Bears game 1: Sunday Sep. 12 vs DET on Fox
SpongeWorthy replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Being able to run a profitable, privately held business that you inherit from your highly innovative father/grandfather isn't really a sign of great business acumen. You take a valuable, highly visible asset in a captive market and you don't run it to the ground...sorry if I'm not singing your praises as an incredible business genius. -
Bears game 1: Sunday Sep. 12 vs DET on Fox

I'm not sure Snyder and Jones are ridiculed for being bad businessmen. They're ridiculed for their egos and in Snyder's case, a lack of success on the field. Anyway, the Bears are run poorly from a business perspective and I don't think there's any disputing that. Now if it doesn't affect the product on the field then I could really care less but the 2nd article says the Bears have not been in the top 10 in payroll once since 1998 so I think we can assume it's a problem. From a larger perspective I think it's indicative of a culture that doesn't embrace change very well and isn't really cut throat about winning. That's why we get all these nice leader of men types as head coaches and no real innovators. Plus I'm really just annoyed that the Bears are treated like the Tampa Bay Bucs while the Eagles and Cowboys of the world have their own personal ESPN reporters. It's not a huge deal or anything but it sticks in my craw. -
So there's no prime time ABC game this week? Pretty dumb not to put the Miami @ OSU game at 8 EST on ABC, IMO. The Shoe is awesome at night plus there's already a glut of great games at 3:30 EST.

http://www.forbes.com/2010/08/25/most-valuable-nfl-teams-business-sports-football-valuations-10-intro.html The Chicago Bears are only the 9th most valuable franchise in the NFL. That's pretty pathetic. http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2010/0913/nfl-values-10-bears-chicago-football-money-midgets-midway.html -
Coaches Poll is 1/3 of the BCS formula.
-
No he was the best player.
-
Tyrod Taylor was the best player on the field by a country mile.
-
The play was whistled dead much earlier than the hit OOB.
-
That guy was wide open for a TD except Kellen Moore can't throw it that far.
-
Tyrod Taylor looks like Nas.
-
Yeah, he's really good and considering how much Rex Ryan loves to blitz (IIRC, they blitzed on a far higher percentage of plays than any other team), he's really important.
-
Can we really call a QB who never has to (or can't) throw the ball harder than a junior high softball player a Heisman Trophy candidate?
-
Yep, spoke too soon about this being over. You've got to like Tyrod Taylor's poise and decision making.
-
If this game is any indication of their play, I don't see them beating Georgia Tech, UNC, or Miami. Or maybe BC. They always do this though. Look crappy early and then grind out a bunch of wins to put themselves in position for a conference championship.
-
This game is over. Now Virginia Tech will reel off 9 or so straight wins playing largely unwatchable football to win another ACC title.
-
ridiculous Every time a new stud comes on the market (or holds out I guess) he becomes the highest paid X player ever. I don't think it means all that much.
-
The OSU/Miami line strikes me as too high and the ND/Michigan one is a total stab in the dark, IMO.
-
Early lines of interest: OU -9 FSU ND -4 Michigan OSU -10 Miami Oregon -13 Tennessee Alabama -12 Penn St
-
I think it would be harder for a Boise State type of team to get ready for a quality, BCS conference opponent (almost) every week than for it to get geeked up and game plan for the one powerhouse on its schedule. That's where the biggest difference lies. I'm not against a non-BCS school getting a shot at the national title in theory though.
-
That's PI by the book but whatever. Catch the ball. Oh well. College football is back :cool:
