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.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 26, 2013 -> 12:01 PM) nah it's true. It's a good show but people calling it the greatest of all time and putting it next to the Wire and Sopranos are so far off. It's closer to something like Homeland. Over the top, unrealistic when you stop and think, and completely ridiculous at times but you'll still enjoy it if you turn your brain off for an hour a week. It is still great TV. To each his own. Anyone who says "The Wire" > "Breaking Bad" is just trying to be cool and different in my book. There has been what, maybe one or two "not great" episodes of Breaking Bad, while entire seasons of The Wire flat out stunk.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 26, 2013 -> 11:39 AM) Breaking Bad is incredibly overrated by those caught up in the moment, but it's still pretty good. Definitely worth watching through it. I thought it was the best show on television while watching previous seasons - so caught up in the moment? No.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 24, 2013 -> 11:34 PM) Ok I have a fantasy trade question. I'm in a 12 team league, I'm stacked at WR with Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones, and Victor Cruz. I can play all 3 at once because of the Flex position and I have DeAndre Hopkins as my 4th WR. But I'm very weak at RB. I have Arian Foster and Rashard Mendenhall as my 2 running backs. Chris Ivory and Micheal Bush are now my only 2 backups. So I basically have nothing at the RB. So naturally someone who's heavy at RB and weak at WR approached me and gave me 3 trade possibilities. 1. Victor Cruz for Maurice Jones-Drew 2. Julio Jones for Maurice Jones-Drew 3. DeAndre Hopkins for Ben Tate. He also has Fred Jackson, CJ Spiller, Ryan Matthews and Ahmad Bradshaw for RB's. Think any of those 3 trades might be a good idea? Or asking for another RB instead? Help please! I'm 3-0 right now whereas he's 0-3 so he probably is pretty desperate. dude trade Julio Jones guy is complete garbage. jk, can't believe you'd consider that. I'd look at Cruz for Jones-Drew. MJD had a passable game against the Seahawks - easier schedule coming.

"Felina" is the name of the last episode. Names are important in the Bad universe. And Felina, according to Wikipedia, could refer to the scientific classification for small cats. Honestly, I wish I could write some eloquent prediction based on this nomenclature. Unfortunately, I have no idea what cats and Breaking Bad might have to do with each other. Conversely, it might not have anything to do with cats -- but I think the Internet would love it if it did. Because what is better than mixing two of the web's favorite things -- felines and Breaking Bad? I guess we'll have to wait until the next episode to find out.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 24, 2013 -> 01:27 AM) BB final is going to be sweet.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 23, 2013 -> 02:45 PM) Meh. They will never get the shot at the Heat back from last year. Unless he wins a title, I will always remember that playoffs. You'll remember that playoffs as what? Do you really think a rusty, timid Derrick Rose pushes the Bulls past the Heat last year? If you do, you're extremely silly.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 23, 2013 -> 01:12 PM) Committed Indians Options for this story USA Today's Kevin Allen reports the Hawks have placed Kyle Beach on waivers... Thus ends the glory.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 22, 2013 -> 09:37 PM) 0-3

A tale of two halves.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 22, 2013 -> 08:15 AM) f***in Gronk isn't playing because of his god damn forearm now. For being such a beast, that dude is made of f***in toilet paper. Where did year hear this? If it's the forearm, might as well drop him.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 20, 2013 -> 12:34 PM) How many carries has McCoy gotten per game? 14.7

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 20, 2013 -> 10:23 AM) Seriously, you have to think they're kicking themselves right now for not bringing back Wes. I think the Dolphins are the favorite in that division right now. LOL. No.

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 20, 2013 -> 09:40 AM) His side won and losers walk? A three year old isn't in school. But yeah, why isn't he playing baseball? Wow. You're all jokes on this subject.

Only complete morons could have looked at this roster and thought the White Sox would win anything this year.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 20, 2013 -> 10:00 AM) So someone proposed this trade to me in a 2QB PPR league...Cam + Daryl Richardson for Big Ben + Trent Richardson. Obviously a huge upgrade at QB but I don't trust D. Richardson to start all year. Especially with Pead back now. Your starting quarterback is Big Ben? yeesh

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 19, 2013 -> 10:39 PM) Can someone who knows more about our Hawks prospects than I do please let me know if all this talk about Teuvo Teravainen is simply because he is our guy, or is he really a ROY contender? I hear everyone say how skilled and incredible he could be, and that he has some Kaner in him, but I can't tell if that's homers, or if that's the national consensus. Thanks. Wait, Kaner and Teuvo are banging?

During Barry Sanders’ 10-year career, he averaged 4.98 yards per carry, scored a rushing touchdown every 0.64 games and averaged 2.30 receptions per game. Through LeSean McCoy’s four-plus seasons, he’s averaged 4.75 yards per carry, scored a rushing touchdown every 0.52 games and averaged 3.70 receptions per game.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 20, 2013 -> 08:53 AM) It was fairly obvious watching the game last night which team had an NFL coach that has 10+ years of experience and which had a rookie head coach with a very explosive system. Also, it was fairly obvious why everyone shouldn't freak out about one good week if it happens in week 1. Vick is still Vick. There's been only one season where he shed the turnover problems. That there's an outlier.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 20, 2013 -> 08:05 AM) So, since I got the 5 last year, I can't get a new iPhone for another year unless I want to pay $450 for the 5S today. That's usually how it works.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 19, 2013 -> 10:33 AM) Dirk and the Mavs spoof the hump day commercial. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baske...0,1284296.story 2.5/4

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 08:36 PM) My driving skills should be 110/100 right now. Seriously, I enjoy long driving missions because my driving skills are unreal right now. Is it Oct. 1st yet? I got some bank heist missions to wheelman on. Yeah, my driving skills flew up quickly over the three hours I got to play a few nights ago. I've always been a GTA driving beast, though.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 03:04 PM) I also wish that Steve would get back on the horse and write up a quick dreamy GTA review. I'm on the career horse and it pays way better.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 11:04 AM) Just to clear something up. Ford C. Frick Award winners are not inducted into the Hall of Fame and are not considered "Hall of Famers". They just get their name on a fancy plaque and get to give a speech on Hall of Fame induction day. Sure - but to vote I had to "like" that facebook page, which I couldn't bring myself to do.
