  1. Klinsmann is German Dusty Baker. He sucks.
  2. If that is true, Klinsmann is exactly as incompetent as I thought.
  3. And that ponce wonders why he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt in the box...
  4. He'll get there. The header was poor, but he had a nice assist and looks to be an important part for Spurs so far. Tactically, AVB is using him in very interesting ways. Hopefully he'll get back on the scoring track with a big week for us next week.
  5. TT, if our budget were a thing we were bumping up against, or if it came at the expensive of adding Darvish or Cespedes or whatever, that I can understand giving whatever you would have given Aramis for a better now + long term investment. But, IIRC (and I am too lazy to look it up), I feel like he signed with Milwaukee after those other dominoes fell. We have a miniscule payroll; there would have been nothing wrong with letting your best player from 2004-2011 finish it out here. Especially if you want to go younger long term-having a couple veteran guys like Soriano and Ramirez isn't the worst thing ever. But, if the overall plan wasn't to contend this year or next, doesn't that sort of eliminate the injury risk there? It's not as if it's a thing like, if he gets hurt, we're in a bind because we're trying to win and we've already spent $110m on the team. You could still have brought in Stewart and let him back Ramirez up. Of course, maybe he picks up his side of the option if Brenly + media doesn't spend 3 months last year torching him for stupid reasons, with the front office doing nothing to stop it. It's water under the bridge now, but I thought the move sucked then and think it sucks now, because it's hard for me to shake the feeling that our management team decided to go all-in on a video game rebuild just to see if they could pull it off.
  6. You guys remember the time I was all like "I know I'm not necessarily being objective but we should absolutely bring Aramis back b/c he's been the best 3B in the history of the team and he's awesome and great and such" and Kyle and that other whatshisname who hates everything and everyone-oh yeah, davearm-were all like "noooo, financial flexibility! Bad contract!" Yeah.
  7. Goodness gracious. Yet another "Derrick Rose is dumb" crack. Who cares? He's not dumb on the court. So the guy couldn't break xxx on his SAT. Big deal. If he's so smart on the court, why did he tear his ACL? In this thread, SSR kills pretty much everyone.
  8. Cut up your radio in protest.
  9. Chicago media: worst thing ever, or worst thing ever?
  10. It is not possible for me to like Jay Cutler more. So surly and dickish.
  11. This. Horrible image of him wrecking his nee there.
  12. Put in Neckbeard and lets pick him off, too.
  13. Tony Romo is Mobile Rex Grossman, only with more "aw shucks"
  14. Hahahahahahaha Romo.
  15. This should quell the meatball rebellion for a week or two.
  16. I see you, Minny
  17. Got lucky there.
  18. Isn't this what Dallas (Romo) does, though? Look competent then completely crap all over themselves?
  19. You mean like when he scored a rather athletic TD earlier in the game? Yes, that one play totally nukes what I was talking about.
  20. Remember when Miles Austin was a thing?
  21. Is Dez Bryant drunk?
  22. Except he was holding him pretty much from the instant he got into the end zone. Someone calm the homeless guy on the Cowboys sideline down.
  23. 2 runs from the shotgun? Really?
  24. Urlacher's lateral speed is shot. Age + nee.
