So wait a minute. Be out with a guy at a bar, rent a car in your name, kill guy not far from your house, leave car in area as well? I've never covered up a murder, but I don't know that this would be the way to do it.

Interesting look at the OT winner

f*** me silly. What a hockey game. 1st goal was absolutely awful, 4th goal was bad, outside that, other 3 are fine. Boychuck's wasn't as bad as 1st and 4th...it was a rocket and Oduya down makes it hard to pick that up...black pants as well. 3 game series. Here we go.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 05:14 PM) Beautiful. Go back further, can I see it sure, but it's 3-1 Hawks with an EN goal.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 04:06 PM) It's funny how our brains are the same. You're about due for a prediction-gone-right post ala the Wings series. Hurry the f*** up, we only have 3 hours left.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 01:24 PM) Wes Lunt sitting out a year may be too long to save Beckman's job. It may actually save his job with any little sign of improvement this year.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 03:55 PM) Can you guys really see the Hawks drop 3 straight? Tonight's game doesn't know what happened the past 2 games. Irrelevant. So can I see the Hawks losing one game tonight? Of course.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 02:01 PM) So we head back to what was dominating the LA Kings and should have never changed. In the shootaround. Bickell - Toews - Kane Sharp - Handzus - Mayers Hossa Saad - Shaw - Stalberg Kruger - Bolland - Frolik Those top 3 lines are just ridiculous. Hey there's a thought like I said yesterday, 19+88. Who knows if it works, but you MUST play them together. As has been talked about the past few days, we need more than just shots on Rask. They need to get traffic, they need to get shots that aren't just from the half-wall. I'd say get a power play goal too, but now I'm just being greedy. And stupid. But seriously, that would be great. 3-1 Hawks with an EN goal tonight? Please? Lose tonight and it's over. Save me the whole "they came back from 3-1 against Detroit, they can do it again!" crap. Boston isn't Detroit.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 10:49 AM) Mayers is skating in his place with Handzus & Sharp. That makes me think that Hossa will play tonight, because no way Mayers plays on that line. Unless Q is trying to pull a fast one on Julien again, ha. Agreed, though I'd feel better about the whole thing if he took the morning skate.

I think someone can be called to the carpet without being on the hot seat. If you want reasons the Hawks are trailing in this series, Q is as much to blame as anyone, IMO. It doesn't mean he's on a proverbial hot seat. *********** Hossa not on the ice for morning skate.

Since I'm mainly a college bball guy...if you call a TO in the NBA, doesn't it also move the ball up as well? How exactly does that work...or is it only off a make, etc? Regardless, shocked to see a TO available and none taken.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 18, 2013 -> 01:29 PM) His team's in the Stanley Cup Final for the 2nd time in 4 playoffs. He's free of heat for a bit. We don't disagree much, but I disagree with you here. Q is far from a free pass at this point just because they are in the final. Knowing there was a good chance Hossa may not play, and not even having Smith take the warm up (while Mayers did) is completely inexcusable. That's just awful. Kane comes out of his slump against the Kings while reunited with Toews. What happens? Splits them up against Boston (something you even said would be stupid when the lines were introduced in practice before game 1). And neither guy has played too well. Haven't scored a goal in what, 6 periods worth? Here's an idea...88+19. Hossa out last night, puts Toews with Kruger and Frolik? WTF was that? Power play is garbage. Yes it's Kompon's job, in theory, but Q's the head coach, and they are 0 for their last 84. Plays Bollig, his f***up leads to a GWG. ***** I'm not blaming everything on him, but there's plenty to take issue with here.

http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/quiz/_/id/...w-mlb-rules#top I got 100%...but I should seeing as how I'm an umpire. Some pretty good questions in there.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 12:28 PM) Maybe we win a game in conference next year? QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 12:47 PM) He has to sit out a year right? Wonder how this makes Bailey feel. I bet he was given the same pitch about turning the program around. Yeah, he does. I'm wondering if Bailey turns into a WR now. Who knows. I feel much more comfortable with Lunt tossing passes than Bailey, someone who didn't throw much in HS. He's a playmaker, but not quite sure if he'll be a good QB.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 12:06 PM) Wes Lunt commits to Illinois. Between Lunt and Bailey Illinois actually is going to have a ton of talent at QB. Just need to work on basically every other position now. Holy f***, that's huge. I'm shocked we actually got him. Wow.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 16, 2013 -> 11:51 PM) Why would I want to waste time doing this on a site that doesn't give the team it's own thread. There's a Cubs thread but no BH thread. Unbelievable unless we are devoting threads to perpetual losers. The Hawks don't qualify while the Sox and Cubs do. What? I can only hope this is the last post you make in the "NHL thread"

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 15, 2013 -> 03:36 PM) I'm rock hard thinking about Stanley Cup Final hockey tonight. Game was yesterday, dumb f***. You didn't have the channel anyway.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 03:48 PM) Lyle down to Florida, Indiana, Louisville and Tennessee

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 04:13 PM) It's high time for me to ditch my Havlat sweater, any suggestions on buying a new one? I know which player I want, but I don't know if I really need to get the EDGE BS for $250, if I'm okay with the premier at about $150, or if there is something else I should know. Seems like everyone sells for same price, etc If you can afford the Edge, or can wait longer to save up for it, do it. The difference between a replica and an authentic didn't use to be so large, now it is. The replicas look like absolute garbage compared to the real ones. If you're going to drop $ on a jersey, may as well not have it look like garbage. It sucks Reebok did this, but that's the reality of the situation.

Air hockey robot. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-dad...-163448153.html

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 12:10 PM) It sucks that tonight's game is on an exclusive channel. I'd prefer NBC not to be given another contract for the Stanley. An awesome sport that could use some more fans should not be on a premier package. It's on a very, very exclusive channel. In fact, I'll bet you a hefty sum of money you won't find it. Also, go re-read the past 10 pages of the thread because we're not going through this again.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 12:04 PM) Hey. Your PM inbox is full, idiot. How can I reply to you making fun of moron posters if your PM inbox is full. It's full because you've PM'd me too much. I blame you. Also, /reported.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 11:41 AM) Most "sports fans" are idiots. True.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 11:32 AM) I went to a Bears game in NOLA a few years back. The Saints fans could not have been nicer. But when talking about Bears fans, many of them had quite the negative opinion, because when they made the trip up for the NFC title game, there was nothing but jokes and insults about Katrina. Somehow I'm not surprised. Most "Bears fans" are idiots.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Jun 14, 2013 -> 10:55 AM) While it surely isn't the smartest thing to do, I think people are reading too much into it. It's all about the sports teams. I don't believe they are making light of what happened in Boston. Boston brought the sports teams into it first, for charity understandably. I just think there is too much media-driven faux outrage. While I wouldn't buy one, I don't think the people who do are terrorist sympathizers. Except by making the t-shirt, they are. I get it - Boston can, but shouldn't, use it as a rallying cry (but watching their playoff games, I haven't really seen it used that way). Even so, Chicago can't try to combat it and say "it's only about sports." Everyone knows where Boston Strong came from. It's terrible taste, terrible decision, end of story. Any "Hawks fan" I see wearing that shirt is a f***ing idiot. And should go to Toronto to hang out with the other idiot.
