Kind of pathetic, but long snapping was actually a pretty big issue for the Packers last year. They went through three of them, and they had some issues with holds on FG attempts too. With as many draft picks as they had this year, I don't have a problem with them using two of them on specialists.
-
pretty sure this is the case for every team in baseball, not just mutually exclusive to the Cubs.
-
Good Justin Wilson was fun for two weeks, at least.
-
Losing today and tomorrow could put the Bulls right back into contention tho. Go Nets.
-
well, considering he got fined $600,000, you called that. rough 24 hours or so for Mark.
-
A lot depends on Lavine, but they should be able to still get a max player in 2018 or 19 I think. If they can trade Lopez, they should have enough space to get a max this offseason. But yeah, 2019 they'll definitely have enough cap space to get a max guy.
-
Goodwill's record for breaking trades is...not good.
-
you really don't think Boogie is getting a max? guys of his skill set don't grow on trees. even with an Achilles injury and possibly missing 1-2 months to start next season, I think he's absolutely still getting a max deal. and I'll go as far to say as I hope it's the Bulls that give it to him, even though I'm sure that's probably not going to happen.
-
Yep, exactly. Any time they want to trade Mirotic and Lopez sure would be nice.
-
Good or bad? the latter
-
Cubs fans who haven't heard of Zaidman at all are going to be in for a treat.
-
ugh. what a downgrade. zaidman is terrible. i can't stand grote so i don't really care either way i find his inflection and the way he exaggeratedly enunciates many words insanely grating. really? I actually liked Grote -- thought he was one of the few guys on 670 that could do that job well, and I thought he did. the way Zaidman talks makes Grote sound like a damn hero, in comparison.
-
didn't see it posted anywhere else, but 670 is flipping Grote from Cubs pre/postgame to the Bears beat and moving Zaidman over to the Cubs. yuck.

maybe not all the time, but it's not like it's an uncommon practice. teams place players on IR at the end of the year to get roster spots open, even if they're not 100% injured. kind of like in baseball when teams make up an injury to get someone on the DL. And again, the NFL has to approve whether or not a player can be placed on IR, which they did both times for Rodgers. sure, but they cant take a guy off the IR, play him, and put him back on the IR for the same damn injury. That's akin to the Dodgers using the 10 day to expand their roster. And the fact the NFL okay'd it is exactly the issue. they scream parity but play the favorites that go against parity. What other team has gotten away with this? the Dodgers didn't get in trouble for that, and they legitimately just made up injuries. I'm sure you remember when the Vikings ruled Favre out on a Saturday before they played the Bears on a Monday night, and then played after being ruled out. Nothing happened to them and that was far more egregious than what the Packers did. I don't see what the big deal is when they placed Rodgers on IR for Joe horsefeathering Callahan in two completely meaningless games.
-
I don't get what the issue is. Teams manipulate IR all the time as the season ends. The NFL had to approve Rodgers being sent to IR the second time anyway, and obviously they did. Im not sure that is done “all the time” maybe not all the time, but it's not like it's an uncommon practice. teams place players on IR at the end of the year to get roster spots open, even if they're not 100% injured. kind of like in baseball when teams make up an injury to get someone on the DL.

the sooner Barstool goes away, the better off everyone will be.

Gronk wasn't a repeat offender though.
-
trade Niko, please.
-
good to know that Kaplan is still an idiot.

OTOH that's 6 straight games of Lauri shooting no better than 41% on 14 FGA/G Hope he finds his stroke again I haven't watched a ton but when I do it looks like they are mostly using him as a spot up shooter. They need to make him and Dunn the focal point of the offense rather than watching Holiday jack up 25 shots per game. Yes tanking blah blah blah, but I don't want to finish 10-72, I don't think its good for the culture of the team and the perception to FAs for a potential quicker rebuild. You suck too badly for too long and you are now a big market version of the Kings. Didn't really affect the Sixers all that much when they were finishing with records like that and then landing Embiid and Simmons.

that Deadspin picture is terrifying

I think everyone but Auburn needs help. 13-0 Wisconsin is probably a coinflip vs. 12-1 Miami and 12-1 Oklahoma. 12-1 Georgia vs. 12-1 Bama, 12-1 Miami, 13-0 Wisconsin for 2 spots while ND finishes 9-3...ehhhh not certain. 11-2 Ohio St. has no chance overtaking 12-1 Miami, 12-1 Bama, 12-1 Georgia, or 11-2 Auburn. I have a hard time seeing them getting in over 11-2 Oklahoma either. They're REALLY in trouble if Michigan beats Wisconsin. I think Wisconsin is in really good shape if they win out. It's going to be pretty tough for the committee to pass on an undefeated P5 team, especially if they're able to add an Ohio State W to their resume.

We've been out of the playoffs for like three days. Were they supposed to say they were going to fire him while we were still playing? Didn't Bosio's contract just expire? If so, the Cubs really didn't need to make any sort of announcement.
