But it is blank

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 16, 2015 -> 10:01 AM) It was kind of funny to see Jim Carrey on the stage at the end of SNL 40, considering he never made it to a castmember, and was actually an In Living Color cast member I honestly think it was In Living Color that pushed the great revival we saw of SNL in the 90's.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Feb 16, 2015 -> 11:58 PM) Looking to purchase my first brand new car. I wasn't going brand new initially, but after some research, a used model is only ~5k less. Been reading lots of reviews, articles on new car shopping/negotiating, noting down things such as invoice prices, average price paid, etc. Anyone want to share any effective tips used when negotiating that really worked well for you? Every dealer will try to negotiate with you through payments per month, and try to hide the terms for the pieces of the deal from you. If you can have financing arranged ahead of time on your own, do it. After that, the rest is just information, knowledge, and being willing to walk away.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Feb 15, 2015 -> 09:14 PM) Hakeem was a monster in the post. He had a ton of moves down low. The dreamshake was one of the most nasty post moves in the history of the NBA>

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Feb 15, 2015 -> 08:35 PM) I remembered back in 2009-10 I said Rose could learn a thing or two from Westbrook and I was toast by pretty much everyone on this board. But that was back in the days when Rose could do no wrong in the eyes of everyone in Chicago. Because obviously you knew that Rose was going to miss around 3 years of basketball with two catastrophic injuries.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 15, 2015 -> 07:36 PM) Hakeem is one of the top 10-12 players ever. And you underestimate how athletic he was in his youth/peak. He grew up as a much shorter soccer player. He didn't pick up a basketball until he was 14 after he had a massive growth spurt. His footwork was some of the most amazing skill I have ever seen in the NBA. Historically NBA centers have either operated to brute force, such as a Shaq or Dwight, or a unblockable shot, such as the Kareem sky hook. I don't know that I have ever seen anyone own the post the way Olajuwon did. The Dream is my all time favorite player in the NBA.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 07:35 AM) What people initially took as Ozzie's "genuis", the taking all the media pressure off the players and on to himself, was eventually shown to be nothing more than Ozzie's constant need of attention. He was a good manager at the beginning. He was bad at the end in Chicago, and horrific in Miami. If he could shrink his head some and just get back to baseball and not all about Ozzie, he can be good again. I always thought he probably could. He has been saying the correct things in the media the last year or so. But after sitting behind Oney and Ozney at a game last year, and realizing how they all influence each other, and watching those clowns openly root against the White Sox, I don't think any good could come of Ozzie being a paid White Sox employee anymore. That sounds about right to me if you mix in a little bit of believing his own press.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Feb 16, 2015 -> 08:50 AM) I don't see Robin as an icon at all. I'd look at: Ozzie right away. Takes all the pressure of the media upon himself instead of the media hounding the players. The big difference between Ozzie and Robin is ego. Everything flows through that. Robin also never throws his own players under the bus, and keeps all of the team issues in the locker room. We never know about all of the type of stuff that Ozzie, or his kids, would run to Joe Cowley about.

QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 16, 2015 -> 01:35 PM) thanks for that info, but i am wondering, if he signs in july 20, will the team be penalize next yr in ref to int'l signing? June 15 is the cutoff. After that they have to wait until July 2, and they are included in the next set of caps.

Why is it disappointing?

It isn't on there.

Oh that wouldn't be good for my liver.

Losers

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 15, 2015 -> 10:50 AM) All but the Cubs have had opportunities to move. Imagine a suburban sprawling complex with two or three stadiums, a huge entertainment district . . . It will never happen You'd have to move counties worth of distance out of the city to get enough land to have a full complex.

Good

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 15, 2015 -> 09:26 AM) I was thinking about Phoenix and how they have been able to position their sports stadiums near great entertainment areas, have them reasonable grouped, and just a great place to attend events. It's too bad Chicago never developed that way. Chicago is an old city. The city layout was done centuries before professional sports became a thing.

Excitedly.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 15, 2015 -> 09:36 AM) Hawk has a big ego, but I don't think he is hanging around until he is admitted into the HoF. I think he is just doing something he has done his whole life. Stone has a big ego too but it doesn't bother me Hawk hangs around because he loves the game of baseball. To me that is completely obvious. It really is his life.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 14, 2015 -> 08:39 PM) I don't think he gives two s***s about the hof...I think he's just enjoying himself, especially since he probably can't play as much golf anymore. I agree. I can not literally think of one time he has referred to any conversation about himself and the Hall of Fame. Every time the Ford Frick comes up, he never talks about it.

XXX movies was his topic of choice.

Nothing quite as fun as a Blizzard warning and State of Emergency on Valentines Day.

Uh huh.

Really early Mr Jinx.

NO HE DIDN"T
