  1. I'm not furious about this book, Ditka is. And how do you know it's decent? Have you read it?
  2. No one has done that here. They're just upset & questioning the guy's motive for writing this book now 13 years after Walter's death. It accomplishes nothing but making his bank account larger.
  3. You're a great friend. :good:
  4. So you'd be OK with a writer who didn't know a close friend of yours writing a book exposing all that person's flaws and demons over a decade after their death?
  5. Still going to win at least 10? Not sure on O/U this week but next week vs Baylor will surely be at least in the 80's. 1st to 60 wins that game. At this point I think 9-3 is best case scenario, so to get to 10 we would have to win the bowl. Not looking good right now.
  6. At least we get Gus Johnson calling our game this week. If the O/U is set at 100, I might still bet the over.
  7. It will probably be close. Depends how many conference game each sport plays.
  8. 2 losses in the SEC isn't so bad... They'd better get used to it. We lose a lot from this team. Next year is going to be brutal.
  9. A&M has no business being ranked after 2 straight epic collapses. Mike Sherman needs to get this [expletive] corrected and in a [expletive] hurry.
  10. [expletive] Mike Sherman.
  11. Down by the river?
  12. Kendrick Nunn announced on Twitter a short time ago that while he still likes A&M, he is re-opening the recruiting process. Not happy about this development.
  13. http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/7031006/chicago-bears-walter-payton-used-drugs-talked-suicide-according-book
  14. You're not allowed to take pictures in those types of establishments. Or so I have been told.
  15. I don't know about now but back then national broadcasts had a delay. I used to watch a lot of sports with the radio on but not the national broadcasts and it was because of this. That game absolutely, 100% had a radio delay. We gave up on Steve Lyons after about 3 outs and let Ronnie give us 5 second spoilers for the remainder of the game. If the radio had a delay, how was Ronnie giving you spoilers? That would mean that the radio was ahead of what was on TV. Again..there's no 7 second delay on a live Cubs broadcast. And wasn't one in 2003. I'm not arguing whether or not there was a delay during that game. What I don't understand is IF the radio was delayed, how could Ronnie give any spoilers? I guess TV could have been on a 12 second delay, but his point still doesn't make sense.

  17. Yes. i don't know if you're just trying to be the fanningest fan that ever fanned, or if you truly have so little going on in your life that you allow baseball games involving strangers from a decade ago to devastate you. either way, pretty sad. I ended up watching it, but it was very painful to relive those events. It's more than just one game. It's more than a series. It's more than a season. It's a [expletive] lifetime. Some of my greatest memories of childhood are of going to Wrigley with my dad. It was (and still is) a great bonding experience for us. He's been a die hard Cub fan all his life and I want the Cubs to win more for him than I do myself because I know how happy it would make him. The celebrations in Chicago would be legendary. My life wasn't devastated by that game, but it still hurts and it will until the Cubs do win it all. And if my dad dies before that happens, then 2003 will probably forever haunt me much like 1984 does when we actually had World Series tickets in our hands until the collapse in San Diego.
  18. Glad I don't get ESPN Classic anymore.
  19. I'm hoping for Ryno just to piss off some of the posters here.
  20. Ugh. Cowboy fans will be unbearable tomorrow.
  21. LOL. A manager traded for a couple of minor leaguers?
  22. This will be a nice reminder that aTm shouldn't have left their daddy. http://texags.com/images/forum/icon26.gif
