Is this a catch all thread???

Fun 3rd period so far. We were overdue for a good game 7 after the West 2nd round.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 26, 2016 -> 07:26 PM) Stamkos is back for game 7. Without him they would be getting out shot 27-8 instead of 27-10. Only one goal game though, just hang around and wait for a lucky bounce.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 26, 2016 -> 06:15 PM) That shocks me. Mom and dad just sent you packing to a good college and said, "Deal with the costs?" For me, growing up in Chicago, later suburbia, any of my friends whose parents had a lot of cold, hard, cash definitely paid for their kids' college. In my case I had summer jobs and stuff and paid for all my incidentals, but yes I was spoiled by daddy in that regard. Free room, board, tuition, books and even made sure I had some money in the bank.Like chisox said I think he felt it was his responsibility to get me through and yes hoped I could pass it down. Now being a successful businessman and kind of a mean guy, not a patsy, he monitored what was going on with my grades, etc. And he made it clear no five year plan for me. Four years baby. I think as long as he felt he wasn't taken advantage of, five, six year plan, he'd dish out the costs of college. If you look up hypocrisy in the dictionary. ..

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 26, 2016 -> 06:20 PM) They replace him with Jurickson Profar? Not too shabby Can you replace a guy on the roster when suspended?

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 26, 2016 -> 03:31 PM) Moustakas out for the season with a torn ACL. Happened on the play where he & Gordon collided. Curious to see how much of an impact that one play has within the coming weeks & their season as a whole. That's the only thing Gordon hit all year. (Stolen from Pianowdki on Twitter) My DFS weather sources say this game will probably be PPD very soon.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 26, 2016 -> 02:34 PM) I'm thinking more about the character of those athletes that they recruited. How they seemed to value athletic ability above everything. That's already been proven a while ago. Talent wins football games and those coaches get paid way too much money to not win. Every team has guys that may be considered low character according to some. Every large group of students on a college campus has a few kids like that. But Briles didn't get fired for recruiting low character guys. He was fired because those guys were accused of committing horrific crimes and Briles went after the victims and din't even think about disciplining his own players.

Babysitter Friday so going out for drinks. Pool w/ kids Sunday morning, maybe a quick 9 holes then a BBQ w/ friends at our house in the evening. BBQ at my parents on Monday.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 18, 2016 -> 07:47 PM) Baylor is proving your point I stand corrected. Art Briles = he gawn Good for Baylor, he built that program up for nothing, it's not easy to just fire him. It really makes you wonder what they uncovered in their investigation.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 26, 2016 -> 08:12 AM) St Louis all of a sudden couldnt do much. San Jose's PP just destroyed them. That PP is fun to watch when it's on. They know what they are doing. Brent Burns is a beast and Pavelski is incredible with his redirects.

So after all that, this Sharks core finally made a Stanley Cup Final. I don't know why they only had 96 points in the regular season, they looked like a damn good team in the playoffs. Either they did a great job of shutting down Tarasenko or he was bought out by the Russian mob, he didn't do s*** until the series was all but over. Unless Vasilevsky stands on his head, I think the Penguins win tonight, but it's hockey so who the hell knows.

Nothing beats the NFL. Touchdown Commercial Kickoff Touchback (no action) Commercial One play - end of quarter Commercial

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 23, 2016 -> 03:02 PM) I had to put it out there before I could effectively argue my point: I want youth in the White House. new blood. Nothing says youth and new blood like a 75 year old career politician. Troll game is slacking greg.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ May 23, 2016 -> 03:24 PM) DV is a terrible crime, but it's not any worse than pulling a knife and putting it on someone's neck. If Black is still on the team with a suspension, I don't see how Nunn is kicked off the team. It would be a bad look for the new AD, given this interview:

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 23, 2016 -> 02:34 PM) Is Brantley still on the DL for the Indians? I thought he was back? He came back too early. Played awfully for 11 games then went back on the DL.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 23, 2016 -> 09:47 AM) Randall Simon's clearly the worst. Peavy is #2. I think Randall Simon could probably out-pitch Alfredo Simon right now. (I think that's who you are referring to )

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 22, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) Trevor Daley out for the season. That totally sucks. Seems like a good dude. This game 5 has been full of drama, fun to watch. Refs are letting them play. Before Tampa tied it, Callahan pulled a Seabrook hitting both posts. I think 7 different goalies's have started games in the conference finals and 8 have played. That's gotta be a record.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 22, 2016 -> 06:45 PM) That's pretty cool! Who made them? It was from a website that I don't remember the name of right now. I do remember that the correspondence was in broken English and it was shipped directly from China, ha. I think the cost was around $90-100. I only had two guys. One was a ski bum so it was him in ski gear holding skiis. The other was a boxer at the time so he was in boxing gear with gloves on. I just sent them a picture and tried to give any minor details like hair color or whatever.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 22, 2016 -> 05:54 PM) Attendance looked good, sox won, beat Royals, Indians lost. All good things Your positivity is not welcome in winner threads.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 22, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) That's not deceptive. It's factual. In today's MLB, the White Sox inability to make the playoffs combined with the inability to build a real minor league system is simply unacceptable. Having a 1-2 punch capable of stealing a World Series is the worst part about it. Get Sale and Q in the playoffs and let's see what they can do.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ May 20, 2016 -> 05:37 PM) Paul Sullivan of the Tribune did an entire story about what Maddon thinks about the White Sox -- and I thought that was lazy as hell. Who cares what Maddon thinks? He's won one fewer World Series than Ned Yost, Charlie Manuel and Ozzie Guillen. And one other thing: The Sun Times sends out a sport email letter every day if you sign up for it: The number one story they touted this morning was promoting the upcoming Cubs/Giants Series. No. 2 was Sale going 9-0. If you're going to promote an upcoming series, wouldn't the White Sox playing the World Series champs IN TOWN rate ahead of a Cubs-Giants series? The Cub groveling is ridiculous. Probably 75% of their audience are Cubs fans, ;why wouldn't they grovel at the larger part of their crowd?

QUOTE (Brian @ May 20, 2016 -> 10:34 PM) There's no way they were killing her off. Yeah I knpw, that's exactly what my wife said the whole time too, still was surprised to see her. It was cool to see Mr Kaplan be the one who set it all up.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2016 -> 10:04 PM) DFA time for Peavy. Probably worst starter I have seen this year And you watched John Danks multiple times.
