Hi everybody, I just wanted to join the thread really quick to say that Nick Swisher f***ing blows.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 02:42 PM) I don't think anybody is going to argue that polls are not nearly as important as people think, ESPECIALLY in a race where a national poll means nothing because it comes down to what happens in individual states, and not overall national popular vote. But polls themselves are often inaccurate. For instance, didn't all the exit polls have Kerry winning the election in 2004 even on election day itself? Some polls aren't important. However, THIS one is...

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 02:07 PM) what policies? This elections isnt about issues, remember? Exactly. Sarah Palin has nice glasses so people want to vote for her.

It's too bad a publicity stunt like Sarah Palin works in this country.

Idiots. Or geniuses?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 01:10 PM) Anyone see that Will Smith was offered the part of Captain America? But Captain America is white!

The Packers have a great team around Rodgers, but there will be growing pains.

The Jays are hot, but wow, it'd sure be nice to have a 3.5 game lead after today.

You can't plan. If he comes back, that's amazing, but right now, the team has to know they have to pick it up without him. Here's a question, what are the rules with playoff eligibility? CQ wouldn't get blocked I presume.

QUOTE (SoCalSouthSider59 @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 10:25 AM) Are you still? Burn!

Sweet. I actually got sold by marketing for once and ran to NFL.com when I saw there was a promotion for tonight only. It's 20% off customized stuff. The customization is really cool, you can choose your shirt color, main logo and add stuff to the sleeves as well. I got myself a navy blue shirt with the orange C centered on the front and OLSEN 82 on the back, as well as an 82 on the left sleeve. Can't wait for that f***in' thing to arrive. And yes, I probably should have gone with Forte, but you know everyone and their f***ing mother is ordering a Forte at this very moment. Olsen needs some love, and Orton's going to use him lots this season.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 8, 2008 -> 04:10 PM) According to CNBC, it is estimated $150 million of fantasy prize money that would have been won, will be lost by owners who drafted Tom Brady. That's hilarious.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 8, 2008 -> 11:19 AM) The emperor has no clothes Unfortunately mindless Americans don't care. I really fear that she'll be our next VP.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 06:53 PM) And I'm sorry, but if there's a bigger "instant celebrity" right now than The Hockey Mom, I haven't seen him or her. From unknown to the cover of every magazine on the planet in 3 days.

Just f***ing awesome tonight Bears.

Turner making us NIU alum proud today! Oh, and he's on all three of my fantasy teams...

"Traitor" was a bit slow at times, but in the end a decent flick.

BREAKING NEWS FROM THE SCORE Jesse Rogers says wrist injury is severe and there is a fracture possibility. He's more than likely out for the rest of the regular season.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 11:44 AM) Cowley's now hearing nothing about it, which is not good news for us. Maybe that person on Reifert's blog was correct all along, and CQ's out 4 weeks with a fracture. Exactly. If it were good news, the Sox would have damn sure had it out immediately. Bad news takes a little longer to spin.

This whole thing is a farce and a huge reason that I hate politics sometimes. My favorite part of Palin's "speech" (aside from the blatant lies, the making fun of people like she's a child, and all that) was her taking a long time to introduce her son who conveniently joins the forces on 9/11, and her other child, who conveniently means votes from those with special needs interests, and her husband, who conveniently reminds us all of our friends, but she completely dissed and ignored her pregnant teenage daughter. Palin should be ashamed of the hate-filled speech she gave. How is her comparing Obama to Christ NOT being ripped apart? Why does she get a free pass? BECAUSE SHE'S A HOCKEY MOM AND DOESN'T BELONG HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Sans Quentin we could easily go 10-13

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 11:26 AM) agreed - if the results were negative it seems like they would've said so right away. Just speculating, but they're probably trying to figure out how long it will take to heal so they can make an announcement. again, just mere speculation. If you want a knockout blow for this team, take away it's best hitter.

This is really, really, really not good.

Word has it through the Score the Sox are more than lightly worried about this forearm injury. Anyone have any news? Last I heard he was playing tonight.

You won't lose that appeal. Don't worry about that.
