I have both. I got the PS4 first and someone convinced me to get an XB1. The Xbox has a lot more to offer right now. Better exclusives at the moment and it's a nice media center since you can hook up your cable box to it. I barely play my PS4 right now because I'm playing a lot of FIFA on my Xbox. Both are good consoles, but I'd recommend the XB1 at the moment just based on how many more features you get out of the box.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 11:10 PM) Another under the radar stat: top 5 in the east has .600 winning pct against the top 5 of the west. I think the greatness of the west is a bit overstated. The West is still deeper. After the Cavs, every team in the East is under .500. The 8th seed in the West is 18-14.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 10:29 PM) He's, right now, a top 10 player in the NBA. Derrick Rose is just "a guy" compared to Jimmy. Yet all anyone talks about (including my sig) is Rose. #3 in win shares. #6 in offensive rating (very rare for a SG who doesn't rely heavily on 3s). He's also pretty damn good on defense. He's the most complete player in the NBA not named Anthony Davis or LeBron James right now.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 24, 2014 -> 09:32 AM) Yeah. It looks like he's starting to trust his body again. I repeat. Please, God, don't f*** us. I was just thinking it would have been hilarious and extremely sad if he did a Stephen Tulloch/Lamarr Houston skipping down the court.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Dec 24, 2014 -> 09:27 AM) He's actually shattering his career high in 2PT FG% by a good margin. He just need to keep building his confidence and attack the basket. Let the three point shot compliment his game instead of using it as his bread and butter. He's going back to shooting long 2s instead of 3s. Usually, that's a bad thing, but he's good at those 17-18 footers he used to shoot in his rookie and sophomore years. His 3's been awful this year...only hitting 28% of them.

Another fun game to watch. We'll be the top seed in the East in a few weeks at this rate.

When did Kyle Lowry get so good? I know he was good last year, but I didn't think he was this good...

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Dec 22, 2014 -> 12:43 PM) You get way more than you pay for. Screen issues seem to have been on their earlier builds. Other bugs seem to have been fixed with CM11. Rarely a good idea to be an early adopter/bug tester with any new tech product nowadays anyways. Like I said, I'm coming from an N5 (not impressed with lollipop) and moto x '13 and the OPO blows them away in build quality and user experience at a cheaper price. Also have messed with family and friends' m8, S5 (touchwiz is awful), G3, i6, and the OPO is on par or even better in some respects IMHO at half the price. Thankfully haven't had to deal with their customer service as the vast majority haven't. Worth the tiny risk IMHO You pay the same for the Nexus 5 and Google's customer service is pretty awesome. I had mine replaced when the power button died. I wanted the OPO when it first came out, but when OP decided that not everybody can buy one and screwed up their marketing quite a bit, my interest wore off. I was even given an invite by someone to get one and I didn't see any reason to. I paid the steep price of $690 for my Nexus 6 and it is the best Android phone I've ever used. Super smooth, good battery life, and a screen that's big enough to eat on. As long as you're ok with the form factor, it's probably the most complete Android phone.

I'm going to win 3 leagues...what do those teams have in common? They all had Odell Beckham on them. All hail the great Odell Beckham! He's the reason I'm $250 richer.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 03:14 PM) Just became aware of the One+ phone manufacturer. Very interesting stuff. But I assume those phones aren't available on contracts, so it would actually cost me more money, not less. One Plus Ones have their fair share of issues (lots of issues with screens and their customer service isn't very good). It's a great phone for the price, but in the end, you get what you pay for.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 04:23 PM) Does anyone have any experience with wireless headphones? I need a lower end pair for myself and nicer brand for my Dad. Any experience would be highly appreciated. I have two pairs. One for working out, another for white noise when I sleep (I live by train tracks and there's construction going on next to my apt). I bought a pair of Sony ones for $40 on sale, I think they're around $70-80 MSRP. Great sound quality, very comfortable. The work-out headphones I got are Motorola. Meh sound quality, but light and good for working out. I've had those for 4 years now.

What a sausage fest this site is.

QUOTE (kevo880 @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 05:34 PM) Adam Schefter‏@AdamSchefter·2 mins2 minutes ago Stunner from Chicago: Bears starting QB Jimmy Clausen this week, per source. Definitely didn't expect that. I was thinking that Cutler's time in Chicago was more or less done after the absolutely dreadful first 3 quarters against the Saints, but I didn't think they'd bench him.

I think this might be the best group of new players to come to the Sox at the same time.

lol....why? He's going to flame out in ST anyhow.

Made the final in 2 of my 4 leagues. Finished 5th in the other. Another one is only in the semis next week.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 11:28 AM) At the moment, their rotation is Buccholz, Porcello, Miley, Masterson, and Kelly. They'd need Buccholz to be great and Masterson to bounce back if they want any chance of even reaching the playoffs.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 11:10 AM) Boston with 9-1. LMAO. Do they even have 5 starting pitchers...?

Champions League round of 16 draws are out. Chelsea vs. PSG should be real good. Barcelona vs. Man City should be as well, although I fully expect Barcelona to win that.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 09:42 AM) Ya, Abreu is totally going to be a 2.3 WAR player this year Read what Jake said after he posted that part. Then take a look at the DH portion.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 09:22 AM) Yeah, those projections are grossly pessimistic. That's what some projection systems are. They're pessimistic to be safe.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 10:31 PM) The Newsroom finale was great. Season wasn't but the end was really good in my opinion. I felt that the ending was a bit rushed. Only 6 episodes this season? I mean, come on... I know Sorkin has other stuff to work on, but this entire season literally felt like it consisted of 2-3 major plot lines.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 09:31 PM) Astros No wonder he turned it down.

No Bosh for the Heat, but damn, Bulls are up 25.
