Technology catch-all thread
QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 12:47 PM) I was thinking about getting my Dad Netflix for Christmas (Mom would use it too, just less). They aren't the most tech-savvy people, but it seems like Netflix is a pretty easy process. Is this the way to go, or would you recommend a different route for getting TV shows/movies they'd want to watch? I don't know much about the different options out there, and would love to hear from people who have used any of them. Thanks. If my parents could figure out Netflix, you're parents can figure out Netflix. Go for it.

I dont give a f*** you bought an elf doll and now its hanging off your toilet seat. Elf on a Shelf is ridiculous. I have de-friended two mothers on Facebook the past week for thinking the world gives a s*** that they recreated someone's Pinterest idea.

This Cavs and Blazers game was awesome. Lillard going 6th in last year's draft remains so silly. But the Cavs already had a point guard, so why would they want a lights out 3pt demon?

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 03:18 PM) I doubt you'll see the All Pro version of Rodgers coming off an injury and weeks of inaction. He'll be rusty and trying to get up to real NFL game speed. He's Aaron Rodgers. He'll dominate.

God, that Cowboys implosion really f***ed s*** up. The Packers almost certainly would have just given Rodgers the last two games off. Now he's going to be back and dominating, and that Week 17 game is going to be a b****.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 10:27 AM) you are just being nitpicky because flapship didnt break it SOME RUMORS (SOURCES THAT STEVE9347 DOESNT SUPPORT) STATE THAT HOUSTON IS ASKING FOR THE MOON FOR ASIK edited for accuracy Well, that's inaccurate. I referenced Flapship as an unreliable source in my post above by saying it'd be an even worse "source" than NY Daily News or Bleacher Report, and have dropped all interest since receiving my ridiculous promotion months ago. I can, however, call a spade a spade and see when online material is reliable or not. Three "articles" referencing an "article" with made-up information does not the truth make. The fact of the matter is that the Rockets would likely give Asik away if they could, but that final year of his contract remains a poison pill because it's a ridiculous sum to pay someone like Omer Asik.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 09:43 AM) The Score is saying that there is more crap coming out of the DRose camp directed at the Bulls. What did I miss? THey are going to talk about it soon. Found it: Derrick Rose unhappy with Bulls' rebuilding plans His injuries are forcing the rebuild!! STFU DRose. I really have lost respect for you The NY Daily News is all garbage. The Score clearly just needs something to talk about.

Sox trade Addison Reed to Diamondbacks for 3b Matt Davidson
QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 02:34 AM) As far as I'm concerned, Rick Hahn has had an A-grade offseason so far. Infusing this team with top-tier MLB ready (or near) talent is so difficult, yet so crucial to avoid a prolonged rebuild. I don't see any feasible way that Adam Dunn get's dealt, but as Spring Training nears, there could be a team or two still desperate for some power, and it would be possible for him to get something done. Perhaps Viciedo/prospect could net him a catcher? Who knows what happens next. Agree with everything above.

Sox trade Addison Reed to Diamondbacks for 3b Matt Davidson
QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 12:46 AM) I dont understand people laughing at Kevin Towers for this deal. The Dbacks have Prado under control for the next 3 years. Their OF has Trumbo-Parra-Pollock for the foreseeable future. They had no room for Davidson. You could certainly argue they may have been able to get more for Davidson elsewhere, but this move only makes the Dbacks better both now and in the future. They gave up a cost-controlled 3b prospect whom many believe will be legit for an average relief pitcher who happened to pitch most of his games in the 9th inning.

Sox should trade for Samardzija
QUOTE (soxfan-kwman @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 12:21 AM) Chris sale as our number 1 & Samardzija as our number 2, this would make us a competitive team. If the new young guys are decent, we could contend faster then some people would expect. I'm not big on getting players from the national league, but I'm sure Cooper can probably turn Samardzija into Cy Young candidate. At least he can keep him interested in playing. Any thoughts what we would have to give up?

If you were Brooks Boyer
QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 12:03 PM) For me, put a genuine potential contender on the field or no matter what they do my money stays in my pocket regardless of advertising. Maybe that's just me though. Clearly a great goal for the marketing team.
