How good would they have been?
QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 02:05 PM) George Bell hit 47 in '87 and won the MVP. Also, Andre Dawson hit 49 and Dale Murphy 44. 1987 was kind of a crazy, outlier year offensively. I looked the top 10's from that year back and 5 years prior the league leader had 31 (i think it was Schmidt). Then a few 40s, Bells big year, then McGwire and Dawson happened. McGwires ridiculous rookie year numbers and bash brother teammate screamed juicer

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 10:06 AM) I come back to guys like McGwire, Palmeiro. These guys juiced quite heavily at young ages in the early 1990's or late 1980's and you couldn't tell. Palmeiro didn't really explode at all because his drug of choice was Winstrol, and McGwire didn't really start to inflate until the 1990's. His numbers when he was 31 don't look all that outrageous compared to his rookie year. Rafael Palmeiro pointed at Congress and denied juicing and a lot of people believed him because his body type didn't look like Bonds until he was caught for abusing a steroid that was supposed to do exactly that - help you build up but only to a certain extent. McGwire hit 49 homeruns in his rookie season, and nobody was getting close to the 50 homerun mark back then. He may not have had the body look, but his numbers certainly looked like it.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 12:14 PM) Yeah, I was really looking forward to that but it turned into a stinker. The Pats were running 3 wide sets with Collie, Edelman, and Amendola. That is absolutely terrible. Those guys are basically all the same player too. Welker-lite

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 12:13 PM) I was legitimately rolling around laughing hysterically during this scene. Another great Shameless episode, minus that creepy stuff with Debbie. "Oh, you're only 13? I'm only 20, no big deal." The Debbie stuff really doesnt bother me. Each character gets a creepy storyline, Ian with Kash, Frank with fetish Sheila, Lip with Mandy, Fiona with Amy Smart, V with her mom and Kev, Carl....well all the time. Just Debbie's turn

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 11:54 AM) As far as I'm aware, cannibalism is still illegal in New Jersey. If you make a large enough donation to Christie's campaign, he will look the other way QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 20, 2014 -> 11:57 AM) Will never happen because it's the smallest stadium by seating capacity in the league and doesn't meet minimum seating requirements for a Super Bowl. and everyone, including Chicagoans, know that it is f***ING COLD IN CHICAGO IN FEBRUARY. However, in NY, they are like "NBD. ITS NEW YORK"

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 18, 2014 -> 12:14 AM) I think my mom (or dad?) said they saw something that said "Chicago Polytechnic" on it when Lip was working in the cafeteria. EDIT: Yeah, I just checked the episode. The centerpieces on the cafeteria tables as well as a sign in the cafeteria says "Chicago Polytechnic" on it. I dunno, his interview in season 3 was with an MIT rep and his character wiki says he enrolled at MIT http://shameless.wikia.com/wiki/Phillip_Gallagher_(US) Seems kind of silly that he would never be around the family if he is going to a Chicago based school

That is a good counter, Rock. Although Paulstar also made a point that football is controlled aggression, and the Lions were anything but controlled. While Sherman's reaction was priceless(and awesome IMO), the decision to go to him minutes after the game ending INT was questionable at best. It isn't like Sherman has a history of saying inflammatory things or getting punched in the mouth when games end and everyone is on the field
