yes it is true...williams and ozzie are completely clueless....even the idiots on espn 1000 today said frank's teammates love him...that he is very generous with them and will always talk to whoever wants to talk to him... i think it might be jealousy...williams wants to build this team with his players....probably wont be happy until all 25 players were acquired by him..as for ozzie..he and thomas ' relationship when they played were strained at best..i guess ozzie didnt forget... ill ask you this about KW...is every player /coach that leaves this organization thats calling williams a whack job wrong???...i mean the list must be up to a full roster by now

kenny didnt answer that question honestly...he didnt even let jerko or whoever asked him finish the question before he could blurt out he was mad at thomas..this was a set up...he probably only agreed to do the interview if they asked a list of questions he gave them..all questions were soft tossers...and he answered them all w/o any delays..he knew what was coming...he set thomas up with that question yasny hit on the bradford trade..i dont care how good down the road olivo becomes bradford was the A's set up man for 3 years now...and a major reason why they go to the playoffs...liken him the past three years to what flash did for us last year...olivo has done nothing much so far for the sox..A's win that trade... his plan...get frank to agree to a trade...youre probably right on that..thats how this little punk works...always causing trouble to get his way...well imo we need frank alot more than we need KW... kenny williams is an micro managing egomaniac...i got a feeling ozie might manage the same way...thats why they are after frank..because he is bigger than they are... thomas did nothing to bring on these remarks...rex could probably back me up or prove me wrong on this but i heard from a friend thats in the know about these things and he said players need to check in like only 2 times during the off season..and frank has followed those rules... as for loiaza and marte...he did a great job there...two good moves in 4 years...should i list all his screw ups???...it would be quicker to rewrite "war and peace" ..

drinking a soda doesnt dull your senses..so i dont see your point there with beer you have a point and i addressed that above... but its not false..MJ does dull your senses...it would be false if they were running those ads from the 50's where they show a guy in a straight jacket in a rubber room running around in circles..and then saying this can be you if you use MJ.. you dont know any stoners???..guys totally out of it and all they do is wanna get high..like in the movie "dude , where's my car'???

i agree with that 100%...drunk driving is imo the biggest domestic problem in this country..the amount of tax payer money spent on all aspects of a drunk driving accident (from police investigations , to hospital bills ect) is unbelievable... i wish they would run more drink responsibly type ads...but my point to apu was that cbs wasnt being hypocritical by running the MJ ads...i just dont see those as controversial

yeah apu..im sure there could have been things done differently...in hindsight there always is...blaming either or both administrations doesnt change anything...it makes no sense to harp on it...no one took the threats serious..we didnt believe it would happen here on american soil...we were soft...lazy..arrogant..whatever...all of us were....we arnt anymore...dept of homeland security was formed because of this... you have b****ed and moaned i dont know how many times about the dept of homeland security..bush using 911 to develop these programs that infringe on our rights ect...now youre whining because they wernt doing these things before 911... you cant have it both ways...if you are against homeland security and the steps taken place to prevent another 911 because you feel they infringe on our rights then dont b**** about nothing being done in 1995...kinda hypocritical if you ask me...

i dont disagree with you about parenting in this country...we could all use improvement there..myself included..but there is nothing controversial about running anti marajuana ads...as for the one where the baby is heading towards the pool..all its meant to show is that while under the influence of MJ , you senses do get dulled...your sense of responsibility...you do agree with that , right???...i mean thats pretty much the definition for getting high , stoned, whatever word you want to call it...if pot didnt do that then there would be no reason to take it... so whats so controversial about it??? as far as im concerned you could make pot legal and start taxing it...but right now it is illegal and kids who get caught with it end up going to court and some go to jail..so running ads that try to tell kids not to do something that could land them in jail and screw up their future is not controversial to me...

my wife worked in a communications center when she was in the army..she used to tell me every night they would get priority messages about possible terrorists attacks..i dont know how many nights i spent on gaurd duty for really no reason because of these alerts...every night these alerts came...that was one area in germany of about 70,000 people..multiply that by the population of the world and tell me how every threat can be checked out??? it's not bi-partisan failure...its a physiological phenomenon in your brain called dysyncronization......its like if someone sneeks up behind you and claps their hands real loud in your ear at first you will jump up wondering what the hell was going on...but if they do it every 30 seconds eventually you wont even blink.. terrorists groups use that as a weapon..they flood their targets with so many false reports that they get desyncronized to the reports...then when someone passes one along thats for real it passes right by undetected... after 911 we were no longer desyncronized...but as time goes on nothing else happens i imagine the same trhing will happen...there is really no defense for it..its how our brains work republican , democrat..it didnt matter...no one would have acted on those reports...and btw apu...what would you have said if george bush would have acted on that report and arrested those "alledged" , (remember they wouldnt have been terrorists yet if we stopped them) terrorists and had them arrested or deported...you would have been screaming about their civil rights being violated and how the evil republicans were acting like a ghestappo...

i agree 100% on the draft...O and D lineman and a cover corner is what we need... we have cap room too..lets hope they use it wisely.. there are all kinds of right ways to do things in football...it all comes down to talent..asst coaches practically live at their offices...some have made their office into an apartment so they never have to go home..these are people that are mostly divorced and never see thier kids , have nothing else going on in their lives but football...they study and break down so much film that it really doesnt matter what you run or dont run..every tendancy will be covered...in the end..its all up to the players..talent let's hope we get some...

dennis miller said it best about the dept of homeland security...2 1/2 years ago khalid el - kaboom blew up the trade centers...since then ..nothing...must be doing something right...

welcome to my world

howard dean will do that to ya

are they running negative ads against the other candidates???....if they are then its hypocrisy...i dont believe they are running ads on the war on drugs is not the same as running ads for or against a candidate...also CBS has the right to run whatever they want...they are not running PETA ads either...do you really think people watching the superbowl wanna see a commercial about a soccer mom killing a rabbit and having blood everywhere????.... what the hell is controversial about pro - drug war ads???....you cant be for drugs...what do want to do..run ads where they say ," hey everyone , shoot up..its great for you"..have you gone that far that no matter how bizzare the opposite side to bush is you will take it anyways???..anyway , anyhow that you can get out a message to kids not to do drugs..do it...you might think it wont be effective but even if it helps one kid its worth it... ive never quite seen anyone with the hatred for bush that you have...there is not one thing that this man has done in his life that you can give him any credit for...it's scary..im afraid one day you'll snap and we will see you on the news...

cash , i try to go by the rule that if i cant afford it i dont need it... its tough but it saves me money

What's the biggest thing you'll bring from the Philadelphia system? "I think what we're going to bring is an aggressive style of defense, very similar to what coach (Lovie) Smith did down in St. Louis. We want to be an aggressive, attacking style of defense as opposed to read and reacting. What we're going to try and do is be a very aggressive style of football team." one thing ive learned from coaching football and its the same on pretty much every level , you play a "read and react" or a "bend but dont break" style of football when you dont have the horses...if you play an agressive, attacking style of defense and the other team's offense has you beat in match ups you are gonna get killed...to pull of this switch off the bears better be planning on adding some quality free agents on defense...can you imagine jerry azumah in man coverages all day long against a guy like brett favre if the pass rushes were being picked up???

you do that as you get older i guess

could you imagine frank chasing little ozzie around the clubhouse...

he looks like james garner to me

he looks like james garner to me

yw.. actually when i typed it all up i was so mad at kw for his remarks on thomas i didnt feel a thing..adreniline is so cool

thats the way i feel...what did kenny have to gain by again blasting frank , this time on air??..then of course on the live call in afterwards all the sheeples , or kenny's disciples call in blasting thomas here is what i dont get...when thomas is talking and says something dumb his detractors say , why does he talk to the press , why dont he just shut up and play ball???..now , they are calling talk radio complaining because he is doing just that... what's it gonna take for this guy to get a fair shake with not only the press but our fans???..why would anyone even care if frank calls back ozzie or williams???...i could care less...my feeling is frank has the right after the way ozzie and KW have treated him this off season to show up the first day of ST and knock the piss out of both of them... all i care about is if frank can produce like he did in august of last year..anything else really is none of my business

speak your mind on espn radio???...they get fired

evidently, us

on zero...will get a shot to close but right now koch will go into ST as the closer and zero will fill a role around marte and pollitte...zero is similiar in delivery to scott sullivan..88-89 mph fastball with a killer change that moves away from lefties ala kieth foulke's.. on trades...says nothing is in the works and unless something unexpected comes up this will be the roster going in ST.. on rowand and harris...says he expect both to develop into great players..he says both have grinder mentalities...said that no one new who lee and ordonez where when they first came up and look at them.. on colon..said that was his biggest disappointment..he really felt bartolo was gonna resign with the sox..and him not signing caught us off gaurd on the upcoming season..he is hoping we are in contention at the mid way point..if we are he will then add to the team.. on person and other ST invitees...says he doesnt expect any loiaza's..he said when they looked a film on loiaza they say something special and new they could make him a winner...doesnt see that in person..he says person already has pitched sucessfully in the majors and we know what he can do..the question is can he rebound from injuries..if he can they expect him to do well for us.. on schoenweiss...feels he canbe another mark buehrle..says he has wanted shoenwiess since he took over as GM...he believes that cooper can teach him the cutter and improve his change and make him a winner.. on the cubs..says we cant match them dollar for dollar..they have more money and better fan support...was quick to point out after saying that , that the sox fans that do come out and support the team are as passionate as the come.. speaking of passion he said and that was the main reason for hiring guillen...that he has passion for the game and he loves white sox baseball and feels ozzie can instill that in our young players...especially harris and rowand.. on people questioning harris...said harris did great in the minors and he expects him to produce at this level... on doug menkavitz(sp?) saying the past 2 years , 1 to 25 , the sox had more talent then the twins but they were selfish and didnt play as a team...KW said DM was correct in that...we did have the better team on paper..said thats another reason we hired ozzie..that he could instill "white sox pride" in some of these players... on wally backman...says his firing wasnt politcal...said that he interviewed backman for 4 1/2 hours for the managerial job...and said he didnt fire backman..after he decided backman wasnt right for the job he turned him over to the minor leaguer directors (whoever they are) and they made the decision to let backman go....kenny also said that this is the last he wants to hear from backman on this and if wally doesnt stop it he will let the whole story out and will ruin any chance of him getting another job in baseball and on frank thomas...KW said he is mad at thomas because he has left messages for him and frank wont return his calls...suggestion by north (i think) was to trade thomas to detroit.. on trading frank thomas...KW said its not that simple..frank is a 10/5 man so he can veto any trade...plus you have to have a taker for frank and the trade also has to make sense for the sox to improve the team... surprisingly..nothing was asked about maggs and how he is doing after all the trade talks...but thats it in a nutshell...it took so long to type this someone probably beat me to it

kenny is on now...he's on his cell stuck in traffic

you should get free drinks for life
