QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 08:25 PM) It sounds like it is Drose vs. Bulls. Rose's camp wants him to sit out and a lot of rumors he will. Sorry, but that is f***ing pathetic. Rose...man up and play. If Rose's camp has killed his competitive fire, they officially become public enemy #1 in Chicago.

QUOTE (Jake @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 08:11 PM) From the information at hand, I will have lost some respect for Rose if he doesn't come back this season. I suppose more info could come forth, but it appears that would be a solely self-serving measure at this point. I work with the person that was the trainer at Memphis when he was there, and he insists that Derrick had a reputation as a "p****" when it came to injuries. I didn't buy it...but maybe? We'll see. Could be the media overplaying a statement. I sadly agree with this. What happened to the kid who said "Why can't I be MVP" and would play through ulcers and say he'd die on the floor?

Been voting as often as I remember to. Apparently an announcer for the Quidditch World Cup last year is a finalist as well. I shall do my best to bad mouth him for you.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 09:53 AM) ChiTribSports ‏@ChiTribSports Bears terminate Johnny Knox's contrac I feel bad for Knox. Best of luck to him.

So this means Rose will be back next home game.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 02:54 AM) They've underrated the Sox by 7.125 games on average each year. So it should be a good bet that the Sox will win 84-85 games this year then. I approve.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Feb 11, 2013 -> 09:15 PM) Goes to show you the effect dogs have on wack jobs. God I'm glad he isn't in a White Sox uniform anymore. the f***?

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Feb 11, 2013 -> 05:05 PM) NFL might widen the field 10 yards for safety reasons. Emery already knew this and that's why he hired the best CFL coach. Genius.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 11, 2013 -> 03:17 PM) http://www.southsidesox.com/minors/2013/2/..._medium=twitter To me, this is a look into the mind and view of where the Sox plan on heading in the next few years. Refocusing as much as they have on the minor league system is going to pay off tremendously down the road for them, even if they struggle this year. I like this. Side note: I got into an argument on facebook today where after a lengthy post of mine the opponent left. It reminded me of my greatest internet moment. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...3338&st=450 - for your reading pleasure

I loved my Mazda3 Hatchback when I had it, but it had a lot of random problems happen (all of which stemmed from the engine dying far before it's time, but I don't think it'd be the norm) and I love my Honda Civic. But if I have to give any advice it's go to multiple dealers and use their offers to talk down the others. "Well I have this place offering me this..." So on and so forth.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 10, 2013 -> 09:27 AM) Players were right. It's a much bigger "f*** you" to Kansas to not storm. That's why I think storming the court is so dumb. Despite being mad about it, I understand it. I'm actually somewhat amazed they stopped the student section. It was like a dam ready to burst and then nothing.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 10, 2013 -> 09:21 AM) @CSNCoop: Classic ESPN journalism- three guests ripping Freeh report, defending Paterno. No one giving the other view. I'd work for ESPN in a second, but they are terrible journalists over there.

Do the Paterno's realize that by doing this, they're only reintroducing what s*** Paterno was into the public memory?

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 10, 2013 -> 12:36 AM) #4 at home favored over #8. OMG WE BEAT KANSAS, SUCH A BETTER TEAM, WE'RE SO LUCKY, NO WAY WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THIS GAME, LET'S STORM. Smart players. I think "last game in storied rivalry that your rival has historically dominated with late come back" allows an exception.

Damnit.

Dear lord, 5OT

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 9, 2013 -> 10:18 PM) Everyone should rush the floor every game. It's fun. Bonus points for a strong "overrated" chant while doing so. I'll forever be mad after the last Mizzou-Kansas game that we didn't storm the court. The players ran over and stopped the student section because they said it was a bigger "f*** you" to Kansas to not storm. I'm surprised we listened to them.

Also, the Rays' windsail stadium design would have been awesome.

QUOTE (southside_hitman @ Feb 9, 2013 -> 10:28 PM) Yes indeed, the truth hurts and just to make things worse, Ricketts is now going to spend 300 Million on Wrigley. He is doing that because he realizes that Wrigley in itself draws fans even when the Cubs suk, which is more often than not. Reinsdorf also knows that Sox fans come out even less when the team isn't winning. Here are some suggestions I have for possible improvements to the stadium and surrounding area. Tail gating is something Chicago fans love and something that the Wrigley will never offer. I would like to see the concrete wall to the East of the South parking lot covered with ivy. Perhaps the driveway could be moved in so that area is expanded for picnic tables and perhaps some outdoor concessions. As far as the housing to the East of the South parking, perhaps that could be acquired in some joint deal with a developer to place some mixed use residential/commercial project. Inside the Park I would like some changes but realize the money for most of them is just not there. The scoreboard is fine except I would remove the spinning twirly birds. They harken back to the Veeck era and the circus atmosphere he always wanted to create. Next I would minimize the modern look of the exposed tubular pipe trusses in the outfield. Perhaps some steel sheets could be welded to make them look solid, or they could be bricked up to a point.Compare the steel work supporting the lights at Wrigley. The outfield wall is another feature that looks like foam pads covering a chain link fence. It would be nice if that were made permanent with masonry split arched openings echoing the shape of those from the original park and foam padding only extended up 7 feet. If there was ever a larger pool of money I would like to see the Right field grandstand pictured in one of the links here. I always liked sitting in the upper tank at the old park and there are no views in the new park that are comparable. You keep the twirly birds. Right field granstand would be awesome.

Rose is a tank now.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Feb 9, 2013 -> 01:19 AM) I agree. It's now a beautiful ballpark. Still, that skyline beyond the outfield would have been wonderful. It's the one flaw. Wasn't it because they wanted to keep the same mailing address or some s***?

With the current renovations The Cell is wonderful. Also, I know there are a lot statues, but they add a nice touch as well.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 7, 2013 -> 03:07 PM) For the second time, they were already engaged previously. I actually didn't have a problem with it, because I know a lot of couples that know they're getting married before the question so they don't care as much about it. Just funny that ESPN had to pry into his life and GO "OMG LOOK AT DAT BUM CULTER"
