2013 TV Thread
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 3, 2013 -> 03:21 PM) They were all funny I thought. one of the better roasts ive seen. I actually met Jeff Ross Saturday at the Oddball comedy tour at First Midwest, he was hitting up a girl at one of the promo stations a couple hours before the show. The braided hair threw me for a loop but got to say hey, and then he was a hilarious host for the show.

Official Recruiting Thread II
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 3, 2013 -> 09:57 AM) It was more the 12 hour period of time when the insider experts all changed their picks from Florida to Illinois seemingly out of the blue. I could see a handful of people knowing an actual source, but the fact that so many changed their guess just seemed like herd mentality. Martin was the first one to change, and he clearly had a source that was either Leron's mom or very close to her. And most changed from Florida because he didn't commit there during/after his visit, and they were pegged as the strongest competition for Leron at the time (huge position of need for them, Billy D, etc). Once he left without a commit, most insiders knew Illinois was very likely.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Sep 2, 2013 -> 09:20 PM) Black didn't really surprise me, but Alexander definitely would. Yea, Jenks not sure why you laughed at the Black updates, that was pretty well known going into the last month or two that we were leading for him. Cliff is a whole different beast in terms of his recruitment. I think we have a legitimate shot at him, but I wouldn't say we have the best odds of any team. I still think he goes to Kansas.

Catch-All Anything Thread
QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 12:28 PM) Well, then it's not very applicable. Also, the final frame is clearly a father killing himself and his daughter by careening down a mountain in a radio flyer (if it's supposed to be real life). Yea, if you're really talented and creative you MIGHT be able to pull off what Bill did, but for the average person out there they don't have the skills to succeed, and most that even do may never get the opportunities that Bill eventually received. It's a huge gamble, and could make one's life even worse with always stressing about paying bills while raising a family. While working the corporate ladder isn't for everyone, it can definitely provide a good life for many.

How will ozzie be remembered?
QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 21, 2013 -> 04:08 PM) As far as the "quitting" issue, I don't really care that he left the team with 2-3 games to go or whatever it was. Who cares? The season was over by then anyway. YET YOU WANT THE SOX TO WIN NOW EVEN THOUGH THEIR RECORD IS HORSEs***. f***ing bulls*** greg, stop making excuses for Ozzie when you blast players in the ass every time they do the same thing.

I only go out about once every 2 weeks now, but each time I just ball outrageous and get blacked out drunk. I blame Fireball for this.

Healthy Eating Thread
QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Aug 20, 2013 -> 07:56 PM) Here are a few options I use. The ultimate: 3.5 pounds, zero sugar, 30g of protein, but pricey http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Pl...+Whey+Chocolate Step down: 5 pounds, small sugar, 24g of protein http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-St...d+Standard+Whey f*** that, go for this: http://www2.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx...&lang=en-US Stuff is delicious, and makes awesome overnight oats (props to Steve for that recommendation), I eat that stuff like 3 days a week now for breakfast.

Healthy Eating Thread
QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 20, 2013 -> 10:55 AM) I'm glad you guys bumped this thread...I was actually intending on coming to post a few things this morning. So after taking several months off the workout routine in the spring (was having to take the dogs to the dog park for 1.5 hours every morning so THEY could exercise), I have been back in the saddle for about 10 weeks. Got a new home with a big yard so I don't have to take the dogs to the park anymore and can spend the time working out myself now. Anyways, my body bounces back pretty quickly so I was back in pretty decent shape after just a few weeks, but the last few weeks I have really cleaned up the diet and have seen some pretty quick results. Now I am into the strengthening/muscle building component of my routine though, and so I need to dial up my protein intake a bit. I don't eat much red meat and so that leaves me with pork, chicken, or fish. I'm getting tired of pork and chicken, and good fish (I like albacore or yellowfin tuna steaks) is pretty expensive. Additionally, I'm sort of toying with the idea of going to a vegetarian protein source because I am sort of an animal rights person, and it doesn't sit well with me that I am eating all this meat. Should I switch over to a protein powder? Or balance that with some tofu or tempeh as well? Any other suggestions? Jake, Sqwert, Reddy, your thoughts are appreciated, as well as anyone else who might have some good tips. Thanks in advance. I will hang up and listen. Yea Y2HH, stay out of this!

Slow pitch softball thread
QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 16, 2013 -> 01:49 PM) Well, we lost our semi-final game and got eliminated. Defense made a whole host of stupid errors, but the fact that we only scored 1 run in 7 innings made that all moot. The only excuse I have is that we were missing 5 of our players, so we had fill-ins all over the place, but still, 1 run is horrid for anyone. Didn't pitch a shutout this time?

Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, Elgin, Buffalo Grove (leagues I have played in) all have the leagues broken down A/B/C Yea our organizer was saying that BG is going to an open league for the Fall, but I now see that they have a Tuesday option for C-league (no way my team should be playing against better competition at this point). Thanks for all the responses!
