Mirotic is seriously in the running for RoY. Wiggins is his only true competitor, IMO and his advantage in playing time plays a big role in that. Most of the other rookies get more playing time than Niko, but they're all really inefficient offensively.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Mar 23, 2015 -> 07:34 AM) I can't imagine the English FA giving up their Boxing Day fixtures. I bet the turnaround is short across Europe. I'm assuming a lot of the big name players will be taking a few weeks off at the start of the season.

Barcelona win El Classico. 4 points up on Real with 10 games to go.

I'd rather not replace Thibs with a guy whose team just lost to a 14 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Round of 8 draws are out for the Champions League. Atletico is taking on Real Madrid and I wouldn't be surprised at all if Atletico whoop Real's ass like they did a month ago. Both sides have been struggling though.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Mar 20, 2015 -> 09:21 AM) http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12...-2022-world-cup It will be interesting to see how this all works out logistically and what the fallout will be. From an English perspective, one of the reasons continually given for the lack of success in major tournaments has been that the players are burnt out by the end of the season due to not having a winter break. I guess the World Cup will be played roughly half way through the Premier League season, at which point the players should be at their peak in terms of physical fitness, so perhaps we will see a performance that is not an utter embarrassment (one can hope, anyway). Maybe Harry Kane will be the first of a group of players who will start not sucking at the WC for England.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 19, 2015 -> 10:40 AM) Keep in mind Brad Penny hasn't been good since Gordon Beckham was in college, and will be 37 years old in a couple of months. If he starts games for the White Sox, chances are they will lose and the bullpen will get a workout. Humber was never good.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Mar 19, 2015 -> 03:15 PM) Wow, with the EPL holiday schedule (I assume other major Euro Leagues have a similar crunch) the hiatus the major euro league will have to take and make up for and the WC, the elite players are going to play crazy amounts of soccer over a short time. It will be interested to see how Euro legaues handle it. How long do they break? Just for early pool play then if your superstar is in a team that advances you're S.O.L? They'll probably have a long hiatus. The issue is that it affects the next season. They might have to start the season earlier.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 19, 2015 -> 12:29 PM) World Cup 2022 Final officially set for December 18, 2022. I wonder how big soccer will be in the US by then.

I hope J4L shows up in this thread and says how awful Penny will be. Then we'll have Phillip Humber part II!

Got Hardline. The single player isn't terrible, but some of these missions are so damn easy. They try to incorporate stealth, but the AI is literally blind.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 18, 2015 -> 06:03 PM) Yeah, that was a great game to watch. Between Barca absolutely dominating with unbelievable combination play and Messi at his best and Hart stopping nearly everything, it was great entertainment. City's front line choked away two great chances. They could have actually gotten this to ET. Instead, they wasted Hart's effort.

Joe Hart played out of his mind today. Barcelona should have won that game 4-0, but Hart kept City in it.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Mar 17, 2015 -> 11:11 PM) For the cover, or for the title? If it's just the cover, then they are just going the Madden route. Madden in name only. It's both.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 17, 2015 -> 05:37 AM) Have to remember to watch after work. Is it the whole season, a la Netflix, or are they releasing one episode a week? First two episodes.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 16, 2015 -> 08:23 PM) I think you've created a new phenomenon.

Community is back! On Yahoo Screen!

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Mar 16, 2015 -> 11:12 AM) VERY. The last one was pretty hard to watch. Probably the worst one of the series to be honest. I do like the way they are setting up the end of the season. Hopefully they don't blow the momentum. Everybody hates Chris. Including zombies.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Mar 16, 2015 -> 03:21 AM) Thought Walking Dead was solid tonight, and has me pumped for the final two episodes of the season. It was very mediocre this season, but setting up to finish strong. The death scenes were super gruesome.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 16, 2015 -> 10:40 AM) Wait what? I thought it was due next week? That's odd He released it early I guess. Kendrick do what Kendrick wants.

Kendrick's new album just dropped, almost out of nowhere.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 11, 2015 -> 12:27 PM) MSNBC host and a couple other op-ed writers including Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol blame "rap music" for the controversy. Twitter bursts into action with hashtag "#RapAlbumsThatCausedSlavery" Rap music is definitely to blame for white kids in a frat that has been historically racist singing racist songs. After all, rap music totally embellishes the n word said with a hard r.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Mar 1, 2015 -> 06:23 PM) Yep, I am looking at the video right now and have it paused on the Sox roster screen...they are..... Sale - 93 Abreu - 89 Robertson - 86 Samardzija/Alexei - 84 Melky - 82 Eaton/Bonifacio/LaRoche/Q - 80 Jones - 78 Crain - 75 Flowers - 74 Danks/Putnam - 73 Quintana has the same rating as Bonifacio...LOL. Bad ratings aside, I was watching some gameplay and I'm really liking what they've done this year. Edit: You can find some Sox gameplay at around 6 hours in this stream: http://www.twitch.tv/sonysandiegostudio/b/635993244

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 12, 2015 -> 06:13 PM) Just caught up on this season of Always Sunny, damn good so far. The family feud episode had me dying, hilarious. What's an animal that we eat, but doesn't eat us? Dragon.

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 11, 2015 -> 08:45 PM) One of these things is not like the others McDermott goes 3 of 4 in the first half and only gets 10 minutes. Yet Hinrich shot like his usual self and played for 19 minutes. Come on Thibs, you need to realize Kirk sucks.
