QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 19, 2014 -> 07:00 AM) Kain Colter sounds like a complete moron. They should probably replace him if they believe this can succeed. And the fact he has job offers from the likes of Goldman Sachs and others makes me believe playing football opens more doors than I even thought before. I believe it was him that made a full comparison of college football to the Navy SEALS. Just for that he needs to be replaced.

We finally get warm weather and now I have to be paranoid about my basement flooding. Best winter EVER.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 19, 2014 -> 08:56 AM) You picked the Russians over either USA or, gasp, Canada? You silly bastard. I'd have gone with the homer pick, but if I were betting on actual chances, you can damn-well know I'd go Canada over Russia easily. You dumb, silly, foolish bastard. Plus, it's Ovie. He's a choker. It was small money and I tend to hedge my emotional picks with my wallet, but yeah Ovi is a choker and I ignored that. Especially with the pressure of a future in Siberia, should have seen it a mile away. I should have listened to Teemu, before the Olympics he said about Russia, "The problem is that there is only one puck. They need five pucks." An ageless genius.

There goes the champion in my bracket. Why the hell did I think selfish mental midgets like Ovechkin, Radulov, & Kovalchuk could handle the pressure of a home Olympics? Finland/Sweden may not be pretty, but it should a good matchup.

I guess the Latvia upset may have solved the whole two games on at once problem. .

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 18, 2014 -> 08:08 PM) absolutely. but he's cost his team more runs on defense than any other player in history. I forget the exact number but it's about ~140 runs given up because of his defense But five Gold Gloves!!!!!

It's funny that Jeter is given so much credit for the Yankees' success in such a team sport, where each player has such a limited impact on the game.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 18, 2014 -> 02:44 PM) Phil Rogers speculated the White Sox primary catcher in 2014 is not yet with the team. If that's coming from Rogers, I'd guarantee it's Flowers, Phegley, or Nieto.

Tonight's Iowa-Indiana basketball game has been postponed due to falling debris from the ceiling into the stands at Assembly Hall.

3-1 Latvia, wow. Good for them, two major surprises in the quarterfinals.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 18, 2014 -> 11:29 AM) I want them out and Hossa healthy. Krejci with the PP goal, 3-0 Czechs. Keep up the rout and cut Hossa's minutes please. 2-0 Latvia, huge upset brewing. The Swiss only scored 2 goals in first 3 games.

Jonas Hiller is human, Latvia takes 1-0 lead. I would give them about a 0.0001% chance against Canada. Czechs are up 2-0 on Slovakia who is looking like they did in their first two games. Please stay healthy Hossa.

In 2010 the four QF games were held at noon, 4:30, 7:00, & 9:00 local time. The Russians have the same times except for moving the 7:00 game to 9:00. It makes no sense, the 7:00 time slot would still be primetime.

I am excited for the drive home from work today.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 17, 2014 -> 09:39 AM) Ugh, why do two quarterfinal matchups have to be on at the exact same time? One game streaming on my work computer, one game on my cell phone.

It amuses me that another sports radio station started and Mike North wasn't able to land a job with them.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 16, 2014 -> 09:52 PM) That's what they wanted.They want tears. It was pretty disgusting the way she kept pushing. I read this morning that they were up to 25 stories on athletes' dead relatives. Not sure if that includes the miscarriage they discussed on air with the skeleton medalist.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Feb 17, 2014 -> 06:43 AM) Times (ET) set for the Elimination and Quarterfinal rounds: Monday SLO v AUT 3am RUS v NOR 7:30am SUI vs LAT Noon CZE vs SVK Noon Tuesday SWE vs SLO/AUT 3am FIN vs RUS/NOR 7:30am CAN vs SUI/LAT Noon USA vs CZE/SVK Noon This is a Chicago sports message board. The Central time zone is the only acceptable time zone.

If baseball & softball were removed from the Olympics for issues with lack of competition, women's ice hockey can't be far behind. At last count, the US was outshooting Sweden 46-3 with a 5-0 lead. And that's in a semifinal.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 16, 2014 -> 08:50 PM) Enjoy it. Three weeks from now it's going to be all about spring training numbers and Hawk for the 2934833 year in a row talking about how much he likes the Sox chances. And don't forget about Nate Jones's butt.

The interview with Bode Miller was f***ing awful, how many times can you ask about his dead brother? Give the guy a break, you need to learn how to walk away.

Smart move. No hurry given his service time, make him prove that he is legit.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 16, 2014 -> 08:12 PM) Hit the deck. Down on the floor! Shots fired! Shots fired! lol. I like this thread. 2K5 and Balta comin' together against UC and Marty. Keep it goin'. It's such a train wreck but I can't stop clicking on it.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 16, 2014 -> 04:26 PM) It's the scoring system the NHL should have, but doesn't. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 16, 2014 -> 07:29 PM) Also agreed. I would love to see a 3-2-1 scoring system. Yup.

I can't believe the snowboard cross chick crashed with such a big lead, brutal. Bode Miller is quite the fertile ladies man, multiple kids from multiple relationships.
