QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 13, 2010 -> 10:49 PM) I guess when I hear "franchise player" I consider it to mean one of the best players on the team. I think guys like Ogden and Pace. I would consider a guy "solid" if he started for 5 years. Might just be difference on how we are using the words. Well Left Tackle, Quarterback, and Cornerback are really the only "franchise player" positions in terms of where you need a cornerstone guy.. however, ide say that anyone taken in round 1 needs to at bare minimum be a solid contributor to your team for the length of his contract.. Anything less, and its a bust

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 13, 2010 -> 11:03 PM) Bust = Raiders making Gallery a Guard. meh, its hard to call a pretty good player a bust.. at least he has contributed to their team unlike Jamarcus Russell.. now THAT was a bust..

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 13, 2010 -> 04:46 PM) A tournament would guarantee the best team in the country wins the prize of being called the best. lol, yes every playoff in sports history has had the best team win.. The BCS guarantees that 2 of the best 3 teams at LEAST are playing for a National Title.. all a playoff does is make the regular season slightly less meaningful and gives ANY team a chance to get hot and win a National Title.. I prefer the current system where you have to pretty much be flawless to get that Title game..

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 13, 2010 -> 04:32 PM) At least we'd be guaranteed a chance to know whether they could stand up to a top 5 team, and if they could, they'd still have a shot at the tropy. We had that chance last year and they dropped the ball.. There is just no way that Boise could beat Nebraska, Oregon, Ohio State in consecutive weeks.. a tournament kills their chances at ever getting a National Title..

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 13, 2010 -> 03:03 PM) A tourney would make it easier for non-traditional BCS schools to get a shot at a national title. Uh no it wouldn't.. A tourny is the dumbest idea ever, unless you wanna see the same teams playing for a national title every year.. at least with the current system a team like Boise or TCU has a chance.. with a tourny there is no way they would ever get to a title game..

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 12, 2010 -> 10:52 PM) No chance in hell the Heat get to 72 let alone 70. That being said, they're still the best team in the league and beat the Lakers in 6 in the finals. Bulls make it to the eastern conference finals but lose to those assholes. And how exactly is there no chance in hell that happens when Lebron by himself in Cleveland was good enough for 60 win teams? If they really want 73, itll be done..

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Oct 12, 2010 -> 10:05 AM) BioShock 2 is completely skippable. It's almost exactly the same as Bioshock except the storyline is lame and the world isn't new and interesting anymore. I agree, but I got BioShock 2 from Gamestop for like $15 so it wasn't a big deal.. I felt that the ending of both games were a little off, but for gameplay and looks I enjoyed it.. I do wish BioShock 2 would have had a little different feel to it, it was pretty much rehashed BioShock with some new things.. I ended up just starting to harvest the little sisters because it was annoying that after you adopted one you had to wait for them to find two people to save them..

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Oct 12, 2010 -> 11:22 PM) You are right. They will do something. Pay arb raises and sign fillers. There's your something. Nope, theyll do more

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Oct 12, 2010 -> 08:27 PM) And Moss is still much faster and is better at WR than Tillman is at CB. Also Moss's WR skills haven't diminished as much as people would like to think. Yeah I don't know what that's about.. Moss looked pretty good last night

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 12, 2010 -> 01:19 PM) It's called raises in arbitration and with other contracts. it doesn't matter those raises aren't going to completely take over all that money that comes off the books.. KW will not let AJ, Konerko, and Jenks go and not do something with that money.. its just not going to happen.. especially when you consider they have been crying poor for years and you still see acquisitions like Rios (his ENTIRE contract).. Manny.. they were interested in Damon.. Don't believe anything they say about not having money, they will do something because they do every year even when they say they don't have the money..

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Oct 12, 2010 -> 12:08 PM) Now I'm seeing 3-6, initial reports I saw were season ending but most likely just speculation. I just hope they are all out so Miami can beat up on them Sunday.. it would be awesome if Rodgers couldn't play as well

QUOTE (joeynach @ Oct 11, 2010 -> 11:38 PM) I think when the sox committed to pay Jackson something like $2M for the rest of 2010, $8.3M for 2011, and also committed $4M for 1 month of Manny to this payroll that our offseason was going to be very limited. I got the impression that that was our off season spending right there, instead of spending on the 2011 payroll the sox took a shot at 2010 bumped payroll in the 2nd half. That being said i expect the White Sox off season to be very quiet. Most likely AJ, PK, and Bobby are gone, its possible Putz and Vizquel come back because they are cheap. Your catcher is Castro and his $1.2M option, your 3B is Morel/Vizquel, your 1B is Viciedo, and your RF/DH combo is Quentin/Teahen. And with all that your Payroll is still about $95M. oh yeah right there is zero chance that the sox let AJ, Konerko, and Jenks go and do not use that money to do something..

I am completely bored with all of my games so I bought Bioshock from the games on demand section and man, that game is freakin awesome.. I am ashamed I had never gave it a try before.. I feel like im about to beat it since ive been playing the s*** out of it, and will most certainly be going to get Bioshock 2 to hold me over until Black Ops

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 10, 2010 -> 01:24 PM) And the only reason they win 73 is that once they're to 73 they start resting people. exactly.. you know they will be gunning for that 73

Miami will win 73 games and the title

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Oct 9, 2010 -> 07:55 AM) Yep agreed. It's a shame they'll never go back to that considering WWE's PG rating etc. Undertakers too old anyways now for that.. Also, the best Undertaker look was mid to late 90's Undertaker when he still had the purple gloves and boots, was pale, and had his hair more wet and hung over his face..

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 8, 2010 -> 09:09 AM) Don't worry, one day she will turn 40 as well, and your dream will come true yeah but then ill be 40 and I wont be feelin it by then

QUOTE (The Critic @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 08:06 PM) So this is how TNA chooses to begin their BIG LIVE SPECIAL? A horrifically boring abduction scene with Abyss and Dixie? Yikes. Awful. LOL! I remember when E use to do stuff like that

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Oct 8, 2010 -> 03:03 AM) I agree. My sister is 22 and I'm 24. I think 22 is too young for me probably because of that. I only go for the older ladies. In fact just met a nice one last week that I hope to hang out with again. ive always wanted to bang a 40 year old.. sadly, i have a girlfriend now and that dream is on hold

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 09:10 PM) Any chance Gardy loses his job for once again failing to get that team to the next level?

Man I don't know how some of you can do it.. I have a 23 year old sister.. I don't think I could ever date/do anything with a girl who is younger than her just because it feels weird to me for some reason..

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) Glad someone else here has some sense. All of this "respect" for the twins is downright sickening. I hate the yankees just as much as everyone else, but I just hate the twins more. f*** the twins. I hope the yanks put up about ten runs on porn 'stach man tonight. Yeah, its pathetic for anyone that is a Sox fan to be rooting for the Twins to win the World Series.. If you like the way their organization is run so much, go become a Twins fan..

Uh, this is very necessary.. f*** the twins, I hope they get swept..

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Oct 6, 2010 -> 09:39 PM) That's the NFL Draft. But they hit more than most teams that's for sure. and you're wrong anyways, they hit very little.. its just the perception people have when the Patriots are brought up.. were talking about a team that has had multiple 1,2,3 round picks over the past 4 years and have very little in terms of impact players from said drafts.. yeah yeah they are a good team, whatever I still hate them.. but they are not the best drafters that's for damn sure..

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Oct 6, 2010 -> 12:42 PM) Im saying Im sick of hearing oh they have the right idea with draft picks their team has so much depth when really thats not the case. The defense is horrible and Tate is a nice return man but outside of Welker their WR's arent good and their running game is avg. Pretty much its Tom Brady and an O-Line thats making the team tick. Thank you man They get WAY too much credit.. for a team that seemingly has 10+ draft picks every year they have not done very much at all with them.. Miami put up 400 yards on them Monday in a 41-14 loss.. if their special teams didn't crap their pants, they would have won.. and Moss didn't have any catches because Vontae shut his ass down.. hes becoming one of the best in the league
