lol, somebody's wasted again.

QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 12:58 AM) I wasn't trying to bash Chicago's market, just that LeBron has pretty much had a love affair with New York and I think as a free agent would go there. They could have the cap space, but its not like they would have a higher offer than New Yorks. I think there is a chance, although a small one. I still think hes New York bound though. I don't disagree. I just don't think Lebron to Chicago is a complete pipe dream, either.

QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 12:52 AM) The only difference is Jay Cutler didn't have a choice where he went, LeBron James most likely will. He seems pretty set on either staying in Cleveland or going to New York though. It's not likely to happen, but it's not inconceivable, either. It's not like Chicago is some tiny market, it's one of the biggest basketball markets in the country. Getting Bosh is much more plausible, but I mean you never know. If the cap space is there... hey, money is money.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 12:18 AM) This is the greatest pipedream of all time. It's not gonna happen, i would love to see it happen. You never know, a month or so ago people would've said Jay Cutler to the Bears was a pipe dream.

Focus on the "unreliable" aspect.

QUOTE (2OutRally @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 10:33 PM) I feel bad my sister is at this game, witnessing this disaster in person. Yeah I also have a friend at the game, and I was just telling her how awful it was going yesterday. Now she feels my pain.

This is a bona fide skullf***ing.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 08:07 PM) Dreaded leadoff walk. QUOTE (tommy @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 08:07 PM) Dreaded leadoff walk. lol.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 04:51 PM) As much as I agree with building through the draft, if you can trade a second round pick for a dominating player who is still young, you do it. Lets see, we can rely on Angelo's inept ability to draft a WR, and have more guys like Bradley, or you can have a known commodity who fills a HUGE hole on your team and instantly makes you a super bowl contender, all while still having a lot of picks that Angelo excels at (later in the draft). To me, if you can do a Boldin for Second Round Pick, you do it. Bradley wasn't inept, just a product of mediocre offensive coaching along with some bad luck (although Bradley was kinda dumb with the playbook)

Am I the only one that knew that wasn't real?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 04:39 PM) Which is the point. Take a little more time and get it right. They wanted this out to counter the "tea party movement". Anyway, I'm done. I don't know if they did or didn't do it for that reason, but things like this all get treated the same. If there was a big cross-country anti-WTO movement by leftist groups, the government would have eyes on that too. Last year the DHS was worried about bats*** crazy protesters at the RNC. It didn't have anything to do with the Bush administration being in charge, it's just that the gov't has a job to do.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 04:34 PM) Because when GWB issued it, they identified clearly defined groups. This report had a lot of the same things but were blanket statements with little identification of specific groups. But I'm sure I'm a liar or misinformed because 100 liberal blogs told you so. I didn't read that full report because I already know mostly everything that it would say, but the only thing done wrong in this report vs. any other one was a poor QC. What it said was accurate, but poorly worded. At work, whenever I write something I always stop to think "what if this somehow got leaked to the media?" Whoever was responsible for that report didn't do that carefully enough.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 04:00 PM) I'd be curious where the outrage was when the Bush DHS put out the report last time. There was none, and there shouldn't have been. It probably said mostly the same thing.

a. Someone obviously didn't tell her that DHS and other national agencies not only put these reports out all the time, but PUT THEM OUT FOR LEFT-WING EXTREMISTS TOO (it was in my e-mail inbox at work a good month before the right-wing one was). b. She doesn't have a clue about analysis or the point of putting those reports out, and she and any other Republicans making an issue out of this would do well to just stop speaking.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 03:48 PM) Actually I'll go the exact opposite. They string out the NFL Draft way too long. It needs to be cut down and teams don't need that much time in between picks, imo. I know they've already made some adjustments but as things drag out its pretty ridiculous that the first round takes as long as it does (than again, these franchises are making a big investment on these guys, however, with the months they have to do the homework I would think pretty much every team has lists to the extent that they know for the most part exactly who they are going to draft come draft day (although the ocassional surprise happens). So really the only reason you need time is for trades. I hate when teams know who they're going to pick but still use almost the full 15 minutes (or 10 minutes). When teams already have their first pick signed they should never, ever be using any more than 5 minutes.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Apr 23, 2009 -> 04:10 PM) I think Harvin would be bad for the Bears in the sense that they are still developing Hester into a WR. It's much harder to try and concentrate on two pretty raw WR's. If Hester was almost complete as a WR, I'd say the Bears should go after Harvin and have those two return kickoffs(I still don't get why Hester lost PR duties). Because he didn't do anything last year and frankly Danieal Manning > Hester in 2008.

Huh? Who would say that? Had his administration not gone down in a blaze of self-lit flames, meeting Mao would probably be his legacy.

QUOTE (Cubano @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 02:06 PM) Argentinian and Spanish (Spain) chorizos are good ones. I take it Cubans eat chorizo too?

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 12:39 PM) also, u can get non-picante(regular), picante, super picante. i love the last one Is that like the hot stuff? At the store I buy it at (kinda like an all-purpose ethnic food store) they just have the sweet and spicy kinds. The spicy isn't really that hot, how do you make it hot? Red pepper?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 12:34 PM) I know, personally, I drop out if I have said all I have to say and have nothing more to add. There's no need to beat a dead horse. If I am just repeating myself, then what's the point? I've said my peace, I move on. If a comment down the lines warrants further comment, I may chime in, but I may not. The majority of your anti-GOP posts stay in the Democrat thread, I don't really see how anybody would have a problem with that.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 12:28 PM) Forget it. I'll just stop posting about it. That will solve the problem because I'm the only one that keeps going. I was trying to avoid that. I don't want anybody to stop posting/arguing. I mean I get that it's a contentious issue, that's why we have this subforum. It's not just you arguing by the way, it's kind of the political hot topic of the week.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 12:28 PM) Cheapskate. Heh, he stole that straight off my Facebook status.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 12:24 PM) Contentious issues that are generating a lot of posts (eg torture memos) should be split out of Dem/ Rep threads and into their own discussion, imo. That's the current source of the heat, and it's both threads, and that's my thought as well. I would have split off and started a new thread a couple days ago but I'm at work, and that takes too long. Perhaps if someone started a thread on it, then everyone would gravitate towards it?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 12:22 PM) I think the solution is for you to ship Giordano's to the rest of us. That'll brighten the mood in here so rapidly... Maybe if you all lived in one place. The shipping is too expensive.
