    He's got all the check-off boxes. He is the son of a legendary HS football coach. He has a great arm, size, and mobility. He was at Auburn under terrible conditions with an awful coach. I think he has a lot of the ingredients to make a great NFL QB.

    It's interesting and weird how things are trending in the first few years of NIL. Some of the "haves" are spending a lot of money and not getting a great ROI and others that used to be in the mix aren't spending and also are not able to compete at the highest level. I was a little worried that there would coalesce at the top about 3 or 4 teams and then everyone else based on NIL, that doesn't seem to be the case. But college football is overall really mediocre right now.

    you have nothing but bad takes.

    I believe his destiny lies in the late innings. But I want to give him every opportunity to see if he can be a starter.
  5. CubinNY
    Yes

    Tom you have some interesting takes

    I didn't say he was depressed. I said he looked depressed. Being one of the best-rushing QBs in NFL history is not a mark in his favor. He's been awful and continues to be awful and he's not looking like he's going to get any better. If he does, great. I don't understand how sitting on the bench watching a backup have games that a backup will have has changed anyone's opinion on him. We can assign blame any way we want for his failure. I think it falls mainly on the coaches and Bears front office. He's the same as he was the day they drafted him. That's not necessarily his fault. It doesn't change anything about the situation either.

    I like him better from the stretch than his hurry-up wind-up. He's more in control of his body.

    I've been to Vegas once for a conference. it's one of the most depressing places I've ever visited. At least for me. As soon as I stepped off the plane and passed my gate at the airport I immediately saw a bunch of geriatrics sitting at slot machines inside the airport mindlessly pulling the lever. It reminded me of a rat lab at college. Then on the taxi ride seeing the fakeness of everything on whatever street the strip is on and adjacent to made my stomach turn. I know some people love to gamble and go to shows and whatnot, but that place gives me the creeps. I'm not a gambler and the fakeness of everything is off-putting.

    I don't believe it either and Fields is not a better player. He's an abject failure to this point and appears to get a little worse every game he starts. He's been standing on the sidelines looking depressed for three weeks. He needs to go out and start and show that he has the talent to be a QB. If he fails, his value is going to be pretty low.

    It's not nothing, but how much of something it is we shall see. I mean I remember when Carlos Beltran was there for the taking and the Cubs sat on the sidelines. I'm really happy they are at least saying the right things.

    For some reason it's so much faster in person than on TV. I

    They proved that with the manager search. I'd really love to know if Counsel didn't reach out to them and let them know he was interested in staying in the area. We will never know.

    I like Jack Flaherty on an incentive-laden contract. Overall, he's a decent human and I hope he finds success.
  15. CubinNY
    I don't know. There is a myth that Boras clients don't sign without. If the Cubs handed him a contract that was too good to refuse Who knows?
  16. CubinNY
    there is no pivot.
  17. CubinNY
    The Cubs need to hire Schwarber's nutritionist for him.
  18. CubinNY
    If the Cubs land Ohtani Tom may actually burst into flames.
  19. CubinNY
    you're being intentionally obtuse. Going over the tax threshold at a higher level for one year is not the same as doing it for many years. It's why they might spend more with short term deals
  20. CubinNY
    Ohtani = 50M for X years Soto +Hoskins + mystery picture = 50M for one year, $X for X years for mystery pitcher 2024 = 50M, 2025 and beyond = less than that, all things being equal ------------------- However, I'd be kind of pissed if Jed spent the capital to get Soto (because it is going to hurt regardless of one year or not) and didn't have a plan to resign him. That would not be ideal to say the least.

    Holy smacks, I'm not really an NBA fan but my son is a huge fan of Golden State. For his birthday/Christmas, I decided to get tickets for when they come to Atlanta. The prices for good seats are ridiculous. How does anyone afford to go to a game? Is there a secret code or something to get a fair price? Every ticket in the lower bowel was several hundred dollars.

    A lot going down on the ownership front today. As an aside, the company I work for is owned by the Carlyle Group. They have their hands in everything. And is example #3,000 of how profitable baseball is.

    Kyle does love him some snuff porn.
  24. CubinNY
    holy horsefeathers. Just reading about him. I had no idea he was part of the O'Malley family
  25. CubinNY
    Yes, he's got stuff to work on for sure. And the challenges will be different. If he rakes AND they need someone to play 3B AND he has the arm to play there he should be considered and not held back by some magical number of ABs he must have at each level. The Cubs haven't seen a batter this polished in a while. Probably not since Mark Grace. Also, I kind of believe the criticism is one based not on observation, but on expectation. He hasn't had to be patient because he's destroyed everything in his zone. Why take a walk when you can hit a double? But whatever, I agree. In theory, he will need to learn discipline. We don't know that he doesn't already. He walked more than he K'd his final year of college.
