Also want to kick an engineering student's ass too, along with steroid pumpin' kids I knew who were jerks in frats...glad I played dirty in intramurals! Oh and I forgot about the defensive coordinator from high school football my sophomore year. That guy had no dick. Wow.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 2, 2011 -> 02:30 AM) I can't believe the intelligent people on here think we are a lock to win anything and if we don't Ozzie should be canned. First of all it was a miracle winning as many games as the Sox did last year. Secondly, I could easily see this team sucking. Just because Dunn has been added and Crain? That doesn't mean s*** except we are returning to the days we had another major league hitter (Dye before the second half collapse in his final season here; Thome before he was let loose n signed by the Twins) in the lineup instead of the abysmal Kotsay and mediocre Jones duo. We have no proven closer. Our starting pitchers were good at times last year, horses*** at times. Peavy is a major question mark. Our third base and second base are question marks (as much as I love Gordon's potential). Paulie could easily drop in production after that great great season of his. We still have a powderpuff hitter in left who arguably is not a good leadoff hitter and has no arm. Rios is no superstar. In fact, despite his nice season, he still has much to prove. After bouncing back last year, does he feel he has anything to prove? Will he regress? AJ had an average season last year. Some might say until the last six weeks or so he sucked. He's not getting any younger. And this team has shown no ability to beat Minnesota and even dominate the lowly teams in the division. Just because we added Dunn and Crain we are locks to win the division? We are locks to dominate KC, Cleveland and Detroit when we haven't dominated them the past two seasons at all, just because of Crain and Dunn? I dunno about that. This team isn't a lock to win s*** and if it doesn't it isn't necessarily Ozzie's fault. That said, if I were Ozzie and thought I had enough money in the bank/investments, I would ask for an extension now in an ultimatum ploy. If he doesn't get one, he should resign. He can be a bench coach next year somewhere in the NL, then get a managing job again, likely in Florida. He's a fool to go into the year with a one-year deal; a fool. Managers with a WS title under their belt have more leverage than one year deals. As much as people think the White Sox should win it all every year, the reality is the city of Chicago has one WS title in the last 10,000 years. That title was with Ozzie at the helm. Ozzie's contractual situation will be a major distraction all season. How can it not be? Ozzie doesn't stifle on matters like this. With Ozzie's mouth, the reporters will be able to bait him so easily. If the Sox are winning early, they'll be asking him about the extension and doesn't he deserve one NOW; if the Sox are losing, they'll be asking about him about likely not getting an extension. He'll say his old s*** of, 'If they don't like Ozzie, fire him now!' It will be a HUGE mess with him unsigned past next year. Should be crazy to watch it all explode. p.s. After reading Rogers' article, it's pretty obvious Ozzie will be Florida's manager after next season. This isn't going to work with him on a one-year deal. No way. Not with his ego. There will be sooo many fireworks. Might as well get it over now. This post makes my head hurt. For every negative you post, the exact opposite could happen. And everyone needs to take into account the source of this article.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 11:04 AM) you must have had a horrible day yesterday It sure seemed that way, but after NFL stats went official, Percy Harvin had 2 receiving yards taken away, going from 71 to 69. I had originally lost 97-96, but check back in today and found it we tied at 96 in which case I won in a tie breaker because I was 11-3 in the regular season and he was 7-7. Fantasy league champion!

****Fantasy Football Alert**** Was in the fantasy football championship game yesterday against my roommate and thought I lost 97-96. After NFL stats went official today, Percy Harvin got 2 receiving yards deducted from him, making it 96-96 and I won on a tiebreaker. My roommate is devastated. I am ecstatic after having conceded defeat at the hands of Danny Amendola last night.

I know nobody cares, but I need to vent: 1 point. I just lost the fantasy football championship game by 1 point. Damn you Danny Amendola.

And one of these teams is supposed to make the playoffs?

Jonas Hiller absolutely astounding all night.

The Hawks can't do anything right right now.

Hawks desperately need to add a defenseman. Hendry and Cullimore on the ice together = ANA goal.

Illini playing pretty well vs Wisconsin. Up 10. McCamey is a stud.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 2, 2011 -> 07:14 PM) The good thing is that nobody came out of that game hurt. Cutler looked off today though. Major Wright, Chris Harris and Nick Roach all got hurt. Still too early to see how bad. QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 2, 2011 -> 07:19 PM) Martz's playcalling was garbage today. I thought he already learned that lesson? What he can and can't do? The O-line didn't just suddenly start being better. All of that was an illusion and I thought it was obvious even to casual fans. Agreed.

Meh.

I'm not even mad at Cutler and the line. Martz is a freaking idiot.

Seriously Martz, what the f*** are you doing?

Is Hester afraid to fair catch a ball?

Mike Martz in infuriating me right now.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 2, 2011 -> 06:31 PM) I don't think anyone believes that. From what I've seen in 2 games this year, the only major difference between either team is the secondary.

Might as well pull the starters now.

I want to inflict some sort of pain on Cutler, Martz and the O-Line right now.

Oh my goodness. Timeout costs the Bears a 1st down on 3rd and 15.

f***in a Martz. Short passes!!!!!!!! Cutler has to get rid of it.

That works too.

Put Hester back there to return it. HUGE stop by the D.

Ugh.

Packers will drive down in 6 or less plays here and score. Watch.
