Ohh yeah. That's an oversight for sure. I'm going to watch all of these games on YouTube.

http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/rank?versionId=1&listId=440 Pretty good list I think. My biggest disagreement would be putting in the 100 meter butterfly over the 4x100 freestyle relay with the monster Jason Lezac comeback on the final leg. But I guess that wasn't Phelpsy enough. Best: 2007 Fiesta Bowl. This game still boggles my mind.

I'm sure she shares in the frustration too but I don't see where she explicitly said that she was frustrated by Tiger going with a bunch of white women. There was no way a black woman was going to write a column saying that black women are mad at Tiger for marrying a white woman and then cheating with a bunch of white women without having that label of frustration slapped on herself (maybe if she were publicly gay, even then I doubt it). I don't know anything about her so maybe she does have a history of writing columns that play the race card or are just downright racist. I think what she did write in this instance was fair game.

She didn't just point it out. She said that he shouldn't have married a white woman. Well sort of. She explicitly says that she shouldn't have married a nanny and a part time model who was introduced to him by another golfer. I wouldn't disagree that it definitely smacks of her being mad that he married a white woman. I just don't think it's particurlarly race baiting to say that some black women are annoyed that successful black men marry white women. That sentiment definitely exists.
-
There's nothing racist about a black columnist pointing out that many black women are annoyed (even pissed) that Tiger Woods married a white woman and cheated with a bunch of other white women.
-
Seems like it's much ado about nothing. I think it's well within the realm of plausibility that Tiger used the guy for just platelet therapy on his knee. Although I wouldn't be shocked if he were on something else too.
-
And let's not forget the top 5-10 draft busts in Fizer, Crawford, Williams (remember this guy?), Curry, and Chandler.

The Ben Wallace signing was stupid the moment it happened. I don't think it was unanimously loved. It was basically a move that reinforced what the Bulls were already very good at and made their weaknesses more glaring. Horrible signing at the time. There are some good things in that list. Mostly crappy. I did like those Skiles teams at the time because it really was pure hustle and scrap but you knew they weren't legit contenders. And this years team has basically sapped me of all optimism generated by the Boston series. Your list also excluded the 2000 free agent class when the Bulls were way under the cap and targeting Duncan, McGrady, and Hill and we ended up with Ron Mercer.

College Football - Championship Week and Beyond

Ingram isn't even top 10 worst Heisman winners of all time. There's at least a dozen system quarterbacks who were worse. -
2007 was pretty disappointing. I honestly thought that team was "loaded."
-
I'm pretty sure Cutler doesn't know how to change protections either.
-
Brandon Marshall has 20 receptions.
-
The protection was there jackass. Step up in the pocket and show some freaking poise.
-
Nice throw you [expletive] idiot.
-
OMG only my team has a punt violently kick forward into the end zone!!
-
Forte should notice how Bell falls forward on contact.
-
I think it's been under reported how the Bears have gotten absolutely nothing out of Gilbert, Iglesias, Moore, Melton, etc. Are these guys even on the roster? I haven't heard anything about them.
-
Twice in a row!
-
That has to be one of the few times a Bears wide receiver caught a ball where he wasn't wide open. That's been missing, big time.
-
Inconsistent footwork for one.

Most quarterbacks in the NFL aren't going to look too good on a terrible team. So the fact he is playing bad on a bad team doesn't really tell me anything. His main flaw is the interceptions especially in the red zone and that is just a matter of becoming more disciplined mentally but I think as the season has progressed he has made more and more bad throws probably just because he has been beaten down mentally by having such a crap team around him and getting hit all the time. Putting better talent around Jay will help A LOT. Sure it'll help a lot. It would've helped any quarterback. Cutler has done nothing to make the talent around him, which is admittedly quite bad, better. That's a huge problem. And by acquiring him we hindered our ability to surround him with good talent. You can't say that that the Bears didn't trade for Cutler expecting him to make the players around him better. Everyone here thought he would. But he sucks. I'm not giving up (like we have a choice) on the experiment but he just sucks right now. There's no sugar coating it.

Trying to play to the local population by assembling the All-Nordic team.
-
There was a stretch where we ran some decent screens. Around the San Francisco game. Or maybe it was only the San Francisco game.
-
I'd be overjoyed with good, not great. We don't have the resources or the FO competence to get Denver's Oline or Marshall/Royal.
-
I'm sure he'll be better but will he still be forcing stupid passes all the time? Probably. A la Favre. Works for me. Except much less accurate from what I've seen from Cutler this year. Even when he's going well he's underthrowing and overthrowing people all the time. I don't think we can gauge much of anything about him from this year given how bad the team is. Cutler has sucked hard this year, but it's not like we can determine that this is the "real Cutler" when he's on a team that fails on every possible level. About the only conclusion we can take right now is that Jay Cutler will suck on a sucky team. I think we can pretty accurately gauge that Cutler has many, gigantic flaws in his game that need to be rectified if he's going to be any good. Cutler was good, NOT great in Denver, with amazing offensive talent around him. And now he's terrible with terrible talent around him.
