QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 6, 2017 -> 07:37 AM) Bears open as 3 point favorites vs. Green Bay, the first time they are favored over them since December 2008 Hub said the other day, the Bears should be favored to win all their remaining games except 1.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Nov 6, 2017 -> 06:30 AM) But when you have nothing else to argue just say "liberals", point and giggle like a 12 year old and you win. That's how every other discussion on this site ends. Actually, what republicans say when they are in a pinch is Hillary Clinton. Supposedly that OK's treason. Jared forgot another contact with Russians on his security clearance form. He has forgotten just about every one, and even forgot he owned a company he was selling during the transition process. Must be too busy solving the opioid crisis, and bringing peace to the Middle East.

According to Trump, someone else with guns saved it from becoming worse. Guns save lives. Who knew? Second mass shooting in a couple of months. Still too soon to be talking about guns.

Now that he is coming off the bench, DWade calling out the Cavs starters. What a time to be alive.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 5, 2017 -> 04:59 PM) Doesn't change what I said. But their hiirning has nothing to do with the Obama administration. Or even Hillary

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 5, 2017 -> 04:38 PM) Side note - Flynn and Manafort were both put in these positions of influence during the last administration. Obama warned Trump about Flynn,. And when Trump fired him he said he was a fine man who did nothing wrong.

Mar a lago gets 70 visas to hire foreigners. Do as I say, not as I do.

So what Trump says about this mass murder in Texas will have to wait until the shooters ethicity is confirmed

Trumps approval ratings at historic lows. Sad.

Looks like the Hawkeyes are going to cover the spread.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 3, 2017 -> 09:14 AM) The quote from Hahn at the time of the surgery was 12 to 18 months. It's a procedural move. Whether they sign him to a minimal contract or offer him arb or let him go is the question. You can't hide guys on the 60 day DL during the offseason.

It's much easier to hide pitchers on a major league roster than position players. Especially if you are a rebuilding team and don't care too much if you lose. The Sox threw Covey out there enough to where he got enough work, and wouldn't suffer from not playing, even though you wonder exactly what they see in him. A guy like Adolpho would be overmatched and you basically would be giving up a developmental season to acquire him, I don't think he is worth the bother. He is a big maybe anyway. I doubt if it will come down to protecting him or not this year anyway. They should have room. Moving forward, there may be a crunch.

Trump now doesn't remember the March 31st meeting. Didn't he just tell us he has the greatest memory in the history of memories? He can remember it was long and unimportant but nothing else. I think the con man is going to hang himself. (Not literally)

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Nov 2, 2017 -> 08:25 PM) Just because they reinstated him doesn't mean he's going to stick through the offseason. I believe it's standard practice to reinstate players from the D.L. when the season officially comes to a close. I still wouldn't be surprised to see him non-tendered at some point. Yeah, there is no 60 day DL so no roster spot in the offseason.

Coffee boy wrote the ad.

Believe me. “Our framework includes our explicit commitment that tax reform will protect low-income and middle-income households,” Trump said. “Not the wealthy and well-connected. They can call me all they want; I’m doing the right thing.” He then added: “And it’s not good for me, believe me.” I'm thinking Maury would say, "That was a lie." The people who worked on the tax plan are getting the biggest benefit. Go figure.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 2, 2017 -> 09:20 AM) She will be given a job on CNN for her unique perspective into a presidential administration. I am hoping America will wise up and anyone complicit with the administration will be given the opportunities they deserve, which would be working at KFC. But with Spicey as an example, you have to figure that isn't going to happen.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 2, 2017 -> 08:26 AM) I think everyone here, Reddy and myself included, is condemning adults preying on 14 year olds. And if that is how you want to characterize Spacey,s behavior in this instance, as "preying," I am down with that. I think the point I am trying to make (and I think Reddy is with me), is that this type of behavior, when allowed to go unchecked, because of wealth, iinfluence, etc, tends to occur more often than in areas of society where those factors are absent. In my view, that isn't because these people tend to be any more "deviant" than the rest of us, but perhaps simply as a result of that behavior being more exempt from normal social and legal norms. There is no doubt it happens everywhere and it is wrong. It isn't something new, but it does appear that it being wrong is now more of a popular opinion. Anita Hill didn't get nearly the sympathy these other get and deserve. People have always known and joked about the "casting couch". I'm glad these people have been inspired and strengthened to come forward with these deeds. Expose these pricks. Hollywood is getting most of it, but it goes on everywhere else. A guy who bragged about it got elected POTUS. Kevin Spacey won't be able to play fake POTUS anymore, but the real one does the same sort of things. I hope this will spur change, but I can't help but wonder if this won't be something that will just fade away.

Spacey is a sick dude. This guy was 14, and if you google him, you will see photos of him as a 15 year old, there is no way he could be mistaken for someone of age. Kids do seem to skip growing up when they get in that business, but it's no excuse. What if he couldn't say no, couldn't get away? I don't know why a 14 year old would go to a party in Spacey's apartment alone. I don't know why he would even be invited. But whatever it was, it's just wrong. There are a lot more skeletons in Spacey's closet, but at least from what we know as of now, they at least were with adults. Who knows, another 14 year old might not have got away without Spacey getting what he apparently wanted.

What are you doing Wegner behind the plate.

Lies, lies,lies,lies....from CNN (Fake News) White Ho Press secretary Sarah Sanders said President Trump didn't call the US justice system a joke earlier today at his cabinet meeting. "He said the process has people calling us a joke and calling us a laughing stock," Sanders said. "Simply pointing out his frustration of how long that this process takes, how costly this process is. And particularly for someone to be a known terrorist, that process should move faster. That's the frustration he has." Here are President Trump's exact remarks: "That was a horrible event, and we have to stop it, and we have to stop it cold. We also have to come up with punishment that's far quicker and far greater than the punishment these animals are getting right now. They'll go through court for years. And at the end, they'll be -- who knows what happens." "We need quick justice and we need strong justice -- much quicker and much stronger than we have right now. Because what we have right now is a joke and it's a laughingstock. And no wonder so much of this stuff takes place. And I think I can speak for plenty of other countries, too, that are in the same situation."

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 1, 2017 -> 11:15 AM) The White Sox already turned down Kyle Schwarber. Doesn't really fit the the timeline. And they don't really have anything to acquire him that the Cubs would want anymore. The White Sox have plenty of guys the Cubs would want. The problem is the guys the Cubs would want aren't the guys the Sox would trade.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 1, 2017 -> 11:02 AM) Keith Pompey‏Verified account @PompeyOnSixers 17m17 minutes ago Jahlil Okafor confirms he asked for buyout. The freakiest thing about Okafor is he is still just 21 years old.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 1, 2017 -> 10:51 AM) Its super shocking that the president shows a total lack of leadership. Especially considering his greatness. No president, probably in any industry, as accomplished more in such a short period of time as Trump. He really is terrific.
