I've drafted Cicotte as much as anyone in these drafts. I think he's very undervalued opposed to other guys drafted in that era for us.

He's definately underrated but I don't think it's because of the 1919 World Series scandal, that doesn't hurt Shoeless Joe...

Not necessarily saying here, but most mentions of Cicotte outside these drafts that I find are mostly just Black Sox stuff. His name can't seem to be separated from it.

True. Shoeless isn't hurt nearly as badly by it. I first learned of Shoeless Joe when I was a 1st grader (30 some years ago) and didn't find out he was involved in the Black Sox scandal until I was in my teens. Maybe it was because Shoeless was such a popular player that his legend can survive with the scandal where Cicotte can't - even though Cicotte was one of the best pitchers of his time.
 
Case in point.

google references to Black Sox Sandal in headlines on first page when searching:

Shoeless Joe - 0
Eddie Cicotte - 4

Prime GSP vs Kamaru Usman

Who you got? I'm arguing with a friend. Granted I wasn't a big fan of the sport at the time GSP was on top but I still think he beats Usman. Just feel like he has more tools in his arsenal.
 
GSP would beat him IMO. GSP won against great strikers, great wrestlers and great submission guys. I think his strength and wrestling would match Usman's and he would take a decision. Urban us a great fighter though

Going house hunting today. Have a showing at a home. Asking price is only $650 per square foot. Better news though is that it's likely to probably go around $760 a square foot. So fuck you bay area housing market.

A little.

The new bank pays more, but only a fraction of the foot traffic of my last bank. Maybe I get busier once fully trained and I can do more in mortgages and not have to rely on in branch traffic to give myself something to do.

I always feel bad when you post this, it seems like a punishment.
