  1. Eh, Madden's not so bad. He's a Captain Obvious, but at least he's a friendly, familiar football voice. I dunno. I just naturally associate his voice with football, so I don't mind him so much. Compared to Mike North, who's just an incompetent blowhard and frequently gets things totally wrong and deliberately misleads and exudes arrogance, I think Madden would be a blessing.
  2. I wouldn't be surprised to see him at AA by the end of the year?
  3. :( I don't get it. IIRC, if he's put on the IR he can't come off until the next season. Meaning he wouldn't be able to play at all next year. That doesn't make sense. The quote, which is common knowledge I thought, is stating that Tommie Harris cannot play in the playoffs. He will be able to play opening day next year. I am not sure what you are saying. Oh. I was under the impression that the quote meant he would be starting next year on the IR, therefore missing next year altogether. I thought it said "Tommie Harris may be on the IR and not eligable to play next season". My mistake.
  4. Me too. I was really glad to see OSU and Michigan crushed. Nothing like seeing those fans in deep sorrow to warm my heart.
  5. :( I don't get it. IIRC, if he's put on the IR he can't come off until the next season. Meaning he wouldn't be able to play at all next year.
  6. Buck. He really is a hack. Although I do want to cast a second vote for Kruk.
  7. Clemens by far. He played in a much tougher era.
  8. I understand all but Kinkade. 33 years old? Why bother?
  9. Wait a second, no Joe Buck?
  10. I've heard that less power pitchers come out of college for this reason, and that pitchers coming from college generally have more pitches because they're more afraid to use the fastball.
  11. I seriously doubt Edmonds makes that line. Rolen, it's possible. I wonder what Looper's projection would be as a starter?
  12. If that's Illinois in a couple years, consider me happy.
  13. I'd say McCarver is probably the worst, hands down.
  14. Wow, had no idea this board was so high on Benson. Isn't it a concern that he's taken this long to develop?
  15. I think that may be giving too much credit to Lovie Banedon, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Bears defense stepped up just as Indy's defense stepped up on Saturday. Plus, all this business about momentum makes me sick. The Packers game was nothing more than an exhibition game, with the key being that no one got hurt, and our enemies think us weaker than we really are.
  16. Ain't that the truth? Just in life in general? Enter my new life philosophy. Ah, the offseason.... :lol:
  17. Hopefully the Saints lose to the Eagles too. But I'm reasonably confident in this matchup. I think we can beat them.
  18. I think Dempster will be traded before the season starts. If he's on the team, he'll probably be given the closer role at the beginning, before he blows a couple leads and Kerry Wood steps in.
  19. Got my awesome orange Vasher jersey for Christmas....and I'll be wearing it on New Year's Eve watching the game. The good thing is that at my party the game will definitely be on, and then I can just keep on drinking for the normal party. It's gonna be a hoot! Time to smash those Packers and finish off Brett Favre.
  20. Was it easy to get tickets? I was thinking of attending Friday night's game against the Bruins with some of my friends...probably sit in the cheap student section. Haven't seen a Hawks game in AGES...
  21. Kinda iffy right now, but I'd be shocked if he isn't in the top 30 by the end of his career.
  22. What is the most carries Benson has got this year?
