    I think Fields being decent and the Bears losing are mutually exclusive choice points.

    Whoever Anthony is has the Giants committing almost a billion dollars to FA this year.

    You're certainly entitled to an opinion. They didn't hire Counsell as a message to other teams.
  4. CubinNY
    please no.

    I'm not a Ross fan, but I think that is a little to harsh of an assessment of Ross. Ross did the dugout culture thing pretty well. His teams played hard even when they didn't have to play hard. However, I think due to his experiences as a player, his in-game decisions weren't always good and sometimes awful. He let starters pitch to failure. He overused a few guys in the pen. He probably contributed to some arm injuries. He also had little patience with rookies. All and all, I'd put him squarely in the middle range of managers. Not terrible, but not a guy you want when you are trying to win a championship.

    I stand by this statement.

    I’ve been pretty hard on the Ricketts. Harder than most. I must say I don’t like them, their politics, or really anything about them. They are not good people. But, I like that they let Jed go after Counsel. And gave him the opportunity to sign him to that record setting contract. My hat is off.

    Ross is such a red ass. I bet he is salty as horsefeathers at Hoyer.

    I can't imagine a situation where just a few weeks ago Hoyer and Tommy Boy were praising Ross. They knew Counsel was on an expiring contract. I wonder what changed from the end of the offseason to a few days ago. It's crazy. I'd love to get the inside information on what happened. Because this is the biggest surprise since Theo was spotted at Starbucks.

    Maybe Ross is getting moved up too. He's under contract for 2024 with an option for 2025.
  12. CubinNY
    We will never know, but I think he gets the 2023 comfortably to the playoffs.
  13. CubinNY
    If I were a Brewer fan, I'd be inconsolable.

    TT says, Aaron Nola

    No horsefeathers way!!!!!! Best move of the offseason. Also, you could knock me over with a feather right now. I never would have thought that would happen.

    He's beat. I remember a story from Moneyball when Billy Beane knew he wasn't going to make it. It reminds me of the look Fields has on his face on the sideline and the tentative way he is playing now. He's paralyzed by fear of doing the wrong thing. Fields may have more natural talent than all the other QBs he will be playing, but it won't matter.

    The Cardinals picking another #1 from USC is giving me flashbacks. Leinart was a guy I was sure was going to be a great NFL QB. .
  18. CubinNY
    The best thing for Merivs is a trade to a team that will let him play. Including him in a deal for Alonso makes a lot of sense for Mervis, the Cubs, and the Mets. Ross will not use him correctly. I'm not confident Ross has the ability to break any rookie in.
  19. CubinNY
    Hard pass on Hoskins. They aren't striking lighting in the bottle again.
  20. CubinNY
    that is way fucked up.
  21. CubinNY
    The point of playing is to try to win. If they are winning it solves a lot of problems that come from losing. It's pretty simple. The frustrating part is that knowledgeable fans can see the train coming and the people running the Bears would rather pretend they already moved the track or at least moving it now. They are a bad team with a bad QB who is not going to suddenly be good through force of will. Fields is awful. The main problem is that there are so many very bad teams in the NFL right now. I have faith in the Bears to finish with one of the top five worst records though.

    Ricketts hand is moving Jed’s mouth. They are the same
  23. CubinNY
    Big WMU vs CMU game! THE rivalry continues!
  24. CubinNY
    Votto may not retire but he has made many statements that when he does he’s going to disappear. I don’t know if he’s just saying stuff, but I think the last quote I read was something like “I’m ready to delete all my social media and go away”. I doubt he’s interested in coaching, not sure about the booth though.
