    ouch Is he going to play third?
  2. jersey cubs fan
    Yes but is firing Hendry midseason Ricketts' M.O.? Oh wait, he's busy trying to get a stupid sign approved. Yes, I'm sure a man who made his billions in the trading business is incapable of juggling the impossible duel tasks of getting approval for a sign and making personnel decisions. There isn't much likelihood of a midseason move unless the team truly tanks.

    And the Alderman comes out of nowhere with a folding chair! Go Tunney. Out of character with the neighborhood? There's giant freaking advertisements every step you take in the neighborhood.

    You're right. I should totally think of Taylor when I hear LT. The reason I don't, I would imagine, is because Taylor has been retired for a significant amount of time now and just doesn't get talked about in my neck of the woods, meanwhile everyone within a 100 mile radius from me has at least 1 LaDanian Tomlinson jersey hanging in their closet. So it seams. I'm hoping that gets me a pass. Exactly. Not the Tomlinson jersey part, but he's constantly getting called LT. I never call him LT. I'm old enough to remember Lawrence Taylor as a player and I think he is the greatest defensive player that has ever played the game (Butkus close 2nd). Tomlinson should be called LDT. But I know so many people call him LT that I always assume he is the one being talked about because he is the one typically in the news in recent years. BBB gets an obvious pass, raw does not.

    If expansion occurs elsewhere, there is no way they can sit still minus 2 teams. They would be losing control by default, because that which they control would no longer be able to survive on its own.

    He knows how to hit in PNC, or something.

    Who cares about the grumpy old man story? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/don_banks/05/06/troubled-teams/index.html?eref=sihp Not a big fan of his reasoning. He insinuates that the Bears have to win the SB or Lovie and Angelo are out the door. I doubt that very much. My guess is a 10 win season would be plenty to guarantee they return. That sort of thing happens all the time. Cowher faced a couple situations where he needed to win to stem the tide of getting canned, and they won. A lot of people have said the 2008 season saved John Fox, while 2007 almost certainly saved Coughlin in NY. Fisher was starting to take heat after three disappointing years until they rebounded. Andy Reid's job continues to be threatened but he keeps making the playoffs when he most needs to succeed. Just this year Childress was almost certainly in a win or your out situation, and he won.

    Well, yes they would, as teams in their conference would be leaving, thus indicating they aren't controlling the direction of the conference. Just because those teams would leave doesn't mean UT wouldn't control the directing of the conference that remained. Of course they would. It just wouldn't be much of a conference worth controlling. But if the conference no longer exists in it's current form it's not being controlled by Texas, unless Texas is pushing those schools to leave.

    sounds like cops are saying the pimp beat her up in the process of bringing her to mr. taylor's room

    They would make more money, but they'd also lose their stranglehold on the direction of their conference. Is that worth a 7% increase in revenues? May not be to a place like Texas. My personal feeling(maybe too hopeful on my part), is that Texas won't move unless they are forced to, which is a catch-22 for those B10 fans who want them as part of an expansion. If their conference starts getting picked apart, don't they lose a strangehold over the direction of that conference?

    It was a sketchy play, but get over it. You lost by 3 goals, but 90% of the vancouver paper's article is about this one goal. Not to mention it was the last goal that came in the last 6 minutes of the game when Vancouver was already down 2 goals. It was meaningless. I wouldn't call it meaningless, it was the nail in the coffin on what was still a winnable game at the time.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    actually you guys sound like idiots talking about Milton Bradley.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Oh yeah, the cool kids know this stuff is nothing but fun times. Did I say anywhere that I condoned the kid's actions? I'm only addressing the ridiculous overreactions in the thread. And whether or not you agree with the cop's decision, the use of a taser in this situation ended up being completely counter-productive. It got the kid the recognition he was looking for (actually a lot more than he could have reasonably expected) and it encouraged a copycat the next night. The use of the taser stopped him. I'm pretty sure that's all the guy was thinking about doing. I'm also pretty sure that most of these responses have been purposefully over the top. I doubt most people actually want snipers and beatings and all the rest.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    although you're Milton Bradley riffs are fairly lame.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Probably if you start using some of the busts as tackling dummies.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    pretty entertaining show

    Simple. A lot of those people are too young to have initially associated LT with Lawrence that much. I'm 27 and I definitely think Tomlinson first. I had sort of forgotten Taylor even existed until I saw his scene in The Waterboy. I get a teenager not thinking of Taylor at all. If you're 27 you were only about 10 by the time he retired, although you were a teenager when he was very much in the news. But the others who have mentioned it, plus many people I know, are much older than that.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    I always think Lawrence Taylor, and then rethink if it's about Tomlinson. I'm not sure how people managed to transfer one of the most iconic initialed nicknames ever from one player who was huge in the 80's and 90's to a guy who arrived on the scene one decade later. I never think Tomlinson first.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    But that HR would kill the rally.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    If I say what so?

    Fine, but like TT pointed out, this isn't supposed to be people's irrational emotional dumping ground. And no, it's not only you, but it does get ridiculous how some posters act like when things don't go the Cubs way it's either the end of the world or it was some kind of preordained disaster that of course was going to happen because "only the Cubs" or that they knew was going to happen. I know it's gone unnoticed, but I've really tried to keep myself emotionally "in check" this year in the game threads. Other than Opening Day, I don't think I've really been that bad. The whole "ballgame" comment I made yesterday was a statement of opinion that rubbed people the wrong way and started this whole mess. Note that I've made the "ballgame" comment in game threads this year before when the Cubs were winning and I felt they were going to hold the lead and win. It probably rubbed people the wrong time because it's a statement made by you and others nearly every single time they go behind in a game. Do you not understand that?
