    I am unreasonably concerned about the bracket selection this year.

    What in the world were those Great Britain uniforms? Did Nike forget they were in the WBC until this morning and someone just laser screened the country over the front?

    For those who want to hear immediate in depth analysis of the trade, Robert Mays of The Athletic is doing an emergency podcast right now with Nate Tice and Dane Brugler (Mays is a huge Bears fan and was sold on Fields from the start):

    In that case, triple trade down go. Houston, then Indy, then lower end top 10 pick.

    Detroit Mercy's Antoine Davis finishes his college career with 3664 total points, 3 shy of Pete Maravich's NCAA record, as Detroit loses in their conference tournament. Davis finished the game with 22 points, missing a 3 at the buzzer.

    Keep trading down, amass all the picks.

    Well, prior to this latest 21 game stretch, the Blackhawks were 8-30, a good 5+ games worse than any other team in the NHL. But now they've gone 13-8 over the last month, and have now passed Anaheim and Columbus in the standings. It's still a draft lottery, but they went from 40% odds to like 20% odds in this streatch. They can still collapse yet, but now there's 20 games left in the season and actually are in a competition with 5-6 other teams for the top spot.

    Plus now they've won 5 straight to not only catch up to the rest of the league in points but actually dig themselves out of the cellar.

    Ha - thanks! I was really only going to sell it to a group that said they like the culture and want to keep it going. You sold the site to the DuCross brothers?

    I did a trade with Houston for 2 and 12 and they went and took Anderson with the #1 pick, out of what I can only imagine is spite for winning that last game of the season.

    This, this is the best Valentine I've seen this year: [tweet] [/tweet]

    Back on the topic of college basketball disaster seasons in this seemingly bizarre season where nobody's sure who's actually good, LSU was 12-1 and receiving votes at the end of December, and since then have lost 11 straight, falling to last in the SEC.

    Not unexpected, but bizarre timing since they signed Wes like, what, last week?

    NFL Playoffs

    There isn't a "Guess what an idiot with 7 SB rings did again?" thread and the playoffs are dead until probably media day next week. There is a "Black Monday" and an offseason thread, though.

    The potentially amusing thing here is the US will not automatically qualify for Copa America, they'll have to qualify via a yet-undetermined method (likely this year's Gold Cup) to find the 6 CONCACAF nations that will participate. So they'll be heavily favored, but will have to qualify.

    More like the Raid-ed, am I right? Good haul, but a terrible mock pick of a player not even ranked in the top 25 of any reputable draft board right now (hell, CBS has him ranked 43), and at an increasingly less important position. Take the best available line prospect, or if for some reason there's a run on OL/DL in the top 5, take the best available CB in a bind (note, the likeliness of this happening is about none and there's a good chance one of Anderson/Carter/Murphy will be there).

    Honest question, if the Bears don't end up finding a trade package they like, and end up just taking Carter or Anderson with the #1 pick, is that a successful use of draft capital at the top?
  19. bukie
    Sometimes teams just have "their guy" and will trade almost anything to get him, even if it means trading up just one spot.

    The mock drafts have started coming through, here's one from CBS Sports from today: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2023-nfl-mock-draft-panthers-trade-up-to-no-1-overall-for-qb-commanders-select-anthony-richardson/ Has the Bears trading down from 1 to 9, missing out on Carter and Anderson but taking the 2nd DL on the board, but also picking up both of Carolina's 2nd round picks, plus 1st and 3rd round picks in 2024, a 2nd round pick in 2025 and WR Laviska Shenault, who is a year younger than DJ Moore (and much less productive). I feel like that would be quite the haul, though I'd prefer Moore if the Bears are getting a WR from Carolina.

    January roster announced. Some exciting names here...and Arriola and Acosta. [tweet] [/tweet]

    The Vikings are 11-1 in one possession games this season.

    Seems like the takeaway the Bills had from last night's game was that they key is turning the ball over 5 times.

    Bizarre statline for Terrence Shannon tonight: scored 17 of the first 19 points for Illinois, and then never scored again in the game.
  25. bukie
    Day 1 is only the 1st round. They aren't getting 4-5 1st round picks That's my mistake, I'm not used to the Bears having first day picks. First two days, I mean, then. 4-5 picks over the first couple rounds, or at worst first two rounds and high third.
