QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 1, 2013 -> 04:11 PM) If it's a good job just go for it. If you bomb the interview oh well, better than not taking the shot. Or if it's a good job, simply say the time doesn't work with your schedule on such short notice and request a new day/time. Remember, recruiters just want to get as many candidates in when convenient for them. When I was interviewing these interns (holy s***, best idea ever) I'd routinely ask if they could come in next day. You're allowed to ask them to pick a new time. Just give them a few days/times or a window that works.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 1, 2013 -> 07:45 AM) Sunday's Chargers/Raiders game moved to a 8:35 PM Pacific kickoff time due to the stadium prep after the A's playoff games Friday/Saturday night. That's gonna end at 3 AM on the East Coast. Good thing it's just a s***ty Chargers/Raiders game.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 11:29 PM) Pirri has the offensive ability, but he's inconsistent and he's lazy defensively, plus I'm not sure how he would fare at the dot against NHL centers. I wouldn't want to hand him the keys to the second line yet. Am I surprised he didn't make the roster? Sure. But he's still got some work to do. He'll be a regular in this lineup soon enough unless he's used in a trade. Hayes also has a lot to prove this season. People like to think he's a big power forward because of his size, but he's really not. Hopefully it's something he can incorporate into his game more. He'll crash the net, but he's not necessarily a guy you plop in front of the goalie. Also, I'm bummed to see the Hawks lose Ryan Stanton to the Canucks. He's one hell of a d-man. Stanton > Brookbank. And in case you don't know much about Joakim Nordstrom, think poor man's Marcus Kruger. Very similar players. If I was running the team, Smith-Kruger-Morin is my 4th line. Damn good defensive abilities (especially Smith/Krugs) and a lot of scoring potential. I believe the argument was being made more against Handzus than for Pirri. Handzus is complete trash.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 07:38 PM) WHAT THE f*** CHANNEL IS THAT Hahahaha

Who wants in on the best NBA fantasy league ever? It's a keeper, I need two owners.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 01:39 PM) What if the Sox signed Abreu and McCann and traded Santiago and something for Lawrie. How would the team stack up at that point? As bad as this team seems, a couple of hitters, guys like Viciedo, Garcia and/or Beckham stepping up, and they are a pretty good team again. Holy f***, Viciedo and Beckham are NOT stepping up. They are awful baseball players.

My wife is at a conference and won't be back until Wednesday. We've watched every episode together since the pilot premiered. Waiting until Wednesday and avoiding everything is killing me.

HE'S ON PACE FOR 44 TURNOVERS.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 11:30 AM) Being in a 14 team league I only really had 2 RBs with one being MJD so I have basically been getting nothing out of one starting spot each week. While neither Miller or Richardson is great I at least now have 2 legitimate starting RBs and if White gets healthy I have a lot of good options at WR. The guy running away with the league got insanely lucky. He somehow got Charles with the 9th pick because of a couple really stupid first round picks from people, got Forte on the turn and then took Bush in the 4th. I was really hoping Bush would fall to me in the 4th and I wanted Forte in the 2nd. He took both of them 3 picks before I was up. Sigh. I was saying you ripped the other guy off.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 10:49 AM) NBA is going back to 2-2-1-1-1 finals format Thank God.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 10:29 AM) Similar situation but 6th highest point total in league (14 team league) despite having MJD on my team who has been about the worst 2nd round pick ever. Despite being in a 14 team league each opponent I've faced has put up at least 125 points (standard scoring other than .5 point ppr). Just absolutely ridiculous. So in complete desperation mode I decided to trade Arian Foster for Trent Richardson, Lamar Miller and Roddy White yesterday. Almost certainly too late to make a difference but I decided to go for the hail mary. What a ripoff. I'd kill to get that kind of return on Shady McCoy right now, but I can't seem to do better than Matt Forte + Hot Garbage for him in this league. Hence my non-caring. I also have MJD. And David Wilson.

0-4. 4th highest points in the league. C'est la vie. Fantasy basketball is only a few weeks away.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 27, 2013 -> 09:59 PM) Glad to see CT finally win, first time I rooted for Boston. That food challenge was out of control, did not need to see that much vomit. Watched the reunion just to see the punch, but that was a tough watch. I also was glad to see CT get his W.

So we have a D-Rose situation in New England. Pats think he's ready, his "camp" does not.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 27, 2013 -> 10:04 AM) Time to hang it up Paulie. It's been a good run.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 26, 2013 -> 11:29 PM) And Watch Dogs comes out Nov. 15th. Until about a month ago, the typically only bought 2 sports games a year, MLB The Show and NHL, but just in the last month I have purchased GTA 5, NHL 14, Bully, RDR: Undead Nightmare, Max Payne 3, Watchdogs, and GTA: Stories from Liberty City. It's amazing what living on your own for the first time can do to ya. Severe boredom. And apparently the discovery of credit cards.

I vote for tar and feather.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 27, 2013 -> 10:33 AM) I have a 42" Samsung LCD that is at least 6-7 years old. Works like a charm. I have a 42" Samsung LCD that is 7.5 years old and still works wonderfully and looks great. I also have a 50" LCD that's about 3 years old and is also a-ok.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Sep 27, 2013 -> 12:45 AM) Pain and Gain didn't do a thing for me. Now you see me is next on my list. Pain & Gain cracked me up.

Citing a league source, Profootballtalk.com reports Rob Gronkowski's (back, arm) outlook is "not optimistic" for Week 4 at Atlanta. What a f***ing p****. He must not be 110% yet.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 26, 2013 -> 04:06 PM) I'm gonna be in the minority here but I've yet to understand the love for GTA V. I'm not very far into the story yet (Franklin and the non crazy white guy just destroyed someone's house), but already I can tell this is yet another GTA game. Yes, that's obviously what it always was, but I dunno, it just feels too familiar. The dude on Grantland who I normally hate wrote a piece about maybe being too old for the game (although he's 40, i'm 31). Yet I kinda feel like maybe I'm too old for it now. I dunno that I can do open world games anymore. I normally only get 20-30 minutes to play a game and I need more structure a la The Last of Us or a sports game that I can just play a game and be done with it. GTA is almost too daunting and I don't have the energy to get sucked in (on top of it being super repetitive). Stop being a b****.

I gave both Franklin and Trevor ridiculous beards in GTA 5. Also, I don't have nearly as much time as I used to to play these games. I've had it for over a week and only just now did my first drug plane drop with Trevor. There's so much to do in the game, it's like 1,000 games in one.
