QUOTE (High Mileage @ Jul 12, 2012 -> 08:10 PM) No. Bill Self is 16-4 against Mizzou. Why would he want to stop playing them? Yes. http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball...ept-realignment And it's because he said there's nothing to gain, seeing as it has no effect on Big 12 standings. But then why bother playing Duke, UCLA, Kentucky, and Ohio State? He's just bitter.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 12, 2012 -> 03:28 PM) Literally. The entire campus. I've worked on summoning that meteor. It takes a lot of work. Plus, I asked the Gods for a whole Sodom and Gomorrah thing, they said it's too much now with Twitter.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 12, 2012 -> 11:33 AM) On The Franchise last night, the Marlins Team President asked Ozzie about three times "are you sure you're not keeping Heath Bell as closer only due to him making 9 million a year?". Ozzie responded that wasn't the reason why he wanted him to be closer, as he felt the team was better with Bell as the closer and the 9 million dollar salary was the fault of the front office, and not him. Seriously. I'm still dying of laughter from this.

Give Penn State the death penalty.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 12, 2012 -> 09:19 AM) I don't understand having Chris Beck waaay ahead of Heidenreich. Same age, one a second rounder, the other a fourth, Beck getting pretty much lit up at Great Falls, Heidenreich solid now at High A (combined 101 innings/3.38 ERA/.244 BAA/pitching against older players). Seems like Beck is annoited hhis status. Heidenreich has been in the system a few years. Beck was just drafted.

First, because I said so.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 12, 2012 -> 03:12 AM) What if he did something like Paterno, won a national championship, but protected or excused Sandusky? Would you take down his statue? What would Ozzie have to do that you would consider indefensible or not part of his acceptable "entertaining Ozzie persona"? Um, Caulfield, I'm gonna stand up for Greg here. Idolizing Ozzie is one thing. Protecting him like the Penn State Paternites is different.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 08:18 PM) i dont really know what one has to do with the other Dunn let Butler hit so KC could see him.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 05:50 PM) Why can't we see that? Because we're not buffoons. It's because this is the Greg school of arguing: 1) Feign ignorance and ask a question that he knows the answer to. 2) Wait for a large argument to be placed. 3) Cherry pick one point, repeat same argument. 4) Deny stuff. That being said Greg, these forums would be less interesting without you.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 02:09 PM) I'll take a vote. Do you all really want me to go thru that long, well thought out post point by point and re-but? I will if you want that. I dont think people want me to do that. I love hawk, but he is going to make the current guy look good, which is fine. I like Ventura as well. Ugh. This argument confounds me. My god. they bring in a closer for a gadzillion dollars; you have to pitch the guy in the closer's rule. It's the closer trashing their season, not ozzie. Now I guess it's to the point he's going to have to do something; Oz has indicated that, but he STILL doesn't want to replace Bell. My guess is Bell will start the second half as the closer, as he should. See what happens. Or closer by committee, but you got to go with the high paid acquisition; why can't u guys see that?? It's called a TEAM; gm acquires players; you play them. Now the closer can be kept out of a game or two, but until the GM disposes of him, he's the high paid guy who plays. This is sports; this is life. Your argument confounds me. The Giants sure as hell didn't rely on Zito.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 01:59 PM) My Mother is a huge Sox fan and I want to take her to Elvis night, Aug 3rd vs. the Angels. I see where I can snag some Club Level (Sec 318) seats for about $75 per ticket. My question is, have any of you sat in the Club Level recently, and if so what are the pros/cons?? They have their own vendors? They have an AC bar or restaurant? Their own bathrooms? How's the view? Any input is much appreciated!! When I was there the food was good and the view is the best in the park.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 12:46 PM) This At the risk of sounding too much like Balta, we already discussed this a bit in the Catch-All Anything thread. We determined I'd strike out looking.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 09:47 AM) Pringles version are better imo. I'm not a fan of Pringles flavored chips. I love the original Pringles, but the powder on the flavored ones are just...blech. Also, add Jimmy Johns BBQ chips to my list.

Noah looks like a steal contract after this offseason. Also, I'd take Ellington and a second for Korver. I'd rather have Korver, but I really like Ellington out of college. Maybe going from the environment of the TWolves to the Bulls could help him. Also, I miss being able to like Jesus Shuttlesworth. Ray was one of my favorite non-Bulls.

Me to Cowley article:

Top 5 honestly felt better than expected.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 02:52 AM) I think there are rules against attacking people. Domino Drunky is kind of mean. Your attack takes away from your well thought out arguments. Translation: You have defeated me, but I'm going to ignore it.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 12:47 AM) Wasn't there a former Bear player who died recently having a seizure while driving? No idea. I'm just saying, you can get f***ed up even if you're not in a vehicle.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 10, 2012 -> 11:59 PM) Am I the only one to find the ESPN The Mag Body Issue...weird and creepy? Gronkowski with a pinata on his nuts? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be getting from this. Respect the glory of Tyson's ass gracing the front page. Can't they be in underwear? What's wrong with underwear?

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 12:02 AM) They're aren't usually in too much danger unless they operate a vehicle. False. I was in a pool of my blood because it sliced my chin open. Edit: For example, when I came to, my hand was red, my contacts had popped out from impact, and the ER thought my spine might be broken. I wasn't driving. I was outside.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 10, 2012 -> 11:22 PM) Oh, OK. I get it now. KU fans shouted s*** at a Quidditch match? Geez. Yeah, it was ridiculous. I love their team though. One was a guest on my podcast. Another brought me water after we thought I had a concussion at the Midwest Cup.
