What do you do when a good portion of the country has completely and willfully deluded themselves? You breathe oxygen under a blue sky and repeatedly acknowledge those two things?

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 06:58 PM) What a garbage interview. I was super uncomfortable. The guy was just lawyer speaking through the whole thing, he refused to talk about anything

whitesoxdave saying the Bulls are trying to add Niko to the deal in order to get the Nets pick back. Weird source, i know, and he is throwing a "TIFWIW" in front of it

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 09:59 AM) I guess the question is this. Does trading Jimmy for picks lead to an extended leash for Paxson? Is Gar gone regardless? If Paxson is still here no matter what, then it's either trust Paxson to make good picks, or it's waste the rest of Jimmy's time in Chicago without getting anything back in return. To me, this is similar to the Sox. The Bulls need to do something. Either that's trying to add another star through trade or FA, or it's moving Butler and starting over in what is supposed to be a loaded draft. In either event, you have to hope that the Bulls' FO doesn't screw it up. To me, Jaylen Brown, Crowder and the Nets pick in '17 might be enough to get it done. But there's no deal without Brown + the Nets pick in '17 as two of the pieces. Yea, I don't see it like the sox at all because I have zero faith that Gar could pull off anything similar to the Sale or Eaton trade. Think about some of the mind boggling stupid decisions that guy has made. He lost Asik for nothing. He traded Korver 4 years ago for nothing, the same Korver that just fetched a first rounder. He traded 2 first rounders for McDermott who it turns out isn't the guy they have been desperately trying to replace, Korver. He signed Dunleavy to a three year deal when Dunleavy wasn't even sure he was going to be able to play again(and really, he hasn't). Teague over the guy his coach wanted. f***ING HOIBERG Then you go into all of the things he may have done, like telling Butler he was going to give Snell his deal if he didn't accept an offer, the childish power struggle with Thibs for RECOGNITION. Telling the players not to listen to Thibs in his final year. I'm sure there are many many many more that I'm leaving out. Bottom line, again, is f*** that guy

i understand people wanting to trade Jimmy for picks, but I just dont want that. This front office doesnt deserve it, i dont want to see them f*** all of this up. I would rather they sit on their hands and the team crash spectacularly into the ground and miss the playoffs again, with a 1/4 filled UC with booing fans at the end of the season. I dont want Garpax "fixing" this team. I dont want them settling for a s***ty deal with Boston where they dont get that Nets pick, i dont want them making any high picks in the draft, i dont want them doing anything anymore. f*** them.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Feb 20, 2017 -> 08:17 AM) The scary thing is that his supporters have no problem with his lies. This is completely out of the norm, Trump constantly lies, it's like it's completely natural for him. I'm not sure if he is deliberately lying or if he is delusional enough to actually believe the lies he's spewing. The guy scares the s*** outta me, I believe he's so way out there that a military conflict is inevitable. They definitely want a war, Bannon has talked about it many times.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 11:53 AM) No, wrong. All the guys for philly kept getting hurt. If noel, Embiid and simmons don't get hurt they're already challenging cleveland for the east title. and that's with making a terrible okafor over unicorn pick. the sixers have the right philosophy. just gotta get it right. but that said, i don't trust the bulls to get it right even if they went that route so 7th seeds it is. Dude, Embiid and Noel CAME OUT OF THE DRAFT INJURED. You cant say "if they didnt get injured" when they already were. I cant argue with a bunch of ifs and maybes that you are throwing at me. All i know is any sort of rebuilding decision should come from whoever replaces Gar and Pax, or at the very least Gar.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 11:39 AM) LeBron, Durant, Leonard. Those are automatic. Then you've got Greek Freak and Paul George, Nobody outside of the biggest Bulls homer would take Butler over greek freak. only Butler/george is an argument. So what are you saying? Keep Butler and be content with 7th seeds? LeBron won't be around forever. Come on man, you are famous here for declaring championships already taken, nobody else has a chance. Now you are all about planning for a future without lebron and lets trade Jimmy and *hope* that the return equals and -maybe- exceeds what Butler is? There is zero guarantee that this draft pans out like people think it will. Teams that go down that road dont always end up coming back up quickly, and in many cases end up like Philly for the last 5 years, multiple top 5 picks. Nothing. And at the same time people who want Jimmy traded are asking the same guys that built this THING that we are watching to turn around and build it back up to a respectable level. Everything about trading Butler is sketchy to me

Even if he is the 6th best, how many of the players above him do you feel have legitimate shots at winning the championship? Does Westbrook make it out of the first round? Hardens rockets havent really done much in the playoffs. Are they all trade bait because people like Lebron and Curry stand in their way?

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 11:07 AM) I don't know. The top headline on Fox News right now is "WHODUNIT? Trump launches bid to find leakers, as speculation surrounds Obama officials" Slightly below that is: "SEAN HANNITY: Trump takes on press, delivers huge knockout" They certainly aren't going in guns blazing, but even a small amount of dissent is surprising

So, Fox News is kind of going after Trump now, starting with Shepherd Smith yesterday and now they are posting polls showing people don't approve of Trump

Is Greg ghostwriting for Trump?

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 12:57 PM) I've got a 4.5 year old and an 8 month old. It's amazing how much you "forget" about the infant stage after so many years. I would say that the first year is rough, mostly because of the sleep routine. The hardest part is the first few months. You've basically got this thing that does nothing but eat, sleep, poop, pee and cry. You feel very little love back. Your wife will get this the worst, especially if she's breastfeeding and is forced to be the one doing a lot of the over night feedings and general care. But after those few months you start to get smiles. They start to coo at you. They start to say "da da" or smile when you enter a room or reach out for you and your heart melts. From there you'll encounter various firsts (first solid food, first handheld food, first crawl, first walk, etc) and the next thing you know 4 years have passed and they're a real little person with a unique personality. It's cliche, but they grow up FAST, so enjoy it. As a first time parent you'll be overprotective and anxious/stressed about every little thing. By kid 2 you care less about those things because you've seen how strong/resilient those little guys can be. My wife and I were one of the firsts of our group to have kids. I've repeated the same thing to each new subsequent parent: at 6 months start sleep training, i.e., the cry it out method. Every parent we know who just dealt with their kid overnight ended up spending 1-2 years without good sleep. You almost do a disservice by not allowing the baby to learn how to calm him/herself down and get back to bed. You become a major crutch and they will lean on it for a long, long time. I've seen it with some of my nieces/nephews and now some of my friends. We allowed both of our kids to cry it out starting around 6 months and it was maybe 2 nights of doing it and then they slept through the night without a problem. I have a 16 year old, 6 year old, and 3 year old. That ten year gap dumped a ton of infant basics right out of the back of my head.
