  1. In other words, every other Bears hire for the last 30 years.
  2. If Poles is the GM, I can't see any reason he would put himself in that situation with a GM who is already on the hot seat.. It would have to be a complete house cleaning, and I'm not sure the Bears can move that quickly.
  3. To be fair, Warren appears to be equally as bad at his job
  4. Defense is doing their part.
  5. I never would have thought that was even a possibility, but we're definitely into the "Poles is not safe" territory.
  6. Ugh. NFL QB's can't miss that throw.
  7. The "Thomas Brown as a serious head coach candidate" train left the station and immediately went off the rails.
  8. Bears keep losing, but so does every other bad team. They're gonna end up with like the 8th pick, even after this miserably bad season where it feels like the should be drafting 3rd or 4th.
  9. Small things, but what's the point of taking a knee in the end zone with 4 seconds left? If they run it out, the worst that can happen is they fumble and turn the ball over with no time on the clock. There is no reason not to try running that kick back, no matter how unlikely it is for a kickoff return TD.
  10. Swift is so bad after contact.
  11. Looking over the Cubs payroll situation again, they don't have any significant (non-Tucker) money coming off the books after 2025. If they want to keep enough money free for the possibility of Tucker re-signing, might that mean a primary focus on 1 year deals from here on out?
  12. Right now, who knows. But I suspect they will be clear favorites by the time the rest of the off-season shakes out.
  13. Feels like Billy Beane coordinating multiple simultaneous deals in Moneyball.
  14. I get what you are saying about Smith and his ceiling. I just feel like there is a significant hit tool gap between Caissie and every other Outfielder in the system. There is depth, but it looks more like "4th outfielder" type depth. But if the Cubs can trade for AND re-sign Tucker, it really won't matter.
  15. I agree, Paredes + Caissie should be more than enough, but it won't keep me up at night if Wesneski is or isn't in the deal. I would much rather it be Smith instead of Caissie though, with the amount of quality infield depth the Cubs have in the system.
  16. Good baseball name.
  17. Can you even stay at a Motel 6 for $120?
  18. This is the hard part. Why would Tucker agree to any long term deal now after seeing that Soto money?
  19. horsefeathers. https://x.com/baseballhall/status/1866520052087857328
  20. I tried watching The Simpsons broadcast tonight. It sounded like a fun idea. Turns out it was an awful way to watch a football game, injected with badly forced Simpsons humor.
  21. The Cubs should have just got those guys then!
  22. Ok, so it's not that the Cubs can't be involved with players at the top of the market. But instead they simply decided, "Nah, we don't want this guy who would be the best Cubs player in, perhaps, ever."
  23. The Venn diagram of Cubs budget and need does not intersect.
