  1. I'm not sure if you somehow meant to write "forte" or what. Nope. I meant that anyone could run through those holes, including the most useless player on the field.
  2. I don't think anyone could possibly blame Cutler for this one, but I just think a healthy McCown gives the team a better chance to win next week than Cutler does in whatever less-than-100% state he is currently in. It is a moot point anyway, because we all know Cutler is going to start.
  3. Podlesh is just on the wrong side of the field tonight. If he were an Eagles running back, he would have 100 yards and 2 touchdowns.
  4. Well, that's just wrong. Is it? I'm not saying he is the better quarterback, but he is the better quarterback right now. Also wrong. I disagree. Cutler is still not right. How many times has he got up slowly tonight on seemingly pedestrian hits? He still doesn't look 100% healthy to me.
  5. Well, that's just wrong. Is it? I'm not saying he is the better quarterback, but he is the better quarterback right now.
  6. I have very little doubt that McCown gives the Bears the best chance to win next week.
  7. That's on Trestman. Same with Podlesh. He's gotta do something about it. You mean it doesn't count to bring in another punter to kick a few balls in practice, then send him home?
  8. He just got old, that's all. As I recall the Bears chose to keep him around this year when they didn't have to. Who knows if Urlacher had anything at all left, but maybe they kept the wrong old guy.
  9. Well this is one way to stall a drive.
  10. Good no call there. Alshon was holding him off with his left arm.
  11. "Finds the soft spot" It may be more of a challenge to find a spot that isn't soft.
  12. Well, they could punt if their punter wasn't Podlesh.
  13. If you say so. Are people still questioning this? It seems pretty implicit that it is true. It is entirely possible that the Cubs are unable to spend money because of the structure of the Tribune sale and not because ownership doesn't have it. It doesn't matter how much money the owners have if they are only allowed to spend the direct revenue from baseball operations. If I remember correctly, those restrictions will be lifted in a few years.
  14. I have to think there will be some serious restrictions on how the fielder can position themselves in front of the base/plate. Or maybe they just want to encourage guys to go over the top Willie Mays Hayes style.
  15. I'm not sure how I feel about the home plate collision ban. I definitely support the idea behind the change, but will withhold judgment until I read exactly how the rule is going to be implemented.
  16. Eh, it's a fair question. Cutler is obviously the better quarterback long term, but can a less than 100% Cutler step in and give the team a better chance to win right now? I don't know what the answer is.
  17. This is Podlesh's best game in years.
  18. You mean the one where the defensive player jumped and launched his helmet at Marshall's helmet?
  19. That is too bad. I really wanted to see him make it back to the big leagues, even if only for one game.
  20. Apparently the Cowboys defensive backs were guarding the back of the end zone and giving Bennett the front half. This has been a defensive clinic so far.
  21. I had a successful relocation day as well. I wanted to stay in the same price level (Terrace Box Outfield), but move as close to the infield as possible. I picked out new seats that were in Row 3 and almost as close to the infield as you can get, with the only downside being they were 12 seats deep and up against a concourse tunnel, meaning there was only one way out. When I got up to the table to buy the tickets, I found out that they had been tagged inappropriately and weren't available. I was then referred to a manager who was eventually able to find me seats in the same section, Row 2, and on the aisle. That was pretty much the best possible outcome and I expect these to be the seats I will keep long term. I don't think I can do any better without jumping up to the next price level, so I'm extremely satisfied with my row 2 borderline infield seats.
