QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 09:22 PM) I've seen Favre make many blocks, and I remember them because Madden whips out his boner when they happen. Exactly, point being how many times has he made those blocks put out like a WR like that.. None, so yes it was a chop block and yes it was a bad choice but nah, I wont completely blame Favre for that one. And good lord Sean Smith had a NASTY Interception tonight, look up the replay it was one of the best ive ever seen.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 05:40 PM) Don't tell me that one of the oldest active QBs with 2 decades of football experience doesn't know how to block or doesn't know that a chop block is physically dangerous. I don't know if he did it on purpose or not, but that's a damn dirty play. Yeah, I forgot how many times that guy has been split out wide like that. Thats the nature of the block a QB is taught how to make, I never said it wasn't a dirty play but that Favre was just put into a bad situation. Although it really doesn't matter to me at all what any of you think about the play anyways so ill leave it at that.

Hes not on the Sox anymore, who cares what he does

QUOTE (kev211 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 07:03 PM) The wait for CoDMW2 is taking it's toll on me. Yes, still a little over a month but soon it will be here

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 12:10 PM) As do I. I think the Wildcat will die out rather quickly once guys like Ray Lewis or LaRon Landry injure their star QB spreading out wide. Miami used the wildcat in two different games against the Ravens last season and no one was destroyed by any defensive player. At any rate, I think it would be highly unlikely that Ray Lewis as a middle linebacker has anything to do with a QB split out wide at WR. I dont know what the Vikings were doing, but thats not how Miami runs it so maybe they were just trying something new. The QB also isnt running down the field on a route either, so again, it should be ok. The only time Pennington ever did anything split out wide was go backwards to receive a pitch and then throw the ball.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 12:19 AM) I don't think he purposely intended to hurt him, but he did mean to throw a chopblock, which always has a high chance of hurting a player. That's why that type of block is illegal. So don't tell me he's innocent. If you throw a chopblock, you know the territory that goes with it. It's the preseason! There's no need for doing something illegal that could hurt another player. If it were a regular season game, I could understand it more b/c he's doing anything it takes to win. But this game didn't matter, so why go low on a guy on his blindside? dude, the only time QBs ever block is going low like that.. In the middle of the play going through his head was prolly not "Im gonna chop block this guy" Im not saying hes innocent, just saying that he didn't mean to hurt him and he prolly wasn't intent on doing a chop block. Its just the nature of the type of block hes use to adding in the fact he was split out like a WR. Either way, im not arguing that it wasn't wrong he was just put in a bad situation.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 11:24 PM) I was watching the game last night when it happened, and it pisses me off. I mean, it's the f***ing preseason, and Favre is making blindside chop-blocks like that? Go f*** yourself, Favre, you 40 year old b****. Stay retired. I'm not a Texans fan or anything, but that's bush league. Oh please, I wonder how many times Favre has been split out wide and asked to block like that. There is ZERO chance that Favre did that with the intentions of hurting Wilson.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 07:14 PM) Oh, well I can't speak to the size of it, as I haven't really watched ECW in months. I'm speaking solely of the black and silver look. Ok, well the "look" is pretty cool.. however, they made it like this XXL belt for when Henry was champion and never changed it back. Thats what looks goofy about it, if it was normal sized, it would look pretty nice.

QUOTE (thedoctor @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 07:19 PM) at the same time, kw's job to to put the best possible sox team on the field, not do favors for good guys. as soon as they traded him a bad sox team got worse. this strikes me as a more impulsive move than i'm used to seeing out of kw. Would getting some other players ABs to see what we may have for next season while being out of it for this season change that? There is no reason to have a 39 year old DH when were done.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 05:03 PM) I like that news. Does anyone else think the ECW belt is f***ing awesome? No its too big.. I cant believe they didnt change it after Henry was done with it. Either way, its way too big and looks goofy.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 02:37 PM) No one's going to beat this, the first response. SouthsideDon just beat it

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 05:57 PM) Because he would not get a ring if the Dodgers win, silly. (Apparently we will give him a ring if we win even though he will no longer be on our team when we win). Ahh thank you for making it clear for me.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 05:52 PM) KW knows that we will be facing the Dodgers in the World Series, and this way Thome will get a ring no matter which way the series goes. So why not just keep him then instead of giving him away?!?!?!

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 05:29 PM) We will miss his bat when the playoffs roll around....no question about it. I just hope we still have enough offense to bring another World Series championship to the south side this season. lolz Anyways, think of it as us getting Hynick for Thome and nothing for Contreras.. we shouldn't have gotten anything for either but hey, maybe he can be something.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 01:46 PM) Apparently the spinner title belt is going away and a replacement is coming, another thing wwe is doing right. Maybe they finally decided to switch some things up... I couldnt stand that belt So they: Got the belt fixed the tag team division into one titles and going smackdown becoming a solid show (still some problems) now just gotta fix the other 100 problems Where did you hear this? I HATE the spinner belt.. although, it doesn't even spin now anyways.. it still looks cartoonish

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 11:38 PM) I was just going to ask.. have we waived the white flag? More like throwing in the towel as we weren't planning on keeping either of them anyways and didn't effect our 2010 plans. I always viewed the white flag as selling off pieces we had use for still.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 06:36 AM) Your logic is pretty twisted. "Get players who perform." So if the players have a past success of quality performance before Kenny gets them and they start to under perform once Kenny does get them it's on Kenny? So if Peavy goes 5-15, 5.62 ERA next year that's on Kenny? I don't think so. Who is it on then.. When a team trades prospects for an expensive player who does not perform for the team its not going to come back to the GM who acquired him? Ive already said the players are number one, my logic is fine here you guys just don't read

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 07:20 AM) Um, the players he got aren't performing. How is that Kenny's fault? It can't be on anyone else BUT the players. That is flawed logic. No s*** dude, ive already said the order of blame was 1. Players 2. KW I was explaining to someone else WHY Kenny would get some blame here. And the fact that you say "Um, the players he got aren't performing. How is that Kennys fault?" What the f*** do you think the GM job is? No GM would ever get fired if that wasn't their fault.

This upcoming PPV just reeks of disappointment.. Yeah right, like John Cena is EVER going to say "I Quit".. Im going to avoid buying it to save myself to face palm of seeing Orton get Super Cena'd. And I agree, how the hell do they plan on keeping the strap on CM Punk. You cant have the Undertaker submit. Maybe have him catch a GTS and then get put in the Anaconda Vice but since he is "knocked out" Punk wins it? That seems very unlikely. Lastly, the Hart Dynasty is so far away from being in a PPV match with DX that's not even fathomable right now. There is no way to even get that ball rolling, especially since they are tied up with Legacy right now. Legacy is starting to get built up pretty well, its only a matter of time before they beat DX in some fashion.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 01:14 AM) No way it's on Kenny. Kenny filled a lot of holes, it's just players aren't nearly living up to their potential. Dude that's why it IS on Kenny.. His job is to get players who perform, the players aren't performing (not living up to their potential) so how can it be on anyone else? This may just be a bad stretch right now, they may start performing. Thats why im not saying KW needs to go or anything.. however, if there was blame to be placed it should be on the person who CHOSE the players to be on this team that aren't getting the job done. Ozzie is only asked to make dinner, he doesn't get to shop for the ingredients. And its not like we are a small budget team that doesn't have the resources to build a contending team either.

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 10:44 PM) AARON ROWAND IS BAD AT BASEBALL. Seriously people stop this. So who said to bring Rowand back? What exactly are people suppose to be stopping? Saying he was a lot better than Brian Anderson?

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 06:17 PM) Ozzie's handling of Brian was terrible, and there's a great chance Konerko doesn't come back after 2005 without the Thome trade. With the exception of 2007, which was a lost year for the Sox, Rowand's numbers have been very pedestrian. His handling of him may have been terrible but its still up to Brian to produce. He was given plenty of chances and did nothing with them. And while Rowands numbers may have been pedestrian they were still significantly better than anything that has been in CF since. a .270 avg and a .330 OBP with good defense is so pedestrian yet we haven't even gotten close to that since Rowand left. And im not saying you are wrong, im just saying its a glaring hole that only one man can fix, KW.

Is it Ozzies fault we trade Rowand for Thome and then had nothing but Brian Anderson for years holding out hope he would one day turn the light on? We had a CF problem for years, has nothing to do with Ozzie.
