    Now they are saying Jackson isn't in the deal Shumpert and Smith to Cavs, Waiters to OKC, not sure what Knicks are getting at this point. I think it's a salary dump for NYK though

    Good stuff. Damn, Torres potentially in the top 100

    I can't find anything funnier than Lovie hiring the coach that succeeded him and failed miserably to a subordinate role. TBH, I hope he does go to Tampa and does well.

    All signs point to Ballard, too much smoke.

    Would suck to see Sosa chopped off the ballot but he isn't getting in through the voters anyways. His only shot is the veterans committee and attitudes toward the steroid era doing a 180. I know Sosa was an [expletive] who cheated repeatedly to get his numbers and is now a weird vampire, but dammit he gave me too many happy childhood memories so I hope he gets in one day.

    Brandon Marshall's extension hasn't even kicked in yet has it? Ugh. If they are just going to dump him, we'd better hear about some really damning locker room antics from him that hurt the team. Otherwise, there's no reason to get rid of him.

    Can we speculate that this means the Bears are zeroed in on him?
  8. UMFan83
    I said hire him if he's the best guy. It's just going to be a hard sell to fans. I realize that doesn't mean anything at all and the Bears shouldn't make decisions based on what the fans want, it was just an observation.

    Angelo didn't work out, Emery was a disaster...I know lets hire a guy that has spend almost his entire career working for those two. No. The Bears were good when Ballard was here. It's just an odd narrative to sell to the fan base. If you believe he's the best guy, fine hire him.

    definitely...and Nashville only got 1 point tonight so we pull back into a tie for 1st with them (Nash has 1 game in hand) I know, I know its dumb to care about the standings in January, or like ever if you're a Hawks fan, but it helps me get through the dog days of the season before the playoffs.

    I hear ya. I used to watch sportscenter on repeat from like 9am-12pm during summers in the 90s when I was out of school even though it was the exact same show played 3 times. At first it was "The Big Show" with Patrick and Olberman, but then new guys like Stuart Scott, Rich Eisen and Scott Van Pelt came to the forefront and became part of my daily viewing through high school, college, post college, etc. I know a lot of people hated him and his style but for someone my age, I loved it, he seemed much younger and more in touch with my generation than Patrick and Olberman. I rarely go out of my way to watch sportscenter these days, but occasionally it will come on after watching a game on ESPN, and those familiar voices are always there, Berman, Scott, Levy, etc. Now one of those voices that I've been hearing for 20 years is gone. I think that's part of the reason why Scott's death hit harder for some like me than other celebrity deaths. Robin Williams you see in a movie a couple times a year, but Scott, even in the later years was one of the people you always saw and heard on SportsCenter.

    AJ Green and Gresham out today. Not going to help the Bengals get their first playoff win in 25 years.
  14. UMFan83
    It's kind of creepy how much prepackaged material they had prepared for this. Seeing people in tears talking about him that was obviously recorded when he was still alive.
  15. UMFan83
    Very sad. His style was quite polarizing, at least 10 years ago, but from all accounts he was a really really good dude.

    Under .500 teams are 2-0 all time in the Wild Card Round

    Ryan Lindley is so bad at quarterbacking It's like if 2010 era Todd Collins played an entire playoff game Feel bad for Arizona, they had a pretty good team before Palmer and then Stanton went down. The defense kind of slumped later in the year but they might have something to do with being on the field a lot more with the offense not sustaining drives.

    We should hang a 2013 BP Cup champions banner at Wrigley

    DePaul continues to confuse. They start out 6-1 with a win over Stanford but a horrible loss to a team I already forgot. Then they lose 6 in a row including blowout losses to Ohio and Loyola Marymount. Now they have won 3 in a row including their first 2 big east games to Marquette and a pretty decent Xavier team.
  21. UMFan83
    Take your time. I want a good look at Teuvo.
  22. UMFan83
    Sweeney maybe, but I'd think Coghlan/Denorfia is our platoon in LF. For three weeks. Out of curiosity but is there any legit info that suggests the Cubs are actually considering playing Bryant in LF next year or is it all speculation from fans because it makes too much sense? I might have missed/forgot something.

    There's always someone to make me look better. I don't care though I got IMB! on my side

    This isn't going to be a thing for you, is it? If Rose plays 50 games this year and is healthy for the playoffs, I'd feel better about the playoffs than if Rose goes 35 minutes a game for 80 games this year. This still applies, two months later. And it's still a thing for you, two months later. And enough with the "I can't change how I feel" garbage, when you act like a meatball goon, you get called out for being a meatball goon. Blah blah blah. Nothing in that original comment you are randomly still referencing has any attack at all on Rose. It was a post mentioning that he was out for whatever game that was. Maybe it's meatbally, I honestly don't even care. He's said and done enough dumb things for me to be more critical of his actions. Wherein you sarcastically called him "Roseypoo".......... Oh god that's the criticism? A friend and I have jokingly been calling him that for years. I let that bleed into NSBB to be pounced on by you ravenous monsters (I mean that in the most endearing way - love you guys!). Sorry for the confusion.

If you honestly still can't see what's wrong with that original comment, you are too far gone to even try to salvage. Considering I know what I was posting when I posted it, you are somehow reading things with the wrong. (I get it I'm not likable at all when I act like a meatball, I'll try to tone it down or leave it to RealGM. Point made)
