QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 09:03 PM) I think Loki is solid. Maybe I'm biased to Marvel though. I'm super biased towards Marvel, and the problem with the movie villains aside from Loki is they don't get fleshing out / they turn out to be a British actor.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 08:48 PM) Kilgrave rocks! Wasn't counting the TV villains. The TV villains, especially Kilgrave, Kingpin and Ward, have been fantastic.

Regardless of who Lex is based off of, these previews we're getting of him are making him look like a terrible villain that makes me think of Dominic Greene from Quantum of Solance. Like, worse than Marvel villains, which is a pretty low bar. Obviously reserving judgement for the film itself, but based on this trailer, it looks more and more like this movie is rushing to get everyone in the film.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 11:15 AM) "The Son of Krypton vs the Bat of Gotham!!!" How f***ing cheesy. Affleck seems to pull off the cape and cowl. The rest of this looks to be a disaster. I audibly groaned at that line. And Doomsday looking like Marvel's The Abomination circa 2008, Ninja Turtle or a Cave Troll. And for a film called Batman v Superman, don't show them united IN the trailer. Does Wonder Woman just...appear?

I really liked the first minute of the trailer and suddenly found myself getting excited for the movie. Then Lex came in and killed it. Dear god does he look terrible.

Another shooting: San Bernadino
QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 05:07 PM) What is the speculation on the motivation of this one? Its not ISIS or anything right? No idea at the moment.

David Price $217mm/7 years
QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 10:01 PM) They need pitching. Q's value goes up because he now is even cheaper than what aces are going for now. This.

David Price $217mm/7 years
QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 09:24 PM) Besides Q, who else would need to be sent to the Rockies for Arenado? Montas? Honestly, the Price deal may have just boosted Q's value high enough that it could be Q and someone like Beck.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 28, 2015 -> 11:04 AM) Okafor is 19, suddenly has a lot of money, is on a potentially record-setting winless team and is apparently being heckled in bad ways. I'm willing to give him a break. Of course, this is why the rest of us go to college at that age. Do your stupid s*** in an environment that allows for some of it and has a support system in place. +1

White Privilege?
QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 27, 2015 -> 10:01 PM) Now there is talk that Mizzou has to hire an African American football coach or there could be rioting. Poor Missouri. It hampers your coaching search when your fans DEMAND a certain type of coach you must hire. I am all for the best candidate, white, black, blue, gray, whatever!, but I doubt Charlie Strong is gonna run away from Texas for MU just cause some fans despise him. It's not healthy that protestors are getting involved in this as well. Geez. Mizzu should hire whomever it wants. Pinkel was a damn fine coach; the successor could come from his staff. Whether the man is white or black shouldn't matter to the protestors. Citation needed.

The second three-peat Bulls team is probably the best designed team ever to defeat these Warriors.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Nov 18, 2015 -> 01:15 PM) I was surprised that armor and guns don't deteriorate in Fallout 4. I'm not really mad they don't have that, but it does kind of make sense in the game world. QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 18, 2015 -> 01:22 PM) It just brought in another annoying inventory management aspect, though. I thought I would miss it because of the realism, then realized I didn't have to lug around 3 pieces of each time or armor in case it needed emergency repairs.

I haven't encountered one since the one in Concord, but even with Power Armor, the Deathclaw fear has been too well ingrained in me over the years.

White Privilege?
QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 15, 2015 -> 08:16 PM) Hard to believe, but the Missouri protesters are tweeting that the media should be covering "terrorism" on their campus as much as the situation in France. Just proves more and more these mass death incidents aren't even considered out of the ordinary anymore. How dare those students tweet that their deal is more important than 120 people being killed in France. Greg, five minutes on twitter and you'd realize those tweets weren't coming from Mizzou students or people in Columbia. Do some research for once, will you?

Should the White Sox and Atlanta talk trade?
QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 15, 2015 -> 07:15 PM) Imagine how stacked the Sox system would be if they traded Sale, Q, Abreu, Eaton, Rodon, etc. Trading Rodon for prospects would be so idiotic that Hahn should be fired on the spot if he even proposed it.
