  1. After seeing that picture, all i can picture is Kerry saying to someone "If you get the opportunity, you should kill yourself"
  2. My recommendation would be to go for seats in the shade, as it gets very hot in that sun, even when the air temp is reasonable. View is still plenty good.
  3. You need to take all these shorts that you write and combine them into a novel. Itd be like a Dan Brown novel, but with more pooping and David Kaplan.
  4. One of the greatest sports days of my life came on April 18th, 2009, where I was at a bar to watch Derrick Rose's first playoff game (OT over Boston), then roof tops to watch Aramis walk off versus the Cardinals, and finishing it with a Blackhawks playoff victory that night. Until today, when Javy made me late to my softball game just so I could watch his finally AB; and he totally made it worth it.
  5. 3rd in fWAR http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=1b&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2014&month=0&season1=2014&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=21,d and 16th overall position player in baseball in fWAR Anyone else surprised that Matt Adams has been the best defensive first baseman this year?
  6. Im glad I turned the game on tonight, that was an epic performance. The way they use him to handle the ball at the top of the key...hes just such a unique player, very fun to watch.
  7. I cant wait to pop in the DVD of that 20 strikeout game when I get home.
  8. I'm assuming you're using coyote in the people smuggling sense. So if they were Kurdish refugees, and SSR were a Turkish coyote, he'd have be able to name his price (Weber's daughter) in order to whisk them away to safety? Are Weber's daughters hot? you get everything. and yes. We need pictures to judge their alleged hotness. Whatever you do, dont Google image search Bruce Weber at work hoping to find pictures of them....
  9. http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7352957/the-ninth-day-nba-christmas Simmons kind of sums up how a lot of us probably feel about Dwight right now...but we still dont get an answer to the question of why he does not want to come here.
  10. One interesting thing I heard (from someone on the radio) was that the Bears have the most rushing yards of any team when running to the right side of their line. The Bucs on the other hand give up an astounding 8+ yards per carry when teams run at the left side of their line. Put those two together, and it could be a big day for Forte. Of course, now that I said that, the Bucs will probably shut the running game down.
  11. Didnt we wear them for the Thanksgiving day game against the Cowboys in 2004 when Drew Henson got his first start?
  12. Since you are coming from Beloit, you pass right by Woodfield mall, and they have a bus service that goes to and from the game for 4 bucks each way. http://www.pacebus.com/pdf/maps/779map.pdf
  13. A) They actually pay him to write like that? B) Do they not have editors in North Dakota, or is it so bad that no editor wants their name attached to it?
  14. I got in all 8 of my windows in 5 minutes. I only wanted to buy one game, so it felt like a waste.
  15. http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/news/story?id=6054047
  16. This sucks, but looking at the brightside, it will be nice to have a Noah with fresh legs down the stretch/playoffs.
  17. Thank you. I was reading his last column and thinking, "Didnt I used to enjoy reading him?"
  18. Was anyone listening to B and B on the Score today? My signal was going in and out, so I missed parts of it, but it sounded like the Bears were saying that Cutler sustained the concussion on the last sack near the end of the half. However, Zaidman was mentioning something about Cutler going to the wrong sideline earlier in the game? Which would mean he played part of the half with the concussion. If anyone was listening and can give a quick synopsis, thatd be appreciated.
  19. Can anyone find WAR sorted by decade for players? That would probably give us a quick answer here.
  20. Whats funny is that Quade will be managing the team
  21. http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/08/promotion-caps-win-win-situation-for-sox-sale.html
  22. "So how come Victor is allowed in there....?" "It says no Zambranos, were allowed to have one."
  23. Or maybe even a 10 day contract, and then on July 18th, he can resign for a max deal. bird rights don't transfer until after year 3, pretty much so stuff like this doesn't happen. Thanks. I knew there had to be something that would prevent it, just didnt know what.
  24. As of right now, the Bulls cannot sign two max contract players. But whats to stop someone like Chris Bosh from signing a one year deal for less, and then resigning with the Bulls for a max 6 year contract the next year? Any money he would lose on that first year deal would theoretically be made up in the next deal and more with the extra year. This would be legal, since you can go over the cap if you are signing your players, right? Just thinking out loud, since this is pretty much all Ill be thinking about this week.
