QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 02:35 PM) yeah, i made a mistake, i was still thinking old school. but in the east Det, the the Metropolitan is the one i am leery of. I think what he meant is that he's surprised you'd say the Hawks aren't better than Dallas, LA and a lot of EC teams. QUOTE (DBAHO @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 08:54 PM) So non Hawks related, I'm in Boston for Christmas, and I'm after Bruins Tickets for their game on Saturday Night. Unfortunately the cheapest I can find so far is $130. Is anyone aware of any other Ticketing Sites besides the usual ones (Stubhub etc.)? Give ebay a shot. I used to sell a lot of my tickets there

The pick has to be defense, unless Tunsil falls. I'd love it if Ramsey somehow fell to them

Kane has had a point in every game this year with the exception of 3

Danault isn't the great PK'er that Kruger is but he is a better offensive player. Better now than in April. He'll be back for the important ones

Kruger out 4 months

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 08:43 AM) He lost his job in last year's playoffs. That is why he will be behind those other guys. You're right. No great goalie has ever had a bad playoff game before.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 13, 2015 -> 04:02 PM) It happens very rarely, and iirc Pittsburgh had a crazy kicking issue when they finally did it Teams can find kickers anywhere. Pittsburgh ended up cutting Scobee and finding someone off of Houston's PS who has been good. The Bears need to look elsewhere now, too. Gould was working construction when they signed him. It's apparent that he doesn't have it anymore so whether that's trading him or cutting him, it's time to find someone else. He has played a major role in pissing away chances of making the playoffs.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 13, 2015 -> 03:05 PM) Who trades for a kicker QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Dec 13, 2015 -> 03:11 PM) Lol, this QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 13, 2015 -> 03:08 PM) The mere fact that you suggested anyone trade for a kicker shows how disconnected from reality you are. The best parts about these posts is not only are you all wrong as Pittsburgh gave up a 5th for Josh Scobee before the year, but the point originally was Gould wasn't good anymore and I was told he was because he made like 6 big field goals over the last few years. Wow, it's like a kicker making $4.1 million should make big kicks. Unreal!

Gould sucks. Weeks ago I said they should trade him (when he was 17/17) and I was told how dumb I am.

A week or so ago he admitted he still had pain. This many days later it has to be painful still unless football practices help pain. It's also not a playoff team that's supposed to play in a downpour on Sunday. Letting White play would be senseless and it's a smart for him to not play until September 2016.

How the f*** has no one said Andy Gonzalez? I remember he had a 5-5 game in Tampa but man he f***ing sucked

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:00 AM) Mike Daniels of the Packers should be their #1 target in free agency. He's been studly this year. I also expect Danny Trevathan to be a Bear. Gipson & Trevathan would be tremendous additions. Take A'Shawn Robinson in round 1 and Shilique Calhoun in round 2 and all of a sudden you're giving an already solid defense some *great* players.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 07:46 PM) South Dakota State is pretty good. Well to be beating Minnesota by 23 is eye opening no matter how good especially since they lost to UMKC

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 07:47 PM) Wouldn't Saad's agent have a say with that...? Perhaps Bowman was trying to talk to Saad to lower his demands because maybe his agent wasn't budging. Again, I doubted it too until Kaplan made mention

Minnesota is losing by 18 to South Dakota St. Is Minnesota *that* bad?

They got Swanson? Holy f***

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:41 PM) And even if it is true getting $6 million annually vs $5 million annually is a huge raise. Yes, it is a ton of money either way but we aren't talking about a guy getting MLB star money where $1 million a year isn't as big of a deal. I would've taken the Hawks deal, $6m less over 6 years & all. Chicago > Columbus & a better chance of winning QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:31 PM) In what world is a GM going to call a player, get his dad, and then still outline his contract offer to him? Also worth noting is that Saad's father is native Syrian, who moved here at age 18. I am guessing at best he is ESL, so the likelihood his being involved in his son's contract negotiations directly have to be pretty slim. He wasn't "involved" technically. Bowman tried to reach Saad and his dad spoke for his son. Kane's dad was the same was in his negotiations. Kane's dad does *a lot* of approving and disapproving for his son. QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:17 PM) Do you have a link for that published story? It's not published.

It's 100% true. I have a friend who works for WGN. While I doubted it originally, Kaplan made mention of it the other day on STL, saying (paraphrasing): "I wonder how much daddy likes his son's odds of winning in Columbus."

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 06:49 PM) that was harsh. but i like him as a player, came everyday, no fan fare. i hope the best for him. You like him as a player?!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 11:59 AM) What did his dad say? It goes like this: -Bowman calls Saad to offer him $5m a year -Saad is fishing but his dad answers -Saad's dad said that's a lowball offer and to make it work they should trade Kane -Bowman says "that's not happening" and hangs up -Saad comes in, talks to his dad and calls Bowman back to accept -Bowman says "sorry you're on your way to Columbus already" All that for $1m extra annually

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 10:17 AM) Brandon Saad demoted to the 4th line for Columbus No goals since November 19, 3 points since November 19, no points in his last 4 games. I guess his dad was wrong

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 6, 2015 -> 07:40 PM) So how do you expect the Sox to get the position players they need for future in catcher, 3rd baseman, among others. Sox can't draft and really develop position players. Only real development they do is pitchers which is a huge wanted commodity. So Sox trade pitching to get the position players they don't have. Definitely wouldn't be trading fulmer even though right now can't be traded What's the plan then? Forever trade any marginally solid prospects for veterans who are good but not great? We can't use this excuse for the rest of eternity. Eventually you have to s*** or get off of the pot. If their scouts truly can't find a hitter and their minor league coaches can't develop them, the organization is f***ed. QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 6, 2015 -> 07:37 PM) Guys Fulmer can't be traded so don't worry. Yes he can be. QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 6, 2015 -> 07:37 PM) Where is the evidence that Fulmer would have to be involved? Frazier doesnt make the Sox a contender by himself but his 3.4 oWar and 4.6 last year is a really good start to putting them in that race. I highly doubt that the White Sox will fill 3rd base and then stop trying to upgrade at all other positions. I have no evidence. It's rumor.
