London has 2012 already.

I'm sure I've read it before, but who makes up the IOC bureaucracy?

After years of enjoying the fact that Directv offers up pretty much any channel I could want, especially sports, it's weird to not have Versus available anymore because of the prices Comcast is demanding for that rather pathetic channel. But I luck out today since the game is on versus at noon here and I can watch it at the office.

Of course that's not what I said, but you've never had a levelheaded logical discussion about anything that involves politics. So I shouldn't expect you to start now. lol tell me how you really feel. I feel that you are completley ridiculous for trying to pretend this wasn' t a bad thing for Obama and for pretending I was insinuating the end is near becuase of it.

It probably was. The reports are the first round people vote for their neighbors to be more friendly even if they plan on eventually voting for somebody else. It's a really stupid process. Had it been a straight up vote, and no rounds, Chicago probably wins.

Why? If you're the US president you don't go lobby for the olympics unless you know you're getting them. It shows he has much less influence worldwide than people were saying. It shows they miscalculated his worth, and it's an embarrasment to the US to have their president lobby for something like this, and lose. After making far too many primetime appearances and major speaches, Obama probably needs to learn to stop putting himself in the spotlight becuase he's burning through political capital way too quickly.

That's a major miscalculation by the White House.

In all honesty, I can't possibly think how Rio would be able to pull off a decent Olympics. I was there last year, and really enjoyed it, but it's a dump. As a fomer Chicagoan I'm sure I'm biased, but I really don't think Rio can stand up to Chicago on the merits. Votes are happening now. Chicago is now out of the running.

I think the Hawks wants to cover themselves because of the jet lag that will happen when the Hawks return to the states. I suspect a week after return either backup will be gone. I read that they are allowed an extra man for the games in Finland, so I assume one will be gone before the Red Wings game. Jet lag shouldn't really come into play. They'll be back on Sunday and don't play until Thursday night, and they'll be flying first class.

That doesn't make much sense. The sale is all but over. That was an excuse the last two years, but no longer. Jim Hendry has been in this organization for well over a decade, a very influential personel man for nearly a decade and in complete control for 7+ seasons. He's been a disappointment. The fear of a worse GM is pointless. Most GMs don't get the financial benefit that Hendry has had. As long as they don't go out and sign Jim Bowden or some retread bum, they should be able to improve. This is a disappointing organization that hasn't won nearly as many games as they should have given their competitive advantages.
-
Why is it reaching? Hendry is the paid professional. He's supposed to be able to see the upside these guys have. He's the one constantly looking for bullpen help. Why shouldn't he be criticized for letting quality arms go for crap when he's constantly bringing in others?

Week 4 - Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions, 12 PM FOX

That was Peter King though, and he's consistently much higher on the Bears. Don Banks has been pretty consistently down on the Bears. Peter King is kind of schizo with the Bears. He fluctuates betweer too much hate and too much love. -
I assume the 3 goalie thing is going to be short-term, but what's the point?

Piniella says he's not disengaged in the team
jersey cubs fan replied to DiamondMind's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I don't buy the mailing it in theory, but I'm not a fan of going into next season with Lou as lame duck manager. It would be more cost effective for Ricketts to eat Hendry and Lou's deals and keep Bradley than the other way around. -

There had to be a couple games that ended late, like well after 10. Then its a half hour of press stuff and a good 20-30 minute shower/changing followed up by some beers. I could see them being there until 1am on occasion. Of course they aren't going to figure out how to fix things with a coaching strategy session but they have to justify their salaries somehow. -
I'm an idiot

And they were playing meaningless baseball long before that day.

Why October 1?

Week 4 - Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions, 12 PM FOX
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
I am. Why take away any snaps from this young WR corps when all we've seen of them is good performance and progress on a week to week basis? I don't want an old and bad WR who used to be good on the roster. And I don't want to hear anything about veteran leadership and taking the young guys under his wing, because that couldn't be any further from the type of guy Marvin is. I would have to agree with you on this one. -
What could have been. What could HAVE been. yea yea, you got me there. :P Everything didn't literally go wrong this year. Aram missing 50 or so games along Bradley' terrible start, turn both of those around and I believe the Cubs are at least the wild card entry if not the Central winner. I didn't say things didn't go wrong, I said everything didn't go wrong. It's really pointless to note that stuff. Bradley played more games than most people assumed and wasn't far off his career rates. And Aramis gets injured every year. If you are the Cubs you have to build teams to deal with Aramis missing games.
-
Yeah, but we won't gain a draft pick when the Cards or Brewers sign Rich Harden to reasonable 2yr deal. Why is that? The Cubs are too afraid to offer arbitration.

I've seen the line move from 11 to 10.5 to 10 already. Not many people willing to give that many points. I think the Bears cover here. First really solid win of the year. -

Am I alone in the thought that a team takes on the identity of its' coach? Are you discounting that entirely? I'm sure you're not alone but I'd just like to say I think that's a completely meaningless statement. Are the White Sox a bunch of ranting lunatics? I don't think so. Guillen has been there a long time and I don't see how they've taken on his identity.
