QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 22, 2013 -> 04:27 PM) Lions won I know they did, I meant it's great when all 3 lose but I'll take 2 outta 3 all day.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 22, 2013 -> 03:06 PM) Disagreed. Always nice to see divisional opponents struggle, a loss for both would be fantastic. (I of course am talking about the fact that both the Vikes and Pack are on TV here) How bout them Browns! ok, u got a good point, always great to see the Pack, Vikes and Lions lose...now we need to win tonight

Call me a meathead but Sunday day games without a Bears football game bores me to death.

This reminds me of the time J4L said DeAndre Jordan was gonna be an elite big. That was hilarious. This mancrush on Beasley is pretty sad.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 12, 2013 -> 11:34 AM) I think really all Beasley offers the heat is a stretch-4 who can put it on the floor a little bit. Then again, with that team, they can pretty much put anybody anywhere and be successful They already have Bosh for that and Bosh >>> Beasley.

Oooh the Heat have Beasley and Oden, I'm scurrred! Not really, no one on the Heat scares me but LeBron. Take LBJ away and the Bulls beat them in 5, maybe even sweep.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 12, 2013 -> 11:21 AM) Well into their pro careers? When did he say this? The year Rodgers busted out and was having a great season, he kept saying he'd still take Sanchez because at that point, Mark had a playoff win while Aaron had not. That was his reasoning. The guy's a moron.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 12, 2013 -> 10:19 AM) Yeah, Cowherd was all about Sanchez leading up to the draft. He was wowed by Sanchez having the "it" factor. Everyone misses on quarterbacks...the Jets obviously did, and I am sure many other teams would have taken him early. He said he'd take Sanchez over Rodgers well into their pro careers, BTW. The guy's a moron.

To those who say Cowherd is intelligent, he said a few years ago that he'd take Mark Sanchez over Aaron Rodgers all day...and this is an NFL expert, lol

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 27, 2013 -> 02:44 PM) It's not the language, it's the total lack of respect for the people around her, the agents trying to do their job and protect her and so on. The disdain for people beneath her is just wrong. I bet she is a lousy tipper as well. s*** just got serious

Colin Cowherd is easily the most annoying ESPN talking head and that's saying something.

What a pathetic Mexican National Team this current side is. Forget losing vs the US in American soil, that's understandable but not getting it done against, let's face it, crappy teams is what has sunk Mexico's chances at getting to the WC. What an absolute disaster if Mexico doesn't qualify. Hundreds of millions of dollars is what the FEMEXFUT, Mexican television and other business tied to soccer will lose down here...OTOH, la seleccion nacional doesn't grab the ratings they once did, I watched half of the game last night because I had other stuff to do and there was a lot of people in the streets going about their business. I remember a time in the 90s when I lived here where any game by the National Team would leave the streets empty and everyone glued to their TVs, looks like those days are long gone, people down here are mostly meh about this team. The Mexican soccer press is in full meltdown though

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 05:31 PM) I don't know why. If they can get just 15-20 minutes a game from Oden and have him healthy for the playoffs (I know, huge if) it's more over than ever. I know if was over three years ago. But he was beastin' on the boards and defensively in about 22 MPG. Everything else has gone right for the Heat the last 7-8 years. I'm sure this will, too. I'll eat my underware if Oden lasts the whole season...

He'll be on the Heat exactly what he was in Portland, a millionaire benchwarmer. He's done.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 12:01 PM) They shouldn't worry, Trestman will be back there coaching in a couple years.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 09:53 AM) Don't you have to play for that to happen? There are exceptions, MJ in 94 > anyone in the NBA and he proved it when he came back.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 11:24 PM) The Bridge is moving along. Still liking it. I'm hooked on this show, it's gotten good reviews on metacritic and the show is supposed to take off after the 4th episode according to critics who got a private screening of the entire first season.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 09:26 PM) Did you guys know that Derrick Rose is the best player in the NBA? Only if aliens abduct that dude in Miami and that other guy in Oklahoma City...

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 11:29 AM) I'm surprised they've kept Chepo around as long as they have. They've looked disastrous for a while now. With a really tough close to the WCQs, they might have to play New Zealand for that last spot in the WC To be honest, I haven't followed the WCQs all that closely, soccer is my least favorite team sport after baseball, football, basketball and hockey, pretty much in that order ( which is kinda odd as me being Mexican-American but I was born and raised in Chicago ). I have seen the sports media here having a fit over the impotence of this Mexican National Team's performance and they lament the fact that Team USA is clearly the superior side now in CONCACAF I'm not so sure changing De La Torre would change that dynamic but maybe they'd at least stop losing to Panama. Gold Cup prediction USA 3 Panama 1

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:59 PM) Good job Mexico. Really, two straight losses to...Panama. The sports press down here are going nuts and they want Chepo De La Torre gone yesterday.

This will be my last post here but one thing that has really bothered me from the start is...why didn't Zimmerman identify himself prior to it getting physical? He had ample opportunities? "Hello, my name is George, I'm from Neighborhood Watch, I'm on patrol right now. May I ask where are you going and are you visiting someone here? Sorry but I've never seen you before?" Who here doesn't believe that wouldn't difuse the situation right then and there? IMO, that thwarts any burglary attempt if it wasn't TM on that night but a would be robber and obviously Martin would explain that he was just getting to his dad's gf's house. That is all that would've taken. But no, GZ just kept following TM, they eyeballed each other a few times and it never occured to GZ to identify himself. Seems to me Zim wasn't interested in preventing a crime but actually help arrest a criminal (TM must've been guilty of something). I know Neighborhood Watch programs are designed to prevent crime by reporting suspicious activity, not actually stopping a crime in progress, I think GZ wanted to be a hero that night and an innocent kid is dead because of it. I don't know about you but I wouldn't feel safe with a neighbor like that. Lastly, maybe Z isn't guilty according to our laws but he damn sure is morally/ethically...
