Do work Bart.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 11:47 PM) Just watch the whole thing. I want to see this. Now.

I'll say it now. Mark Buehrle is the most underrated pitcher in baseball.

NO-NO!!!!!!!!

Belfort has verbally agreed to fight Fedor.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 02:31 PM) ESPN needs a flexible schedule. Carpenter vs Oswalt should be televised instead of the Rangers/BoSox game. Interesting matchups over the Sawx or Yankmees? Never.

This Bulls are one move away from being a top 4 team in the East. Just f***in' do it. Another season of frustrating nights awaits us boys.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 09:19 AM) multiple websites are reporting Josh Barnett is out, or at least the match is in jeopardy, of the Aug. 1 Affliction fight against Fedor. (Edit: Attencio now confirming Barnett is out) mmaweekly aludes to a "positive test" and he can't get licensed in CA. Talk about Lashley taking the fight, but Lashley said he hasn't been training much since his last fight and isn't sure he would want it at this point. Belfort is the other name being thrown around. I mean, I guess, but he is eleven days out from a planned 185 cut. Also, it would make sense for his camp to somehow get Zuffa's feeling on it. If Zuffa says they don't care if he gets loses at HW, and they still want him at 185 after this event, then he should take it, but if they indicate they wouldn't want a part of him if he loses to Fedor, then it would make good sense for Belfort to turn it down. I imagine they can't "officially" talk to Zuffa, but there's ways. Tito is a name, but I'm not sure on the the status of his back, I think I remember hearing he wouldn't be available to the fall, and also from a business standpoint, 11 days notice to fight one of, if not the best P4P fighter on earth? Wouldn't make much sense and eleven days to promote it wouldn't bring a great return. Werdum is a reasonable. Overeem pulled out of his Aug. 15th fight with him on Strikeforce due to an injury, so it's realistic for him to be ready and sanctioned in 11 days For Affliction, this blows. My caring about this event just lowered about 70%. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 10:15 AM) I dont know if anyone noticed or cared, but Kimo Leopoldo was dead yesterday according to news reports, but today he is very much alive I saw & read, but knew something was fishy when no one could confirm it.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 10:33 PM) Hell if we can get Boozer WITH Hinrich involved, do it. I COULD understand the front office being hesitant to deal Tyrus which is understandable. Maybe a future star, potential off the charts, could bite them in the ass, yada, yada, yada. But Kirk f***ing Hinrich?!?! What kind of s*** is that? I love me some Tyrus as well, but I wouldn't shed 2 tears if he was traded tomorrow. I'd much rather keep an experienced guard who can defend his ass off. Unless he somehow improves that basketball IQ then he won't be a future star & it'll never bite the Bulls in the ass.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 03:14 PM) Yeah, that is pretty weak. Hendo definitely deserves a rematch. I guess we will have to see him go through Rich before that happens though. If Franklin somehow wins what is next for him? A fight against another 205er or a rematch with Silva where he gets murdered again? I think Franklin is staying at 205 no matter what. There's no interest in a Silva/Franklin III. I guess they could do it at 205? Or if Forrest & Rich both win, then they fight each other at the end of the year I'd assume.

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 06:36 PM) I'm sick of being looked at as "just a friend". This s*** its becoming ridiculous Ah, so you're the guy that they're talking about in the song. Anywho, I'm sure soon you'll get out of the "just friends" stage.

Dear Bulls Front Office, PLEASE pull the trigger on this. A move like this could mean a slightly longer playoff run next season. Unpatiently waiting, MHizzle85.

Don't f*** up Clayton. Let's take another one tonight.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 07:35 PM) I don't expect you to understand, as many people on this site have a little more "diverse" taste in music than I do. Some people want to see little-known bands because they've followed them for a while or whatever. I'd see these other bands IF they were just opening for a band I actually like, but that is no longer the case. I believe most people in general feel the same way I do. The people that discuss music on Soxtalk seem to be (and I only use this term because I can't really think of another word for it) more along the lines of music snobs. I don't mean to start an argument with anyone, but I wanted to vent. I understand where you're coming from but the number of people who buy tickets for just one band are outnumbered by people who are going just for the experience. That & they're looking to discover new music & just hang out for the most part.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 10:57 PM) Hendo/Franklin II at LHW main eventing 103 You can look at this in a couple of ways. 1. The UFC needed a main event for 103 & this is the best they could do. Or you could say that since the last fight could of gone either way that a definite win will do big things for the winner. Henderson/Silva II or Franklin being a major player at 205. You could also say that if Henderson were to lose, the winner of the Marquardt/Maia fight will be the #1 contender at 185.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 05:32 PM) It's embarrassing that more people hate the Cubs than any of our division rivals. You say that like you're surprised.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 11:27 PM) I would disagree about Bisping beating cans. I wouldn't call Leben, Red Schafer, Matt Hamill, etc. cans. Hendo is by far the toughest competition he's ever fought, and Hendo is the first top-level MW he's ever fought, but I don't think he lost that fight as much because he can't hang with higher-ranked fighters, I think he lost that fight because he approached it the same way he'd approach fighting Elvis Sinosic again or something. I think his ceiling is basically a poor man's Rich Franklin, which is a style Hendo is vulnerable to, and he'll reach that ceiling as long as he stops coming into fights with ridiculously bad gameplans. He seemed waaay overconfident pre-fight, and then rushed, uncoordinated, and totally mentally lost during the fight. And BTW I know Hendo is awesome, and I'm not trying to say he isn't, or that he isn't a better fighter than Bisping. Hendo is a much better fighter and Bisping will never have the type of career Hendo has had. I also feel that Hendo has a much better style for MMA. And I like Hendo too and was happy to see him KTFO Bisping. I just think people are underrating Bisping, and I think eventually Bisping - as long as he becomes humble enough to listen to his trainers - will beat more names that people have heard of and prove himself as one of those 2nd-tier guys. Agreed on Hendo being his toughest comp. but maybe cans were a bit harsh. Just low-tier guys then. Hell, I still think he lost the fight against Hamill. Will he get better? Sure. He's in a good enough camp. But until he starts beating guys who are in the top 15 at 185...he's still UFC hype to me.

Marijuana should be legalized & taxed. There's no way someone should be in jail longer for 1 gram of crack cocaine than someone who's in for 1 gram of straight cocaine. The pledge of allegiance doesn't need to be said before the school day starts. The DH should be in both the AL & NL. People place animals way too high in our society. Whenever a cop exercises excessive force, they should recieve the same excessive force.

5. Buehrle's Homer. 4. Dye & Konerko's 300th HR. 3. Pauly's 3 homer night. 2. Hawk & his Hell Yes calls. 1. Beckham's walk off against the Cubs

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 05:43 AM) God, I was hoping for an RKO or punt to Seth Green. Same. Decent Raw though.

QUOTE (AssHatSoxFan @ Jul 13, 2009 -> 12:26 PM) Teams have 7 days from when they receive the offer, not sure when they officially got it Friday. So I assume they have until the 17th.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 08:41 PM) and still think he's underrated (by the hardcores who say he sucks and is way overrated) Bisping is what we thought he was (to steal from Denny Green). He's a gatekeeper. His impressive wins have been over tomato cans. He'll be decent at 185, but I doubt he'll beat anyone thats in the top 10.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 06:58 PM) isnt there just one? Yep. I think he means that we're at the all-star break & who's gonna win MVP at the end of the season. Just my guess.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 02:26 PM) I love Lesnar. I cant stand that d-bag Mir. Mir talked a lot of crap about Lesnar since the day the first fight was signed. Mir was a broken man after last night and he knows he has nothing for Lesnar. Most MMA fans cant get over the fact that the best UFC heavyweight is a former WWE wrestler. I wish Lesnar would have talked even more s*** about Mir. Hendo is awesome. That post fight interview saying he knew Bisping was out but still wanted one more shot was great. Hopefully this will shut Bisping's mouth for good. I want to see a Silva/Henderson rematch now. Henderson is the only guy who is a threat to Silva at 185. I dont see how Belcher got robbed. I had Aki winning 29-28 but it could have also gone 29-28. Too close to call it a robbery but that one judge who had it 30-27 was smoking crack. GSP was dominant but is becoming boring IMO. Ever since Serra KOed it seems GSP fights very cautious. He seems to be getting the mentality to fight not to lose. Likes to get top position and just play safe. Also sounded like GSP is ducking Anderson when Rogan asked him about that and GSP replied with saying he wanted to stay at 170 because its so deep. HAHA, deep? Who is at 170? I hope it was a joke when Goldie was saying that the Kampmann/Swick winner is next in line. Fitch looked alright but it was a borefest. Maybe it had to do with no one caring since it came after the main event. Coleman baby! $$$$ I'd agree with you on GSP if all he did was lay on the guy like Sean Sherk used to do. GSP has a gameplan that works and until someone figures out how to beat him...he has no reason to stop using it. Forgot about the Coleman/Bonnar fight...so does Bonnar get walking papers soon or is he kept around because of the fight with Griffin.
