Should have played Bennett over Witten. But I still have a comfortable 50 point lead and that's with Vincent Jackson and Drew Brees to go.

Lasik? Anyone have it done?
My brother and dad have had it done. My brother no longer needs contacts and has near perfect vision, my dad only needs reading glasses (he also had cataracts, so he had worse eyes) after needing coke bottle glasses for everything. My optometrist has recommended to me that I get LASIK soon, which I would if it were covered by insurance. That's partially because it's her specialty. I'd recommend it if you think it'd help.

9/14 vs Indians
QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 15, 2013 -> 01:37 AM) Cause they might have paid 80 bucks for a gawddarn ticket and tons more for beer? Booooooooo. Amen, brother. He has done one of the worst jobs in baseball history this season. Teams in our division are NOT that good. They are AVERAGE. And we lose to all of them daily except one, the Royals. Please quit, Robin. You are not cut out for this job. Loved you as a player, but just quit. Best post of the month! But the Royals are the best one, so it doesn't matter right?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 14, 2013 -> 09:29 PM) Why would anybody boo today? The season was over 3 months ago, who cares? Do I need to answer?

I remember seeing this in the offseason, so that it still holds true is interesting.

NBA Thread 2013-2014
QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 12:11 PM) I think everyone is really overplaying the whole weed thing with Beasley. Yes, he is an idiot for getting caught and a big idiot for getting caught more than once but I highly doubt it is affecting him on the floor. There's probably tens of players who binge drink and play hungover and I am sure that it has a much bigger effect than Beasley smoking pot. How do you even know that he never smoked before the NBA? He went to 5 high schools in 4 years. The kid was a trouble maker and I would assume he smoked in high school and college. Not to mention Joakim Noah has been pictured buying a bong in Wrigleyville. Does anyone here doubt his motor? Different guys have different reactions. Beasley became lazy and inactive. Jo has kept his energy.

Syria
QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 11:35 AM) like when a country with 7 million German immigrants went to war with Germany twice. Confrontation with China is a matter of when not if. We don't really need them and soon they won't really need us, once we cross that threshold and China becomes increasingly aggressive something will happen. Probably not open war or anything wild but I seriously doubt we'll be on good terms with China 10 years from now. That'd be a quick way for China to destroy its economy. The world economy makes any such war unlikely. If this were the 1940s, it'd happen. Not so much now.

NBA Thread 2013-2014
Remember when there was legitimate argument of Rose vs. Beasley? I still think the Bulls take Beasley if Rose weren't the hometown hero. But the second Beasley got to the league he has gotten so damn high that he lost his motor from college.

Syria
QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 03:11 AM) Yes but what do we get out of being nice to Russia? It's China and Korea that are the maniacs I think would lob a nuke at us if they get to that point. Less tension in the world. The whole China vs. US possible war is never going to happen. Too co-dependent on each other. North Korea's nuclear war would be over the second they launched the missile. It'd never hit the US. Possibly Seoul.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 01:14 AM) I just wish our government officials would blast Putin more. Today was a start in response to his moronic editorial. Kudos to those with the balls to blast this jerk, Putin. Wouldn't be smart stooping to his level. Don't need a Cold War like atmosphere.

Chris Beck article
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 12, 2013 -> 07:39 PM) Without seeing him throw, sounds like Jon Garland type of pitcher, pitching to contact and getting lots of balls in play. And it sounds like he has the stuff to get strikeouts. I like having young pitchers in the pipeline.

September 11
I was in third grade, sick that day. Mike and Mike broke the news to my dad and I while he took me to my grandmother's house. It took me a while to grasp it, then I did when the second tower hit. It's weird, almost all my memories are of the Post-9/11 world. This Cracked article touches on how everything changed really well. http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-6-weirdest...rned-since-911/

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 08:23 AM) DirecTV simply has HBOGO as part of their on demand. As a college student who's TV service is provided by the apartment, that does not help me. My parents get HBO, so I just have their account.

9/10 vs Tigers
QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 09:40 PM) He has a good curve. The Tiger's announcers at one point called it Verlanderesque but noted that he didn't seem to throw it much. That curve looked nasty at some points.

Got my Chromecast. Being able to stream HBO GO, albeit from a computer laptop, is pretty sweet.

2013 Video Game Thread
QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 10:19 PM) Sony announces PS Vita TV. If they can get the PS4 streaming part of it done well enough, this will be so worth the $100. Check this out... http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/09/09/why...-a-game-changer You can now play PS Vita games, AND use your PS4 on ANY TV in your house, AND turn your TV in to a smart TV for $100. And best part is you never have to own a PS Vita. Hell, I've never owned a handheld gaming device since my Gameboy color like 15 years ago. But now I will have the chance to not only have a PS4 in a second room in my house, but I can buy a PS Vita game and play it on a full screen TV without even owning a Vita. I'd throw $100 at that s***. Also lets you use Netflix and Hulu like other devices. The Ouya is f***ed.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 8, 2013 -> 04:37 PM) The ball distribution by the Bears was fantastic, The Bengals were expecting Jay to lock onto Marshall and that did not happen at all. Marshall with 100 yards and 3 others with 40+ is nice.
