QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 10:18 PM) I highly doubt no big free agents wanna come here with gar/pax in charge This year, I don't want any free agents to come here. I want room for two maxes next year.

Rick Hahn
QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 09:22 PM) Hahn hasn't done anything to deserve to keep his job honestly. Nobody is this organization has done anything to keep their jobs. Whether it be management, coaching, player development, or scouting, this club is behind in almost every category.

Jason Benetti, new Sox home PxP
QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 10:08 PM) Somebody put he has cerebral palsy. Does he use a cane? I really respect him after reading his bio. Must be a special guy. I don't believe he does. But man, he's so refreshing. The home broadcast is so listenable. Makes me wish Hawk would just call it quits.

Yankees ditch TM for StubHub, no more printed tix
Good. I'm tired of ticketmaster and their nonsense. I get Stubhub isn't a ton better, but I'm seriously tired of the extraneous fees on TM.

Damn this Cubs team is a fun watch. Joe Maddon is playing Go when the rest of the league is playing checkers.

Pretty sure even if the Cubs make it through the stacked NL playoffs, they will get killed by the AL winner.

2016-2017 NFL Thread
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 02:55 PM) They are celebrating 1985 today because Buddy Ryan died. If they had won 5 Super Bowls since, they would be all 1985 today. Yes, but it's just so tired and pathetic now because it has been going on for years.

2016-17 NHL Thread
I'm really interested to see how the next CBA will affect some of the Blackhawks' long term contracts. The NHL is struggling financially and it's looking more and more likely that players are going to have to take a haircut.

2016-2017 NFL Thread
QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 01:58 PM) No, I just found it funny that you are decrying fanboyism while parroting Bernstein Thinking Hub Arkush cries every time he says something positive about the Bears is fanboyism. Agreeing with radio hosts that the 85 Bears are old news and the excessive celebration of that team is a product of a terrible organization is just common sense. Dan Bernstein isn't particularly intelligent, but he's on the money on this.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 28, 2016 -> 01:47 PM) Hey look, someone else is listening to Bernstein too Did he say something wrong? Pretty sure he didn't. Both networks are unlistenable today with the 85 Bears talk.

2016-2017 NFL Thread
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 05:53 PM) Hub Arkush who probably pukes anytime he gives the Bears a compliment, says they have gone from the worst inside LBs in the league to the best. Fanboyism at its finest. You don't have to like Hub, but he's very intelligent when it comes to the NFL. It's too bad, by the way, that Chicago has milked the crap out of the 1985 Bears for 30 years, because it's such a sad day for the Bears organization, but the general feeling about the 85 Bears stories is exhaustion. It's all been so overdone now. And it's still embarrassing the Bears have to celebrate a Super Bowl from three decades ago.

Tim Anderson
B. Not quite the upper echelon we all dreamed of, but a serviceable piece with room to improve. Can't give him an A compared to other rookies out there.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 27, 2016 -> 08:33 PM) Great for Shawzie. Almost making as much as his buddy Bicks. He's got his 2 cup rings, might as well get yourself set for life. Not bad for a 5th round pick passed over twice. It's amazing what a 3rd or 4th line talent can make.

Of course Todd Frazier is hitting under .200

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 07:55 PM) It's a drop from a Gas Money episode a couple years ago. B&B played it a lot. The Gas Money Bob twitter account is pretty funny. People b**** and moan about B&B all the time. Just don't listen to them if you don't like them. It's that easy.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 03:16 PM) Not to mention he has chronic foot problems as well. Of course, most big men do but his slowed him down even more when he had knee issues. Maybe he has magically been healed and he is giving teams a good medical to look at but I am sure not buying it. And I love Jo. The problems just add up. Plantar Fasciitis is a mess.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 02:36 PM) There is no way in hell that rumor is true. They couldnt possibly be that dumb to give a guy with one knee that kind of money. If true, that is terrible news for us. That would completely destroy the FA market. Every bum FA's price would skyrocket.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 07:17 AM) Yeah I like the Thunder as well but that's if Durant resigns. He will re-sign. He won't want a big deal until after the cap expands. Signing a long term deal with anyone right now is leaving a lot of cash on the table.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 01:32 PM) We're gonna see fringe starters get what Jimmy Butler got last off-season. Just because they have to fill their cap with something to get over the threshold. That's why getting Lopez wasn't a horrible deal. He'll be less expensive under the new cap.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 11:49 AM) isnt the cap about to take a huge leap? Yes. Cap worries have evaporated for a couple of years, for sure. That's why the Lopez contract just doesn't matter.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 08:53 AM) Well, today could be very interesting for the Hawks. Kruger and/or Shaw could be on their way out. Please let it be Shaw. He just feels like an overpayment waiting to happen.
