MLB free agent predictions: Where will Zack Greinke sign?
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 01:09 PM) Historically when Theo has money, he throws around money. I am not certain he has six figure contract money and they need to figure out where Arrieta lands for them next year.

He should sue her for the EA Sports lost wages if there really was no case at all to be made.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 09:29 AM) And still in the court of public opinion he will stay be viewed as guilty by a large percentage of the population for the rest of his life. I think it is a non-story in about six months.

White Sox decline option on Alexei Ramirez
If it is to save money and let him go, bad move If it is to resign at 2 years $14M I'm ok If it is to let him go because they want to go in a different direction via a targeted trade or free agency I am ok as well

Fox Lake Cop shot and killed
QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 02:25 PM) You almost get the feeling that someone just felt like playing army because they could. This kind of response wasn't warranted even if there were 3 suspects. I think the overreaction was due in part to the Texas shooting of the cop which I thought was just days prior.

OBAMA/TRUMPCARE MEGATHREAD
QUOTE (Cknolls @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 09:24 AM) Can i ask what happens to everyone on a PPO PLus plan now, who, due to Cadillac tax, will no longer have that plan available to them, and will no longer have their hospitals and doctors anymore? I'll let you know as we are heading that way. $250,000 fine Our health plan is collectively bargained and by forcing the union to give up their Cadillac plan, the cost will come from somewhere. Also our rates have gone up an average of 8% a year for the last six years.

Official High School Football Thread!!!
QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 05:07 PM) I've coached against HF for years. Scouted them multiple times this year. I'm taking them. I may be wrong but I can't pick against that team. Loyola is really, really good. They don't have that type of team speed though. HF is a monster. Home team wins that game. Loyola is a tough place to play, not sure why but they are crazy good at home and get beat on the road.

2015-16 NCAA Football Thread
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 12:03 PM) but, why? He's not getting drafted in the NFL and he's most likely playing again in one week or two as well as starting the next season or two. I am sure he will not but I was curious if he could do that.

2015-16 NCAA Football Thread
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 11:58 AM) So you are saying he should declare or transfer right now instead of waiting one game until he can play again? The whole punishment is kind of pointless. He could do both of those things though couldn't he?

2015-16 NCAA Football Thread
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 11:44 AM) Huh? If he declares for the draft what does he lose? He is a red shirt sophomore. Meyer also said he could earn it back which I assume is no great feat to accomplish. Can he also transfer and not have to sit out?

2015-16 NCAA Football Thread
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 11:48 AM) Checking, I believe its the room and board, food stipend for the summer which is during the term. Oh and they all attend summer school, its the only way to make up the credits to graduate on time. These guys dont take 22 hours during the season. unrelated: I took summer classes every year, it was my favorite time of the year. Or he can choose to not attend summer classes and lose nothing.

2015-16 NCAA Football Thread
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 11:02 AM) Yes. If its only for a semester its about 14k, if its for year its almost 30. Yikes. Plus the fees and court costs and lawyer fees. Expensive mistake. s*** with books and everything else a year is over 40k? f*** So if he declares for the NFL draft there is no further punishment other than the one game suspension as I assume whenever a player declares they lose their scholarship anyway. He can also earn it back....whatever that means.

Styx opening for Def Leppard?
QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 10:26 AM) Didnt they come out with a new album in the past year? Im sure that would change the set list a bit http://www.setlist.fm/stats/def-leppard-7b....html?year=2015 On very few occasions. They have an 18 song set and they play essentially 16 of the same songs every night and rotate a couple others. In previous years it was the same thing. I was going to go to Loopfest and then looked at the set list and was not interested.

(Insert Celeb Here) is Dead
QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Oct 31, 2015 -> 06:49 AM) ‘Happy Days’ Star Al Molinaro Dies at 96 Al Molinaro, who played the beloved chef on “Happy Days,” died on Thursday. He was 96. Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Molinaro also appeared in “The Odd Couple,” “Punky Brewster” and “Step by Step.” Didn't Al steal the diner from Mr Miyagi. So Happy Days was on when I was like seven. I still think the show is from the 50's and the fact that Ms Cunningham is not 105 years old in real life confuses me.

Styx opening for Def Leppard?
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 09:23 AM) Oh hell I'm older than you and almost everyone on this board I'm guessing, which is why I felt comfortable poking fun at Tex. I remember fondly my Def Leppard cassette tapes and, yes, I had Styx on vinal. It's vinyl Paradise theater double album was "The Best of Times" That same show was the Loopfest lineup this year. I don't think the Def Leppard set list has changed in 15 years.

2015 TV Thread
QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 08:20 AM) It just didnt deserve an hour and a half, it could have been edited down and I would have been ok with it. I thought it was pretty good and moved along at a decent enough clip and developed why he is who he is and why he does what he does.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Oct 27, 2015 -> 09:34 AM) That situation sucked but I'm not real sure how you figure the refs are to blame. Was that called penalty? I did not see the game but saw the highlight. That has always been something I never understood. That is an easy way to bail yourself out.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 26, 2015 -> 01:11 PM) Oh...Im' not saying the show has jumped the shark at all. I think I said I'm enjoying this season more then last season and how it has been total must watch TV in my eyes. This season has been awesome...I'd say the best first 3 episodes of any season thus far. I did not mean anyone on this site it wa the internet folks that believe there is grander purpose to everything than simple kick ass entertainment which is what TWD has been this season.
