If Chicago could get over its Napoleon complex, people would come to realize that ketchup is good on a hot dog.

The question is was it idiocy or political strategy to hold the rally on a college campus on the near West Side? I doubt the same protests happen at Harper College in Palatine . Maybe they wanted the publicity. Or maybe they are just dumb.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) It's fairly easy to tell within the 1st 10 minutes of the game if they are invested or not. To be honest it gets frustrating as a fan, but after the run they have been on the last 6 years, plus the 12 game streak and still being one of the best teams in the league, it's hard to argue with it or get upset. It seems like there have been more blowout losses this season than in the past, but yeah, I'm not worried. At some point it will catch up with them, maybe in the playoffs this spring, but until then just enjoy the ride. You know they will be ready for the Kings on Monday.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) This should be a fun one tonight in Dallas. Sharpie is out tonight but Stephen Johns will be making his NHL debut.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 01:31 PM) John McCain, who picked Sarah Palin as his vice presidential candidate. I always thought that nomination was about the female demographic, not about appealing to certain political ideals. And obviously it failed miserably, but that's another discussion.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 08:32 PM) Do you mean Rutgers? I think he means Nebraska

Sun Valley, Idaho for a week, and probably a few Wisconsin trips, maybe one NorthWoods and one to a lake near Stevens Point.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 01:00 PM) I was going to put down 90, but then I remembered to subtract 15, since Robin is still the manager, subtract another 15 because KW is calling the shots, and finally, subtract another 15 because Jerry Reinsdorf owns this team. So 45-117. So last year they were really a 121-win team??? Put me down for 86-76

Someone print this quote and paste in Brian McCann's locker

Manish Mehta ‏@MMehtaNYDN The details on Matt Forte's deal with the Jets: 3 years for $12 million with $8M guaranteed. Additional $4M in escalators. #nyj

Damn. The new 3 on 3 OT rules have cost us Panarin shootout moves. That was pretty.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 09:16 PM) They're part of the fun of March though. We could just eliminate automatic conference bids all together and just let a committee decide the top 64 teams if we want to go that route or just get rid of the one and done tournament and make it a series of games. The funnest part of March is when mid major double digit seeds beat BCS teams in the first round. This would be a great year for it to happen, but all of the top mid-major teams are getting knocked out of their tourneys. It wouldn't be as exciting, but the conference tourney winner could earn a NIT bid instead.

I guess it was Northwestern holding Bill Carmody back from the NCAA tournament, not the other way around. Yes, that just adds to my point about conference tourneys but they get props for winning 4 straight road games.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 08:31 PM) I looked up Toews to see if he was ok and that's the first thing that came up lmao Must be a regular at @BestFansStLouis

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 08:18 PM) It looked really bad full speed, but in slo mo you can see Erhoff sold it a lot more than it seemed in real time That's cause he backed off when he saw Reaves coming. But it doesn't happen if Reaves plays the puck instead of head hunting.

Reaves you dirty dirty f***

Surprise surprise, the Hawks are in another outdoor game. January 2 at St. Louis

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) Then why wouldn't he just retire? Because exactly what we are talking about. It's circumventing the cap penalties. Money? Maybe I'm wrong, but don't guys on LTIR still get paid? If you retire, you walk away from your contract.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 02:40 PM) Details on the Hossa recapture penalty, for those who are curious. https://blackhawksbreakdown.wordpress.com/2...pon-retirement/ I still find it ridiculous that they didn't grandfather those contracts in somehow since they were legal under the old CBA.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) The NHL calls the charges against Kane "unfounded". The matter is officially closed as far as the NHL is concerned. https://twitter.com/TramyersCSN/status/707661968237133824 Just in time for his appearance on the cover of SI. Everything is coming up Kaner.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 02:07 PM) @AdamSchefter Matt Forte is signing with the NY Jets, per source. YES!!!!! Sorry GoSox, you know he would have rushed for 300 yards vs the Bears alone this season.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 01:46 PM) You live in Chicago and you don't know what a hotbar is? The best hotbar around is contained in the newer Whole Foods. They all have good ones, but some of the best eats are at the Whole Foods in Schaumburg. A hotbar is simply a bunch of pre-made food of various types. You make a plate of a bunch of tasties and away you go. Since when did they stop calling those "buffets"?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 11:31 AM) apparently the Broncos backup plan if Osweiler leaves is to trade for Kaepernick. Yikes I'd rather coax Manning out of retirement.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 09:27 AM) Like Jerrell Freeman. I don't think I ever heard his name before about two weeks ago and now he might get like 7-8 million a year. "star" safety George Iloka? Never heard of him
