I own two suits, only used for weddings and funerals. I change into a uniform at work, so I can wear whatever I want to work, weather permitting. At least 75% of my new clothes come from holiday/birthday gifts from my wife. This thread is probably not for me.

Dude, you said hard!!

What ISIS Really Wants Long, but very interesting read about who ISIS is and what they are really trying to accomplish.

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 15, 2015 -> 09:26 AM) I was thinking about Phoenix and how they have been able to position their sports stadiums near great entertainment areas, have them reasonable grouped, and just a great place to attend events. It's too bad Chicago never developed that way. I thought the Coyotes' arena location was awful and the main excuse for their decreasing attendance? They moved from downtown to the middle of nowhere and people stopped going, including PK14 I believe.

Very disappointing fellas

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 13, 2015 -> 06:15 AM) Anyone ever been to Zanies in Rosemont? Going to see Iliza Shlesinger in May. Went to the one in Vernon Hills once before it closed but was wondering what the lay out was like because she goes on at 9:30 but Richard Lewis is on at 7pm. So it is a separate room they clear out after he is done? Jeff Garlin is there as well a few weeks before but would rather see the hot girl. I obviously don't go out much. I don't know anything about Zanie's but if you haven't been to that area of Rosemont recently, there are tons of bars and restaurants over there now, tons of stuff to do.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Feb 16, 2015 -> 10:09 AM) Stats do not make a player an icon. Actually he wasn't. His antics was reaching new heights, but he was still doing a good job handling the managerial part (at least compared to Robin) and an even greater job controlling the media away from his players. Well yeah, he was insulting sportswriters with anti-gay slurs, that's not a good thing.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Feb 16, 2015 -> 07:13 AM) The worst is betting on baseball. I'm done with that after last year I learned my lesson back in college. I had done well with college basketball, so then I let it all ride on Opening Day. I went with Buehrle vs. KC and Randy Johnson was pitching for Arizona. The Sox and DBacks ended up scoring a combined zero runs and my balance disappeared. Never again, lol.

I was surprised to learn that Jon Lovitz had died

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 16, 2015 -> 08:58 AM) hey now elitist manufacturer scum, I work for a bank and we arent recognizing this fake bank holiday created by us Sounds like you need to work for a different bank!

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 16, 2015 -> 08:35 AM) It's either President's Day or Abe Lincoln Day. My anxiety filled elementary school days will never allow me to forget these past blessings. Oh yeah, I remember those now. Being in the manufacturing sector, I no longer recognize these fake holidays created by bankers and mailmen due to laziness.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Feb 15, 2015 -> 11:38 PM) Nah, not even close to a penalty. It was the right call to "pick up the flag". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYCZGv_1xcE Yeah, it looked like the right decision. I just don't remember ever seeing a player sent to the penalty box and then called back out.

Why wouldn't people be working today? It's Monday.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 15, 2015 -> 01:38 PM) Only the second. I don't remember any problems last time but I've had some of the worst bathroom experiences of my life today and it's not typical of a hangover sick if you catch my drift. I've had serious cramping too. Thank god I had nothing planned today. sounds like you finally got your period, congrats!

Maybe you guys need to drink more

That was one of the best shootouts I have ever seen. Did they explain why Crosby got pulled out of the penalty box? I was there, so I didn't see a replay, but looked like a penalty to me

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 15, 2015 -> 09:56 AM) Shields also has a clause in his Padres' contract where he can opt out after the 2016 season, fwiw. True but he will be owed 2 years, $42 million at age 35. Unless he wins the Cy Young, I doubt he finds a better contract then.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 14, 2015 -> 08:39 PM) I don't think he gives two s***s about the hof...I think he's just enjoying himself, especially since he probably can't play as much golf anymore. With the size of Hawk's ego, you really think he doesn't care?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Feb 14, 2015 -> 06:06 PM) I really hope that this is Hawk's last year. He's literally losing his mind and if you look at some of the video of him during the ice bucket challenge it's obvious his body is frail and not up to the rigors of following the team for 162 games. It's in his own interests to scale back and I just hope he doesn't have to be forced out of the booth or turn into a situation like Harry Carry at the end. Seems like he is pulling a Ron Santo. So desperate for the Hall of Fame, he is sticking around thinking he can help his chances, while in fact he may be hurting them.

You don't watch college ball for the quality of play though, you watch for the excitement, the atmosphere, the drama, the ups and downs the kids go through. Every game seems to matter. Sure the NBA has more talent and better players, but the regular season is so long and the players just seem to be going through the motions waiting for the playoffs. Until the playoffs start, I'd much rather watch a NCAA game than a NBA regular season game.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 13, 2015 -> 08:09 PM) Hartman looks like he belongs so far. He looked like the only guy who wanted to play for the first 2 periods. A win's a win, hope they wake up and play better Sunday morning vs the Penguins.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 13, 2015 -> 10:01 AM) For some reason I like the Coyotes tonight. (So you probably want to bet heavy on the Sharks. ) Hope you listened to that.

I use Turbo Tax as my accountant

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 13, 2015 -> 01:56 PM) You don't think it would give them an edge in analyzing recruits and prospects? Remember this should allow the teams to find players that other teams are overlooking. But I agree there are certain disadvantages that those schools have in recruiting. With high school players it's much tougher, as there is very little statistical information available, and many more variables when scouting. The other thing is that none of these baseball "geniuses" are gonna be at these Ivy League schools. Why would they recruit at Harvard if they can go to a major league ball club. Even grad students currently enrolled would need some experience in the game before really being able to prosper.
