College basketball has a dunk contest during the Final four and the last spot is done by fan voting. A guy from my alma mater (SEMO) is in the semi finals. If you could go to darkhorsedunker.com and vote for Antonius Cleveland that would be awesome! You can vote once per day per device.

Go SEMO! Oh wait, wrong Valley conference.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 10:20 AM) How crazy is the male elimination going to be for the championship males? All four of those dudes are pretty formidable Yeah it sucks that one of them will have to go home while a Nelson will still be in the game

Not a fan of the team format with each team going to every other elimination. The challenges really don't mean anything

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 08:22 AM) 1. Hasn't actually done anything other than say he wants them to pay more, made some vague threats. That's not action, it's a talking point. 2. This is true. 3. Most of the one-sided tariff crap is false to begin with. Rarely does it actually happen, because countries know that trade wars are never won. And again, he's talked a lot about this, but hasn't actually done anything yet (thankfully, since trade wars never end well for either side). 4. The workaholic who got on Obama for playing golf has spent more weekends on vacation in his first month than Obama did in 6 months. OK. 5. His proposed budget does suggest this - true. Though the real work starts when he has to negotiate with Congress. So I'd call this one up in the air. Other than #2, he hasn't actually achieved anything yet. And on #2, most of the work was already planned under Obama, just maybe adding some oomph. He's accomplished remarkably little so far, which mostly is a good thing. Most of it can't be down in less then two months, it takes time. At least he is making steps towards doing the big things he talked about in his campaign.

QUOTE (New Era on South Side @ Feb 28, 2017 -> 10:09 PM) Regardless of this being early in his presidency, the impression that I get is "all talk and no action." Prove yourself or shut up Mr. Populist. Wait, he hasn't done anything he said he was going to do? How bout: We've been spending too much overseas and that's going to drastically change. Making preliminary moves like pushing NATO partners to pay more. Check. Illegals, especially criminal ones will be deported. Check. Already begun. Countries ripping us off with one sided tariffs are going are going to get them slapped on them too. In the works. Lots of progress in his first weeks on the job. Mans a workaholic so get ready for a lot steady progress each month. More investment in infrastructure and military. In the works.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 02:19 PM) He's simply awful whenever I watch. Have always hated his demeanor as well since college I remember being at a game where he choked against SEMO, had the chance to win the game with free throws and missed. Can't stand the guy

I hate seeing Taj go.

Sorry but Payne is not good. He was good player at a mid major. Plus he has a stupid haircut and face

Nevermind, have a dumb wedding that day.

Always hype about us talking trades but it rarely happens

Have to make the trip for this.

Is that John Danks blurred out behind SoxTalk or am I seeing things?

Discussions continue. where all da trades at... guess tomorrow is gonna be a busy day I would put money on that we don't make a trade

Sometimes the way the catcher sits back there kind of appeals to certain pitchers.” I hope he will be getting the majority of the starts. I think he has earned that chance

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 10:47 AM) All usual BS ST fluff stories aside Avi Garcia looks much better than he has in the past. I saw two pictures of him and he looks great. Someone told me if he sucks or doesn't make the team it's not for lack of effort. I think he sucks and the Sox should have cut ties last year but he does seem to have a lot of fans in the org. The guy works. Gotta respect him for that. Always has been a hard worker and great guy, just can't get that baseball thing down too well.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 09:42 AM) Lit. There is no doubt that you are a teenager lol. I hope that term goes away soon

Adam Dunn is what caused this rebuild!

That could have been one of the worst eliminations that I can remember. Let's watch people hold 5 balls while jumping! Woo!!

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 12:12 PM) So stoked for this guy. I think the Sox got him for an absolute steal and it would be great if he had a season similar to last year. My predictions - 9-4, 2.98 ERA, 134.2 IP, 40 BB's, 145 K's, 1.17 WHIP, and 9.7 K/9 in 20 starts, most of which at Kannapolis but hopefully he gets promoted to Winston-Salem at some point too. If he is doing that well I would be surprised if he isn't at AA by the end of the season

QUOTE (DaveBrown85 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 05:52 PM) backyard baseball reference. I like it Backyard Baseball was the s***. I miss those games

Should have changed it to Pablo, would have gained more 'batting skill' ratings

Gotta go with younger players (Anderson, Rodon, Moncada, Giolito)

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 10, 2017 -> 07:01 PM) That Kailah girl is super hot IMO. I hope you looked at her Instagram. Very nice

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Feb 10, 2017 -> 02:10 PM) Same. I live in Clearing. Not the same 55 area lol
