Yeah, with 263 homicides already this year, Chicago is a destination of choice to live. Play hockey? Sure. Get married and raise a family? ??????

I doubt he would live in one of those areas or be anywhere near them...

FWIW, Salvador re-upped with NJ, 3yrs/$9.5M. Over 35 contract...

Atleast we won't burn down our city if our team chokes in the playoffs

Hey snobby boy, ALL of the SW burbs are a great place to raise kids...you only mention many of the north burbs. Before putting your fo ot in the mouth, know that Naperville has been ranked number one kid friendly community in the NATION. And it is not in the north burbs.

Immediate west suburbs are just fine too. Carlos Zambrano lived within a mile of me at one point for a few years, he and his family didn't seem to have trouble living here. Except, of course, when Carlos' wife found out he had an affair with his stylist at the nearby salon

Tandem cycling is training for keeping teammates in step. You know rythm. It's very important for cyclers to keep in step with each othe during events.

So yes it is acceptable.

Perfect. This is what I wanted to know, if there was some sort of underlying reason for it. Had absolutely nothing to do w/two dudes on the bike. It looked funny, but I've seen far more interesting stuff.

Thank you. I will send a snickers bar your way. Reg, Almond or Peanut Butter?

david dejesus of the cubs just moved next to me after he was signed no joke

No beat down (at least from me). I don't agree with the lessening of the sentence but I see the reasoning for the appeal. You're completely right, bringing in Shana-ban was supposed to help regulate the punishments, all he did was mess everything up more. There is no consistency.

If I'm not mistaken, the original 25 game suspension was issued to cover all possible playoff games, if the 'yotes went to the finals. Since they were bumped early, and the suspension was to linger into next season, it was reevaluated.

Not saying I agree with the decision, I don't...but that had something to do with it.

Twitter is dead now that Suter isn't signing today. Where's some Parise news when ya need it?!

Yeah, last time I saw a bunch of dudes on bikes it was exercise naked day in Seattle. Still gives me nightmares...

Here it is from a NJD beat writer :

Turns out I might not have a blog up today. Anticipated Parise signing but it sounds like we may have to wait until tomorrow.

Not that anyone cares, and it may have been mentioned, but Bryce Salvador got a 3 year deal to stay with the Devils. I guess he got tired of waiting for Suter to set the bar for defenders.

3 yrs./ 9.5 M total

THIS is awesome:

I could lead a tour for Parise/Suter from Downtown through the Burbs. Great food, drink, food, drink, drink...Would sacrifice my 4th-8th.

They have Critical Mass here (and a lot of big cities) the last Friday of every month. These clowns get on bicycles and gum up traffic. Used to see a bunch of dudes riding naked, but as of late, I've noticed some ladies. Not all of them are ones you WANT to see, but I'd rather see holes than poles.

Someone go and track the 'Hawks plane!! (joking...):

Judging by reports, sounds like face-to-face meetings with Suter occurring today...

Go back to your Cub team and brag...

Haha when did i mention the south burbs are not good places to live? I was using the north burbs like highland park as an example.

According to Helene St. James, Detroit increased their offer to Suter up to 13yrs/$90M....Yikes!!!! I have a feeling he really is considering Chicago because if he wasn't, that contract from Detroit is a no-brainer.

Here's some nonsense. You can be naked in San Francisco, so long as you're not in the presence of children. You can urinate in public, but it is illegal to turn left at most major intersections. I can buy weed down the street with a medical card, but there's no off track betting. I like it here, have great friends, but dayam they have their priorities a little off.

Dowtown Chicago is one of the safer places I have ever been. Random violence doesn't occur on a consistent basis. If you go to areas that are known for it, that's where you find trouble. That's a really asinine comment for the Canuck doosh to make, but par for the course I suppose.

Not a place for me without OTB's...

Guess they figure gambling will kill you faster than pissing in public, smoking weed, turning left and going without cloths....Not sure I agree.

Ok.

The fact is , I am 92 Sam Adams Boston Lager into my 100 bottle stash and the Hawks still suck.

However if this Blackhawks team lands Parise I will go f ucking Bonkers , it will be glorious .

Parsie is the American Toews . He is a total bad ass

DET GM Ken Holland met with Ryan Suter today. No decision imminent. Probably won't come before Thursday. #RedWings -- Helene St. James (@HeleneStJames)

Ditto that! @JoshYohe_Trib I've been told that if the Pens do acquire Ryan Suter, look for Paul Martin to be traded to Nashville. -- John Boruk (@JohnBorukCSN)

Although excessive gambling could lead to "pissing in public, smoking weed, and going without clothes".

Seriously. When I moved out here I was looking for a place to wager on the Derby and I couldn't find anything. Finally called my local City Supervisor (alderman) and he informed me that OTB's were illegal and if I wanted to wager, I needed to go to the track.
