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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Had a ten team snake draft, I had the 5th pick. QB: Drew Brees RB: Arian Foster RB: DeMarco Murray WR: Brandon Marshall WR: Vincent Jackson TE: Jason Witten FLEX: Pierre Garcon K: Robbie Gould Def: Bears Bench QB: Jay Cutler Bench RB: Montee Ball Bench RB: BenJarvus Green-Ellis Bench WR: Golden Tate Bench WR: Emmanuel Sanders Bench TE: Martellus Bennett

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 (KyYlE23 @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 08:42 AM) The Ouya has a lot of bad things going on right now, their crowd funding got suspended due to suspected donation fraud http://mobile.theverge.com/2013/8/29/46728...funding-scandal Ouya is mega f***ed.

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.

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.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 08:59 PM) Yeesh. Conor. Brutal night. No kidding.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 08:11 PM) Can't watch the game. Who's making the errors and how is EJ looking? The ump has an error. EJ looking average, but I like his stuff.

I feel sorry for EJ.

Well, that's a way to give up runs.

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

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.

Holding out hope that Rodman is still an undercover CIA agent.

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.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 08:14 AM) Guess who hit it? That is actually really interesting.

I know before today Reed was a Top 5 reliever according to fWAR

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 7, 2013 -> 08:56 AM) Israel isn't our ally by the way, they've been causing more problems than they solve for a long time now. Except they are.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Sep 7, 2013 -> 12:21 AM) 5 IP, 3H, 4BB and most importantly 5Ks. Obviously the walks suck but Beck putting up 1K/IP is huge. Especially against a great line up. Developing pitchers is fun.
