  1. I'm so much more broken up over this than I thought I'd be. He was such a kind man and I will never forget my interactions with him.
  2. Really sucks to lose like that when there are two horrible goaltend non-calls. Also, OSU's Russell is very good.
  3. This statement describes 99% of banned NSBB laughingstocks.
  4. You really are living in the past. #gotone
  5. More of a robber-baron, imo.
  6. Crane doesn't come across as much as a clown as he does a bawss. Eta: ...unless the rooftops win.
  7. Yeah, he's a great follow on Twitter. Fowler sounds like a pretty fun upbeat guy. What's his username?
  8. So a bunch of balls are more than 15% under inflated and no ref noticed?
  9. I will miss Luis a lot. But this is exciting.
  10. Damnit! Completely misread the post. Sorry, Brandon. Epic fail.
  11. Huh? Breaking news that's days (and or pages) old.
  12. The tweet seemed to imply that it was bush league because Kim is recovering from an illness.
  13. Your employer blocks Chrome Extensions? Yes. It's a large company and the software on systems is monitored and regulated quite heavily. Fortunately, the internet monitoring that used to be quite rigorous has largely been opened up. Wow, sorry to hear that.

  15. He was probably watching some game tape.
  16. I'm guessing teams are going to be a little turned off from offering RGIII type hauls after how that's turned out. The Steelers could be an interesting team for him, if he does fall. Big Ben is getting old and his contract is up soon. Technically, Winston is already a stealer. Yep, that was the joke. Difficult to make homophone puns in writing without some sort of misunderstanding.

  18. Eh, he had a few good years. The comparison isn't really the problem, it's more that people think George was this horrible QB when he was mostly decent. I guess in that way he's very much like Cutler. Oh I agree, but Cutler's numbers are absolutely better than George's. George: 131 games, 57.9% completion percentage, 27,602 yards, 154 TD/113 INT for an 80.4 rating (and 41 fumbles) Cutler: 119 games, 61.7% completion percentage, 27,749 yards, 183 TD/130 INT for an 85.2 rating (and 45 fumbles) As I referenced above, "era" has a lot to do with Jay's numbers being better. They're very similar and similar compared to their peers. Nothing wrong with having an average QB who can make some unbelievable throws. That's fair.

Cutler is absolutely better.
  20. If the Bears do move on from Cutler in a couple years, and Shanahan is the head coach. He will have failed and he will probably not be the guy to make the next selection. Presumably, an entrenched GM would then get the chance to start fresh at that time. You avoid throwing away the future by not trading anymore future draft picks, whether that is for current veterans or even moving up in the draft. They can hire a GM and Shanahan, try and win the next couple years without levering the future and while still turning over the roster with younger players. I'm not necessarily saying he has to be the guy, but there is nobody currently out there who is a better bet to win the next few years and no obvious better choices. There's a bunch of lottery tickets out there with the same resumes as a million previous failed head coaches. But a GM is starting fresh now. What's the point of firing Emery if this new GM will be starting fresh (again) in 2 years? They can hire a GM, keep Cutler, and try to win the next couple years, while still turning over the roster, with a coach other than Shanahan. This shouldn't be a Cubs like situation. You get your Maddon now if you feel he's out there. You don't waste a couple years with Dale Swuem, while you get the roster together. Except Shanahan isn't Dale [expletive] Sveum.
