2017-2018 NFL Thread
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 28, 2017 -> 07:37 PM) Arlington Heights native Jimmy Garropolo to start vs Bears on Sunday. I'll be in attendance, since my tickets are worthless and my friend who likes to drink and knows nothing about football wants to go. Perfect type of game to take him to. Fox is gone no matter what, but home losses to the 49ers or Browns would be the ultimate stain on his legacy. Personally, I'd love it. Get that top pick as far as I am concerned.

Shohei Otani is likely coming to the USA
QUOTE (Real @ Nov 29, 2017 -> 04:43 AM) So can the Sox sign him to a multi-year deal? I know they can only spend up to 300k on him when they sign him, but that's one year. How would a multi-year deal work? Can you spread an international contract out past your money cap of 300k? Assuming they can, it would have to look something like, 4 years 70 million year 1 300,000 year 2 21,700,000 year 3 23,000,000 year 4 25,000,000 I have no idea how much money he's going to get, so don't put any stock into the 70 million Sure, if they want to get destroyed like the Braves did.

And we are supposed to trust your eye test over stats?

The Avi Thread
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 28, 2017 -> 04:24 PM) The Sox signed Albert Belle to the largest contract ever at the time. The Sox offered A-Rod a huge deal back in the day, rumored to be like 10/$190M. They recently offered Tanaka a massive deal as well. You're fooling yourself if you don't believe the Sox will pursue the truly elite free agents next year when they have like $2M in guaranteed payroll. Whether they can convince one of these guys to take their money remains to be seen, but I have no doubt Reinsdorf will ok an aggressive offseason plan. The problem isn't with the Sox making offers, it is with them making the largest offer. As for the Albert Belle example, Eloy Jimenez was 7 days old when it happened. They haven't really shown a propensity to set the market for top level players for 21 years now. They have been #2 a lot of times. #1, not so much.

2017 Democratic Thread
QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 28, 2017 -> 11:33 AM) Remember when we were talking about how amazing it is that Rahm can still clear the field with his low approval? With Rep Guitierrez dropping out of his re-election bid, Chuy Garcia plans to run for that seat. Between 50 years of Daley's and Rahm, Chicago deserves what it gets.

President Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 28, 2017 -> 10:18 AM) At least according to 1491 and the National Museum of the American Indian, American Indian is generally the preferred collective term among actual indigenous people in the US, so not really. When the targeted group doesn't think "American Indian" is derogatory or a slur, but does find Trump's use of "Pocahontas" to be so, it's kinda hard to argue that it's in no way racial and actually has "comedic value." It might be "accepted", but that doesn't change what it is, or the history behind it. We spent centuries referring to black people in the country by the N word, and they accepted it. Didn't change anything behind the word at all.

President Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 27, 2017 -> 06:01 PM) Actual Indians also take it as an insulting racial slur Then again Indians is really a racial slur as it is a western construct based on faulty history and the dismantling of the natives established nations and tribes in a very successful effort to dehumanize them.
