    That was a fun game. Gave up a HR to the leadoff hitter and then buckled down and just dominated for the next 27 outs.

    Damn, I kind of wish they hacked us now.

    Interpret however you want, most dangerous, the person with the worst intentions, most dangerous relative to the amount of power they have etc. I cannot wrap my head around who we should be scared most about, sometimes its the man himself, sometimes its Bannon, previously Pence would worry me more, etc. Edit: I probably should have included Putin in there

    Yessss this is why this series is great. I completely forgot about this awesome moment.

    Same, would definitely take in 2nd...maybe even consider trading into the mid-20's for him. Definitely do not want any of the QBs at 3.

    I respect your stubborn desire to keep building a high floor low ceiling playoff team but the 2010 team had 4 players under contract when they added on: Rose, Noah, Deng, Taj, 3 of them future all-stars, all of them in their early to mid-20's. Ideally they would have added a star with the cap space that they had (enough for about 1.75 max contracts), but they were a team you could build a quasi contender around acquiring some good role players. This team is Jimmy Butler, a 35 year old version of Dwyane Wade, and a bunch of garbage (assuming Taj doesn't resign). McDermott is ok, Lopez is ok, you *might* get one good player out of Grant/Valentine/Portis, might. This isn't a team that needs a few pieces to be a contender. Maybe to be respectable 2nd round out in a weak conference, which I think you are on record saying you are ok with. But my point is, the 2010 offseason Bulls and the 2017 offseason Bulls are in completely different places.

    Yeah and honestly the way they played down the stretch in 2015, I thought there was absolutely no chance that they would even make it to the SC Final, much less win it. They do have another gear and there is likely going to be some additions coming.

    Saying nothing about the vile person that he is, that was a decent social media exchange by someone I wouldn't have expected it from.

    Hawks broke a streak of 83 straight regular season games where they got at least a point when leading after 2 periods (78-0-5). The steak started in the 2013-2014 season. Overall, I just don't see the Hawks being a true contender. Their possession numbers are frequently average or below average. They have been excellent at clamping down with the lead and winning an unrealistically high number of 1 goal games, but struggle to consistently put shots on net with any line other than the Kane/Panarin line. I guess its fine if they aren't an elite contender every season but you are starting to get to that point where Kane and Toews are at the midpoints of their careers, Seabs/Keith are on the back half. If this is still the core, you would hope to see at least 1-2 more dominant teams. I'm definitely feeling the 1st world problems of having a winning team as the team has been good but I just haven't been as excited or invested as I have in previous seasons. I know I will come around in the playoffs like fans of the Wings used to do during their run.

    Keep on winning SMU and Marquette (yes I'm still holding out hope Michigan can get their horsefeathers together)
  12. UMFan83
    I really wish we could be guaranteed even 100 innings out of him, I'd be a lot more excited.

    [tweet] [/tweet] Hmm
  15. UMFan83
    Wonder what will be on this video board, particularly during games. I am assuming they won't show the actual game, although potentially for road playoff games, making the plaza a gathering spot.
  16. UMFan83
    Really that beats out Bill Murray's Daffy Duck stretch in the first Cubs World Series home game in 71 years?

    hope there was no one with him in the car. I'm sad that he's gone but drunk driving in the DR is an insanely stupid and dangerous thing to do. I think him and Tavares were good friends. How do you see a good friend die in DD accident and then go out and do it yourself?
  19. UMFan83
    Seriously. Remember when Strop got in a serious accident in the DR. Fortunately he survived while Ventura was not so fortunate :(
  20. UMFan83
    Seems confirmed. What the hell is happening with all these fatal accidents? Very shocking and sad. RIP
  21. UMFan83
    Sad to hear. Remember when he was a top prospect
  22. UMFan83
    Isn't Gordon looking at another suspension since he couldn't get back from his last one without having to check into rehab again? I'm all about bringing back Jeffrey. Hoping for White to be healthy and to contribute is too big of a gamble to let Jeffrey go. Yeah he must have meant Justin Blackmon
