Back on topic... X-Sport is running a "free personal training" session for anyone interested in February. Now the gym is packed and the machines I use for weight training always taken by some personal trainer spending 25-30 minutes explaining what a weight is... and it's f***ing annoying.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 16, 2011 -> 11:01 PM) Survivor was good. Out of respect to fellow dvr users I will not discuss specifics. Then PM me or something. That was one heck of a first episode.

The Hawks managed to pull off a 3-1 win last night, but it wasn't without looking like s***. This team is so lazy when it comes to passes out of the zone, and they try to get way too fancy in front of the net vs just shooting the puck. Hossa had 5 shots on goal, but he should have had like 12. He's become Alexei Zhamnov-bad at passing the puck instead of shooting. Either way, Corey Crawford, I was wrong. You're solid.

Bulls / Spurs tonight. It's time to make a mark on this season and let the league know we're for real.

Ricky Gervais: Will Arnett Should be Next 'Office' Boss I'd be so happy with this. Will Arnett is at his best as "the boss". His moments on AD with his 3-6k suits, and his moments on "The Adventures of Todd Margaret" as his boss, as well as his part-time role on "30 Rock", are just f***ing side-splitting. I'd lose it.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 16, 2011 -> 10:18 AM) Cubs hire Keith Moreland to replace Santo in the radio booth They could have hired Muhammad Ali and it would have been an upgrade.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 16, 2011 -> 12:15 PM) People keep mentioning the Cubs, but has anyone thought maybe Pujols wouldn't want to tarnish his legacy with the Cardinals and go play for their rival? To me, if Pujols leaves the Cards, it will be for the AL. If the non-Cardinals' signing team is smart, that's the only option. Given the length of contract required, you'd want to have the opportunity to DH a 39 year old Albert.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 16, 2011 -> 10:48 AM) Alex Rios was a huge, huge POS last offseason. OMG he has had a bad month in September, why would they give so much money to such an awful player. Looks kind of silly now. Yeah, that .684 OPS he posted in 2010 post All-Star Break really silenced all the critics.

The "deadline" has passed, according to Olney. Not that it even matters because the deadline isn't really a deadline.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Feb 16, 2011 -> 08:44 AM) I have a question. If I am on an elliptical machine, trying to lose weight, and the target heart rate progress bar has categories marked: warm up - fat burn - cardio - max. Do I need to stay in that "fat burn" category? It feels like I'm not even working hard there. I hardly break a sweat. When I'm in the cardio/max category, then I feel like I'm working and burning some real calories. Basically, I think it would take me like 45-60 minutes to burn the same amount of calories I do in 30 minutes if I ignore that "fat burn" zone and just go at it. The question is, is that hurting my weight loss? It seems silly to me that a less intense workout is burning more fat. Burning calories = weight loss. However you burn more calories is best. As someone who's lost 20 lbs since January 10th, it's all about burning more calories and consuming less calories. Strict weight loss is one of the easiest things you can do... it's math really.

This time last year we were all loving up on ESPY TEAHEN on twitter and thinking he was hilarious and also going to not suck at baseball. What other perceptions changed in the last year, be they Sox, MLB, or anything?

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 04:53 PM) Ohman is now going with 77. Milledge has been assigned #5. Then he's already made the roster...

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Feb 16, 2011 -> 01:02 AM) Are you facebook creeping soxtalkers? From the looks of this thread, Soxtalkers are Facebook creeping her. Congrats on getting married, btw.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 16, 2011 -> 07:47 AM) I have to believe they both have immunity until the merge than whomever has the most tribe people left will vote out either Rob orRussell. Some people hate that they were brought back but after last seasons cast, you need something cool to make up for it. I just hope Rob is not a wuss this time. I have to imagine Rob's going to show up in better shape, or else he's meat.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 16, 2011 -> 08:09 AM) I can't believe it took me this long to start watching Tosh.0. Hilarious. I had this revelation about a month ago. The lovely thing is Comedy Central replays old episodes all week long so the DVR just piles them up.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 16, 2011 -> 08:28 AM) Looking at the standings, I don't think it's too early to call tonight a must-win. Hawks had 3 days rest, & the Wild lost last night. Two points for Frolik tonight. This is a huge god damn game. It's time for Hossa to rise from his slumber (if he plays) as well.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 10:45 PM) Yes! Who do you think will make if further, Boston Rob or Russell? I say they are going to unexpectedly team up, and Russell will turn on Rob when the time is right. The real question is, how long does one of them survive on "Redemption Island"? I can't f***ing wait. Russell has his work cut out this time, though. People actually know what his game is, whereas the last two times he played that wasn't the case.

Cards reportedly offer Albert 8 years, $240 million via Heyman.

TheChive had a Shay Maria photoshoot that was UNEDITED. That last part being key. It posted today and it is beautiful. I'm done with shopped up, nearly CGI versions of anorexic women. Their point about non-shopped pics is right on... natural is so much hotter.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 03:21 PM) Ugh via Absolutely terrible.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 04:33 PM) It will be interesting to see if he plays the whole five years at a good level, or if he gets lazy. Racist.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 12:37 PM) If only I could be so memorable. This is why I went custom. F*ck Phil Wellman.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 11:56 AM) The difference in those percentages adds up to almost exactly one game if you multiply that out of a seven game series. One game is very important in a playoff series. I assume that's what you are saying.
