QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 03:31 PM) Interesting point brought up by Boers and Bernsie that I had COMPLETELY forgot about. The Chicgao bid failure may have NOTHING to do with their presentation, or over all bid, or the presence of Obama... there is a BIG fight going on right now between the USOC and IOC over revenue sharing and a USOC run Olympic TV network. Not giving Chicago the bid could be seen as a giant F-you and middle finger to the USOC. More info here: You gotta love the IOC... they want our money, but they don't want us. Hopefully the USOC doesn't give them a damned penny.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 04:09 PM) I never said they were cheap that is your assumption, I only said KW in his 50 cent comment is BS based on all streams of revenue! So what in the heck are you saying? If they are spending the money they are taking in, why would you be freaking out about one of their revenue streams. That makes zero sense.

STFU

ORLY?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 02:54 PM) Make sure that is the case, because there are two versions of Love Me Do in teh set - the LP and the single. Yup 001 was there twice.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 02:46 PM) Where'd you come up with an extra song?!? The EMI collection only has 217 songs. And you are quite welcome. Bah, I doubled the first song when I pasted them over somehow on the new computer

Man, the supply of nerds in this thread certainly outpaces the demand for them...

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 02:32 PM) I enjoyed Independance Day for what it was. I hated Godzilla and despised The Day After Tomorrow. I will not be seeing this. Talk about one of the worst movies of all time...

On a side note, I broke out the Beatles 218, because that always makes me feel better... Thanks again for that Flaxx!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 02:38 PM) I'm sure you remember how in 2005 New York's 2012 bid was defeated and the Democrats stood up and cheered. No one had any delusions of NYC winning after their stadium plan fell through to be fair. They also didn't have Bush involved in it.

Icky.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 02:15 PM) The new guy that Perry put in charge of that committee/investigation hadn't even heard of the position until it was offered to him. And he's considered one of the most conservative, hard-line prosecutors in Texas. I know it's Republican politics, but I really hope Hutchinson makes an issue of this. It's just inhuman. If you substitute Daley for Perry, it sounds pretty much like Chicago.

Way to waste a point Huet. We get 50 shots in regulation, and lose.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 01:28 PM) Huet is so f***ing bad up high. Ugh, this is going to kill the Hawks all season. Its pretty bad when your hometown announcer is slamming your starter on opening day.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 01:17 PM) Little surprised in all the Peavy love he didn't mention Clayton Richard ihas a 1.88 ERA over his last four starts, held the Dodgers to one hit over seven innings in his last start and has allowed 15 hits in his last 24 innings. Richard is 5-2 with a 4.08 ERA and the Padres are 9-3 in his starts. That deal couldn't have been made w/out including Richard? Yes I love Peavy. Yes I'm a Richard fan. Yes I realize 10 posters are now going to shrug off Richard as a prospect because he put up these numbers "in the National League." Take a look at Richard's home and road numbers, and you can see why people aren't jumping on Clayton that hard.

The Hawks should be blowing Florida away, Vokoun has been just awesome.

QUOTE (T R U @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 12:49 PM) Because this says NFL thread and not Bears thread? Because you guys already made a Bears board? Yeah, and ignore the obvious that 90% of people here are Bears fans and hate Green Bay. Would you have the same sympathy if he cried about people being mean to the Cubs? I kinda doubt it.

Vokoun needs to let Kane out of the cab, because he just robbed him.

Good ol' Ritchie.... http://chetchitchat.wordpress.com/

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 12:23 PM) I do post on a Packers board, but thanks for trying Then why the hell are you looking for sympathy on what is essentially a Bears board?

I see those years of working with Kotex boy are working out well for Kotex Jr.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 12:13 PM) My theory on the reasons for the elimination, in order of scale (not saying I agree with them, BTW): --Generalized anti-American sentiment in many parts of the world --Weak internal support in Chicago (better than Tokyo's, but well under Rio and Madrid) --Rio's strong need and strong passion for the bid --Bad final presentation that had no focus, no passion, no REASONS why they wanted the games --Concerns over US security and visa issues due to new regulations --Concerns over Chicago's financials (I think this got addressed as time went on, not so much a big deal) --Brevity of Obama's visit I heard that last idea used as a potential reason, and if that is true, that is one more load of s*** on top of the crap pile. What a bunch of arrogant jackasses the IOC is if they are upset that the President of the United States only made one day for them.

And back tied at one...

Unbelievable. Your hate of Hawaiians takes this thread to a new low.

Hawks and Panthers scoreless after one.
