan of iTunes) and already have Tool's discography in my collection but it does make me wonder. I do remember some folks complaining a few years back about iTunes and others selling low quality music due to too much dynamic compression that lowers the bit depth of the music tremendously. This is done to fit more music on the server and allow for a larger music catalog for fans, but at the expense of the music's sound quality. So I wonder if that has anything to do with Tool and Prince staying off of iTunes. http://www.spin.com/2013/06/spotify-pink-f...o-to-streaming/ Seems like it is more of a "we don't want our art thrown into the streaming format"
