  1. Yes! This thread has become exactly what I hoped.
  2. I had to spare Baez. I just couldn't bring myself to have him die too... Scouts giving their opinions. I personally think it's Olt's to lose. I see no reason to believe he won't lose it. Better go into the season with multiple backup plans.
  3. Sex in general is funny to me. The movements, sounds, faces....can't imagine why anyone would want to watch themselves and relive that [expletive].
  4. I'm with IMB, I'll watch anyone famous that I've heard of in a sex tape. I'd probably watch any of my guy friends banging a chick too just for the laughs. I have never seen a non celeb sex tape, but I have heard audio back in HS which was hilarious.
  5. He'd kill for that 3.0 average on the field. And I like the "something in common with the Colts mascot" comment. Not because its funny, but because there has never been nor will there ever be sex tape that hits the light of day where the male isn't above average endowment. A) the man controls the release of the tape. B) a little guy doesn't need a reminder of his shortcoming.
  6. Did u do that on purpose? And yes I know it's "ON".
  7. I felt like the touch calls were being called in the open court but they were letting them play on the inside. Which is biased towards the team with 4 players starting taller than the entire opponent's starting lineup. Oh and travels and tie ups were called lopsidedly. But it shouldn't have mattered because IU should have been able to still win by 15 despite that.
  8. Alshon Jeffery in the crowd.
  9. Randle is [expletive] awesome!
  10. Horribly officiated game. They got a last possession when a guy travelled into a tie up and got a timeout called from the sideline. One-sided on the handchecking and charge/block calls. Indiana fans whining about foul calling crack me up. I feel the same about Illinois fans whining about whining from a game they probably didn't watch.
  11. Horribly officiated game. They got a last possession when a guy travelled into a tie up and got a timeout called from the sideline. One-sided on the handchecking and charge/block calls.
  12. 1 for 16 from 3. Made their first. 2 assists on 11 baskets.
  13. Better get hot then. 19 points thru 15 minutes. Allowed a 14-0 run at home. Home cooking calls for the road team.
  14. Um, you left out the IU-LIU game. :P Haha, didn't Crean say it would be a 'good test'? Oh, I have no doubt he did. Strange to have free tickets to an IU game and wish it was on another night. Oh well, should be able to catch some/most of the better games after IU's "good test." Goal for tonight is to hit multiple jumpshots in the game. Also, Crean is an absolutely terrible offensive coach. His "sets" are bad. I'd like to see some legit post feeds to Vonleh and somebody throw a screen to free someone.
  15. Personally I've never thought that Soler(and Concepcion for that matter) were counted towards the payroll in that manner, but it looks like you're missing Fujikawa's 4.5 million so it balances out. Since I read that this morning, I've been trying to think through some moves that make the best of an 85 million payroll. First pass was something like: Samardzija for 2 real good arms(Delgado and Skaggs is my favorite at the moment), one should be able to slot into the rotation Lake for Ackley Barney for Herrera Villanueva for Maybin Sign a FA SP(Ubaldo and Kazmir are the current favorites), sign a RH OF to share time with Schierholtz(Young, Gutierrez) That should get you to 85 million and have something like: Sweeney/Castro/Rizzo/Castillo/Platoon OF/Platoon 3B/Maybin/Ackley Ubaldo/Wood/Jackson/Delgado/Arrieta Strop/Herrera/Parker/Russell/Rusin/etc Not a playoff contender, but a lot deeper than recent years, and the coming power prospects are exactly what that lineup is missing. That's not a bad team if Ubaldo is close to 2nd half Ubaldo and the back end of that bullpen is good. Bounce backs from Castro, Rizzo, and Ackley and you have some offense once you add Baez.
  16. Could make a good ass team with the players in the division missing significant time this year. QB- Rodgers, Cutler WR- Cobb, Burleson TE- Finley LT- Bulaga DL- Melton, Collins LB- Matthews, Briggs, DJ Williams DB- Tillman, Hayward
  17. Yeah, I actually think that's a very likely scenario. Pissing off Cutler isn't a big deal. The Bears are still going to pay him if he leads them to a Superbowl or is excellent during a deep playoff run in 2014 in that scenario. Nobody's giving up 2 #1s for him either. Could work out a deal though, ala NE with Cassel.
  18. That matches pretty much with the eye test from yesterday. Slauson really got eaten alive by Suh all day. Fairley too at times. Neither did all that much against Long, though he wasn't getting great push either. I thought Bostic played really well.
  19. Ehhh...I don't know about the Urlacher comparison. Tillman is still able to play at a high level. It's just health that's the concern. "just" Urlacher couldn't play at a high level because of health. Tillman is out with an arm injury, but has had leg issues all year.
  20. Again I don't disagree. But can you save $15 million a year and draft a QB who works great in this system and barely miss a step? If you are extremely lucky. Again, you're not getting the pick of the litter at 18-22nd draft pick. So that becomes a longshot. And even if you do miraculously barely miss a step at QB, you still have to basically remake the defense almost from scratch, and have 2 FAs on the OL.
  21. Tillman might have played his last down as a Bear. Hard to justify bringing him back at a contract he would find ideal when he will have missed half the season and gOing on 33. Similar situation to Urlacher last year. He is on IR designated to return. So he could play if the Bears are in the divisional round of the playoffs.
  22. Sample size. McCown had a good half against a terrible D. A good game. And a good drive. He has a 10-year career of crappiness that shows the team would suffer with him as the fulltime QB...and that likely extends to anyone else, beca there is literally 0 chance the Bears get a QB as good as Cutler in 2014.
  23. I'm 50/50. 50/50 on your preference or on what you think they'll do? I'm 100 on keeping Jay, but yesterday looked to me like a "give him enough rope to hang himself situation." I feel like they might be looking for an excuse to let him walk. What they'll do. I think my history on this site clearly show I'm 100% in on Jay being here forever.
