    Exactly what I came here to post. The Cubs are such a historic franchise, but so much of the franchise's biggest successes came before the proliferation of video. It always bothered me that "our" big moments were never mentioned in this type of montage -- mostly because there wasn't good footage of them. It was so cool to see it included.

    Harden's eFG% is better and there are some analyses on how Westbook has been leaving his man to stuff rebound stat sheets -- there have been some analyses on this. I don't think it's as easy a decision as you claim. Oh, I know there's a bunch of advanced metrics/analysis that makes you vote for Harden/James/ etc over Westbrook. I'm not going to dispute that at all. It's just we're talking about a historic season that has been done only 1 other time in history. Basically it's the equivalent to a .400 season in baseball (even though that's been done more than once). It's worth noting that Harden's numbers are also historic. No one's put them up (including Russ this year obviously) since Robertson in 1965. Triple doubles are cool and Westbrook is having an incredible season, but this feels like Trout vs. Triple Crown Cabrera to me.

    Seriously... the dude is going to finish with a triple double average and SOMEHOW he might not win MVP? All cuz Harden/James/etc have more wins? It should be unanimous for Westbrook. Harden's eFG% is better and there are some analyses on how Westbook has been leaving his man to stuff rebound stat sheets -- there have been some analyses on this. I don't think it's as easy a decision as you claim.

    That wasn't out of this world but was pretty good. I don't think I will ever not get chills recalling some of these moments.

    If they turn his book into a movie, does that make him a big enough star? http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/david-ross-chicago-cubs-world-series-victory-movie-planned-987568 Independent film? Meh.

    You must've grown up fast. Like your childhood was cut short. Cut short. Cut shorts.

    Pretty stunning that a pre-teen would care more about his favorite college team than someone who went there for a master's in theater? What?

    That's just an odd interpretation, and not at all what ABC is trying to do. The whole "celebrity" game show genre uses very few true household names. What they do is try and pull people from various walks of celebrityhood to pull eyes to the show that may not otherwise watch. A good amount of Cubs fans watched strictly because a popular former player was involved and lots of current star players have mentioned it on social media. On top of that, the Cubs winning the world series was the biggest story in U.S. sports last year and Ross played a part. There was no way they were getting any active player involved, just based on the timing of the show. They've never had a baseball player prior to Ross. I'm sure they'd love to get Jeter or Bonds, but those guys have a lot less incentive to participate than a guy like Ross. Oh it's definitely an audience draw play. What I'm saying is they give him a job at ESPN, then get him to sign up for DWTS, then overpromote -- including through GMA -- and make him seem like he's a bigger draw/star than he is. That last part is what has jumped the shark in that calling him a star over and over again doesn't make him one. Totally par for the course but silly nonetheless.

    Happy for Ross and the Cubs attention. Having them hang out at Wrigley was cool and Skyping current players was really funny. Also this has officially jumped the shark. ABC machine trying to make David Ross of all people a household name thing is hilarious.

    Guys did you know Nebraska is the only major conference team to never have won an NCAA Tournament game? Sad!

    His voice is also way too high pitched for how big he is, which adds to the annoying factor. "You got safe? Safe, right? Cmon, don't screw this up New York!"
  16. ConstableRabbit
    Yep.

    That was so sick.

    I was at that game. Crowd was deafening. I actually think that the entire crowd was singing "whoop there it is"
  19. ConstableRabbit
    It sounds like the crowd noise is breaking the mics.
  20. ConstableRabbit
    Um. Holy horsefeathers.

    I hope he's 2017 Oscar Tavares You want him to die?

    I got chills for like 10 mins after watching those two highlights. How are we only at #50?!

    This is so hilariously salty. So many "almosts" -- except Bryant also almost hit his out. Reading stuff like this also makes me that much happier that we won.

    That was impressive. Wondering if I should be worried about Lindsey though... Not yet -- he has mono, right? If he's not back by next week, then it would start to get worrisome. Yeah. I've never had it but know it can get pretty nasty, esp if spleen issues arise.
