QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 26, 2013 -> 11:25 PM) Yes, get a legitimate one. Honestly after that don't get the double black, get some other Hawks apparel, like a nice hoody, pullover, etc. instead. There are a lot of good options out there that you'll get more use out of once you have a jersey checked off the list. You could always do one from nhl.com. Have also heard good things about River City Sports and Triple Threat Sports. I'm not sure what the quality is at a place like Total Hockey or Dick's, you'd have to check them out to be sure. Stay super safe if it's your first (and possibly only) jersey, go Toews. You don't want to end up like me and have Ruutu, Bell, Sullivan etc. While we're on the topic, I wish people would stop buying green knockoff Hawks jerseys. Not only do they look brutal by themselves, but they look terrible amongst all the red/black/white in the crowd, and on top of it, they've never worn any such jersey. I still cherish my Steve Sullivan jersey (in white) I also own this, and actually have it signed, too, but made him sign it #10, not 12. I was such a psycho as a teen. Now I rock the Hossa third jersey. The Hossa I didn't mind even though he's not Toews or Kane because a- he's my favorite, and b- he won a cup. Any player from the Cup winning team is a safe bet. I'd proudly wear a Byfuglien jersey today if I had one. As for Saad, he'd be fun, but he could be a relic quickly because this team is built around Kane and Toews, and everyone else is expendable.

Since we're rehashing, reports out of Cleveland were that the Bulls, by far, made the worst pitch to LeBron. They basically challenged him to be better than MJ, and only had two old white guys in the room. Now, onto Rose. Are people really starting to hate on the kid? I'm frustrated that he's not back yet, more than anyone who doesn't have stock in the organization. I thought he'd be back a month ago. That being said, he's clearly wanting to come back without limits and to dominate, and I'm ok with that. Maybe we'll see him tomorrow, maybe we'll see him in two weeks, maybe next season, but when D-Rose gets back he'll remind you all of why he won an MVP award.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Feb 26, 2013 -> 04:29 PM) Anyone listen to Waddle and Silvy? My friend is telling me Greg Anthony believes, 'after talking to some people' that Rose will be back Thursday vs. Philly. Can anyone confirm? Greg Anthony wants you to watch him on TNT

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 26, 2013 -> 04:02 PM) Just did first snowblow. Heavy stuff. Don't wait. Got good workout. If you used a snowblower, it wasn't a workout.

Since this re-alignment is stupid, I will change the subject. Patrick Kane stops the "college boy" act and applies himself, and look - 24 points in 19 games. The future is sexy.

That's stupid.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 26, 2013 -> 12:08 PM) Wear a jersey that actually exists, not too hard. Yeah, if you're going to get a stupid looking knockoff with a Blackhawks logo, Jewel sells them for like $30.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 26, 2013 -> 10:53 AM) Are you saying there is something wrong with wearing a Blackhawks sweater when there is no game going on? If he's not saying it, I'll go ahead and say it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 06:25 PM) Kordell probably had a better arm and had 2 inches and maybe 15-20 lbs on Denard. Robinson is probably faster. He's about the same size as Randle El. Can he kick field goals?

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 26, 2013 -> 08:31 AM) Physically you can go back to playing around 9 months sometimes as late as 11. However, athletes will tell you that while they can play the knee doesn't feel "normal" until around 18 months post-op. If he is truly waiting until it feels "normal" as opposed to playing when he is physically cleared, it could be next year. Yeah, that's the f*** of it, if he really wants to wait until he feels normal, it's next year. If he really wants to wait until the impossible 110%, it's never!

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 26, 2013 -> 08:49 AM) Are the Hawks gonna wear those throwbacks this year? They aren't really throwbacks - the logo is an homage to the jerseys of the 30s and 40s... But it was a straight-up new design for the Winter Classic in Wrigley LOL at Baby Toews. Obviously, the design was so f***ing gorgeous they kept it on (sans patch) as the new third jersey, replacing the rarely seen black alternate... And yes, I'd hope we see those Winter Classic alternates, and I'm sure we will. I'm glad the Hawks don't bust them out all the time - save them for a national game on NBC when you're not in a 19-game undefeated in regulation streak.

I think Jenks just asked for pics of you in the bath.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 06:08 PM) I'm glad I watch Shameless alone. Would be uncomfortable otherwise. I always hope my wife doesn't walk in during a scene where I'll be judged. I tried to get her to watch it, no interest. Hilarious, great show.

There's that, too.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 11:50 PM) Lol that jersey is 160 not what I'd call cheap. Right now I just have a jersey shirt from the winter classic and was wanting something better. You have three options to choose from in the, hands down, best jersey set of any professional sports team. There is no need to select something other than what you see below. Choose wisely. Quick aside. I am STILL annoyed that the NHL switched to colors at home. I still think of the white jersey as the home sweater.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 10:52 PM) I think that any accomplishments, be they individual or team-related (as is the case with the 2012/13 Hawks season), need an asterisk next to them during shortened years- especially one that has been nearly halved. It's been like 37 hours since the season began and it's nearly halfway over already. The same goes for each of the other major sports. This would be a record if they had a full 82 game schedule ahead of them, so I don't really understand the qualification.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 26, 2013 -> 08:02 AM) Which is kind of how he tore the ACL in the first place, coming back too quickly from his rash of other injuries. At least, we think there's a relationship between that injury and the others.

This isn't real life.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 07:43 PM) Any reason as to why he is sitting as to this point? I am guessing he wants to come back at an MVP level. However, that's a catch 22 as he needs to play to get there (if he will at all).

race jokes ok fat jokes bad Alright, world. Heaven forbid someone make fun of Adele for being a slob!

sick lebron dunk

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 01:08 PM) @BradBiggs Notre Dame LB Manti Te'o runs 4.81 40-yard dash in first attempt. Probably not where he wanted to be. 4.80 in second attempt. Bad broad jump 20-30 lbs lighter than they thought. Dude is easily out of the first round, now.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 12:03 PM) We Saw your boobs was pretty awesome. Not really. I thought McFarlane did a fine job as host, but that is one boring 3 hours of television.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 10:01 AM) Its cause he gets the offense more in sync early. Nate has his moments but the ball movement stops with him in there. Kurt is also a significant upgrade on the defensive side of the court vs. Nate. Tell me more about this Kurt Hinrich character.
