Gunnar Bentz releases a statement telling his side of the story. His version actually sounds very believable. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/gunnar-bentz-...&soc_trk=ma

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 19, 2016 -> 05:17 PM) I really am not too hot on the Hawks this year. Vesey would've helped a lot, but I mean, outside of Toews/Kane/Panarin/Anisimov/Kruger/Hossa, you have 6 guys in Panik, Motte, Schmaltz, Desjardins, Hartman, and your other center (Tootoo or Rasmussen) who are either not going to produce much or are unknowns. Vesey is just as much of an unknown as Motte and Schmaltz. Barring a major injury, the Hawks are gonna make the playoffs. Question is will they find any more players to produce before then to make them a real contender. And will they avoid a super tough first round matchup unlike last year.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 19, 2016 -> 03:06 PM) Montenegro, I believe dual citizenship Go play with the big dogs, instead of being the top dog yourself. Can't blame him, it's the way of the modern NBA.

Nikola Mirotic is Spanish?

QUOTE (Tony @ Aug 19, 2016 -> 10:49 AM) Again, all depends on expectation. Vessey is valuable because of the contract he will sign, not so much about talent. Which is why the Hawks are doing everything in their power to sign him. That contract gives the Hawks a huge boost. Absolutely. I just hope everyone keeps that in mind with their expectations for him. There's been very similar players who have gone this route and crashed and burned.

At this point, it's almost a guarantee Vesey is a bust, right? The hype machine is spinning out of control

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 19, 2016 -> 08:26 AM) Fuller considered to be out several weeks now. With that, Bears are meeting with Antonio Cromartie today. The day cares and nannies of Chicago have their fingers crossed!

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 18, 2016 -> 03:10 PM) They were hinting at surgery this morning. I dont think he is in the Bears future at this point. He isnt one of their guys and he hasnt showed much of anything. This regime doesnt play around too much when you have those to descriptions next to your name. Such a bummer, there seemed to be so much potential after that first season. It may have all just been thanks to Peanut on the other side.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 18, 2016 -> 01:05 PM) And Serbia beats USA in 5 sets in Women's Volleyball. Incredible match. I watched Serbia beat Russia the other night, they looked real good.

Karma's a b**** A Man Who Says God Punishes Gays with Natural Disasters Had His Home Destroyed in the Flood

So they destroyed a gas station toilet and refused to pay for damages until the gas station attendant pulled a gun on them. Awesome.

Matt Gutman ‏@mattgutmanABC 23m23 minutes ago #BREAKING Brazil sources: #RyanLochte + 3 swimmers fabricated robbery story. Video shows swimmer "fighting" w/security at gas station @GMA

Ryan Lochte's two swimming buddies were pulled off a plane home and not allowed to leave Brazil. The plot thickens...

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Aug 17, 2016 -> 09:40 AM) This Lochte story is so very bizarre... http://deadspin.com/rio-police-are-casting...of-b-1785389540 It seems pretty apparent now that he made it all up. Although I love that Brazil demanded his passport be seized immediately so he can't leave the country. Except he's already in the US.

There are a lot of empty seats at this track stadium. Seems to be a recurring theme at these Olympics.

Sorry Hope, but the cowards win again and are in the final

Julius Peppers, Clay Matthews, James Harrison, and Mike Neal will be suspended indefinitely if they don't meet with the NFL before August 25 about the Al Jazeera PED report. Roger Goodell owns the NFLPA.

All I can think about when I read this thread: Homer: "Aww, the Denver Broncos?!" Marge: "I think owning the Denver Broncos is pretty good." Homer: "Yeah, yeah." Marge: "Well, explain to me why it isn't." Homer: "(sighs) You just don't understand football, Marge."

Cubs Apologize For Playing "Smack My b**** Up" As Aroldis Chapman Exited Game Oops!

Wow, I didn't realize how bad A-Rod was this year. He was solid last season, so I assumed he was at least serviceable in 2016. -1.2 fWAR says differently.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 14, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) The crazy thing about Bolt is that he was terrible out of the blocks. He was last out of them. Then he started striding and passed everyone like they were standing still. His 40 time would keep him out of the NFL Draft. The way he just gets faster in the second half of the race is amazing. He does it every single time.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 12, 2016 -> 05:23 PM) Thats also the style the US mens team plays, as well as almost any undermanned soccer team on the planet you bum Apparently there are cowards in every World Cup, every Euro, every Copa America, every EPL weekend, every La Liga weekend. The better team lost, yes. But you gotta step up and beat them , you didn't. It happens .

Didn't Cuban try to bid on the Cubs and immediately get shot down by the MLB owners?

Patrick Roy suddenly ups and quits as coach and VP of the Avalanche. No word from the team yet. I'm bummed, he was highly entertaining and it's not like they were getting better under him. Who else will pull a goalie with ten minutes left in the game?!?!?
