QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 14, 2013 -> 08:16 AM) It was tied at 66 at the end of regulation. Exactly. Hence why they played 45 minutes.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 14, 2013 -> 07:55 AM) Is that considered a dirty hit/action by you guys? Im just starting to come around to hockey this season, and to me it didnt look any more intentional than any other rough-housing on the boards, but reading some of the reaction to it, it seems like because of who did it(Cooke) and his reputation that it is something that might get reviewed by the league This incident definitely seemed to be an accident, but Cooke's reputation precedes him so people are still questioning the intent. He was trying to get leverage against Karlsson's leg, but his leg got a bad angle and his skate came down on his ankle. There are definitely examples in the past of people trying to spike the opponent with their skate, but this does not seem like one of those cases.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 14, 2013 -> 07:55 AM) 71-69. Boston and Chicago almost got outscored by DePaul and Notre Dame who only played 40 minutes. You might wanna check the box score, they actually played 45 minutes. Yes, Notre Dame actually needed OT to beat DePaul.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 14, 2013 -> 07:04 AM) Sounds like he mistook her for an intruder. A hot intruder. He obviously doesn't watch much porn. In those movies, you use a different gun to shoot a hot intruder.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 14, 2013 -> 12:01 AM) Erik Karlsson had his Achilles cut by Matt Cooke's skate and is done for the year. That was not fun to watch. Ouch. At first it doesn't seem like a big deal, then he tries to skate away and you can just see the grimacing pain in his face. Tough blow for Ottawa, he was an offensive juggernaut from the blue line.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 13, 2013 -> 02:06 PM) I wonder if these guys (projected lottery picks) get some kind of insurance coverage for this type of thing. On a lighter note, odds Illinois loses to Purdue tonight? IMO, 48% According to Calipari, Noel was insured, "so he would have been fine even if the injury would have been worse." Like someone else said, I think you do get insured but only if it keeps you from ever playing in the NBA at all.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 08:18 PM) http://deadspin.com/5983854/kentucky-star-...reaming-in-pain Nerlens Noel with possibly severe knee injury. Torn ACL, he gawn. Poor kid.

Still undefeated in the loss column that matters, but sucks to waste 3:30 of 4-on-3 in OT.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 08:18 PM) http://deadspin.com/5983854/kentucky-star-...reaming-in-pain Nerlens Noel with possibly severe knee injury. I refuse to watch the video, but sounds like a nasty injury. Hope it's not too serious for the kid's sake.

QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 11:19 PM) Padres might look to add another SP at some point. I don't think this materializes into an opportunity to move Floyd but it is a little interesting based on Headley being a good fit at 3rd. Link: http://sandiego.padres.mlb.com/news/articl..._sd&c_id=sd If you want Headley, you better be ready to move Sale.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 01:50 PM) Teddy Greenstein ‏@TeddyGreenstein Jared Swopshire (knee) is done for the year. Tough break for a great kid. #Northwestern I'm sure Illinois still loses on Sunday

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 01:19 PM) That's most unfortunate. You'd think they'd just make an exception for him since he's rich and famous. It's Canada, only hockey players and curlers are famous.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 12:07 PM) Just making a comparison where no matter what happens, there's a group of people who will never find any fault with a person/organization even though the evidence is there. Yeah, but when has a Polish person ever done anything wrong? Always the victim.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 11:31 AM) I call that the Penn State effect. No need to insult people like that, jeez.

QUOTE (OsweGo-Go Sox @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 09:35 AM) I'm quite thankful for the WBC this year--whatever your feelings about it are, it's a hell of a lot more exciting to watch than spring training games, which get excruciating after the first or second one. It is better than spring training, but it would be so much better if players actually gave a s*** about it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 09:53 AM) ChiTribSports ‏@ChiTribSports Bears terminate Johnny Knox's contrac That's a back-breaking blow to the Bears.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 08:55 AM) The NFL is more popular than ever, and is also more "safe" than ever. True, but once they start talking about getting rid of kickoffs and such extreme measures, that's when they can start getting into trouble.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 08:56 AM) You're right about the White Sox (at least I hope you are), but Cleveland now has an experienced manager who knows how to win, and an excited fanbase that will probably start showing up to the Jake in droves, which will give them more money to spend at the deadline. That fanbase is so upset with management for years now, I don't think signing Bourn & Swisher is suddenly gonna make them show up to the ballpark.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 08:02 AM) WBC That makes sense. It seemed extra earlier this year. It's kind of funny considering how few major leaguers will play in the WBC.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 08:31 AM) Also, they will move to 3 downs, they're making the endzone 20 yards long, and there aren't any more touchbacks. To prevent touchbacks, you have to do some stupid kicky thingy. Football is an inherently dangerous sport. At some point, you begin ruining the integrity of the game with this BS you come up with. If players are now unaware that they can face incredible long term head trauma from playing the game of football, then they are at their own risk. Instead of making the game safer, the NFL just needs to admit that they now realize the game is dangerous. Make every player sign a waiver excusing you from future liability. If the contracts stay in the millions of dollars, I'm sure guys will still line up to play despite the long-term risks. The "safer" you make the game, the more fans you will end up losing in the long run.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 08:38 AM) Didn't he have a big hand in the child molestation cover up? Nope

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 08:03 AM) Ruining the buzz, man. My bad. LET'S GO WHITE SOX!!!

spring training is f***ing long...

Just goes to show you how truly great John Paul II was.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 05:41 AM) I forgot the Tribe got Stubbs. Underrated behind those guys in Cincy. Stubbs is Adam Dunn with less power but more speed.
