QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Feb 7, 2008 -> 12:12 PM) Put me down for league #2, Zoom. And no offense to Soxfan1, but there's a reason why he doesn't remember what league he was in. He usually quits after two weeks. Please, for the love of god, don't put him in league #2. Yeah, last year was rough for me. I had a lot going on with school and at home, and whenever I did get opportunities to check the team, I was pretty much decimated with injuries. My apologies for last seasons inactivity.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 12:07 PM) I buy 90% of my clothing at Old Navy. They seem to be the only place I can find 32-36 pants (I'm 6'3" and barely crack 155, hummingbird-like metabolism). They also have a nice selection of medium-tall shirts so that long sleeves don't stop before my wrists. Jeez, you must have extraordinarily long legs if you're 6'3 and have a 36 inch length.

My first official weigh-in will be this Tuesday.

Easy on the religion discussion here. This is about Fields, not about whether God is good or not.

Then put the following line into the edit field, and that will put PA's "Biggest Loser graphic into your sig. Below that in the same edit field you then just input your weight stats as plain text and then update the signature. It's easy once you try it. Or, copy this: [center][img=http://alexburdine.com/images//biggestlosersoxtalk.jpg][/center] [center][b]Soxtalk's Biggest Loser Club[/b] Start Weight (2/05): Current Weight (2/05): Goal Weight: lbs lost: lbs to go: [/center]

I suppose you can count me in, so hard to do this in college.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 6, 2008 -> 06:37 PM) Nope. But the all time great teams win their championship no matter what. If New England was THAT good they would have won on Sunday. If you want to sit here and tell me that the 85 Bears or 89 Niners or one of the 70's Steelers teams were the greatest ever, I'd say that's debatable and you could at least make a case for them. This years Pats though? Nope. They lost when it mattered, they aren't one of the greatest teams ever, don't care what anyone says. Then I'll simply agree to disagree. The best teams don't always win, thats just the way it is. EDIT: And I hate to defend the Pats so much, because I hate them, but you can't dismiss what they did because they didn't win 1 game. If the Super Bowl was a best of 3, 5, 7...NE wins.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 6, 2008 -> 06:24 PM) The Dolphins won the superbowl, NE didn't. I don't give a crap what NE did in the regular season, if they were THAT great they would have won the one that counted. Too bad. The best team doesn't always win. It's whoever gets hot at the right time. If the Pats/Giants played 10 times, who do you think would win most of the games? And regular season record has a lot to deal with it. Let's say, hypothetically, that 6-10 team or 7-9 got into the playoffs and won the Super Bowl...are they better than the team that went 18-1? The Super Bowl is and isn't the end-all, be-all. It is, in the sense that the last team standing is Champions, but it isn't in the case that the best TEAM doesn't always win. A quick example off the top of my head, this years Big Ten football results... Ohio State beat Michigan, but lost to Illinois, that lost to Michigan... The Pats beat the Giants in week 17, but lost to them in the final game. Would you say the Giants are a better team than the Patriots?

2007 Patriots > 1972 Dolphins Not only did the Dolphins have a shorter schedule, but the win % of their opponents was sub-.500. I'm not going to say the Patriots team is the best all-time, but they are a better TEAM than those Dolphins, and it's not even a question. They got out-coached (which is surprising for Belichick) and outplayed by the team who wanted it more. Patriots obviously didn't take the game seriously enough. See: Brady (We're only going to score 17?), Brady (cast on foot fiasco), Welker (I'm playing QB), Stallworth (I'm playing QB), etc.

Basically, I think the Suns kinda forced this deal following the Lakers addition of Gasol. Diaw vs Odom, Amare vs Gasol, Shaq vs Bynum. They match up really well now. Then obviously you have Fisher/Kobe with Nash/Bell.

Some classics.... Via Goldy:

I'm in, years of experience. I like head to head, roto is cool too. You pick. Go ahead and put me in the same league, I don't care (can't remember the #). I shall be commish if needed.

Is there a particular reason why the Illini get so many DC recruits? Mainly from Dunbar...

If Hawk wasn't the announcer for the Sox, I might be a Cubs fan right now. He and Frank Thomas was the main reasons I was drawn to the Sox as a kid, especially since the only other people in my immediate family that cared were/are Cubs fans. And although this may sound really cheesy, or just dumb reasoning, he's probably the main reason I'm in broadcasting. I'm glad to have Hawk for 4 more years, and I hope he stays longer after that.

Field of Dreams, Remember the Titans, Major League...

Shaq is a Sun... Report

The 2007 Patriots are still a better team than the 72 Dolphins anyway.

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 11:51 AM) The troops flat out don't give a f*** if a team wears camouflage or not. It's a dumb, empty gesture that makes the players look like idiots. QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 03:36 PM) How can they look like idiots if you can't see them? I lol'ed.

I don't think the question is which is the bigger problem, but which is funnier...

QUOTE(ChiSox_Sonix @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 10:49 AM) This isnt Euro soccer, but for those interested Ivory Coast, Egypt, Ghana and Cameroon have advanced to the semis in the 2008 African Cup of Nations. In the meantime, Samuel Eto'o (CMR) has broken the career goals record for the tournament and Malian forward Kanoute has been named African footballer of the year, beating out Eto'o and Didier Drogba for the honor Kanoute had a great 2006-2007 with Sevilla and has been great in the UEFA/African Cups as well, it's well deserved, and beating out Eto'o and Drogba is quite the accomplishment.

6'6, 225. Dec. 2006, I was at 199 and in great baseball shape. I'd love to get back down under 200 and be that lean pitching machine again. Unfortunately, eating right in college is kinda tough. I've been going to the gym pretty regularly of late, but haven't been eating to healthy...and alcohol doesn't help anything.

I just made an omelet with ham and some toast...white bread. Eggs via Meijer. Booya!
