    Bears. Justin Fileds didn't look straight down to the ground when dropping back before he came to Chicago. Coaching matters. These guys are not finished products when they get to the pros.

    Because he too wants to stay in California

    I remember a few years ago when Lions fans were begging the Ford family to sell the team. All it takes is the right people in place. But as many others have mentioned, how will they get the right people to get the right people because the people they have now are not right.

    They lie a lot. I mean, really a lot, like all the time. They had the third highest revenue and the 10th highest payroll for an approximate 54% profit margin. I imagine the margins are less for the Ricketts as they have a group of minority owners who own about 5% of the team. That does not include all their side projects and whatever else they own that we don't know about.

    The Bears look awful, but they likely look worse than the talent on the team due to coaching. Late in games, they appear to have no sense of urgency or at least don't have a system to get Williams a play quickly, get lined up, and go. You can see Williams is frustrated as I'm sure there are many guys. They are certainly an embarrassment to the fans and the city. One more game against the Packers (lol), and it will all be over. I don't think they can let Poles pick the coach, but you never know.

    No. And the ones who would spend aren’t interested or wouldn’t pass muster. The Ricketts are awful humans. But they aren’t as bad as some owners. They should own the Royals or the Reds or some other franchise. Their philosophy is driven by the idea that the luxury tax level is enough money to spend on a team and sustainable development is the path to winning. They prefer to keep the rest of the money for themselves. I suppose I get it because they are splitting it 5 ways plus they have to give their investors a cut. But they are making money on the park environment that they are not sharing. As middle class people who are fans of team we cannot comprehend their lifestyle, appetites, and values.

    Hate the game, not the player. I think there is almost half a billion dollars paid in luxury tax money that is going to the smaller market clubs. So yes, they can spend too. It’s naked greed and bad management that keeps teams from winning. Cubs most definitely included.

    Kyle isn’t correct. And I’m not sure if he’s Autistic or a garden variety horsefeathers. wanting garbage time numbers and then complaining that people are saying he’s getting garbage time numbers is, I don’t know, dumb? It doesn’t matter whether Williams is getting those numbers or not. then the fact that he separates himself from lesser beings is icing on the horsefeathers cake. Kyle says a lot of stuff that is binary and we don’t often live in a binary world. Then he calls it “vibes”. He has a vibe too.
  9. CubinNY
    Not that I’m doubting it, but it would be so horsefeathers stupid to trade away Cam Smith for one season of Tucker.

    Holy non sequitur, Batman

    The players will do a cap if there is a floor and equitable revenue sharing. It’s the owners who can’t agree on that because they (Reinsdorf and Ricketts must of all) are greedy horsefeathers bags of puss and horsefeathers.

    They make enough money yearly that their grandchildren's grandchlidren will never need to lift a finger. It's all a pack of lies. If it's not it's because they overextended themselves in their side projects and are using the Cubs to pay down the debt. Or they are terrible at business. Or a combination of two and three. But seriously, it's one.

    It rings so hollow we will hear it for a year.
  15. CubinNY
    PE probably means a Ricketts shell company.
  16. CubinNY
    I'd say they are all checked out, I wouldn't even start Calib.
  17. CubinNY
    do we know that the Padres want to trade Cease? And if they do, will he shave that terrible mustache?

    Horton's lowest end projection is MLB pitcher. Unless injuries completely derail his career, he's going to be a major league pitcher for years. I don't know (and doubt) if he's ever really going to be a starting pitcher, but he can strike guys out.
  19. CubinNY
    Two things he will need to change if he's getting beat are the high leg kick and swing plane. he reminds me of Nico with more line drive power in his bat the most.
  20. CubinNY
    I think everyone already has a pretty good idea and it's an inside secret within the industry and it isn't the Cubs.
  21. CubinNY
    It's so NSBB that you have the same name and picture of Dusty the Clown as your avatar. I love it.
  22. CubinNY
    I heard he passed out at 31 flavors and they had to call an ambulance.

    Discount Nostradamus

    NOBODY BETTER START A horsefeathers INJURY LIST THREAD THIS YEAR.
  25. CubinNY
    at this point I don't think banking on Luzardo is sure thing. They could ditch it and go bigger. I'm happy with whatever they do. I like it better when they are trying to win and not compete.
