QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 10:57 AM) What about not having the all-time hits leader in a Hall of Fame and likely never letting in the single-season and all-time HR leader in the HoF? The Hall of Fame is a joke. There's men who were open members of the Ku Klux Klan in the Hall of Fame, but betting on baseball NO WAY! Attempted murder? In the Hall of Fame! Drug smuggling? Hall of Fame! Drunk on the playing field? Hall of Fame! High on the playing field? Hall of Fame! http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/09/sports/b...ed=all&_r=0 The Baseball Hall of Fame is a pile of stinking s***.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 10:18 AM) No matter what you think of the guy today, you really can't deny the body of work, IMO. It is like voting against Hank Aaron for the HOF because .229 with 10 homers in 1976. What about not having the all-time hits leader in a Hall of Fame and likely never letting in the single-season and all-time HR leader in the HoF? The Hall of Fame is a joke.

I can't vote as I refuse to like the pointless baseball hall of fame on Facebook.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 09:49 AM) Hmmm James Starks (who I just picked up @ CIN) or Daryl Richardson (@ DAL) as a flex? That was the first time a Packers player ran for a 100 yards in like 80 years. Expecting a repeat is foolish.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 18, 2013 -> 08:19 AM) pick two-hakim nicks, reggie wayne, james jones I've been playing nicks and wayne, but I'm leaning towards benching wayne this week vs. SF Eh, I'm still playing Wayne. Jones has a much bigger bust potential on any given week.

I already adore Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 08:22 PM) Best people to follow for that type of information? Just search for player last name and see latest tweets.

Wow. This game. This is a game. I did the first two "missions" with Franklin (and gave him a James Harden beard). In those missions, I said "holy s***" aloud multiple times. The peak was when I shot a vehicle, then randomly shot at the ground, then the fuel from the leaking vehicle caught fire which caught up to the vehicle and the f***ing thing blew up! Other notes: I ran over a dog. And I laughed and I laughed. I drove up to the "Vinewood" sign and shot some tourists. Then I drove off the mountain and bailed and died. I dove off a high bridge into water and swam around a lot. I successfully outran a 3 star wanted level. I shot up a strip club. I shot a deer. I died like 8 times. I put on a backwards cap. I laughed outloud like 80 times at the sheer insanity on my screen. This was all just in 1.5 hours. Holy f***.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 03:20 PM) I actually find driving a lot easier in this one than in GTA 4. GTA 4 I was sliding all over the place, I couldn't make any turns without going about 1/4 speed, and I constantly hit everything. That may be more realistic, but it's much less of a pain to drive across the city when I can go 100 mph and still be able to weave in and out of traffic. I just dove out of the Atomic blimp at the highest I think I could go. I jumped out over the skyscrapers hoping I would hit one, but I missed them all and went splat on the street, it was gruesome. I've only actually accomplished 1 mission so far, despite playing for about 2 1/2 hours. The phone use is AWESOME. It was SO BAD in GTA 4, but in this one it is really slick and fast and useful. You can access your bank account, go on the websites, call or text friends and services, reply to emails (gives you choices of responses), take pictures, instantly save your game, and possibly other things I haven't notice yet. The nicest part may be that you use your controller to hit the buttons on the phone. This allows you to drive your car and use your phone, and it allows you go move through the phone so much quicker when you don't have to scroll through options. Yeah - I let it install on my lunchbreak and will get a good two hours in before the wife gets home from yoga. I'd be shocked if I do any missions beyond the first "find your apartment" mission (if that's how it's set up yet again).

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 01:48 PM) Start time of most Hawks home games has been moved up to 7:00. Woohoo.

That article is horrendously written and apparently not proofed.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 11:27 AM) Man I'm also down Rice and Jones Drew. Should i go for J Rodgers? Go for the vodka. You're f***ed.

Ten things you may have missed on this week's Breaking Bad. Yes, those are Walt's khakis from s1e1.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 10:47 AM) GTA V map with GTA IV map overlayed Good. God.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 08:11 AM) Steelers offense is awful. They are going to have a hard time scoring points this year. /captain obvious

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 10:02 PM) Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon, or Anquan Boldin? PPR. This is a problem I wish I had. Nothing like saying "f*** it" and going balls out on running backs just to wind up with your 2 and 3 being MJD and Wilson.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 17, 2013 -> 01:31 AM) One gripe about GTA V...analog steering is far too sensitive. Everything else is awesome though. The amount of detail is amazing. I'd be shocked if you can't adjust the sensitivity of the analog steering.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFan05 @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 03:42 PM) Not much of a Facebook guy, but there's a good Sox page I follow. They're usually pretty good with info, they leaked the Peavy and Crain deals many hours before they were official. Here's what they posted recently on Beckham: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=433...5219&type=1 Two posts and a link directly to a Facebook page. Obvious, much?

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 02:15 PM) David Fincher is directing the adaptation of "Gone Girl" http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/bl...r-film-20130916 Maybe he can do something about that ending . . . Great book, though. He'll do it justice.

The fans are super excited for hockey in Florida. This was the anthem scene at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla., this afternoon for Predators-Panthers. It proves once and for all that there's no better setting for preseason hockey than a doubleheader that begins at 2:30 on a Monday in south Florida in the middle of September.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 09:04 PM) Yes, Beasley is just going to singlehandedly torpedo the Heat's defense. lol. Get over it. You're only hating because it's the Heat. Period. I don't think anyone said "f*** yeah, Beasley" when the Suns got him, either.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 01:54 PM) If you gave me a team with LeBron, Wade, Bosh, and the rest of that crew, yeah, I'd probably win 55-60 games showing up drunk every game. This is 100% accurate.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 01:08 PM) Mac & Speigs had Arkush on this afternoon and the three of them were talking about how Peppers really isn't being double-teamed this year. It sure looked like he was double-teamed yesterday. That said, he's entered "old and bad" territory regardless. Julius Peppers of 5 years ago laughed at double teams and f***ed quaterbacks in the ass.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 12:59 PM) And you, like many, don't give him the credit he deserves because he has LeBron. Think back to '11 and compare them to '13 (offensively speaking) and it's not even close. "Pace and space" is what Heat fans call it. There's many articles you can find online dissecting the Heat's very complicated offensive schemes. The offensive scheme that involves players standing at the 3 point line to clear the lane for Wade or LeBron? Yeah, REALLY complicated. It's so brilliant it completely negates any value Chris Bosh has by making him take 18 foot jumpers all day.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 11:12 AM) Where has Julius Peppers been for the most part? Being double-teamed like crazy.
