QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 27, 2011 -> 01:29 PM) Again, this isn't nearly as cut and dry as you're making it. There is a real chance that he could make more money by taking the buyout, and on top of that, he gets all the money up front. There is a better chance the new CBA could kill him looking for a new contract.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 27, 2011 -> 01:13 PM) It just seems silly to me that he would rather be miserable in Detroit with a coach he hates, and a team going nowhere as opposed to going somewhere else where he is still going to make a lot of money and participate in a playoff run. Going to the other team and taking the money hit and winning games seems to be a better option than staying and becoming known as a severe malcontent. You would think, but who knows. Rip could really need the money.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 08:28 PM) All this crap had pretty much died down until Jenks opened his yap again. STFUBJ Exactly.

QUOTE (SnB @ Feb 25, 2011 -> 04:27 PM) so you pretty much don't watch the white sox? I could absolutely get rid of cable if it weren't for sports.... Sox, Bulls, and Hawks are reasons 1-3 for my comcast.

Zeus is a god amongst gods.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 25, 2011 -> 04:24 PM) I wish I had watched at least one season with Simon now. The earliest seasons were the best, before it all became a formula.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 27, 2011 -> 03:10 AM) He's due $25 million for the next two seasons. The buyout would have been $16 million I think (I'm not sure on this figure, could be $9 million as well). The Bulls can give him $3 million to play for the rest of the year. So he would have lost $6 million. Plus, you have to consider that all of that is up front and not over a span of two years. So in other words if he wasn't worth $6 million to someone next year, he lost out.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 09:41 PM) Random question, but does anyone know if the Bulls drive or fly to Milwaukee for games? It's around an hour and a half from the Berto. I can't imagine a flight is that fast considering getting to the airport, etc. They bus it up there.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 06:13 PM) lmao pierre looks like he's screaming like a little girl Well to be fair, it looks like Gordo is looking to get in and pinch his ass.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 06:48 PM) This topic is so old and boring! Irony

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 04:48 PM) He's got his $12 million. Now he can tear apart Ozzie. And the Sox have their free agents. Now Ozzie can rip him.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 04:47 PM) Ugh. Looks like Rip doesn't care about winning anymore. If he did, he would have accepted the buyout and signed with a playoff team. He would have lost a couple million in the process, but you'd think players would want to be a part of a winning team instead of rotting in Detroit. Yeah, you know teams ready to make a NBA run want you, why would you rot in a crappy team and town like that?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 04:47 PM) If he starts creating problems in the White Sox's locker room by getting Ozzie and his players fueding with him and with himself, isn't that a good thing for him? As opposed to torpedoing Bobby's own career because everyone knows he is a drunk/insecure/baby/whateverelse?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 25, 2011 -> 11:23 PM) I gotta say: since July of last year all I've been hearing from the pundits of sports talk is that Jake Peavy won't be ready until midseason (if ever - B&B) and yet you've said since the very beginning it seems that Peavy could -- or will -- be ready by around the beginning of the season and as of right now it looks like you're right on. If he stays on schedule, this is a great call on your part. I guess actual expertise wins out over idol speculation. Ra? Ankh? Sorry I couldn't resist.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 25, 2011 -> 08:01 PM) I don't think you can use that as an argument. I think Peavy will recover, but Jenks was just fat, Peavy is coming back from an injury no pitcher has ever suffered. Its also been pretty clearly explained that people who put way more torque on their shoulders don't resuffer this injury unless their mechanics are bad. Once the surgery is done, there are no lasting effects.

If Bobby is going to continue to question the organization, he should be smart enough to realize that he is going to be questioned back. Not to mention, how many times does it take before Bobby Jenks finally shuts his own piehole?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 25, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) Welcome to 2002. Wife finally allowed us to quit it this year. Without Simon, I have no interest. We quit a few years back when it got to be the same show over and over every year.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Feb 25, 2011 -> 02:11 PM) He's already been traded from Atlanta to Montreal. Too bad. I miss his shotblocking.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 24, 2011 -> 08:24 PM) Thanks. For anyone who has made it to a 2nd round interview for an internship, do they tend to ask a lot of technical questions then? Or is that saved for job interviews? I've had a ton of 1st round interviews where no technical problems are asked and 1 other second round interview where they didn't ask basically anything. Honestly in an internship they assume you know nothing, and they will have to train you from scratch.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Feb 25, 2011 -> 07:09 AM) "If (Jerry Reinsdorf) gave me $30 million dollars right now, I’m not going to spend it on one guy. Sorry White Sox fans,” Williams said. “But I tell you what, I’m going to take that $30 million and I’m going to distribute it around. My team is going to be better as a whole than it is with one player who might get hurt. Then you’re done. Sorry, that’s just me." I love this. I'm down with Kenny on this.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 25, 2011 -> 12:55 PM) I have zero problem with lifetime protection for any past Presidents and VP's and their families. I think, considering the service they ALL gave to their country in the toughest job in government, that's a reasonable benefit. I thought I read that VPs only recently got that protection for life, maybe starting with Gore? Anyone?
