Mr. BEGOOD isn't gonna like this. :begood

Not sure if you heard about this. Kournikova News I saw it and thought you might like to know.

Great scott!!! How could you forget this?!

You guys rule!!!

I have to point this out, it's just too obvious. I don't think that we have anyone name neil cotts, but there is someone who goes by the name of Neal Cotts. I think you're starting to lose it Jas. I've seen a few of these lately.

check the porn thread in off-topic and the idiot cubs fan of the day in pale hose talk i pretty sure it's in each of those

What about the people who use it for their avatars. They should be told to get that off of there or banned IMO. That really isn't what I come here for...I have other places for that.

Uh, there's gonna be a tie. Where's that option.

If Vick were playing I'd be more likely to switch between the MNF game and baseball. But he's not, so it's non-stop baseball action for me.

I don't know if anyone posted this already and I'm too lazy to look. McKeon quote on Guillen and gives the low down on some of the managerial candidates. Positives and Negatives. Here it is. McKeon sings Guillen's praises By Teddy Greenstein Tribune staff reporter October 12, 2003, 10:05 PM CDT MIAMI -- Florida Marlins manager Jack McKeon had to laugh Sunday after being asked if his 39-year-old third-base coach, Ozzie Guillen, might be too young to manage the White Sox. "Hey, I'm too old and here's a guy who's too young?" said McKeon, 72, who has a daughter older than Guillen. "No, there's no age barrier to this stuff. You can be 80 or you can be 30—it's no big deal. I think he's a very capable young man. I highly recommend the guy, definitely. "He communicates well. He's good with the Latin players. He's a very knowledgeable baseball man. He's colorful, a fun-loving guy. He keeps everybody loose. Sometimes you need to put a muzzle on him, but that's his nature. He's a very talkative, hyper guy." And that's why so many people in Chicago love him. One of those, by all accounts, is White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. That's a good connection to have. And perhaps it's why a source said Guillen has been promised an interview once the Marlins' postseason ends. A look at the reputations of candidates, culled from interviews with people in the game: Cito Gaston: Guided the Blue Jays to World Series titles in 1992 and '93 but hasn't managed since 1997. Many believe Sox GM Ken Williams idolizes the 59-year-old Gaston. But Williams might have a challenge convincing Reinsdorf to green-light the move. Pluses: Won it all—twice. Works well with veterans, giving them space. Handles egos. Has close ties to Roberto Alomar, whom the Sox would like to re-sign. Has a great reputation for stealing signs, a la bench coach Joe Nossek. Tight with Williams. Minuses: Might be even more laid-back than the fired Jerry Manuel—and critics say he has less charisma. Was hesitant to use his bench in Toronto, which led to discontent among non-starters. Has been out of the game since 2001, when he lost his job as the Blue Jays' hitting coach. Said to be reluctant to manage a team with young players. Terry Francona: Was regarded as the game's next manager while working his way through the Sox's system from 1992 to 1995. Fired in Philadelphia after posting a .440 winning percentage from 1997-2000. Currently the A's bench coach. Pluses: Everyone raves about his upbeat, self-effacing personality. Great experience for a man of 44—played for five teams (including the Cubs) and worked as a coach or minor-league manager for six. After enduring four years in Philly, can handle negative Sox fans. Knows the Sox culture and many in the front office. Minuses: Although Phillies players loved him, some contend the inmates were running the asylum. As a young big-league manager—37 when he got the job—he made some mistakes with lineups. Got blamed when erratic bullpen blew leads. Ozzie Guillen: Played shortstop on the South Side for 13 seasons. After brief stints with Baltimore, Atlanta and Tampa Bay, joined Jeff Torborg's staff in Montreal and went with him to Florida. Pluses: Fan favorite, media favorite and believed to be a Reinsdorf favorite. Fiery, chirpy personality would provide a contrast to Manuel's easy-going style. Venezuela native would be a hit with the Latin players, a la Tony Pena, who had a tremendous impact in Kansas City. Would bring the fun back to the South Side. Minuses: No managerial experience. Has never handled a pitching staff. Would have to lean heavily on coaches such as Nossek and Don Cooper. Might rankle players with honest assessments/negative quotes. Former teammates such as Frank Thomas might resent having to answer to him. Then again, Thomas might not be back. Buddy Bell: Indians bench coach had little managerial success in Detroit and Colorado, going a combined 345-462 in his six seasons. Served as a minor-league instructor for the Sox from 1991-93. Pluses: Extremely well liked in baseball circles; lives up to his first name. Teaches the game well. Well acquainted with Sox players and AL Central foes after working in Cleveland. Knows Reinsdorf. Minuses: Critics say he didn't handle adversity well in Detroit and Colorado, flipping out when his teams went south. Bad records can't be completely overlooked, even if talent level was minimal.

Unlike Heather I will be supporting my Redbird Basketball team this year. Hopefully, they won't embarrass ISU off the field/court like the football team did. I saw something about a meet the players thing scheduled for this Thursday but that's about it. Nothing much. New coach this year after a real bad year last year although they did finish better than they started. And most of the players are returning, so that could be good...or not. Who knows? Go Redbirds and Go Illini!!!

haha :sosasucks

Let's hope that Neal Cotts has the ability to swing that trade into our favor. And if he can have a 15 win season sometime soon, I'd say that would do the trick. how soon?

what's that supposed to mean?

Homestar Runner is hilarious. The Cheat isn't even in my top 5 characters from that website. Not that that's bad, they're just all great.

and one more cause it's been awhile

Here ya go.

I'm waiting for the time when Willie Harris is an everyday starter. I always wanted to do what Crede's Crew was doing for Willie. We'd be the "Willie Watchers". But do to the fact that me and my friends don't live in the Chicago area, we'd only be able to make it to select home games. I luuuuuuuuuv Willie Harris.

I'll keep your grandmother in my prayers Murcie.

The draft order is up and I got the first pick, but I don't know who to take.

You forgot Purdue. That makes 7 teams. Big Ten almost always has a good record in bowl games.

How long have they been airing that Rafael Palmeiro commercial for Viagra? Everytime that Sox pitcher gives up the home run at the beginning it brings a frown to my face.

That's a great idea. Anyway to get Castillo, I'm for it.

Fact or Fiction: Magglio Ordonez will start the 2004 season with the Chicago White Sox. Fact, Magglio is the White Sox franchise player, Kenny even mentioned his name as a grinder in the press conference, he's not going anywhere, for now. Fact or Fiction: Bartolo Colon will be a member of the Yankees in 2004. Fact, sorry to say it but Bartolo's taking too long to make a decision and the Yankees, being the Yankees, are the favorites to pick him up with Roger leaving and the rest of their staff not getting any younger. Fact or Fiction: Jeremy Reed will make the White Sox out of spring training next season. Fiction, Jeremy will make the White Sox out of spring training in 2005, not 2004. He still needs some extended time in AAA before he's ready. Fact or Fiction: Ozzie Guillen will be the next manager of the Chicago White Sox. Fiction, I think that it's looking more and more like Cito Gaston is gonna be the manager, but the Sox will bring Ozzie over as the third base coach. Fact or Fiction: Jerry Manuel will be employed (in some capacity) by a major league ballclub next season. Fact, Jerry loves baseball, and he will be a coach somewhere next year. He is a good guy and he will get his chance again someday. I wish him the best of luck. Fact or Fiction: Joe Borchard should no longer be considered a prospect. Fiction, there's a reason this guy was highly touted for the Sox for so long. Hope he can finally figure it out. Too much talent not to. Fact or Fiction: Robbie Alomar will be a member of the 2004 White Sox. Fiction. Hello Luis Castillo. Okay, that one is more from my heart. I really want Castillo here. Fact or Fiction: The White Sox will be the 2004 AL Central Champions. Fact, with the Twins losing some players to free agency, the Indians still a year or two away from being a contender, and the Tigers being the Tigers, the only team in the division that can contend will be the Royals. Tony Pena's magic will wear off after a year and they will be considered a fluke. The Sox WILL win the weakest division in baseball.

Just watching the movie "Made" and realized it's f***ing hilarious. Vince Vaughn is the man.
