This was the only pick in the top 10 that was given a Thumbs down. Post draft grades/reactions are completely meaningless. We all know this.

Thrilho right as usual.

As someone who is perpetually under-informed on the draft, I'm hoping for Lawson and eager to be proven wrong with anybody else. Floyd appears to me that he'll be taken out of the majority of plays, but scheme is such a big factor as well, and Fangio is as trustworthy as you're gonna get in that department. Those combine numbers are impressive and I do trust Fangio to find the right guys. I retract my Lawson criticism.

This is mostly how I look at it. I have guys I like but recognize almost no one knows how this is going to turn out so I don't really get too bent about them picking someone else. I'll be optimistic about anyone they pick because it's more fun that way.

The extent of my scouting is watching a 5 minute highlight video of him last night, but I would concur. I like Floyd better (after watching a 4 minute highlight video of him this morning).

This is a good list. I would add Leonard Floyd @ 9. I'm not enthused about Shaq Lawson. Caveat: I don't really know what I'm talking about. I also don't like the trade up since I feel that the draft is mostly a crap shoot and trading many picks for a single pick is unlikely to work out.

I'd be pretty happy with Elliot but I doubt he is available at #11.

Where is the gold chain? We were all robbed, imo.

I used to enjoy listening to B&B every once in a while when I was doing paperwork or whatever, but I can't listen to Dan anymore. His pseudo-intellectual hot takes are too predictable at this point. He really thinks a lot of himself for a guy who literally just gabs about sports for his life's work. Well, that and shilling reverse mortgages and crappy wine.

Chocolate Milk: [to John Lackey] I don't know what it is about your face, [holds up fist] Chocolate Milk: but I just wanna deliver one of these right in your suck hole.

Half a step above just eating out of a dumpster.

He apparently just spouted off to the media too, about how the White Sox lied to the players....they aren't rebelling against the rules, they're rebelling against BS....and how the wrong people left that room...meaning it shouldn't have been the LaRoche's, it should've been Kenny Williams. Juvenile. You're not in charge, Chris. You just throw baseballs.

This whole White Sox thing is baffling. Why is Chris Sale taking this so hard? He seems like a weirdo.

Certainly continuity plays a part, and it is meaningful. But the biggest thing is that I trust Fox with coaching hires. End of half timeout usage, no. But coaching hires, I give him the benefit of the doubt. This is pretty much where I am at.

I can almost see Kaplan's blank dopey expression when I read that tweet.

I'm fine with it.

This game was a real couch slapper.

The WR screen game is what he did in Denver. Peyton Manning has consistently led the league in WR screen yards as a Bronco. The Bears haven't done it as much as I expected, but it's well designed and run a lot of different ways. Run from the bunch formation, two wide formation with the TE screaming out to get a block, WR catching it coming back to the QB with the OL getting out in front. Really protects your QB and gives you some easy yards when the run game isn't going, and like you said, slows down the pass rush. Defensively, they are covering their asses off. Porter has been great. But teams aren't even going at Kyle Fuller anymore. I think GB threw his way maybe 2 times, and I don't think remember any completions on him. Callahan was the key though last night. I know Porter had the INT (should have been 2) and the PBUs, but the Packers clearly went in there trying to expose Callahan at the nickel, and they couldn't. Got the big play on him on the final drive, but other than that he was very strong following Cobb all over the field. Amos did a good job on the TEs in man coverage, which we have not seen much from him. Fangio also gave no coverage responsibility to McClellin (mostly spied and dropped following the QBs eyes), and I don't remember very many blitzes or zone coverage calls against Rodgers. https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/11/27/pro-cutler-fuller-earn-good-grades-versus-packers/

There still has to be a backup. Don't they have that fast guy who used to play for ATL? Yeah Jacquizz Rodgers is still on the roster I believe. He's on IR.

I'm not giving up hope. Nothing can stop the Cubs from winning this series. Not that bigot who now magically hits home runs in nearly every at bat. Not their stable of waifish, long-haired, goober pitchers. Not even their manager who talks like a 1930's jockey.

This picture is awesome because you can see how stunned everyone in the crowd is by Schwarber's epic dong power. Everyone's mouths are in little "Os" as they try to comprehend what they have just seen. The only way that home run would have been better is if Soler threw his gold chain from the dugout around Schwarber's neck like he was playing horseshoes. That way we could have gotten a little chain swang while Schwarbs trotted around the bases.

I've probably watched the replay of Schwarber's bomb like 30 times. "What in the world?"

Hell yes!

That's what it looked like to me.

WOW
