QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 10, 2017 -> 01:08 PM) They allegedly fired him entirely because of his conduct re: Clinton and being "too harsh" on her. They haven't received any new information whatsoever on this. It's such a transparently dumb and unbelievable excuse. Says the people who wanted to "lock her up".

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ May 5, 2017 -> 08:11 AM) Cutler seems like he would be awful in the booth. Hey Jay what did you think of that play? Uh, I don't know. Whatever. DON'T CAREEEEEEE

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 4, 2017 -> 03:21 PM) Stolen from Twitter: A sexual assault offender can become President, but a sexual assault victim cannot get healthcare. How in the world is rape a pre-existing condition? How that ended up in the bill is beyond me. But then again, this is the GOP we're talking about here.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 4, 2017 -> 02:54 PM) These groups are mocked by comedians? Cmon. I never used the word persecuted, we're talking about mocking a religion on TV, twitter, everywhere. Catholics are a safe group to mock. And I never was arguing it's tough to be a Christian, responding to caulfield's post. Thanks for getting me in trouble here again, Caulfield You knew I'd take the bait. I don't know what I'm overstating. Just lamenting the fact my Catholic religion gets mocked all the time. That's all. That's pretty cruel. Another one liner to attack my long thoughtful response to Caulfield and then others. I said you guys have defeated me. You have crushed me in a debate. You really are overstating my comments. I never said it sucks to be a Christian. I like it. If true, I've missed those episodes. Priest jokes, sure. But jokes about specifics of the Jewish and Hindu faiths, etc., really? Your overstatement was that Christianity is the only religion being ridiculed. That is so far from the truth. Even when Christianity is ridiculed, I wouldn't consider any of it truly harmful or hateful. But when you see people talk badly about Islam, it's usually about how Muslims are terrorists. Imagine yourself as a Muslim who has no intention of committing terrorism yet the people around you probably think that there is a possibility you will. Sucks, doesn't it? There is not something equal to that in if you're a Christian in this country.

https://sports.yahoo.com/news/jay-cutler-ma...-160311630.html I'm surprised by the lack of interest in Cutler. You'd think some team with a QB deficiency (49ers, Jets, Browns, etc.) would at least take a flier on him.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 3, 2017 -> 10:59 PM) What religions are mocked by comedians, etc? You mock a Catholic/Christian, it's funny. Who else is getting joked upon?? Classic example of overstating my position on this board. You guys just don't want any discussion sometimes. This happens all the time to my posts. My gawd. WRONG! There have been incidents of abuse in the Boy Scouts and no jokes, no nothing but horror expressed. I am against all abuse. But cmon. There have been other cases of abuse and it is not mocked like the priests are mocked and derided. Now somebody go ahead and say I am downplaying abuse. Of course abuse is horrid. My brother, a rich lawyer, disowned his high school over its coverup of abuse. He is so mad. I am so mad but they are individual cases not to be mocked. That's because your example is overstated to begin with Greg. You act like Christians are somehow persecuted in this country. Guess what? It's the majority religion and it controls a large portion of this country's political climate. You can't even run for office as an Atheist in a handful of states. Hell I'd say you have to almost run as a Christian to win for office anywhere. When a politician creates an entire campaign with rhetoric against Christianity and wins partly because of it or when hate groups start blaming Christians for everything wrong in the world, then you can have your persecution. Until then, you're overstating things.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 3, 2017 -> 03:02 PM) Come on man. Christians are the only religious group that is mocked? Thats f***ing insanity. I hope you are joking or have you head buried so far in the sand you havent seen a single movie or tv show. Ever. I guess Greg's never been asked to leave this country because of his religion. Nor have neo-nazis on the internet (and real life) blamed his entire religion for everything wrong in the world. But people making fun of his religion? That s***'s persecution.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 3, 2017 -> 04:14 PM) No need to do that. Just marvel at the current NBA as a whole for the time being. We're about 5-6 weeks away from what is shaping up to be the greatest nba finals of all-time. The Bulls, at some point, will get with the times. Can't be this inept forever. Watching you talk about the NBA is like watching Apple talk about their iPhones.

QUOTE (daggins @ May 2, 2017 -> 08:35 PM) Melky gets thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double so often i'm just gonna call that a Melky from now on. It's like he thinks he's fast or something.

I thought that one was gone.

Cubs need bullpen help bad. Their defense didn't help them, but Uehara basically handed the game to the Red Sox.

Damn, that's a terrible injury.

I think it's official, the Sox do well when we have zero expectations.

Watch this team pull a 2000 White Sox on all of us.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 01:46 PM) It's always someone else's fault with him. Why don't they press him on his comment that Flynn, much like Bill O'Reilly later, did nothing wrong. So if Obama's been such a failure for so long (according to Trump) and he did the same thing the Obama administration did, wouldn't that mean that Trump also failed?

Browns might trade for Cousins.

Did the Niners somehow convince the Bears they were going to take Trubisky?

Trubisky are you f***ing kidding me?

I hope we didn't give up anything too crazy to move up one pick.

QUOTE (almagest @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 03:41 PM) I haven't yet, but I've watched a lot of 4k content on Youtube, Amazon, Netflix and 4k Bluray and I'm a full convert. I can't wait to see sports in 4k. It's crazy how 4k sports hasn't gone mainstream yet. 4K TVs are very affordable now.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 03:09 PM) Both Kiper and McCshay have Browns taking Trubisky #1 in their final mock. The more I see all the mocks connecting Browns to Trubisky, the more that it makes sense the Browns play it safe and just draft him #1. I don't understand this. The Browns have a ton of draft picks and I don't think Tennessee wants to pick at #5. Why don't the Browns trade for #5 with their #12 and a second round pick instead?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 03:34 PM) The one bad thing for the Bears is that next years draft supposedly has the superior QB talent, but unless youre the browns its hard to consistently get top 2 picks. They could also just wait till round 3-4 and grab a guy like Peterman. (edit) New rumors are Garrett will be #1 and Jags may take Watson. Kiper and McShay just said Trubisky will go #1 in their latest mock. It'd be kind of weird for Jacksonville to take Watson considering Bortles isn't a complete flop (yet).

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 12:12 AM) I repeat, the radio talk show guys say Trump has been awesome thus far and there's a liberal attack on the White House that is failing. lol who, Rush Limbaugh?

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 26, 2017 -> 04:11 PM) 11-9, best bullpen this month. Same thing happened last year with this pen. Then it turned into our biggest weakness after April.

It's looking like Hahn made a good gamble with Robertson. He looks as sharp as ever right now. He can fetch a lot at the deadline I'd imagine.
