In regard to radio retreads Steve Dahl was pretty decent and was paid by 104.3 to sit home for two years and do podcasts. In regard to space until I was helping my 11 year old son on a project, I had never heard of Voyager 1 and Voyager 2.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Dec 10, 2012 -> 02:48 PM) Yup, I was asking about the Pick 7 plans. Can't find any info on Sox website. Not released yet. I assume some time in early January before the tickets go on sale to the public.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 10, 2012 -> 02:42 PM) According to the thread title, they went on-sale 11/28 Pick 7 plans not Pick 14. Pick 14 are on sale.

Couple of things, Are they rushing the punter or is this like a safety? If it is not like a safety are they kicking from the 30 or the 19? How do you fake it?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 5, 2012 -> 10:01 AM) With life being busy, too many trips to the gym, and NBA League Pass, I have grown to despise this thread - but only because I can never read it and by the time I've watched some episodes it's long past! Anyways, SOA finale was awesome. Caught up on SOA last night it was a really good season. Plenty of good stuff for next season. Did not see the JAX/Tara thing going down like that at all. Boardwalk and SOA had two great seasons.

Watched the Boardwalk finale last night. Hoping to get to SOA tonight. The Richard scene was incredible. My wife kept thinking that Charlie was going to get his. I told her it couldn't really happen as you have to realize in some regard that he moves on to bigger things. While i understand the show is part fiction you kind of have to think that Capone was not going to be killed off.

Keppinger is a nice piece. If they want to give Morel a shot again, Keppinger takes the Lillibridge role but he could also replace Morel.

Late to the NIU party but I would rather see LSU or Gorgia in a BCS bowl game. The SEC is fun to watch and I hate the SEC. Also ESPN is a travesty to sports.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 4, 2012 -> 08:27 AM) There is really no reason he shouldn't be ready. The tissues involved are all static structures like ACL reconstruction or UCL replacement in the elbow. These are all very predictable in the recovery time. Moreso, than when you are dealing with active dynamic structures such as muscle or tendon repairs. The usual recovery time is 3-6 months depending on the extent of the repair. His wasn't too bad considering they have him throwing 3 months after the surgery. I love it when you analyze.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 3, 2012 -> 11:45 AM) What top prospect are you getting for Flowers? If the Sox sign AJ, trade Flowers and Morel for a 3B prospect that is comparable on the prospect scale as Flowers. This was most likely Morel last spring.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 3, 2012 -> 03:31 PM) I know one thing... it would be Ozzie Guillens fault. greg feels Guillen will catch us when we fall off the Fiscal Cliff

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 30, 2012 -> 02:48 PM) That would be Mr ND, Ed Farmer. Hawk Harrelson lives in South Bend

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 30, 2012 -> 12:49 PM) After how intense the Gyp/Nucky feud has gotten, I just have a hard time seeing it continue into next season. Once more & more bodies start dropping, what else can you do? They call a cease-fire and talk s*** from seperate parts of town? Gyp is such an awesome character, it would be awesome to keep him around, that's I wonder if Nucky is a possibility to go. Gyp is a great character but he is made to be a little too over the top to focus the show around. My thought is Richard gets him because he does something stupid to Jimmy's kid. I like the Richard storyline and hope next year he is more involved to take over the Owen role. At some point when you kill too many people off the show is not what you originally got into. This is happening with Sons of Anarchy. You begin to lose interest in a show if the characters you like are no longer there. The SOA plot is as good as ever but if the characters do not fit the roles, the show is no looking interesting.

Don't know how in fits into things but I loved Dan Johnson's approach at the plate. Especially late in games. I would like to seem him get a PH 5th outfielder spot.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 26, 2012 -> 08:59 AM) Black Friday does a nice job of encapsulating our terrible culture. The day (or sometimes hours) after we are supposedly thankful for everything we have, we rush out to stores to literally fight over mass-produced electronics offered at discounted prices. People go apes*** over free s***, no matter what it is. example #1 Chevy Pride Crew s***ty t-shirt giveaway.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 29, 2012 -> 08:09 AM) Neither have we. To quote hawk Harrelson, Geologists don't have the stones to gamble

Will the Mets ever learn about overpaying for players?

14 games three seats outfield $588. Great deal.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 27, 2012 -> 11:48 AM) GREAT episode of Boardwalk. What a fantastic season. I'm still confused about how Masseria knew Owen was coming though. At best Lucciano could describe what he looked like and warn him that a hit attempt might be coming, but would that really have been so easy to spot? Owens death, while telegraphed given he and Margaret's plan to "escape," still seemed a bit abrupt and not explained all that well. I was hoping for some kind of a flashback to explain what happened, but maybe not. Hopefully Richard doesn't die. It looks like he's about to go all Matrix-style on Gyp's crew. Lastly, what happened to Margaret? Wouldn't Gyp try to go after her and the children right away to flush Nucky out? When the crate arrived, Margaret and her kids were put on a train immediately. Did they ever explain where Gyp gets the liquor from? He seemed to suddenly be able to take over the liquor supply rather easily.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 26, 2012 -> 09:57 AM) Clearly. I took it no other way than Capone and his guys are there to get Nucky back in control. Harrow somehow has to get into the mix and be an enforcer for Nucky or knocks off Gillian to get the kid.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Nov 26, 2012 -> 02:41 PM) Then that's all that had to be said. Not some bulls*** about trolling. I did not know it was interpreted that your ENTIRE appendage must come down in bounds, regardless of whether parts of it landed at different times. I have seen a play in which a receiver caught a ball on the tips of his toes, and then his heel landed on the line out of bounds when he completely came to rest and it was ruled a catch because he toes were in bounds first. It must have been the wrong call and I was referencing that call when thinking about the Bryant catch because it was a similar instance in which part of his hand was down before all of it. If what you say is how it's interpreted, then fine, that makes sense considering w/ Spaeth it occurred on different parts of his body, meaning the same rule doesn't apply. Iamshack said that needed to be said. Now it's done. The rule was clarified recently to eliminate what you are noting. The gray area was what you are saying happens toe inbound heel then comes down out of bound) how is this compared to dragging a toe in bound? That was the issue and the entire foot or hand when coming to the ground need to be inbound.

In 7 years has he done anything that makes you think he should ever be on offense? I guess the defense may scheme something to stop him and thus other players are open. He seems to run bad routes and when he does catch the ball, he seems to get knocked over by the pass.

SOA is on the DVR from last night but Boardwalk and SOA are killing cast members off at a pretty regular clip and I am not sure what I think about it. It really is getting tough to follow SOA while Boardwalk seems to just create new folks.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 20, 2012 -> 11:43 PM) How would it feel to score 104 points as a team and lose by #1) 34 points to one player #2) 75 points overall Kid on the other team scored 70 points. How does it feel to score 70 points and lose by 75. The kid with the 70 points is actually more impressive I think as he was 34-44 shooting and had no three's

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 20, 2012 -> 12:50 PM) Yeah, no matter when/if they settle this, it is going to be at least a month before they start playing real games. Was told by the Hawks 2 week lead time. I have 250 tickets for a late December game that the Hawks owe me $4,000 if they do not play.
