What the heck was the ref doing when Floyd hit Ortiz? He was looking at something else or talking to someone else...as if he wasn't prepared for the fight to begin again either.

Pretty f'ing excited for this Bears game tomorrow. Not sure how the defense will play considering the circumstances, but if we can get a performance out of our offense similar to last week, which shouldn't be difficult, considering the Saints won't be able to get a ton of pressure on Jay without Will Smith (yes, I know they will bring the blitzes), we should be in the driver's seat for this one. Love the moneyline value at +260

QUOTE (Real @ Sep 18, 2011 -> 02:56 AM) Manny has to take the test, Floyd isn't budging on that and honestly he shouldn't. Shane Mosley beat NSAC standard uring testing, and Victor Conte calls current testing standards "An IQ test, easy to beat." Take the test Manny and become #43 ! Manny said he would.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 18, 2011 -> 02:46 AM) Tequila, vodka, rum are what we do shots of. We mix those plus whiskey too. Jagerbombs are really popular, I just think it's way to pricey for what jager is. Red bull and vodka is definitely still out there, but most just mix with coke or other pop. And I make white russians or bloody marys for girls all the time that don't like liquor or beer much. Works wonders. White Russians are fantastic...as is a good bloody early in the morning...now I'm getting thirsty...

QUOTE (zenryan @ Sep 18, 2011 -> 12:13 AM) of course Floyd will give him a rematch because it will be another reason for him to puss out of a fight against Manny. I was listening to the radio out here in Vegas yesterday and they think the fight will probably happen next year as long as Floyd can stay out of jail...there is just too much money on the table and the clock is ticking on both of these guys...

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 18, 2011 -> 01:25 AM) I lvoe beer and tequila. Hey Russ, what are college kids drinking as shots and mixed drinks right now? Do people still drink Jaegermeister? Red Bull and vodka? Jeesh, I haven't been to a college bar in so long...

Bears +7 Steelers -14 Eagles -2.5

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 09:19 PM) I need to teach my son how to tweet The sad thing is, I actually believe this crew could outperform our current staff, after a reasonable period for a learning curve. Edit: Well, aside from the pitching/hitting coach spots...that takes a bit more technical knowledge than can be expected from a normal person.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 07:42 PM) Not sure, but he's usually one of the best in the business I always thought his source was Ozzie himself, however.

If J4L was a beer vendor, there would be no more beer left to sell... I was actually thinking of this very same topic the other day... I'd make Kalapse the GM, with Balta as assistant GM and CHW42 as assistant assistant GM. My manager would be Fathom, with a pitching coach of Rock Raines and a hitting coach of DocSox24. 1st base coach would be Gingerkid and 3rd base coach would be Lost. Sqwert and Qwerty would be my play-by-play and color men, respectively. Russ would handle player development along with J4L. Steve would be my VP of marketing.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 05:57 AM) Finally got around to seeing Buried last night. Tough movie to watch, but I really liked it. Very tense. Like the ending?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 02:15 AM) Hammered on a Monday night for about $5, I love having alumni down for career fair when they are loaded and pay for all the drinks of the night. And this thread is way too dead, i only post here like twice a week on average and i feel like im the only one. i know we have a tonn of college students on here, wats up with that. Enjoy it while you can, Russ...nothing beats the good ole' college days when you could get s***face plastered for less than the price of a pizza...

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 09:11 PM) I saw that draft report and figured it was mostly bulls***. I mean, talking about his smile? That's like people with Jay Cutler's facial expressions. Regardless, as far as his actual football ability... You don't have to like someone to see that. Why do people just make s*** up? Like the jamarcus Russell comparisons? Come on now. Trent Dilfer was saying the exact opposite about him this morning on The Herd...that he lights up a room and and commands a locker room. That he "just gets it." My guess is he is fully aware of the the power he can have in the NFL as a young star quarterback, and is simply trying to optimize that.

Got back from my camping trip Saturday morning. Had a blast hiking in Lake Tahoe, and seeing Redwood forests in Crescent City, as well as taking the dog to the beach. Then drove up through Oregon to Oceanside. WOW! What a beautiful state Oregon is! Absolutely gorgeous...all green and trees and lakes and an incredibly picturesque coastline. Tent performed very well...weather was very agreeable...dogs did well in the car and at the campsites, although we didn't anticipate how cold they would get in the 40 degree evenings...had to bundle them up pretty good overnight. Thank goodness we had a Yakima SpaceCase though...we would have never been able to pack all our gear and the dogs without that extra capacity. Had some great local beers in Oregon as well. Can't wait to plan another trip!

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 12:12 AM) Hell I don't care. He's being honest. Its not what I would have told the media but he's not putting pressure on them atleast. I want him gone but this is a non-issue to me. I don't pay any mind to anything that comes out of his mouth anymore. I don't think his players do either...which is part of the problem...

Leaving for my trip tomorrow morning. Started packing up my friend's 4-Runner since I am working tonight and we're leaving tomorrow morning when I get off. My friend is apparently one of those people who wants to bring everything but the kitchen sink with us. I hate that. We are going camping...not transporting our house to the middle of the woods.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 09:39 PM) Is it even worth debating though? Seems like there's no chance he's brought back. I think we'll miss Quentin more than we think. Agreed.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 09:36 PM) I disagree. He's streaky enough where he will win us a few games on his own during the year. In a perfect world, you get him and Viciedo in the same lineup. Yeah, but he's too streaky to be a cleanup hitter. He'd bet a better 5th or 6th place hitter.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 09:31 PM) It's nice to have an offense that isn't reliant on Quentin. His numbers are greater than his impact. He just tends to put them up in massive streaks. He'll put up 25 RBI in 12 games and then go 25 games with 5 RBI. He's great when he's hot but then he gets into his black hole period for weeks.

Damn, I wish I could have heard Bert and Dick during that inning...

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 12:19 PM) Stewart will be fine. This Twins lineup isn't going to knock him out early. Oops.

QUOTE (Be Good @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 07:31 PM) I love camping and try to go as much as possible The best trip this year - was pretty close to home only an hour or so. Out east on Long Island - in Wading River. Fri and Sat was perfect weather but early Sunady morning it rained like hell, that was 2 weeks ago when the east coast got pounded with 5-10 inches of ran. By 7am our tent was in 3+ inches of water (and we we're not prepared) the tent had holes and we were soaked. But it was memorable at least. I had a trip like that myself...we went for the weekend and it rained from about an hour after we got there for about 12 hours straight. I think we had 10 inches of rain over night. Everything was an absolute mudpit. I just made sure I was completely drunk the whole weekend so as not to let the conditions ruin my fun Just got our tent today. NorthFace Meadowlands 4. Also bought the footprint for it. Pretty sure it will protect us from the rains a bit better this time...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 01:01 PM) All this MPG talk is making me remember that I dont have the luxury of driving my Ducati in the winter and have to rely on the Hemi eating endless amounts of gas. Dammit. How is the Jeep treating you, Rock? Still loving it? I haven't bought anything yet as I am buying a home and need to get that finished up first. Still looking though...thinking maybe a Honda Crosstour now...

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 02:36 PM) Vic's fate was his perfect Hell. Jail wouldn't have bothered him, he'd just run things there. In fact, a show where Vic Mackey was in jail would be epic. The Shield meets Oz, holy s***. I don't know...would he have been killed pretty quickly? One would have to think he would have been killed pretty quickly on the streets had he really been running things that way...
