    Man, no kidding. I was hoping to get to that game all year and have checked StubHub every week. Tickets have barely been below $100 each. I guess my couch wins this one. I'd be willing to bet you can get a pretty solid deal if you go down there on Sunday. I'm thinking about it. I'm guessing a lot of people are trying to take advantage of the Chicago factor and have way over priced their seats hoping to make a buck.

    Well, the fantasy football gods looked upon me kindly this week. I won my match up 100-99 and would have been tied if the Patriots had scored at the end of the game with my opponent having Gostkowski to kick the PAT.

    Kind of hard to compare payrolls from 10 years ago with the numbers the way they are now. An $80 million payroll in 2003/4 was a really solid number then. It's peanuts now.

    why is it unnecessary? how should they have made it better? By not agreeing to a completely horse [expletive] financing deal to help line Zell's pockets to guarantee they'd get the team.

    If you seriously think TV Ted Valentine and Ed Hightower will be told how to officiate a game by the NCAA, I think you're sorely mistaken. I have no doubt the B10 season will be as physical as always and it will bite them in the ass in the tournament as usual.

    One of the coolest sports moments of our lives. Agreed. Those gold shoes were awesome. If I recall correctly, he was kinda late getting out of the blocks, but had made up most of the stagger from lane 3 by about 3/4 of the way around the turn. I was a 400/800 runner in HS, so I was more partial to his 400m race. He made up the stagger by about 200m in... let up quite a bit towards the end and still won by a second. I was at about 110m and had a great view of them coming out of the turn. He pretty much was even or just a little ahead of the rest of the runners and he looked like he got shot out of a cannon coming out of the turn. The burst he put on from 80-120m was just unreal. That and the wave of flash bulbs as they went around the turn are my two most vivid memories of that 19 seconds of my life.

    I had just turned 20 and was able to go because I have an aunt who lives in the Atlanta area. My two buddies and I were in that stadium the night Michael Johnson broke the world record in the 200m. That was insane.

    I agree with Tree. Detroit as my first choice and I honestly think Philly would be my #2. That Redskins defense is baaaaad.

    I picked up Palmer. He has a pretty easy schedule the rest of the way. Of those 2, I'd go Flacco since the Bears D appears to be decimated.

    Leader of the ignoramuses, eh?

    Foles, Jeffery, and Cooper

    Probably not the best place to ask, but when do they announce spring training schedules?
  13. mul21
    Do they base the top 5 calculation on salary cap hit or AAV? Either way, it looks to be significantly higher than $16.5 mil. Looks like about $19.5 by AAV and just a little under $19 mil by salary cap hit.

    I don't think you can do this unless you're completely prepared to walk away from Cutler entirely, regardless of another team making an offer or not. This move would do nothing but piss off the Cutler camp and make further negotiations on a contract nearly impossible because of the ~$8MM slap in the face of not making the full franchise offer. Even if he really doesn't play much for the last half of the season? It seems reasonable if the guy can't stay healthy for the Bears to look for a way to lower that hefty price tag somehow, or seek a method of compensation if he wants to go elsewhere and make more money. No, I think you could pull it off in that scenario. I was basing that on him coming back reasonably healthy and playing fairly well.

    And the point others are making is that you are making assumptions that would probably not hold up in the real world. The real world is what has happened the last 3 games with McCown. It is becoming a trend. Well, if you can have him come in as a reliever that teams haven't prepared for or play against an awful defense every week, then yeah, it's becoming a trend.
  17. mul21
    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. That said, I really like him in his current role. I don't feel like the game is automatically over if he has to come in, which is good. But yeah, put him under the pressure of being the every week starter where teams can study him regularly -- he'll sink back to mediocrity. This is the single most important point that needs to be made to all the meatheads (meatballs?) about why McCown isn't nearly as good as he has looked. You can just see the lack of arm strength in some of the throws he makes, but when you have giant receivers and no time to game plan against him, that kind of gets lost in the shuffle.

    Tate is solid. Much better than I thought he would be. Is this on tv somewhere?
  19. mul21
    Is this the prevailing thought up there? I just can't fathom this being a common idea and this is coming from a generally pretty smart guy.
  20. mul21
    And instead of people praising him for gutting out a halfway decent performance, you'll have them bitching about how he should have come out. That's not on Jay, that's on the coaching staff. He's not coming out unless he can't walk and the staff has to make the decision for him when he's not as effective as the backup would be. Also, there's maybe 2 guys who make the play where Alshon dropped it in the corner and one of them is on his team and the other one is Chocobot. The first one he had to have though.

    YOU HAVE TWO [expletive] 6'8" RECEIVERS. THROW THEM THE GOD DAMN BALL!
  22. mul21
    They just need to not screw around and score a TD. I don't care if it's a one play drive.
  23. mul21
    Not until after he bobbled it unfortunately. Hell of an effort though.
  24. mul21
    Definitely seems like he's getting hit a lot more today than he has the rest of the year.
  25. mul21
    Yeah, I don't think there's any way you can start Bennett. Just not enough upside.
