LET'S GO WHITE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOX Big Jake bringing the added velocity this year - start things off right.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 11:41 AM) I won't be able to start watching till about 3 and I want to start from the beginning. Can I do that on MLB.tv or should I wait till it is definitely over? I believe you have to wait until it is over.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 11:42 AM) I basically never played it because it didnt have franchise. Pretty annoying. QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 11:45 AM) I didn't buy it because it didn't have franchise mode. Since the entire planet b****ed about that, they added it with an update. That said, Madden f***ing blows now.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 09:59 AM) I don't know, I never got into Breaking Bad...I watched the first episode and didn't care for it. QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 10:18 AM) I quit Breaking Bad during the third season IIRC. Too many times they recycled the plot and had stupid crap happening.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 11:36 AM) All of stems from the way Coach K treated HIM at Duke. HE absolutely has hated college coaches since then. HE believes they all have too much power and will do evil things with it. HE was taking shots at NU for hiring Collins because Collins picked Duke over NU. HE will always attack college coaches as much as possible and will not consider any other side. You're right. Bernstein has a problem with coaches. But he doesn't go around making up stories to hurt their reputations. He's simply reporting something that Steve Alford did that is reprehensible.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 11:23 AM) Oh no, Bernstein has admitted as such. He has gone on record saying that he loves to see Alford fail because of how much of a horrible human being he is. Oh, well, that's not really a personally vendetta as much as it is a good stance against assholes.

These are absolutely incredible. A few things that make no sense about The Walking Dead

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 11:22 AM) So Berstein is can't be questioned because of the issue here. BS. If I understand your broken English properly, why would we question Bernstein here?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 11:14 AM) I mean that he goes into his righteous indignation mode. I don't care and I don't think his concerns are wrong or misplaced. Oh. Then you are a good person and I do not have an argument with you.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 10:34 AM) That's fine...but maybe he could discuss the overarching issue a bit more...instead of just zeroing in on Alford, who he clearly has a personal issue with outside of this particular transgression. link? thef*ck? You're just making things up.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 10:22 AM) So outside of talking about Steve Alford, what is he doing to actually fight sexual assault? Is he donating to organizations? Is he volunteering at battered women's shelters? Talking about a news story isn't nearly equal to actually fighting something. Actually, Dan Bernstein does raise a lot of money for various charities. He lives on the northwest side of Chicago with his wife and two children, and is actively involved in fundraising for such charities as Children’s Oncology Services, The Michael Rolfe Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research, Blind Services Association and others.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 10:19 AM) LMAO. Yes, let's try to make that ridiculous connection, he's trying to make money off sexual assault. He's actually trying to fight it if you listen to him, which you claim you don't, but probably do. Doubt he makes any money off of talking about Alford directly. He's been at the Score what, 15 years? He's a salaried employee, probably pretty consistent with that as well. I highly doubt the ratings spike due to talking about Alford for a few days, and enough to have someone walk into the office with a giant bag of money. It's not about money. I agree entirely here. He's writing a column for the 670 website, he's not getting paid more for that. That being said, even if he were to make more money, he's on the right side of the argument.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 10:02 AM) Bernstein gets on his high-horse whenever this side of sports (abuse, sexual or otherwise, that gets covered up) rears its head. It's not hard to be on your "high horse" against sexual abuse. Anyone who has not done abusing of a sexual nature has the right. What the f*** am I reading, here?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 10:01 AM) Except he isn't really fighting sexual assault. He is trying to make money off of it. Brilliant. Every media outlet that exists does so with the end goal being to make money.

Mike Rice - what an idiot. Enjoy working D3.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 08:19 AM) Why wait until now? This happened 7 or 8 years ago. Why has Berstein waited until Alford got a huge job if he isn't looking for pub? He doesn't forget. Nor should he in this instance. I'd say he's just "looking for pub" if he hadn't been consistently after Alford for the BS he got away with from the onset. And Bernstein was also ahead of the story with regards to Penn State. How dare the man have some conviction in his profession - especially with regards to sexual assault!

Jesus, SS2K, you are clueless.

Anyone watching Mr. Selfridge?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 2, 2013 -> 04:43 PM) I still haven't either. I'm just getting through Fable II, but taking my sweet ass time doing so. It's not my fault that Bethesda makes ridiculously awesome games, that Madden 12 was one of the best football games of all time, and that NBA 2k12 is a sports fan's methamphetamine. NBA 2k13 is even better. As for your Madden comment, this still annoys me with how much worse it's been since.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 2, 2013 -> 04:10 PM) That video was not an April Fool's Day joke. They ran it to open the whole "show" and then they played it again halfway through said show. You don't run an April Fool's day joke on opening day as one of your centerpieces. It also wasn't a joke of any kind trying to trick anyone. Someone tried to have fun and show more "personality" for some of the players. It just ended up being a terrible piece. You, sir, need to learn to boleeve.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 2, 2013 -> 03:48 PM) Just because I'm acting on impulse and he's had a great opening day, I am going to say that Matt Wieters is a darkhorse MVP candidate this year And you followed his monster Spring Training, yes? He's on both MY FANTASY TEAMS B*TCH.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 2, 2013 -> 03:43 PM) I prefer outdoors to indoors. There is just a different feeling, its probably the drugs, but there is definitely something to an outdoor concert. I just lolzd.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 2, 2013 -> 03:54 PM) CATCH ALL MURDERED IT NOT THE FACT THAT IT WAS A DAY GAME AND PEOPLE PRESUMABLY HAD WORK Hey, let's be honest, the season opener is always a day game.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 2, 2013 -> 03:58 PM) Not sure if you saw this yesterday, but baseball is back. And so is I Oh yeah, I posted your article. It performed well. People like drunk jokes.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 2, 2013 -> 10:10 AM) Soxtalk was started like 2002-ish. 1,000,000 posts came January of 2006. 2,000,000 posts came September of 2009. Soxtalk, as of 4/13 is at 2.7 million. Catch-Alls have been around since 2005. There's a reason you have this title at Flapship. B.
