Djokovic upset in the 2nd round in Melbourne by a wild card qualifier from Uzbekistan. Biggest upset ever?

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jan 18, 2017 -> 03:05 PM) Now Second City Hockey is suggesting trading for Sharp. How does everyone feel about that? Those multiple recent concussions are a bit worrisome to me.

With all his struggles scoring goals this season, Toews still let Kero have the empty netter.

And despite all the bad signs, they are still 2nd in the West somehow. Although it does seem like the tides have turned and the East is suddenly the much stronger conference. I have no faith in the Hawks winning multiple playoff series, yet none of the other West teams really scare me either.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 05:30 PM) Bluff called. On Saturday he will announce that he has waived extradition. Then on Monday the new President will pardon him as thanks for helping him win the elction.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 10:43 AM) I'm going to guess the person who claims he "hates people" isn't going to be the rah rah energetic guy on film. But maybe I'm wrong, haha. Maybe littlehurt has a switch that he can flip. Haha, yeah. When I know people and am comfortable, I can be as outgoing as the best of them, but in a new situation, not so much. Maybe I''d step up in the clutch due to the excitement, but the odds are not in my favor.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 08:54 AM) I'm thinking of upgrading gyms. The one I go to now is cheap and a pain to go to after I get off work and walk the dog, so I only go on weekends, which feels pointless. This other big one if right outside my subdivision and I know I would go 4 or 5 times a day, but maybe a tad expensive. How much does everyone pay for their memberships? I'm thinking I would be willing to pay $80 a month but this place maybe higher. I just go to the local fitness center that's down the block for $25 a month. The workout equipment is a little lacking but there is a indoor track, pool, basketball, racquetball so that makes up for it. They just opened one of those huge FFC gyms nearby. It looks impressive, but I think it's almost $70/month, with a $400 enrollment fee, and an annual fee. Hard to justify the massive jump in price if I probably don't need the extra amenities.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 05:45 PM) Why do you think you despised Favre? Just because you were younger? Actually, yes. That's exactly what I was thinking about when I typed it. When you are young, it's a lot harder to see past the green helmet. Although I doubt I would be as positive about him as I am Rodgers, he just seemed different.

I always despised Favre with a passion, but I just love watching Rodgers play despite that ugly, ugly, ugly uniform he wears.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Jan 16, 2017 -> 11:44 AM) My wife was on Wheel of Fortune a few years ago. She did well and won about $11,000 but another guy won more than that on the one puzzle he solved. Stupid Express Mostly paid for our trip to Greece though. So jealous. I watch that show with my kid every single day now, I would love to be on it. They had a casting call in Rosemont recently, but I heard it was a madhouse and I hate people, so I didn't even go over there.

I saw this on Twitter, the AFC has just been dominated by 3 quarterbacks. The only off year was due to one dumb play by Rahim Moore. AFC Super Bowl Quarterbacks 2004: Brady 2005: Brady 2006: Roethlisberger 2007: Manning 2008: Brady 2009: Roethlisberger 2010: Manning 2011: Roethlisberger 2012: Brady 2013: Flacco 2014: Manning 2015: Brady 2016: Manning 2017: Brady or Roethlisberger

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Jan 15, 2017 -> 10:17 PM) Refs took two points off the board and the team you know the league would rather match up with NE moves on. NFL can be really shady sometimes. LOL. I see your point, but that was textbook holding, easy call. I had hopes for the Chiefs putting up a fight in Foxboro, but such a piss poor performance from their defense tonight.

Steelers offense just straight dominating so far, Chiefs are lucky they have stepped up in the red zone.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 1, 2017 -> 10:36 PM) Rodgers is the best QB ever

Couldn't the Cowboys attempt a free kick after that fair catch to end the half? I know it was far as f*** but might as well try. And why did the Packers even kick the ball? Just waste 3 seconds and kneel to not risk anything bad happening.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 14, 2017 -> 06:29 PM) Devin Hester you are ridiculous I thought he was done, he has had a hell of a game.

That was probably the most exciting playoff game so far this year and that says a lot. Tonight probably won't be much better either. Injuries are a big blame I think, so many teams are just either missing key players or their best guys were hurt.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 14, 2017 -> 11:19 AM) I don't know about that. He won by 80k total votes across three states and got smashed in the popular vote. Absent Comey's letter, Clinton probably wins. Absent the 30 years of "scandal" around her, she probably wins. Anyone else who wasn't as disliked as Clinton going into it almost definitely wins. I've always said the exact same thing, she lost because she is so disliked, especially with many women. Didn't she also stop campaigning in a couple of those swing states? That strategy backfired big time.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jan 13, 2017 -> 07:51 PM) Back in October my wife and I went to the Price is Right when we were in LA. I ended up being called to "Come on Down", won the bidding, got on stage for a game and won a TV, elliptical, Marc Jacobs handbags, a telescope, and a home vending machine. It was really fun. The episode aired today and of course as I'm in a room full of 20 coworkers ready to see it...right when it was supposed to start, on comes some breaking news report about a police probe that blocks the entire 1 hour show. It was pretty disappointing because I hadn't told any of them anything in the past 3 months except that my wife and I went to see the price is right, it was fun, and that the episode would be on the air on 1/13. Oh well, at least its online. Anyways....I thought this might be an interesting thread for people to share about times they were on game shows, tv shows, or have won contests. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but did they give you a tax bill on all that stuff? I also wondered how that worked

This whole China buying players for outrageous sums is starting to get out of hand. I know Costa is a head case but if they actually buy the best team's top striker, that's crazy.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 14, 2017 -> 08:05 AM) Uh, if it were that simple, sure. I hate when people say s*** like this because it undermines everything I've accomplished, and frankly, it's bandied about way too often for my liking these days. I know plenty of straight white males that are dismal failures because their white privilege didn't help them accomplish much in life. While I'm positive it didn't hurt to be a white male, it didn't get me a degree, or a career, or a good marriage...it also didn't stop me from getting arrested and thrown in jail for graffiti vandalism when I was but a young buck, either. Edit: Point is, I know plenty of straight white MISERABLE people. I'm not loving life simply because of that as you are alluding too. Sorry dude. If you want to be a cool white guy, self depreciation is the only way to go.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 13, 2017 -> 12:37 PM) Hawks interested in Landeskog and van Riemsdyk I keep hearing about how the Hawks top bosses won't allow any high 2017 draft picks to be traded because they are hosting the draft and want the excitement. That would suck if that prevents them from really improving the team.

Chiefs-Steelers moved from 12:05 to 7:20 PM on Sunday due to ice storm

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Jan 13, 2017 -> 01:38 PM) Could you flesh that out? What do you mean by "barely even covered anymore?" The ACA requires health care plans to provide a threshold level of care that previously didn't exist. Is it just higher deductible? Higher premium? Doctors not accepting the exchange policies? All the minimums are met but it's a complete joke as to what used to be offered. -Many companies just closed their doors. Most of the few left refuse to offer individual plans in this area. -Of the couple companies that still offer policies, one requires you to only see their personal doctors that work for their company. The other major provider took all the top hospitals and doctors off their network available for individual plans. -Between the skyrocketing premiums and limited networks, trying to purchase a PPO plan is a giant waste of money, it's only worth it to buy an HMO plan with minimal coverage so you don't get fined by the government. If it wasn't for my kids, that fine would sound mighty appealing as opposed to my insurance premiums.
