Finally got around to seeing Fincher's version of Dragon Tattoo. I actually like it better than the Swedish version. Look forward to the other two. Is he doing them all?

Last night's Todd Margaret was the best one of the season so far. Loved the Jon Hamm reveal.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 26, 2012 -> 06:12 PM) I just don't get how someone can have this line of reasoning. Wins alone don't tell you if someone is a good manager. Don't you think the actual amount of talent on a roster is single biggest driver of wins? Sure, the manager can impact that production by motivating his players and having them prepared to play, but there's no easy way to measure exactly how much of a difference he made. The manager's in-game decision-making is the other major way he can improve his team's chances to win and that is also difficult to measure. Regardless, wins only tell you how all the individual pieces performed in aggregate, they do not tell you anything about manager's specific contributions. Unfortunately, evaluating a manager has to be subjective. Look at how his roster performed versus how much talent it posesses. Consider how well his team did in close games, where the manager can actually make a difference. The worst team in baseball record-wise could very well have the best manager, if he got more out of his talent and made better decisions than all other managers would have in his role. You use wins to defend Ozzie as a great manager, while I would say his teams did not live up to expections since 2005. He may have the best record in Sox history, but IMO it should have been better given the talent he had. On top of that, he became a terrible in-game manager in recent years, making decisions so confounding it almost seems like he made them simply to put his stamp on the games. Guillen did a good job in 2005, but has progressively gotten worse to the point where he is a bad manager. If people don't agree, they must have missed the past couple seasons, because he cost a lot of games during that time with his idiotic decisions.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 25, 2012 -> 09:50 PM) That is genius on his part. He can always say that he told everybody what was coming, even though he couldn't get the story from Ozzie in his newspaper. What does that have to do with anything?

Anybody with half a brain knew all of this.

No, he's a Kansas City pollster.

Curious how many times icing the kicker has worked in the history of the NFL. Twice?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 22, 2012 -> 07:50 PM) He led by example. The smart ones copied his style of working quickly and ignored the style of Edwin (snail's pace) Jackson. Mark had the balls to take the ball and deliver it quickly. It was always on his terms. Were you complaining in 2005 when Jose Contreras was mowing everyone down left and right in the post season using his snail's pace?

The question is does SOXOBAMA keep Alex Smith as his #2 best athlete of all time behind Walter Payton?

Come on rain! Make it a muffed snap!

God I hate watching the Giants. Of all the great playoff teams in the NFC these dopes are going to the super bowl?

Ugh. What a way to lose a game.

Patrick Willis is a beast.

These offenses are painful to watch.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 22, 2012 -> 03:59 PM) Damn straight I mocked his death and I'll continue to do so. You can look at it anyway you want, the bastard enabled child rape. f*** him. Amen

Cundiff will be out of work soon.

Dumbass trips over his own feet and stays in bounds.

unreal

If the Pats convert this into 7 I'm calling game.

I don't recall ever hearing about Mark coaching other pitchers.

Not so huge after all.

Huge stop by the Ravens there on 3rd down.
