QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 29, 2014 -> 10:07 AM) Give me one reason that this is true. I guess I just think it is harder to find a starting goalie than it is a third (or fourth) line winger. I do not think Crawford is worth his contract but I understand that signing more than I do Bickell.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 29, 2014 -> 08:56 AM) Not exactly a stellar offseason for Bowman between the Bickell & Crawford deals. The Crawford deal was more of a necessity while Bickell was a third (or fourth) line winger that got hot at the right time.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 28, 2014 -> 01:58 PM) I don't know one way or the other, but it's not obvious to me why having it at a neutral site increases revenue. Because it is predetermined and more people can plan for the date and location as opposed to a random city on an unspecified date. New York City has organized events every day this week. This can be completed because they know 500,000 will show up for he event. This is the same thing as to why the Kentucky Derby, Indy 500, and Daytona 500 are party atmospheres while Game 6 of the NBA finals is not...because there may or may not be a game 7 and then if there is a game 7 it is a little too late to organize the party. That is why the Super Bowl is held at neutral site. It has nothing to do with the game itself and one of these times it will be a home game for someone.

I always thought the global warming would lead to global cooling as the ice caps melted and the ocean waters rise and cool.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jan 24, 2014 -> 09:55 AM) If that was my CEO I would start looking for a new job instantly. That comment reeks more of desperation/frustration then trying to change the world, I would have little confidence in the future of that company. Sure, but he is right.

This weather is f***ing depressing.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 16, 2013 -> 04:29 PM) Luge, except for men's double, is cool. Why they have men's doubles but not women's doubles seems odd. Women's doubles luge, or mixed doubles would be hot. son of a b**** it does exist, how is this not covered more, sorry, but this could be the hottest sport out there. http://www.olympic.org/luge-doubles-mixed

New York Football Giants as this is Coughlin's last year and it would be interesting to see how he goes about his business.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 22, 2014 -> 01:47 PM) Sadly, he's in my multimedia sports class. Odd, sounds like he knows s*** about sports.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 22, 2014 -> 12:29 PM) Why don't the Cubs just buy out the affected rooftops? It can't cost much more than a reserve infielder. If this is supposedly holding everything up, with what they will have to pay lawyers and time lost, wouldn't that make sense? Money must really be tight at Clark/Addison. It seems to me the Ricketts kids bought a lemon of a car without having a mechanic look at it first. I bet Cubs fans thought anyone but the Tribune Company would be good for the Cubs. Be careful what you wish for. Revenue for the rooftops is probably close to $1M annually. The buildings have been retrofitted to serve the purpose of being a bar on the top two or three floors if not the entire building. I would guess the cost to buy those buildings would be in the $50-$100M range.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 21, 2014 -> 08:49 PM) It's fun to watch. It's a real business competition. It is pretty good, I am not sure why but it is as entertaining as storage wars. .

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 22, 2014 -> 09:05 AM) The general sentiment is the Dodgers and Yankees can over a lot more than we can. My guess was he signs for 7/$147, and Sox offered 7/$119. But bigger unknown was how much Tanaka would value the money over other factors. For those who felt Tanaka would leave $30 mil on the table, they fooled themselves. Hahn was wright, if it hasn't come down to $$, we had as much a chance as anyone, but the sad reality was it most likely came down to money, but a lot of people here refused to see that. What fans were holding out hope for was that the luxury tax would impact how the Dodgers and Yankees do business. It obviously does not. What this shows is that the posting cost Tanaka's Japanese team $30M that ended up in Tanaka's pocket anyway and wasted a lot of other peoples time.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 22, 2014 -> 09:04 AM) Like they are content with Arod's contract? Maybe not content but it has not affected how they run the organization.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 22, 2014 -> 08:49 AM) Props to all those who fooled themselves into believing Sox were higher than the Yankees on Tanaka's destination list. Who was fooled? The White Sox flat out said if it comes down to money they will not get him. The cubs were the one's that said they would not be outbid. I think the Sox ended up around 5 years $100M not enough to outbid teams but if was not about money they had a shot did some work and it did not work out. He was an ideal for what they need at this time as he was for every other team.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 19, 2014 -> 07:28 AM) Roy from "Shipping Wars". I sometimes watch this during the marathon time slots on History. Does Heather need a hug? http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/g...ticle-1.1584425 He was really the best part of the show along with the hot check named Robbie.

Tanaka camp could be floating amounts to jack the price up. 6/130 seems like a number that can go to 7/150 real quick from an interested party when in actuality the best offer is 5/100 which he could take and say he took that to renegotiate at a younger age 30, as opposed to 31.

With PED's being reduced, the plethora of 30+ free agent signings actaully working out is being less and less. This type of player may not be around for a while.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jan 21, 2014 -> 08:01 AM) I watched the first part of the Discovery miniseries Klondike last night and found it very enjoyable Ya it was pretty good. Three day run which is cool.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 21, 2014 -> 08:06 AM) That has to suck for the lifetime professional bobsledders. You spend your whole life practicing dreaming of the Olympic team and you think you are the best until suddenly these track stars show up and take your spot in the Games. Driver and Brakeman are the real skill folks here. In the fourman, the pushers are the athletes. Herschel Walker did this.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 21, 2014 -> 09:50 AM) Quietly I believe Rose plays this year. Bulls just know they have to be smart and toe the line of he won't play. Then if he does, its gravy. Then the Deng trade makes no sense unless they really felt they were better without Deng. If Rose comes back and Deng is not there, what happens. Could the Bulls reacquire Deng at the deadline?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 19, 2014 -> 01:11 AM) Really? After the last two years were still on LeBron's killer instinct? No just yanking your chain. He is top 5.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 19, 2014 -> 12:28 AM) "Speaking at the Cubs Convention today, Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein said the team erred in promoting Brett Jackson to the majors in 2012, commenting that the outfielder may have required more minor league seasoning (via MLB.com's Carrie Muskat). Jackson struggled to a .175/.303/.342 line in 142 plate appearances, and returned to the minors in 2013 to hit just .210/.296/.330. Epstein explained that then-manager Dale Sveum wanted to work on developing Jackson's swing." Don't worry guys. Baez/Bryant/Almora/Soler are all gonna be stars! Josh Vitters......the 2003 game six v Florida was covered on MLBN top games of last twenty years I could watch that game on a loop until I take my last breath. I love you Dusty and piss hands.

LeBron is top 5 he toys with folk, if he had a killer instinct he would be worth watching
