My favorite major of the year even though I'm asleep during 75% of the live action. Enjoying this Baghdatis vs. Dmitrov match, especially with the loud fanbases chanting after every point.

Hope a fan asks this question at SoxFest

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 22, 2015 -> 05:29 PM) Ian Rapoport said that would make sense though. Brady would be one of the last people the league talks to in the investigation. That's silly IMO. The QB would be one of the top people to gain an advantage from deflated balls. (lol) Why not ask him what he knows, especially a veteran like Brady?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 22, 2015 -> 05:47 PM) Saudi King Abdullah has died at age 90. Does that change anything or will women still be banned from driving among other things?

The NFL has yet to contact Tom Brady. Quite the investigation so far

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 22, 2015 -> 12:28 PM) Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 11m11 minutes ago If a TOR/Duquette deal is finished, compensation will be substantial. Jeff Hoffman discussed. Looking back now, if the Jays were heavily pursuing KW like reports said they were until Duquette came along. Would you rather keep KW or get Jeff Hoffman compensation? I think I know the answer, but it's slow around here and just wanted some discussion. I would of gladly take Hoffman or Dolton Pompei (another rumored player for compensation) for KW. I would absolutely take the top prospect for KW.

Belichick all but threw Tom Brady under the bus today. Brady has a press conference this afternoon.

And got an e-mail last night that season tickets prices will NOT increase next year. The McCaskeys must all be locked up in a room somewhere, this is not real.

If you go by opening day lineups, surprisingly the 2013 top 3 came close De Aza. .281 Keppinger. .325 Rios. .304

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 21, 2015 -> 08:55 PM) I'd prefer if Heads left. We should probably add a poll to this thread since most people likely agree with you.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 21, 2015 -> 08:59 PM) Wow, Baylor was losing to NAIA school Houston-Tillotson, at Baylor, for most of the 1st half. What is it with Baylor teams being so wildly inconsistent? They were like this the past couple seasons too. And why the hell is Baylor playing a school like that in the midst of conference play anyway? Or playing them at all? They even lost to Illinois on a neutral court!

Hawks - Penguins, Wednesday night " rivalry"???? STRETCH! Get on back there!

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 21, 2015 -> 01:28 PM) Is "2 pounds of air" that noticeable? If I'm looking at a tire gauge, is this like seeing 38 register rather than 40? Yes, but I believe the balls should be between 12.5 & 13.5, so percentage wise it is more significant than 38 vs. 40.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 21, 2015 -> 10:52 AM) I just want to know why the refs didnt catch any of it. 2lbs isnt a little bit. That is an obvious difference What's funny is that the Colts LB noticed, who probably rarely touches a game ball, but the referees who constantly move and place the ball didn't notice.

QUOTE (lvjeremylv @ Jan 20, 2015 -> 08:01 PM) Well, assuming the Sox pick up both of Sale's option years in 2018 and 2019 (for $12.5M and $13.5M, respectively), he'll hit the free agency market when he's 30. Max Scherzer just got $210M, and he's 30. So provided he's healthy, there's still a huge, huge payday awaiting Mr Sale in the off-season before the 2020 season. Let's hope the Sox re-work something with him before that and make sure he never hits the open market. Yeah, we'll see if these "quotes" are still valid then. Much easier to say these things when baseball's salary structure has you by the nuts.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jan 21, 2015 -> 09:23 AM) The Saints lost back to back 2nd round picks because of the bounty scandal. Flat out cheating, and when it's not the first time, is a worse offense to the integrity of the league. Losing two firsts is not crippling or equal to the NCAA death penalty. You'd have to forfeit all your picks for 3 years to make that statement. Losing 2 first round picks at the end of the 1st round will not come close to crippling your franchise. Personally I thought the Saints Bountygate was way worse than Deflategate and deserves a worse penalty.

Brad Johnson admits to paying a $7500 bribe before the Super Bowl in 2003 for someone tamper with 100 footballs to make them easier to grip. I wonder if the Patriots aren't the only team to do this, just the only ones dumb enough to get caught. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/...the-super-bowl/

Michigan has won 5 conference games. The 5 teams they beat have won a total of 6 conference games.

Maybe we don't want to remember it

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 20, 2015 -> 10:03 PM) @mortreport: NFL has found that 11 of the Patriots footballs used in Sunday’s AFC title game were under-inflated by 2 lbs each, per league sources. There is zero chance that happens without your star veteran QB giving the thumbs up.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 20, 2015 -> 08:35 PM) Any of you thirty somethings listen to the Lithium channel on SiriusXM? I'm addicted. It's #2 on my Playlist just behind BackSpin, but I grew up more into rap when I was young.

Remember when Mike Smith happened in the playoffs? Yeah, that seems like a long time ago. Robin with an awful performance at Shoot the Puck.
