Let's just hope he took the Horry Kow shirts in the lighthearted fashion they were meant to be.

What if Tad Iguchi really liked it here and it is something appeals to Tanaka? Chicago in some regards is a better option to Seattle, LA and NY in that it is a big market and gives you all the amenities without the over the top media coverage.

Seems like a cubs propaganda piece to pump up artificial hype.....would go a log way in moving the White Sox back into the thick of things....... What if this cat only wants a four year deal in order to free agency at 29.......... Color me curious that is for certain. White Sox called me yesterday to talk about renewing my partial season package.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 12:02 AM) That FSU made adjustments by bringing out the towels in the 2nd half, and that Winston and the FSU offense dominated when the opponent didn't know what was coming? And that FSU has a lot of talent coming back next season? Is that ok? Or do I have to run the topics of my posts through you beforehand? It appears Auburn stopped forcing the issue on defense and blitzed a lot less. At least it seemed that way but the stats could tell otherwise.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 03:10 PM) I was 7 when Frank made his MLB debut so I grew up watching him throughout my childhood, he has always been my favorite player. I knew he would make the Hall of Fame, but getting in the first ballot is just so awesome. I was 20 what a great time to be 20-25 years old. Frank Thomas and the onset of grunge.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 01:10 PM) I started to think about what Frank Thomas means to me and to my fandom. Tears started welling in my eyes. I wish like hell athletes didn't have to age. I concur, really is cool to think...I remember him being drafted and playing in County Stadium to make his debut. Wonder who inductes him...... Thomas ana LaRussa bring back some odd emotions in regard to the White Sox recent history.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 01:08 PM) GOAT Sox player. Not even close really. Raines got 46.1. Durham got 0 votes. Also mlb just said Thomas is the first player in...then my tv cutoff. What did they say DH to get in

Simply put awesome, Congrats Big Man!

Chris Davis had a really bad second half.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 4, 2014 -> 12:20 AM) I don't think he caught it. The espn ref expert was off his rocker a few times tonight. That was terry mcauley, the guy that assigned those officials. He is justva little biased as he put them in the game. Some odd calls.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 3, 2014 -> 12:49 PM) I. F*cking. Hate. Teachers. On. Facebook. One of them just posted a link to an article that some Minnesota schools have canceled school for Monday already because of the expected temperature with the words "hint, hint Illinois!" holyf***ings*** First of all, they'll cancel school, but come on, she will have been off of work for SEVENTEEN straight days at that point. SEVENTEEN! Do you really need another?? Why are all these b****es so fat and lazy!? The only thing I know about folks employment from Facebook are those that ride the train or bus to work and teachers. Bus and train folks have free time to tell us that they are on said bus or train after a hard days work without going into specific detail while teachers feel the need to tell you how hard they work and how many days they will have off for a given break/holiday that is over due and all to short.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jan 3, 2014 -> 03:22 PM) Which is why this will never happen. Wait until Clowney's Pro Day or the Combine (whatever he participates in), and when a 275 lb DE runs a sub 4.5 and excels in all the other drills, he'll be a consensus Top 3 pick again. All it takes is an offensive line or QB run and he drops. A good amount of talk and tape on him taking players off and durability issues. Doubt it happens but it could

Meriweather is only 29. I thought he was that old when he played for the Bears.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 3, 2014 -> 10:38 AM) As bad as it could be, the USOC is much more worried about the Next Summer ones in Rio. They are already allocating extra resources for future security. Chicago would have been a much less stressful choice.

With modern technology (bench warmers, clothing) the game still has some semblance of reality. How the hell did those players stay warm at the Ice Bowl and still be able to move?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 3, 2014 -> 11:40 AM) @MattSpiegel670 I've got a source I trust on the official cap hits for the Jay Cutler contract, & the numbers are not as they've been reported/listed. SOURCE: The official salary cap hits for Cutler are as follows: ’14: 11.8 mil '15: 15.3 ’16: 16.8 ’17: 18.3 ’18: 18.8 ’19: 22 ’20: 23 SOURCE: Cutler contract calls for a prorated bonus of $10.8 mil for each of the first 5 seasons, adding up to the $54 mil guaranteed total. So it is $10.8 a year for five years plus 14 - $1M 15 - $4.5M 16 - $ 7.5M 17 - $8M 18 - $10.5M

QUOTE (Boogua @ Dec 31, 2013 -> 10:11 AM) He didn't stand out due to the coaching. If more of those hurries turned into sacks, which they would have with last year's coaching staff, the fans would have been calling for his head. For comparison, Carimi gave up 31 hurries last year, but he gave up 7 sacks. Mills and Long have a lot of potential on the right side and showed flashes during the year in the run game. The run blocking, however, looked even better when Mills got hurt and Britton took over on Sunday. The good thing is that Mills is only a rookie and should only get better. When Mills went out the Bears seemed to played better. I like Mills and I hope there is not a thing in the front office to get the draft picks out there. They created opportunities for Britton so he did see the field. They compared Webb to Mills yesterday and the thing that they said was the biggest difference was Mills got a lot more help than Webb got. Coaches are paid to put guys in the best position to succeed and it seemed that at least on the offensive side of the ball they did a good job with it.
