I was really hoping the Hawks could try to swing a deal for Ondrej Pavelec, but he re-signed a while back. I've long advocated trading for Miikka Kiprusoff, but it seems like the Flames are trying to contend.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 6, 2012 -> 02:56 PM) Now that's interesting. He no trade listed the Hawks like a week ago. Kaplan's likely full of s*** and tweeting from the tanning bed. edit: slav, it was a joke, you don't need to fly to the honor of your boy Kaplan. Ok?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 6, 2012 -> 06:51 PM) Gonna be interesting to see how Federer handles the entire stadium rooting hard against him. On the other hand, the pressure on Murray to win will be enormous as well. More importantly, my girl Radwanska is gonna f*** Serena up tomorrow! Radwanska is sick as hell and is going to get wrecked by Serena, unfortunately. And the Djokovic loss was a bummer. That break in the 1st set for Federer was unlucky, and then blowing the break-point 4-4 in the 3rd set pretty much sealed it. He should have won that match. Oh well. Go Murray!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 5, 2012 -> 11:17 PM) I'm just going to rip the Hawks and give no reasoning. That's how that reads.

Sale this year, Price for beyond 2012.

Bill Melton - I could (and have) listen to him tell stories all day Mark Buehrle - Talk about hunting/fishing Jake Peavy - See above Gordon Beckham/Brian Anderson - Party time Jim Thome - Duh

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 5, 2012 -> 09:39 PM) Would of............ could of............... should of...............................2 years in a row 1st round exit for a very underachieving team last year. I've yet to see you present your master plan on how to make the Hawks a Stanley Cup winner.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 5, 2012 -> 07:54 PM) Conceivable? Yeah, botched that one.

Rockets could conceivably be paying Lin and Asik 25 million dollars in three years. Good luck with that.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 5, 2012 -> 04:00 PM) Oduya could of walked he did not bring anything to the table. First, you didn't answer the questions. Allowing Oduya to just walk accomplishes nothing. Second, that's absolutely silly. The Hawks might not have made the playoffs without Oduya. He was phenomenal down the stretch. It's amazing how people forget that the Hawks were the best team in the NHL before that nine game losing streak. And if not for some bad luck, would have been in the second round of the playoffs.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 5, 2012 -> 03:36 PM) Still not a good deal for Hawks. What exactly would you rather have them do? Let Oduya walk and overpay someone else instead?

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 5, 2012 -> 12:54 PM) Semin or Bouwmeester do not make the Hawks a better team. Meanwhile, the Hawks haven't improved on defense or in goal, either. Giving the turnover machine Oduya all the money they did was a Hjalmarsson-type mistake. Oduya would have gotten even more on the open market.

That was awesome. What an addition Youk has been!

Carle gets 6 yrs @ $5.5 mil per from the Lightning. Yikes. Money being tossed around this offseason.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 4, 2012 -> 08:42 PM) Swing the bat. Pathetic that he's looking for the walk there. Brilliant managing by Washington that inning. Let's not get carried away. It was common sense managing.

I f***ING LOVE YOU AJ PIERZYNSKI! BECKHAM!!!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 3, 2012 -> 11:20 PM) Sort of. Moved from Chicago to Seattle last fall but it was with my wife and baby. We really didn't know anyone out here though and it's not a quick drive to go back and visit family and friends. QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 3, 2012 -> 11:21 PM) Yep. Just take things one step at a time, and think of it as a chance to reinvent yourself..it's actually quite exciting if you think about it that way. QUOTE (G&T @ Jul 3, 2012 -> 11:35 PM) I moved to upstate NY for school alone. We just moved back to Wisconsin. People are people everywhere but the way of live changes. I find it fun. I'm not so much worried about the people as I'm very outgoing. The main concern is just being on my own, far away from help (family) without being at school. I'm incredibly excited with the potential options I have in front of me, they're just really huge decisions. I guess this is what I signed up for in being a broadcaster.

Anyone out there ever faced the possibility of relocating somewhere all by yourself? I've been applying to jobs all over the country, and the prospect of moving to a town in Wyoming or something is kind of intimidating.

I'll be reading a book very soon. The Art of Sportscasting.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 2, 2012 -> 04:32 PM) Deron Williams Dwight Howard Joe Johnson Gerald Wallace Makings of a pretty solid lineup? Johnson and Wallace arent' #1 options but they don't need to be, even if they're paid like it. They don't have the pieces or cap room to get Dwight anymore. And apparently they were going to make this move whether or not Deron Williams re-signed, which he has yet to do.

The Nets have agreed to acquire Joe Johnson contingent on Deron Williams re-signing. Makes no f***ing sense at all. Joe Johnson is supposed to make Williams want to stay? Really?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 2, 2012 -> 04:27 PM) Yeah, I just don't see the purpose of the press conference. He didn't call for it. The media just showed up to his agent's office and pretty much demanded he say something.
