QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 09:29 AM) Haha, awesome. While I don't like to see the Patriots win, I love seeing Goodell being made a fool of. Exactly, Goodell totally deserves this embarrassment.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 09:21 AM) Brady beats the NFL No suspension?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 04:11 PM) Votto! It is crazy how dangerous he is right now.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 03:17 PM) Anyone know how they are getting DNA off a bullet? Dont worry, Greg will soon chime in on where the city of Chicago Forensic Department ranks world wide.

That De La Rosa (Diamondbacks) wild pitch was freaking hilarious. I still cant figure out what happened with him there. It looked like he was spooked as if someone was stealing home or something. LOL

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 01:00 PM) The bears last year had 3 straight games where they were down by 30 points or more at halftime. I don't know if you assume that by people thinking the bears will improve means that they are the seahawks, but, no I do not expect the Bears to have 3 straight games giving up 30+ points at halftime. I expect the one of the best game planning defensive coordinators in football to create more effective defenses than Mel Tucker. The secondary, to me, does not seem appreciably worse than last year. The linebackers are going to be better, the line better. Does that mean top 15 d? No, but is that an improvement to last year? yes. Exactly! Have people forgot how they had maybe the worst defensive season in their history last year? Yeah I am pretty confident they will be better than that even after watching the first team play poorly after one quarter of play in a preseason game.

Yeah there is no chance the defense is a bad or worse than last year. They literally had a hard time stopping any drive of the opponent. Even with worse players Fangio will have them cohesive enough to be better than that mess of last year.

So they have called off the manhunt?

I know I would be feeling really uneasy if I lived in that area. Everyone white and black guy I seen would probably have me paranoid.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 04:14 PM) Monte Ball might be getting cut as well and could be a pick up for the Bears. Forte, Ball, Langford, Carey would be siiiiiiick. Rodgers would make it ahead of Carey

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 04:11 PM) Obviously Trace Thompson is the new savior. I hope Rick can sign him to a team friendly extension asap, buying out arb and a coupe free agent years. Obviously anyone that wants to see him in the lineup must think he is the savior right? It couldnt be that we may want to see all the young guys play the majority of the time to end this year because the season is over and we already know what we have in the veteran players?

So they are fine with throwing mediocre offensive bats right into the fire with Saladino, Sanchez and Johnson but with Trayce they feel the need to treat him like a delicate flower that cant be overwhelmed with too much at one time?

Cubs acquire Austin Jackson from Mariners.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 31, 2015 -> 12:45 PM) I won't be changing a thing. I'm brutally honest about the state of the White Sox. You shouldnt think that you are being unique in your "honesty" like you are the only one that is willing to be honest about a bad team that they are a fan of. There are plenty of posters here that are "honest" in their assessments. And there is a difference to being honest and just trying to get a rise out of someone in each thread you post in. Knowing that you arent going to change a thing I would be willing to bet you will eventually get into trouble with the mod/admins here because anytime you step over the line there will be posters lined up to report you and no one willing to defend you. Its just a message board...but whatever, just being brutally honest.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 31, 2015 -> 10:09 AM) I know people will want to see improvement, but I think they will. They just have a talent deficiency which was quite apparent in April but for some reason we started getting fooled when pads started. Team has no depth on Oline, so any injuries will be brutal. It has no secondary depth, which we are used to. But, even as bad as saturday was, I was still pleased to see players swarming tackles and playing hard, they just aren't identifying plays well yet, or are just not that good and are getting blocked. My ideal season is to see the young guys show promise, growth and buy-in to the new systems...and also with some encouraging season ending stat lines would be nice. I want the team to look good and competent but not enough to actually win many games. I am willing to give up wins this year to have one of the top picks if not the top pick in the draft. Bears can be God awful and I will still enjoy watching football this year so give the worst record and allow them to pick their quarterback of the future.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 02:52 PM) Where's Brandon Marshall when you need him? Thankfully on the New York Jets.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 03:36 PM) Yeah that video gave me chills down my spine. It's crazy how we all probably watch violence of TV and don't even bat an eyelash. This is scary because this is apart of life in this country. Unbelievable when he had the gun out pointing it at her as they talked and he stepped back for a moment like he was positioning better or having second thoughts. Its crazy how none of them noticed him pointing the gun only feet away. Horrifying.

His manifesto is reportedly 23 pages long? 23 pages of rambling and raging lunacy.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 08:24 AM) Local news report near Roanoke VA was interrupted by gunman shooting cameraman, reporter to death. Person being interviewed is reportedly in surgery. The live feed gives a glimpse of the gunman, who was dressed in black and still holding his pistol towards the victims when the camera hit the ground. Horrifying. What the hell could the motive be?

QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 03:49 PM) nice..... really nice. LOL All he said in bold was build your team to make the playoffs as much as possible. Thats not nice.

My kids are on a binge for watching The Crood's on repeat. Funny movie but damn I am so tired of it.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 11:40 AM) Sports Mockery (I know, hence take with a grain of salt) is reporting Kane will not be charged with rape due to lack of evidence. I assume they are just running with that story because its taken some time now with no charges as of yet. They are just like the rest of us and have no idea whats going to happen with this.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 05:41 PM) That's cause your too easy to get a rise out of sir. Back in my days, Mario and I could get a rise out of you just by racing. This is true. It actually would still make me mad.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 03:52 PM) Nick Swisher easy YES! Good God I hated Swisher. He is just awful in every way.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 04:36 PM) This cub fascination is such a city of chicago thing. This past weekend I was wearing my Sox shirt (ever since I had kids, when I'm not at work, I usually am wearing either a Sox / Bulls / Bears shirt so my kids can start to like the logo's / mascots (force em into it while they are young, haha) and a guy goes, oh man, I'm so envious of you...getting to know what its like to win a series, hell even see a world series in their lifetime. I respond back, yeah, but I'm envious of you and your team and he goes, don't be, we'll blow it. I learned a long time ago, don't get your hopes up....just watch, Rodon / Fullmer will become aces and you'll have a loaded rotation with Sale / Q and you'll get to the series and the Cubs prospects will end up busting and Lester will tear his arm. We both got a good chuckle out of that and kids respectively said hi to each other. Cubs story and the team is a pretty cool one. I wish we were able to have that friendly banter. Although I will say its not bad all the time. There are some Cub fan's that I interact with that are cool and level headed about things and arent just looking to get a rise out of sox fans but those are the minority in my world. I mostly just ignore them though.
