Posted Sunday November 22, 2009, About: Clausen, Tate mum on Notre Dame future
you've watched his mechanics and they aren't top notch.... that's interesting because Jimmy is known for his mechanics and his dead-on accuracy. Enjoy watching the NFL draft this year when all you hear is McShay and Kiper talk about how accurate and mechanically sound this kid is. Hate Clausen all you want, he's got talent. I guarantee you every reader, hate or love ND, will laugh at you when they read that comment "I've watched his mechanics"...yeah because you know best.
Posted Tuesday November 17, 2009, About: Three-team trade may include Gonzalez
I know how the white sox and other baseball scout websites feel about my team's minor leaguers, I'm sorry you don't, and I trust their opinion over yours. But you're right, I don't know what's going to happen. Nice blanket argument that can be applied to every facet of life. I can guess how Jake Peavy is going to pitch because he's proven on the major league level, and seeing as how I've seen Clayton Richard pitch enough MLB games to know his +4 ERA with the Padres (wow, Petco is such a hitter's park) won't be good enough to get him a Cy Young Award, I feel comfortable with my original statement.

as a devoted white sox fan, they definitely did not rake the minor league system in the Peavy trade. You just assume that because you saw he was traded for a handful of prospects; you actually have no idea what you're talking about. The padres can have those prospects, Poreda is the only one I'd rather keep, but for Jake Peavy, it's no question.

Posted Monday November 09, 2009, About: Weis putting blame on Irish players?
im not sure why people are ragging on Clausen. I know he had his extremely arrogant, over-the-top commitment press conference at the college football hall of fame etc. It is understood in the Irish realm, at least, that this was orchestrated by Weis. Now, Clausen definitely was an arrogant ass when he was a freshman, and boy did he look like an idiot. But starting last year and definitely this year, he has shown his commitment to the team, coming back into the game after some injuries, he's said all the right things, he plays hard and he has proven that he doesn't quit.

So bash Weis all you want, he deserves every word of it, but I'm confused as to why people hate Jimmy. He appears to be vastly different from the cocky quarterback he used to be. It's not Jimmy's fault ND lost to Navy. He threw for 450 yards. It's not his fault Michael Floyd dropped an easy 50 yard pass on their drive with 2 minutes left. Maybe it's his fault for hitting Floyd in the back, but maybe it's Floyd's fault, only they know. But saying Clausen is a bad quarterback because he can't beat Navy is insane. One player doesn't win or lose games by himself. I'd gladly let Jimmy be my quarterback, the guy has proven his ability this year.

Hey bears haters, remember how it's not even week 2 yet? We shot our mouths off about our QB being great before he even had a snap? Yeah, that may be bad, but so is declaring him a terrible QB after one game, so you're just as stupid i guess.
Posted Monday August 10, 2009, About: Report: Why Kane helped beat cabbie
the world's ready to let michael vick play football again i think people will eventually forgive kane for this one.

as an aside, in america you're better off killing a human (see: Donte Stallworth's 23 days in jail) than killing dogs.
Posted Monday August 10, 2009, About: Report: Why Kane helped beat cabbie
dude, i was being sarcastic, you seriously need to relax.
Posted Monday August 10, 2009, About: Report: Why Kane helped beat cabbie
to be fair, the police report says nowhere that they broke his nose. if you read it, it talks about swelling, bruising, cuts, broken glasses, everything but a broken nose. if patrick had broken his nose, i think he'd be a jerk. but he didn't, so i'm going to say patrick was being generous. or he couldn't hit that hard.

it'll tick off good old jdogg over there to read this, but i think you're absolutely right.
Posted Monday August 10, 2009, About: Report: Why Kane helped beat cabbie
so then maybe speculation is best left aside for both people like you who say there is no more to the story, and people like me who think the possibility exists that there is more to the story. Either way, he looks bad, and will continue to look bad, and is going to be incessantly verbally attacked on the ice for this one.
Posted Monday August 10, 2009, About: Report: Why Kane helped beat cabbie
it's very possible he didn't know who he was, but patrick kane is a huge star in buffalo, and was just seen on tv two days earlier with the mayor in a ceremony to open a special ice rink in the city, which Kane funded or something like that. Point is, let's say the cabbie recognized it was Kane, he's not looking for 20 cents, that's a stupid suggestion, he's looking for the 6 figures, minimum, he's going to get in a civil trial if he accuses kane of hitting him. which kane may very well have done I don't know, but the cabbie isn't looking to take 20 cents from kane, he's looking for a few more dollars.
Posted Monday August 10, 2009, About: Report: Why Kane helped beat cabbie
j dogg, we get that you have it out for this 20 year old, and he may very well be guilty. but if it were up to you, then i bet kobe, the duke lax players, and ben roethlisberger would all be in jail right now. because as we know, the plaintiff's story is always completely true, without a single detail left out. the fact of the matter is you simply do not know what happened, i do not know, and no one else knows except kane and his cousin (if they were sober enough to remember) and the cabbie himself. go ahead and make your jokes about kobe deserving to be in jail, yada yada yada, but you know i'm right. stop talking like you know exactly what happened in that cab.

The jays are not on the hook for the contract if they let Rios walk to the White Sox. The Sox are on the hook for the contract.
Posted Tuesday May 05, 2009, About: Bulls lining up for D-Wade?
in a league based on preferential treatment, it is a known fact that the best players, who are playing the best in that individual game, get a significantly greater portion of the calls. shooting 2-12 from the field and shooting that many free throws often...often, not always... indicates that the refs are bailing you out. it's not a knock on rondo, it's a knock on the inconsistency of nba officiating.

and thanks for the description of a foul, i know all about it after rondo went street fight on the bulls.
Posted Tuesday May 05, 2009, About: Bulls lining up for D-Wade?
you must be forgetting the second half, when they shot 26 free throws, including 12 for rondo. i dont care who you are, if you shoot 2-12 from the field you don't really deserve that many calls, even if you are kobe or lebron.
Posted Tuesday May 05, 2009, About: Bulls lining up for D-Wade?
wade is a 2 guard, rose is the point. they do not play the same position.

Posted Wednesday February 25, 2009, About: Why Crede left White Sox for Twins
the sox wanted to offer him a long term contract in 2007, but he said he would like to explore free agency, still leaving open the possibility that he would sign with the team in 2009. But as 2009 approached, it became obvious that with the development of Josh Fields and the ability to sign Dayan Viciedo, with the chances Crede would get a contract he wanted and be assured of no one looking over his shoulder at 3rd, the Twins were the only place to go.

Sadly for Joey Clutch, the fan favorite just got too injured too often and became too risky to sign. Good luck to him, but not too good of luck. I have a feeling he will come back and screw the Sox over badly in a few games.
Posted Wednesday February 11, 2009, About: Irish coach talks to 'upset' star
oh man dometron just totally nailed you jayhawk fan. that's hilarious. ND is playing absolutely terribly, but I don't think you can knock the guy who leads the Big East in scoring and led them in rebounds until Blair took over by .1 rebound/game just this week. Big East has the most brutal schedules for its teams, and ND clearly can't match up for whatever reason, despite the fact that nothing really changed for them from last year, but saying Harangody can't bang with the best of them is stupid, most of the good ones are in the Big East. He dominated Thabeet one on one, played well against Blair, the list goes on.
Posted Monday January 26, 2009, About: Should White Sox sign Pudge?
i know you are trying to come in peace and present a constructive argument but i hate it when cubs fans talk about aj. they just have no idea. they think he's a clubhouse cancer when there is simply no proof that he's ever had a major rift with his team, much less ozzie. he's been nothing but great for us and he brought us a ring. if he has an attitude it's one of winning. maybe the cubs can take a page from that book.
