  1. I doubt that, but it has been awfully quiet lately. I thought this should be a fairly easy signing to get done... give him a 1 or 2 year deal with a raise of somewhere between $500k-$1M per season and be done with it.
  2. Is that new? My twitter says that's new. The Chicago Tribune article made it sound like someone had stepped in and banned the Cubs from any further Red Sox hires. It makes a whole lot more sense that the Cubs and Sox agreed on that arrangement and that must be considered part of the compensation. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/chi-report-cubs-facing-ban-on-more-red-sox-hires-20111220,0,7066821.story
  3. Wow, I both love and hate social media. In some ways I miss the simplicity of reading an article in paper or watching a story on TV and not having to sift through all the Internet garbage. Everyone thinks they know "something", but they pretty much all know nothing.
  4. Or maybe, just maybe, the Cubs are acting like an organization that finally has a long-term plan.
  5. Only Jim Hendry is ok with that.
  6. The question is how are they going to get landmark status off that McDonald's?
  7. So holding penalties can't be called on Tebow 4th quarter drives, correct?
  8. Ok, Martz. 3 knees and punt.
  9. These Denver receivers are terrible.
  10. I love that ESPN just posted an article stating that the Broncos are closer to committing to Tebow. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7341718/sources-denver-broncos-closer-committing-tim-tebow-2012
  11. I'm glad we have a Julian Peppers on our team.
  12. Was he in on the punt? I thought I saw that last week too. Maybe he just plays in punt situations for whatever reason?
  13. What's up with Fair Catch McGee back there these past few weeks?
  14. Don't worry, if it gets to that point Tebow will make a couple plays to get the Broncos into field goal range and he will be a hero for "leading" his team to a 3-0 victory.
  15. They might as well just make it illegal to hit the quarterback unless he crosses the line of scrimmage. That seems to be where we're headed.
  16. This needs to be reiterated. The lack of depth has really destroyed us this year, not just at QB. Damage all across the OLine is a normal thing to expect on a football team, except last year, when we had almost no injuries at all. Two white safeties on the same field is inexcusable by the way, and should be a fire-able offense for a GM. This has been a problem for years. When the Bears are healthy, they win. When they suffer injuries, they lose. Many other good teams can overcome injuries with their depth, but the Bears certainly aren't one of them.
  17. I'm not seeing what everyone else is seeing when they rip Hanie. The guys on Comcast Post-Game Live continue to criticize him, but he didn't single-handedly lose the game. He certainly wasn't good, but he doesn't have much help either. Out of his 3 interceptions, only 1 of them was his fault and you could argue that Knox should have even made more of a play on it. I would put this loss more on a combination of poor pass-blocking and play calling and I believe that, out of the options that are available, Hanie still gives the Bears the best chance to win going forward.
  18. Yes, but he had nothing on Tebow.
  19. Smoke and mirrors... In the long run, Broncos fans will be thankful that Elway was one of the few intelligent people who didn't buy into it.
