We used to have camel crickets in Carbondale. they are hideous, terrifying, and harmless, but they never go away

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 09:20 AM) I lived on Washington St in Des Plaines for a few years. Went to North School for 2nd, 3rd, and part of 4th. I dont know where my dad went to Grade school (pretty sure it was a catholic school, he talked about Nuns giving him the business when he was bad, just dont know where). He was a Maine West grad though

Vick also had some game left in him, and a lot of people doubt that Rice can still be the explosive back that he used to be.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 07:08 AM) Paradise Pup on River Road in Des Plaines. That place is the best My dad talks about that place, he grew up in Des Plaines and always goes and hangs out with buddies there

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 08:49 AM) I guess Shaq was a little off when he said Gasol was done. Shaq is weirdly bitter about certain players. I still am not really a fan of him on TNT, i think they tried to recreate Barkley and it just isnt the same

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 12:48 AM) I'm sure Medlen would like a 1-year deal to regain his contractual value. Let's sign him for 1 year, then flip him midseason for prospects. will he be ready in time to establish value? I thought i read both him and Beachy are looking at mid season returns from TJS

Well, Kirk didn't see the court after that foul, I'm pretty sure

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 09:48 PM) I love Kopp's, unfortunately there are only 3 and they're all in the Milwaukee area. Double cheese burger with the works. Only downside is it's a minor miracle if you don't need a triple bypass after finishing it, and you need to leave room for custard. We stopped there and the way to a concert in May, I was impressed

Rooooooooose!

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 06:23 PM) First, I don't know how Dickerson for brought up. Why would Colorado trade a 25 year old that will be cheap for the next 4 years? It would take minimum 2 top prospects to get him. And as for Cargo....the only thing I can judge him on is the 1,833 PA's he's had away from Coors. And those 1,833 PA's say that he's pretty much been a bum. Maybe he'd be better, maybe he wouldn't. Neither of us actually know. But one thing I can assure you of is that it would be really really stupid to spend $53M + prospects to find out. But like I asked earlier, why is Bruce a better option? Because he is a little bit cheaper? His splits show from year to year he will choose to be a bum either home or away, and be merely ok on the the opposite. I just don't see why you think Bruce is such a better option, unless you think the difference in pay is that big of a deal.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 04:15 PM) I'm not sure I care about the running the ball angle. The run blocking is terrible. We knew going in that this offense viewed short passes and dumpoffs to the RB as rushes. You have to at least pretend to try and run it. More than 7 times at least

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 03:55 PM) With a quick sort, it looks like Johnny Damon holds the record at 2122 replies. Wow I would think Eric Chavez and Miggy Cabrera would have far eclipsed Damon

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 02:41 PM) I'm not convinced of that. He's coached good defenses, but pretty crappy teams. Granted, the NYJ are a clusterf*** management-wise, but I don' think he's done much to distinguish himself as a head coach. He did get to a conference title game multiple times.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 02:04 PM) I wouldn't, when you figure in that Bruce could make $37.5M over the next 3 years (if his last option is picked up), while Cargo will cost you $53M over those same 3 years. Bruce has only played less than 148 games once since 2009. CarGo has never reached that mark. The money issue is a very fair criticism, I just dont like that Jay Bruce's one year that he missed a lot of games was last season, and it was because of his knee. Cargo is a guy you would just hope you could finally catch lightning in a bottle and that Herm Schneider could keep him on the field

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 01:48 PM) Hell no to Cargo...and anybody on the Rockies really. I don't see any good fits for us unless it involves us getting Tulo...which isn't happening. Reds make a lot more sense to me though. Bruce and Leake for.....? I have no idea but those 2 certainly make a lot of sense for both sides. Leake is a FA, but could possibly be resigned for a reasonable price Hell no to Cargo, but hell yea to Bruce? I would much rather gamble on Cargos health then go with Bruces "meh"

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 12:29 PM) I bought the walmart 50 inch tv. Haven't received it yet. Obviously it'll be off brand, but I'll certainly take it at that price. I got it last year, my off brand is Cielo. The TV is nice, works well. Directv doesnt recognize the brand, though, so I cannot program my remote

i honestly dont think Rex Ryan goes back to DC. His name and history is probably going to get him another HC job(a la Lovie)

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 11:56 AM) I've been worrying about this ever since I first saw the news about the possibility of Dish losing CSN. It is my only option to watch the Sox, Bulls and Blackhawks (aside from the few games shown on WGN, ESPN, etc.). I live in a town of 1000 people and we do not have access to the big cable providers and due to sight lines I am unable to get Directv. Hopefully they come up with a long term contract otherwise I'm screwed. When is the last time you asked Directv to see if it was available? I thought they launched a few more satellites so they could provide more coverage

Those banners make me want to get rid of NBC/Comcast.
