UNC Academic Scandal
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 12:00 PM) Duke is an elite academic school though, outside of sports, so it seems less likely from them. I'm sure athletes there get special treatment, but I would be surprised if they had this deep a problem. Im pretty sure that Duke has a similar made up class and Major that all of the athletes enroll in. Coach K has been questioned about it a few times IIRC

Your 2015 Offseason Plan
5 years ago i would have jumped at the chance for either Upton. Now, i dont think i would want to have BJ or Juston on the Sox. Heyward would fulfill the Lillian Quota though

UNC Academic Scandal
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 11:53 AM) I love that they pointed out no connection to coaches. Come on, this was a #1 recruiting tool to bring in most of those players. We have classes where you dont have to do anything, I'll always keep you eligible. LOVE self-investigation Yea, they are letting the director of African American studies twist in the wind for all of it. As if she just went ahead and created this situation with no prompting from anyone.

(Insert Celeb Here) is Dead
QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 09:42 AM) In a way, I kind of feel bad for her. Not for having to endure all the public scrutiny of her appearance (that's invited and goes with the territory), but how messed up inside does she and the Bruce Jenners, Kenny Rogers, Michael Jacksons, etc., have to be do that to themselves? She seemed to really get messed up when she did the Bridget Jones Diary movies, i remember she had to gain weight and lose it for the role, and she got a lot of scrutiny from it. And really, she kind of fell off the map(in the public eye) after those movies. She made movies through 2009, and nothing until her recent movie where she showed off her new look

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 08:22 AM) Hey Kyle, so I don't have to dig through wikipedia, do you mind giving a real quick synopsis of what/who Ultron is? I would say I have a decent knowledge of the Marvel universe but I don't think really anything about Ultron. I'm guessing the one MCU movie I have not seen (IM3) shed some light on it though One of Tony Starks creations that gains sentience( in the movie). In the comics, Hank Pym(ant man) created him

And with Guardians of the Galaxy entering the picture, it works. because someone has to find him QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 07:28 AM) https://www.yahoo.com/movies/keanu-reeves-i...0673401392.html Keanu Reeves is super bummed Hollywood studios have abandoned him Rights to John Carter sequels expire http://furiousfanboys.com/2014/10/disneys-...lans-new-films/ How about make better movies, Keanu? John Carter right now is about as toxic as Batman was after Batman and Robin came out. You have to wonder who could pull off that set of books, if the Mouse house couldnt pull it off with all that money behind it.

The first phase of movies was more popcorn and fun entertainment, the second phase changed the game for me, especially Cap 2. To each their own, but if you are looking at it as a bunch of comic movies, you are missing the big picture

What is Shields Worth Now?
QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 22, 2014 -> 02:07 PM) They are tearing apart Shields on talk radio today in KC. I am right now hearing a media host say, "He has been terrible this postseason. He cannot pitch Game Five." And he's going to get megabucks this offseason? I wish normal life worked that way. His resume is looking questionable rightnow and it will not matter a bit? Wow. No, his postseason resume looks questionable right now. His overall resume looks really good, and you dont seem to want to admit that

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 21, 2014 -> 07:20 PM) Time to revoke the Big Game James nickname. Maybe it is "Pitching in"Big Game James as opposed to "having a"Big Game James. Because he does pitch in a lot of big games.

Levine - Left Handed Bat Priority

Levine - Left Handed Bat Priority
QUOTE (LDF @ Oct 21, 2014 -> 02:22 PM) now i got you thinking, take the rose example out of this discussion. we are discussing cheating. whether it is scuffing the ball and going to all length to hide it and some one on PED and going to all length of hiding it. it is still cheating. No, you got me disagreeing that they are similar situations, because they are not. Betting on baseball isnt necessarily cheating, but it could be. Regardless, it is a banishment level offense, and everyone in the game knows this. If you are gambling, then you could be throwing games in order to win money, this is something that is controllable by the gambler, ESPECIALLY someone like Rose who was managing the game. Taking a steroid or scuffing a ball to win a game is increasing your chances, but you arent in total control of the outcome, a hitter can still get you, a pitcher can still strike you out. And banning someone for scuffing a ball is just silly.
