Week 10: Bears (3-5) @ Packers (5-3) 7:30PM NBC/780
ConstableRabbit replied to UMFan83's topic in Other Sports
Have you ever heard of the Cleveland Browns? Not nearly the teasing and heartbreak. But they've definitely been more dominated. -

Double-wides look like the cottage, not the other way around.

He posted a short video of that on Instagram a few weeks back. It's pretty sweet.

mad dog? he's an incredibly famous radio guy who had a show with Mike Francesa for ~20 years before going to siriusxm. He has a siriusxm channel named after him. He's been on MLB network all year. He's national. For a sports talk radio guy he is about as big as you can get. I know, I was just teasing you because my New York friends are obsessed with both of those guys and can't believe that I don't listen to them. Still, "incredibly famous" is a stretch.

I love Fonzie. Not a wrestling fan, but I also loved his silly hand wave thing: http://www.wwe.com/videos/you-cant-see-chicago-cubs-star-alfonso-soriano-10596108

It was? I seem to recall loving him at that price. There were a lot of people who thought it was too much. There are even people who still think it wasn't a good deal after the fact, shockingly.

Meh, it was probably a slight overpay even if you factor in the extra playoff revenue. But depending on what Corey Black does for us that could still change. It definitely wasn't anything like the sort of albatross people made it out to be, though. I wasn't a fan of the signing, but it turned out about as well as could reasonably be expected. Hell, I can't think of more than a couple mega-deals that have worked out any better. Probably depends on how far back we're going on this definition of mega-deal. Derek Jeter signed a 10 year, 189m deal in 2001 that seemed high at the time, but worked out pretty well. I guess the difference there is that wasn't a free-agent signing. Zack Greinke contract looks ok. But other than that, most big-time FA deals don't pan out as hoped. Beltran's Mets deal was panned at the time but turned out to be fine, as was Beltre's with Seattle (and Texas).

You can tell the Cubs are pretty close to being good because the cognitive dissonance from rival fans has gone through the roof. i feel like quantifying this could be my contribution to baseball analysis Lots of peaks when we were good, significant decline since we've been horrible. I think you may be onto something.

That is incredible. I find it..., confusing. Pff, Maddon is Zordon, obviously. Read a book. It's not the reference, it's the "roster". Hahahaha! I totally missed that!

Oh this is gonna be good... what'd he ask? Accountability for Castro? He basically asked how Dusty and Lou (who he presumably thinks are on the same level as Maddon) couldn't get it done and why Maddon was gonna be different and topped it off with "do you know what the hell you've gotten yourself into?" Hahaha what did Maddon say? "Why would you not want want to accept that challenge? In this city? With this ballpark? With these players?" Outstanding. Thank you.

I was pretty surprised and impressed by how honest that statement was.

I switched from Daily to Combo with the stipulation that I had to be in the bleachers for one season. Worked out really well since I'm back in the upper deck for this year.

Kaplan was going on on Twitter about how the FO met with Ricky face to face. He did say it was Hoyer, so Wittenmeyer's statement could be true, technically.

David Kaplan @thekapman 2m2 minutes ago CBS says Maddon deal to Cubs is done. Very good source close to situation tell me deal is not done yet. I do believe that it gets done.
