QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 03:19 PM) Ya, it was. I remember as well cause it was my freshman year and I was back home from school so it had to be the week of. It was the Tuesday or Wednesday night before Thanksgiving IIRC. I was driving up to the U.P. for a hunting trip when my sister called me and told me.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 10:50 AM) If it's true we offered him that amount, then I have to thank the Tigers!! I keep saying Tigers are going to be huge players for the top FAs, and this seems to solidify it if true. Toot, toot.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 12:44 AM) Actually, it's been a lousy time of it for me. I'm not done yet. Have it by 11am tomorrow if possible. The list may drag into December at the rate I'm going... Sent.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 12:39 AM) We'll forgive you as long as you slam each beer on the list as each is announced. Hell, I'll slam 2 or 3 if necessary.

So it's too late to send mine? Kinda upset I missed this.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 12:10 AM) An outstanding beer. Newkie (aka, "Scottish Nose Polish") came in at #14 on my list. Thought I might add, my buddy just brewed our 1st batch of homemade beer ever. Chose an octoberfest lager, came out really great. Very dark and flavorful. Also, I'd definitely love to see this list!

Might have a new favorite beer: Newcastle Brown Ale.

Darko Milicic.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Nov 22, 2010 -> 04:26 PM) I stand correct. Deng is the 4th hardest contract in the NBA to move. Seriously, not even close. Come on.

Too bad they aren't real. Couple things (and just to preface, I'm a huge fan of these jerseys in general): The Cardinals tops are TOO sweet. The Chiefs first one looks like Florida State but that 2nd helmet is incredible awesome. I like the Bears one, but I don't like the plain helmet and I agree they are the Bronco's uni with Bears font. Bengals tops are sick but everything else is bad. Texans look like the current Cardinals. The Eagles ones are the best. The bad: Jaguars, Bengals, Steelers, Vikings, Patriots, Dolphins, Panthers The good: Falcons, Eagles, Titans, Seahawks, Saints, Jets, Rams

I'm going to try and update this as best as I can...

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Nov 21, 2010 -> 05:14 PM) Jon Kitna scored a touchdown on a 29 yard bootleg. Never thought I would type that. Looks like Garrett's got the job for next year if we keep playing this hard for the rest of the year. As long as they keep getting the ball into Dez Bryant's hands, I'm happy. Always been a fan. He's ridiculously talented.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 02:53 AM) I don't have a clue where you even begin with drawing up a defense to defend Vick. We always played well against him in the past, but that was before he was developed as a QB as he is now. I honestly just hope the guy has an off game. The Colts managed to keep him in check a bit, so it can be done. But if he plays like he did against Washington, honestly, we're screwed. The good thing is we won tonight. I think we need to come out of the next 6 games with 3 wins to win the division: Best chances for wins are Detroit and Minnesota, then just go 1-3 against Philly/New England/NYJ/Green Bay. Probably our best chance there is against NYJ. If the Packers have a weakness, it's that O-Line and their running game, plus Driver has been hurt. We play good D and put pressure on Rodgers, we can win that game. But ya, either way, go 3-3 the rest of the way or better and we're probably going to the playoffs.

I'll add my own pull-over story. My buddy and I were driving back from a round of 18 (golf, not drinks ) earlier this year on a Tuesday evening. The place is probably 7-8 miles from our apartment, but it's right down a main road where the speed limit is 55. It's literally turn out of the apartment complex, 1/4 mile down the road, turn right on the main road, go 7-8 miles, and left onto the golf course. Anyway, as we're on our way back, it's just about to get dark, we were hungry, so we stopped at the Burger King on that road leading to our complex. As were sitting inside, both completely sober, didn't drink a thing, we notice a cop sitting in the very far corner of the parking lot, in the dark, next to this small strip mall. So as we pull out of the parking lot, I look over to the cop car and just as were turning he hauls ass behind us. I noticed he moved but after we turned I could't see him. So a second later I look in the rear view mirror and I see him shoot out of the lot, turn onto the road and haul ass behind us like a bat out of hell. Speed limit is 55 on this road too, we were going 35 when he caught up and pulled us over, literally 15 feet in front of the apartment complex entrance. He's got his lights flashing and he walks up to the car and flashes his light right into our eyes. So he asks where we're coming from, OBVIOUSLY knowing we came from Burger King. Then he asks us where we were before that and we said golfing. Then he turned into even more of a cock. He asks us multiple times if we'd been drinking on the course and we said no, because we didn't. My buddy who was driving was 21, I was 20 but we were both completely sober. Then I chime in and ask why exactly he pulled us over. He goes on to say that someone called in earlier saying there was an SUV driving recklessly on Lake Michigan Drive (the main road). We knew it was bulls*** because we were in Burger King bulls***ting for 45 minutes after we ate. We left the course with daylight and got pulled over when it was dark. And we obviously saw him sitting in the parking lot the whole time. So he takes my buddy's license and walks towards his car. Out of nowhere, a lady cop comes out and comes to the passenger side, staring me down, shining a light in my eye, and looking through all the windows and such. We obviously have two totally visible golf bags sitting in the back. She never said a word. So the asshole walks back, stops at the back of the truck, looks into the back with the light, and comes up to the window. He looks and my buddy and says, and I quote, "Want to step out of the car for me big guy?". He asked him 2 more times if he had been drinking, and then gives him the "So if you were to take the Breathalyzer right now it'd say all zero's?" By buddy said yes, and then was forced to do a field sobriety test AND a Breathalyzer. He obviously passed both and blew 0's and finally they let us go. I was ridiculously pissed and I wasn't even driving.

QUOTE (hitlesswonder @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 01:12 AM) I think UI is very likely to underperform their talent level and have a disappointing year. Maybe even miss the tournament. But I don't think they played that poorly tonight. To me, Texas looked very athletic and played with effort on defense and hitting the boards. Rebounding was even for the game I believe, so I don't know that UI was soft on the boards. Really, if you want to look for one reason UI lost it's that they shot 38.4 percent...with Richardson and Paul especially needing to shoot better. It's definitely possible, but I don't think it's very likely at all.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 12:54 AM) Urlacher, IMO, always plays best against mobile QBs. It's the deep pass that has me most concerned. That's what I'm saying though. If they're drawing Urlacher out on deep routes and we can't get pressure, Vick can run for days or find the receiver who eventually gets open. He can pick you apart either way.

Man, Illinois is probably going to be frustrating to watch again this year if they play like they did tonight. So much talent but so many poor decisions. I didn't watch the entire game, but they are so soft down low on defense and on the boards. It's frustrating to see smaller guys grab boards at will against them. Richmond is going to be a hell of a player. He just looks like he know's he's awesome. McCamey was feeling it. Hopefully he strings games like that together. Richardson and Paul have so much potential but just make bad decisions. If they can get tougher, they can be a really really good team. And I'm not a big Davis fan either. He just doesn't ever look like he's putting forth 100% effort. Should be much better than he is.

The Bears played great as a whole. Best they've looked this year as a team. It's nice to be sitting at 7-3. Refreshing to see some effective runs and an efficient Cutler. Those 3rd down conversion are huge. And as dominant as the D was, I have no faith in them against Vick. With LB's dropping back in coverage and Maclin/Jackson running deep routes, Vick will have insane amounts of room to run. Marinelli and Lovie have their work cut out for them. Bears are going to need to put pressure on Vick quickly with the front 4 in order to have any success.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 07:33 PM) Has anyone else seen this new Kane & Toews commercial for the Dell Streak? Wow, play on players. Umm....whaaa?

Some of the things people complain about in this thread are unreal.

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 01:08 PM) white sox talking to matsui per heyman He also mentioned they want to add 2 lefty bats.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 04:28 PM) Seriously, unless Jim Thome comes up to you right now and says that he is willing to play for $1.5-2 mill again, $5.5 mill plus incentives for one year of Manny Ramirez is absolutely worth it. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 04:29 PM) like Love.

Memphis can't shoot from the outside or from the free throw line. They look like a team made entirely of combo guards.

The Road was a great movie but horribly depressing. Definitely gets you thinking though. Highly recommended. Great acting all around.

I like Stalberg. HUGE win for the Hawks tonight. They needed it.
