QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 12:00 PM) Someone didn't make the honor roll! This reminds me of how back in like, second grade, I was scolded for reading a 5th grade level or something and being visibly proud of the fact.

The Wussification of America
QUOTE (Cknolls @ Mar 20, 2013 -> 09:14 PM) An Ipswitch, Ma., middle-school principal has canceled his school’s annual honors assembly because it was too upsetting for some students. Boston’s Fox affiliate reports the explanation of Principal David Fabrizio, the man at the center of the silliness: “Honors Night, which can be a great sense of pride for the recipients’ families, can also be devastating to a child who has worked extremely hard in a difficult class but who, despite growth, has not been able to maintain a high grade point average.” Fabrizio also justified his decision by claiming it was unfair to reward good grades — which can be be influenced by the home environment and supportive parents — because not all of students have access to equal amounts of academic and emotional support. Now this is just silly.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 11:36 AM) Wilt would still hang today. A lot of those guys were twigs and smaller back then because they didn't have modern medicine and nutrition helping them out. Wilt would roll the NBA right now...and he'd probably f*** it right after that, because he pretty much f***ed anything in site. A lot of guys still would. Wilt would still be dominate. Gilmore, Gervin, Nate Thurmond. Yeah, the average player is bigger, stronger, and faster now but those four and many others would still be able to play ball today. QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 11:37 AM) DRose said he feels great. As for his return date? "Nobody knows but God." So clearly he is returning on Easter.

John Danks surgery/rehab/recovery thread
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 08:43 AM) Danks expected to start on DL with Axe as fifth starter... http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...2fb_share%22%7D How a long a leash do Quintana, Axelrod, and Gavin get now? Santiago could very well claim the spot of the worst one. If Quintana does poorly, Santiago steps in. If Axelrod does poorly, Santiago steps in then Danks takes over. If Floyd does poorly, Axelrod takes his spot and Santiago takes over until Danks returns. Or they all do fantastically and we have a good problem. QUOTE (balfanman @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 08:43 AM) I really do respect the opinion of everyone here.....well....most of you anyway, but I believe that Hahn, Ventura, and Cooper have a strong desire to win. They also, along with Mister Schneider, know best the condition of Jon Danks. I for one will trust their opinions on who the 5th starter should be, temporarily or not.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 11:23 AM) how come I suck so bad at NBA2K12????? Dump all points into 3 point shooting and some basic low post skills. Use a lot of picks. I had a streak of like, 45, 59, 67, 75, 80, 104 in my rookie season and my player only had one elite skill, the threes, with a decent post game.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 11:17 AM) I hope they break it. I really do. Just like I hope to see someone score 100 points in a game some day. Well, I still hate LeBron, so I don't want him to break it. 100 points...only player who currently has a shot is Durant. And it'd have to multiple overtime with Westbrook and Martin both deferring to him like madness or being injured.

Hope he gets a good deal somewhere else. He'll look really stupid if that was the best offer he gets. He can't go back and accept it now. My guess is he plays this year, then retires.

Catch-All Anything Thread
QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 19, 2013 -> 05:22 PM) Good point, my question - is the total rent $700? Or were they splitting it evenly for $950 and they settled on $700? That would seem odd, even though it does benefit him. I'm gonna go read the lease I signed and go over all the fine details on Thursday. $700 is the rate for a single bedroom apartment. Hopefully I can get him to pay the difference seeing as I'm not the reason for his medical problems. I'd rather not sue him because I do love the guy. Problem is I can't even find a subleaser because most summer subleases are $500/summer, not $475/mo

2013 Video Game Thread
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 19, 2013 -> 09:47 AM) I've been playing that and the Simpsons Tap Out game. Both pretty good. So because of the launch screw up with Simcity, EA is giving me a free game. Anyone have any thoughts on Mass Effect 3 or Battlefield 3? I've only played one of the Battlefield games and that was like 4 years ago with Battlefield 1943. I'm leaning towards Mass Effect 3. Mass Effect 3 if you played the first two. Then when you get to the last 15 minutes, create an ending in your head.
