  1. Bosnia to F. Russia/Portugal left for the last.
  2. France gets free pass to round 2.
  3. B has Spain-Chile-Holland and D has Uruguay-Italy-England.
  4. England to D. Bosnia, Portugal, France, Russia remain.
  5. Greece to C.
  6. B looks like Group of Death unless England or maybe Portugal gets G.
  7. Keep the G theme going and throw Greece in there too, please.
  8. Iran to F, that leaves G and H...
  9. Honduras to E. Damn.
  10. Ooh, Costa Rica gets the shaft.
  11. Dodged group B...
  12. Group G has Germany and Ghana...
  13. No Group B or D, plz.
  14. You're scared he'll be the best reliever on the team?
  15. I probably have an active memory of maybe 10% of the opposing relievers I've seen against the Cubs. If that. And those are the guys that used to be on the Cubs.
  16. Can't say I've been too invested in recent Cubs-Astros game history, no. I don't understand vitriol about the move, though, but people will bitch about anything I suppose.
  17. Yep. I'd actually lean Kemp if we're talking "moves that get GMs fired". Trade Felix for Kemp?
  18. 6, including the actual head coach in the picture.
  19. Yep. Totally going to happen. http://i.imgur.com/X4JBtH4.png
  20. That's Ty Corbin, head coach of the Jazz.
  21. I love this picture.
  22. Basic odds based on October FIFA ratings: Odds that the USMNT will get in a group where they are one of the two best teams: 57% Odds that the USMNT will get in a group where they are the worst team: 4.8% Odds that the USMNT will get in a group where nobody is significantly (10+ spots) better than them: 63% Odds that the USMNT will get in a group where someone is significantly (10+ spots) worse than them: 50% (basically, 4 of the Pot 3 teams in Algeria, Cameroon, Nigeria, and Ghana)
  23. I got the USMNT advancing 6 times in a row, one of them hilariously in a Brazil-Holland-Portugal group and then defeating Spain, Germany, Argentina, and Brazil on their way to win the World Cup.
  24. Ogre would be a good fit. He was as a bigger failure at Ole Miss than Kiffen at USC. And the only reason that anybody is bringing his name up now is the order in which they went 6-2 with him as interim. Its pretty well documented the situations that Kiffen walked into at Oakland and SC. Im not saying hes a great coach, im saying he is a great hire for Illinois. If you would have told Kiffen hed be in Champaign five years ago hed have cut himself. Now hed take the job. I'm bringing his name up b/c I think he's a buffoon and I want to see him tank another program. How exactly does one tank Illinois's program? Tim Beckman...achieving the improbable.
  25. Of course, they're playing with entirely different playbooks, so it's not a 1:1 comparison. McCown's presence really limits what the Bears can do offensively in the system, but within each system, he's a safer bet. Risk/reward, mostly.
