  1. i'm afraid this isn't an argument you're going to win, OMC
  2. Maybe ya been too busy chasing Matsui ya dope! that's also mentioned in the article along with this nightmarish idea: Theriot in CF
  3. But then Jeter shouldn't have been the AL MVP when people thought he should've won it instead of Morneau. except people thought Hafner should have won over both those
  4. Per Paul Sullivan, so take it FWIW: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/cs-071120cubsbits,1,1272697.story?ctrack=1&cset=true
  5. I get the example you are trying to make, but Cobb was a loose cannon with a horrible and violent disposition on occassion, just a plain old hick douche....Tyson is an uncontrollable lunatic. Another difference is their status in a purely sports context. Tyson isn't even in the top 50 in a list of top boxers ever, whilst Cobb is generally always regarded in the top 5. Tyson isn't in the list of top 50 boxers ever? Seriously? BTW, my comparison with George Wallace was only in the context of the end of their careers (suddenly opening up to non whites). Wallace is probably a worse person overall, as he "became" a racist in order to win votes.
  6. do you think it's fair that the first thing people think about when you mention Mike Tyson is his out-of-the-ring craziness?
  7. Then don't participate. Calling a thread dumb doesn't add anything of value. kind of like creating a poll to further instigate more friction between two posters who have had threads locked and warnings issued from mods doesn't really add anything of value? The poll was not created to further instigate anything, it was a joke and everyone besides you has had fun with it. We get that you don't care for the poll, no need to keep mentioning it. Just ignore the thread. And a pretty stupid one at that. nope, don't say that dude. you're not allowed to have a contrary opinion in this thread
  8. you do this in a lot of threads
  9. and neither should anyone else
  10. There's no way that happens. Cabrera plays the most important position very effectively. They will try to trade Crede because of the uncertainty of his back and they have Fields to play 3B. Uribe will either move to 2B or be traded. you may be right. Rotoworld was speculating Uribe going to the Rays

  12. why were you hiding in her air conditioning duct?
  13. the IU/UofI stuff on this board is 100x more annoying than the recent Mizzou/Kansas stuff
  14. thus, my George Wallace comparison
  15. my guess is that the Sox will play O-Cab at 3rd and try to trade Crede
  16. Ahem. Daniel. No respect I tell ya. ;) yeah, i knew i'd get that wrong. either way, tough to respect a dude named Chase ;)
  17. Dixon, Daniels and Tebow are finalists for Davey O'Brien Award
  18. Think about it. Torii Hunter is going to get 6 years and $90M (if the rumor is true). It makes Jacque Jones' 3 year deal for $16M a few years back look almost reasonable. considering that career-wise, they're nearly exactly the same player (only JJ didn't rob a Bonds homer in an All Star Game, so....)
  19. eh, it's just not the same anymore
  20. this is a dumb poll
  21. local paper is unhappy with JoePa
  22. Didn't you say last week you fully expected Florida to destroy the Illini? no, i said i would fully expect Florida to destroy Penn State, but that matchup isn't happening unless Florida loses again
  23. DePaul squeaks out a one-point win over Northwestern in the "Battle of Derwood's Alma Maters"
  24. i can't wait until Illinois beats Florida but Meph's computer tells us it doesn't matter because Illinois played Northwestern instead of Vanderbilt
