QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Dec 19, 2013 -> 02:07 AM) So you played a console and it didn't stand up to your PC? Well, that's revolutionary. In other news, the Yankees are still good. Like Steve said, I did play a port (although FIFA was supposed to be a very good port). However, you do understand that developers rarely develop specifically for the PC anymore right? So pretty much all PC games are ports, just with better resolution and AA. So of course I expected better from a next gen console considering the PS3 was basically a PC from 2006.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 05:27 PM) Ok seriously, why is it so f***in hard for people to say Alshon JEFFERY? Herm Edwardson just called him Jefferies on sportscenter. I just don't get it. Jeffery is an uncommon last name? The fact that professional broadcasters are screwing up his name is unacceptable. It's not like his last name is Saltalamacchia.

I play a lot of PC games on my gaming rig, so I know what games look like with in 1080P with AA. I played the PS4 for the first time today (it was FIFA 14) and I was not impressed with the visuals at all. That said, I did get NBA 2K14 and Madden 25 for $20 combined after trading in 6 PS3 games and a controller.

Decker or Fred Jackson for flex? PPR league, but 20 yards per point with 2 point bonuses at 75, 100, and 150 yards. I'm afraid the Broncos will jump on Houston early and run the ball all game.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 02:52 PM) He so sexy Plus his bWAR goes from like 2 to 6 to 2 with the Sox, while it's pretty much a steady 4.0 with fWAR And it just so happens that the year he put up 6 bWAR, the White Sox lost 90+ games.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 02:14 PM) ESPN calculates their's differently too. I have no idea how they do it. I just compared ESPN's WAR and bWAR for a few players and it's exactly the same... I assume they used bWAR because it actually correlates better with a player's performance for a said year compared to that player's reputation. It's a little easier to stomach for the average ESPN viewer.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 02:24 PM) I am sure they have a factor for the size of the market they play in and an adjustment for how close they are to the East Coast. Derek Jeter's WAR is always his actual WAR + 2-3 WAR, depending on where the Yankees finish in the standings.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 02:05 PM) Yeah, Chili kind of just operates in a "my way or the highway" sort of fashion. I know why the statheads prefer fWAR but mainstream WAR is bWAR so that's why it's often easier to use on a message board. It is? Since when?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 11:09 AM) True. I'm only a few episodes into Orange is the New Black and I now get all the hype. Yup, great show.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 04:28 PM) Just when you think things cant get worse, the Rose camp starts yapping again Is his camp stupid? Do they not understand that tanking for one of the best draft classes in recent history can prevent them from rebuilding at all? A core of Butler, Noah, Jabari/Wiggins, Mirotic, and Rose is a hell of a lot better than what we had this year before Rose got hurt.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 04:12 PM) Alshon had a......memorable interview with Dan Patrick today. http://deadspin.com/dan-patrick-soldiers-t...h-al-1485019687 By memorable, i mean terrible. Alshon definitely wasn't prepared and he definitely didn't care. Or maybe he's just a super boring person.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 03:18 PM) I doubt you'll see the All Pro version of Rodgers coming off an injury and weeks of inaction. He'll be rusty and trying to get up to real NFL game speed. Still better than Matt Flynn.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 01:58 PM) Once again, I have to choose between Cousins and Dalton. Both have good matchups. I'm leaning Cousins this time. Cousins all the way. Dallas' defense sucks.

Justin Tucker mentioned how he's glad he helped out a lot of fantasy football owners after the game last night. It was a great luxury to have both he and Jamaal Charles this past week.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 09:57 AM) Safeties do a lot less tackling with Lance Briggs at LB. True. But our run defense sucked with Briggs in there. Brandon Jacobs ran for 120 yards on this defense when Briggs played.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 09:53 AM) Replacing Green with Briggs is a pretty big deal for a lot of reasons. Briggs starts making the calls, Anderson just has to play his position, the rookie LB group becomes a veteran LB group. Zack Zaidman said the other day that Briggs is still 4th in the league in run stuffs. Thats crazy Yeah, it stabilizes the LBs quite a bit. Our safeties still can't tackle though.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 09:43 AM) The Score is saying that there is more crap coming out of the DRose camp directed at the Bulls. What did I miss? THey are going to talk about it soon. Found it: Derrick Rose unhappy with Bulls' rebuilding plans His injuries are forcing the rebuild!! STFU DRose. I really have lost respect for you If that's the case, then screw him. We've wasted the last two seasons because of him.

Briggs should be back this week. Maybe our run defense will improve from horrible to bad.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 09:24 AM) find that guys twitter feed and read through his back and forth responses. It is hilarious, he says something like "when the field goal was designed for the game, they didnt have 60 yard dome field goals in mind. 30 yard field goals are earned" lmao He's gotta be trolling.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 07:35 AM) @Zigmanfreud: Lions/Ravens game was perfect example of how the NFL needs to change field goal rules to make it tougher to make them. Lions deserved to win Lol! lolwut? The other team hits a 61 yard field goal with almost a minute left, the Lions had all their timeouts, and their franchise QB throws a pick to end it, but they deserve to win? What kind of entitled bulls*** is that?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 16, 2013 -> 11:36 PM) Stafford yes, I'm not sure who overrated Romo though, that guy gets killed more than anyone. The only reason he gets killed so much is because people expect a lot out of him. He's paid like he's a franchise QB, but he never plays well when the Cowboys' season is on the line. The Cowboys themselves are overrated as hell.

Matthew Stafford and Tony Romo are overrated as hell and love screwing up in December.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 16, 2013 -> 04:55 PM) They already had that done with Wong at 2B. Wong is said to be ready and Ellis will be the RH alternative to Wong/Carpenter. Wong and Ellis will most likely platoon.

QUOTE (PorkChopExpress @ Dec 16, 2013 -> 02:55 PM) Slogan: Back to Basics Commercials: (1) (Think Bull Durham-maybe even use the clip from the movie) This is a very simple game. You throw the ball (followed by clips of our pitchers pitching and maybe Viciedo throwing someone out at home), you catch the ball (followed by some web gem-type clips), you hit the ball (followed by a bunch of homerun swing clips). White Sox baseball--back to basics. (2) Garcia and/or Eaton with Beckham and/or Ramirez and then Davidson/Gillaspie and maybe a few others at a bar/restaurant celebrating a win, the waitress brings over some drinks and starts to hand one to Davidson/Gillaspie when Garcia/Eaton intercept it and pass it to Beckham/Ramirez who then pass it to Davidson/Gillaspie. The waitress walks back to the bar looking slightly puzzled and asks the bartender what that was all about, to which he responds "Got to hit the cut-off man." White Sox baseball-back to basics. (3) Black Screen, all you hear is the sound of a ball on bat, and then "Again." Another sound of ball on bat, "Again." A few more times, and the screen fades in to a video of Robin or another coach standing watching one of the players practicing bunts. White Sox baseball--back to basics. (4) All the outfielders sitting together listening to Robin give scenarios, like "Man on first, single to left," or "men on first and third, flyball to deep center" and the group of them responding in unison with the appropriate base to throw to in each situation. White Sox baseball--back to basics. Hawk would appreciate that.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 16, 2013 -> 04:33 PM) FWIW, Keith Law and Dave Cameron both love this trade for us. Jason Parks does not. Keith Law loving a White Sox trade? *gasp
