QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 09:30 AM) IGN gave Fallout 4 a 9.5, and the only con they listed was..................................bugs. So no surprise. IGN sucks for reviews. That said, the game is getting great reviews all around.

Hot take: Leftovers is the best show airing on TV right now, and i'm not sure it's very close.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 07:34 AM) midnite showing of Bond..... the movie is great on first impression. i may have some more to talk about. i am tired. but it was great!!!! Hmm. I'm interested to hear why.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 12:00 PM) Then I'm just a troll. If last year didn't convince you then you're either dumb (not you, bulls fans in general) or in denial. #itcouldhappen! #angelsintheoutfield! I don't disagree with your ultimate point, but the absolute/extreme language just makes you sound like a troll. This is sports. There are no guarantees. How many times have you given absolute predictions that never happen. Weren't you the one saying Lebron would have 5-6 rings by now? The Heat would win more than 72? How'd that work out?

"Will never" is troll speak. "Probably won't," "isn't likely", etc. are reasonable people speak.

J4L = Ken M in this thread.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 09:08 AM) Yep. And when Snell came in he immediately threw two passes at people looking the other way He also hit a couple of big threes and had one good drive and dish. I think he and McDermott played about equally. My issue with McBuckets is that he's only doing one thing - running around looking to shoot a three. I wish he'd add some more to his game.

Some vintage Rose in the 4th there. Good stuff. Butler, as always, with a quiet great game.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 01:58 PM) I am just impressed the guy is playing through it. I can't even give him a hard time right now. Do you really buy it? I'm iffy. I would think if you really had double vision like that you'd be suffering from nausea and vertigo/balance issues. I don't think I couldn't stand walking around the house, let alone playing professional basketball.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 12:08 PM) Your 2nd eye provides for depth perception, so I have no idea how he can really shoot effectively with it and I'd also think it would significantly impact your passing ability (which in Rose's case was never a strength). Defensively I'd also think you'd have issues since peripheral vision is off, etc. You can tell he is extremely uncomfortable and playing very tentative. Gotta save those eyes to watch his homeboy bang the same chick, er, I mean, watch his grandkids graduate!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 12:44 PM) By the way, if it wasn't clear, Windhorst take was purely his commentary. Nothing to do with any inside info or sources...just his watch and initial (knee-jerk) reaction based upon the first few games of the season. He even told Waddle and Silvy that in a few months everyone might be looking back at his opinion and laughing at him and calling him a jackass. With Russillo it was "i'm saying for a fact, and making you assume I have sources when I say it, the beginning of the end is here." With W&S it suddenly became, "oh! Just remember guys, this is just my opinion! i have no inside information. I don't have ANY information about it! I'm just speculating and in 4 months we can laugh at how wrong i was!" He's a Lebron dick-tugging hack.

Spectre - b+ as a popcorn action flick. C- as a continuation of the prior Craig-Bond films. 100% agree with the hitfix.com review that the entire basis of the prior three movies ends up being hysterically terrible.

Windhorst, whoring for clicks i'd imagine, said on Rusillo today that the break up of the Bulls and Rose has begun.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 02:47 PM) The overreaction also was because people thought three people who just killed a cop were on the loose and nobody knew anything about them except a general description and race Wasn't that immediately debunked though? Like within days because they found the woman making the false report?

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 02:28 PM) I think the overreaction was due in part to the Texas shooting of the cop which I thought was just days prior. Yeah but kids are shot down like that in Chicago every weekend. /racism.

Calm down people. Thibs had a couple blowout loses too. One in Denver comes to mind. It happens.

I'm heading there for a bachelor party in Feb. You'll have to give a review when you get back.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 05:38 PM) i think both movies were enjoyable. but of the 2, equalizer by far was way better. btw, can wait till Thursday...... Jame Bond midnight showing. I'm checking it out tonight at a sneak preview screening. I'm excited, but the hitfix.com review tempered my expectations.

In a 40 pt game Portis still can't get minutes. Wtf?

The s***ty version of this Bulls team showed up tonight. Getting crushed by Charlotte

One thing I never understood - if he shot himself, wouldn't he have gun residue on his hand? Wouldn't that, in like a day, confirm whether or not he shot himself?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 02:44 PM) How does it hold up in Chicago weather? I've got a big patio but not really a ton of storage space for something like this. Would it handle winters under a covering? Or do you think it needs to be stored indoors. I always bring mine into the garage in the winter, and when I smoke I just wheel it out to the driveway (they sell a stand/wheel kit for it). The cover is pretty flimsy, but I'm sure you could find better ones online. My guess is it would hold up. I mean it's not any different from a grill and I leave mine out, covered, every winter.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 01:20 PM) The trades in that movie were also laughably unrealistic. Oh yeah, for sure. Also, what was the point of his relationship with the cap girl? What did that add to the movie other than some small conversations to fill out the day?

Caught up on some movies this weekend: John Wick. Highly enjoyable. I heard about a drinking game where you drink every time he shoots someone in the head.....I think you'd die if you played all the way through. Draft Day. Too boring for me. And also incredibly stupid. No franchise, not even the Browns, wait until hours before the draft to do ANY homework on a potential pick.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 10:43 AM) Anyone have a smoker? I am looking to get into the electric smoker market and I wanted to see if anyone had thoughts Yep. I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007ZTMTCG. I've championed it on here in some other thread. Get an electric one. It's awesome being able to set it and forget it. I smoked for years with a Weber charcoal grill and it was an annoying process to have to check the temp, mess with the vents, and then add charcoal every 3-4 hours. You can go cheaper and just get the standard model for like $180, or you can go up wards of $400 and get one that has a window, an internal light and a remote control to keep track and control the temp of the unit, as well as the temp of the meat. The window isn't really that helpful. It's tough to see when there's smoke, condensation and/or grime buildup. The light is awesome though, as is the remote control. It also doesn't waste a ton of chips. I use maybe 2-3 handfuls for an entire 12-13 hour smoke if i'm doing a pork butt. On my Weber I was using half a bag it seemed like. I've smoked just about everything in it: pork butt, ribs, chicken, brisket, salmon, mac and cheese, etc. etc. All comes out great.
