QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 12:21 PM) Not to mention they would have made the playoffs by the current rules, I believe. Yes, they would have went to Detroit for the wild-card game.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 18, 2017 -> 03:01 PM) I do believe we have some wind! And Brooks said f*** the wind. Don't think Erin Hills is getting another US Open anytime soon

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 18, 2017 -> 04:21 PM) Indians sweep four in Minnesota. It's funny how people think the Indians and Cubs won't make the playoffs again . Nothing cures a WS hangover like the two worst divisions in baseball. That's where the 2006 White Sox got screwed

Always gets interesting when you have a lot of guys who have never won a big one

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Jun 18, 2017 -> 10:30 AM) List is out. Not sure why they'd protect Seabrook or Hossa, but I haven't paid much attention to the rules of this draft. https://www.secondcityhockey.com/2017/6/18/...ckhawks-players They both have no movement clauses. Would have to give permission to be left unprotected

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 18, 2017 -> 07:31 AM) Protected players list is due by 9am this morning. No word yet from the Hawks on who they will protect from the expansion draft. And it was delayed until 930. Sounds like the Hawks are trying to work a deal to shed the Kruger contract, losing TVR in the process

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 05:48 PM) Yeah, need some wind. The course is extremely long but you need more than that with these guys. Justin Thomas weighs 145 pounds and made the green with 2 3 woods on 18. It's 676 yards.

Easiest US Open ever

Anthem pulled out of the Ohio marketplace leaving numerous counties with zero options. It's very telling the damage Obama Care did that there was only option to begin with. Now Trump Care is gonna put the nail on the coffin. Both sides combined to make health care even way worse than it was.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 12:43 PM) Yeah, there was some talk that Floyd could tank in the first fight to ensure an additional 2 more paydays. We all know how much Floyd loves money, but it would be shocking if he gave up his undefeated record in trying to get those 2 extra paydays, that wouldn't be guaranteed,

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 04:22 PM) Is this really "really bad", was there additional punishment I'm unaware of? They already had a self imposed postseason ban last season. And we all have to pretend like the 2013 championship game never happened. So don't look for it on YouTube

Winter in Southern California and summers in Idaho

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 05:53 PM) Who are the big free agents this off season? Steph Curry and Kevin Durant

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 10:39 PM) What a game between Panama and Honduras. Honduras takes second half lead and starts to blatantly time waste. Of course karma bites them and panama gets the 90th min tie. Honduras is on life support now for a playoff spot. They needed to hold on to those 3 points. Huge result for the US, keeps them in 3rd place. Win their last 2 home games (tough one vs. Costa Rica) and they are basically in.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 03:25 PM) That seems like quite the gamble to take, especially in a non revenue sport. I think they would be more likely to take that gamble in a non revenue sport because it would be much less scrutinized and discussed. A Pac-12 football player with the same history would be brought up by every media outlet out West.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 01:26 PM) I think it is safe to say he wouldn't have. But then again, maybe he plays independent league ball instead? I think he still would have, college coaches love to give skilled players a second chance. Maybe he starts out at a JC or CC, but a transfer to a big school like that is entirely possible. It's not like there are pending charges, he committed a crime, the law punished him and that's over with.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 03:06 PM) It's pretty deplorable what he did and it his age (IMO) he should have been tried as an adult. You know what you're doing sexually at 15 and you certainly know that a 6 year old is off limits. That said, it shouldn't preclude him from getting a job in baseball. But the PR will be so bad for any team that drafts him I don't think he's worth anything but a late round player with a "we're confident he's paid his debt to society" sort of thing. But can you imagine if he re-offends? That team would be a PR nightmare. The law disagrees in the US, see the statutory rape laws

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 10:30 AM) Amazing...all of big basketball fans I know barely watched the playoffs at all. It must be the casual fans packing in or I just surround myself with my own "bubble" of people. I watched about 75% of the Finals, and that was probably more NBA basketball than I watched from October-May.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 03:58 PM) The NBA is becoming more and more like European soccer, even though it has a salary cap. The draft is supposed to make it be different than European soccer, so the best young players can't be bought by the same clubs. But so many draft picks bust while the Warriors nailed 3 picks in 4 years. Add in the Curry injury concerns that led to his medium sized contract and here we are. The NBA also tried to prevent it by letting players sign the biggest deals with their own teams, but that prevents a lot of game changing free agents from ever being available. Other than Lebron and Durant who make so much money off the court, they can pass up those huge max deals.

Lost a little respect for Durant seeing his celebration: http://deadspin.com/kevin-durant-defeated-by-beer-1796056172

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 09:04 AM) Unanimous decision from the Warriors to skip the White House visit FAKE NEWS!!! I bet the Warriors don't go, but this appears to be 2017 internet reporting at its best. One person tweets it and everyone jumps on it like it's official news. Less than 12 hours after winning the title, I bet they are all still drinking or too passed out to have even had a vote yet.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 11:03 AM) Yeah, have to agree here. Even if 90% of the viewers walk away shaking their head at his lunacy, that 10% who like his ideas and would like to subscribe to his newsletter is what you've got to worry about. His whole persona was more important to him recently than the ability to see his own kids. In his recent custody trial, his lawyer tried playing his behavior off as a gimmick from an entertainer, but Jones made sure to forcefully denounce that interpretation and say he's 100% behind all of his own nonsense. I always wondered about these types of people. It's not that he wakes up every morning and actually believes in this stuff, it's more that he's a professional troll and this is how he stays relevant and gets paid.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 07:28 AM) A guy I worked with at Blockbuster when I was 18 and went to freshman year of college with before he got kicked out is going to ask me to be in his wedding today. I know it because he hinted at it on Facebook about a month ago and I thought to myself "what in the f***". I have not spoken with him since 2004. We weren't ever particularly close, though I think he thought the friendship was rock solid. Regardless, we haven't even SPOKEN in thirteen years. Obviously I'm going to say no, but MAN is it going to be awkward. And he refuses to say what he wants via text or Facebook Messenger and wants to talk on my lunchbreak today. Ugh. That's awkward, has he not made any other friends in the past 13 years?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:55 PM) Was uncharacteristicly lazy tonight...I mean he's still LeBron honestly, but got outhustled on a number of plays, allowed himself to be forced into terrible shots in the post, and didn't really force the issue until the waning moments of the game, as if he had $ bet on the Cavs +9.5 or something. I get what you are saying and noticed a little of it, but it's funny how he can be lazy while putting up 41/13/8 on 19-30 shooting.
