  1. what happens to USC when we lose to a fultz-less washington team tonight?
  2. All American firsts in UCL quarter final history. what do you mean
  3. Reffing shenanigans or was that Barca comeback legit? That was Man city/qpr level
  4. Gooney get out of your NY bubble and realize it's not just the fans that hate Cutler it's the people in the building too. It might be irrational but the Cutler ship has sailed.
  5. The likeliest outcome to me is Glennon is middling andwe have a young, drafted QB that gets some spot work next season. Then you're picking in the top half of the first round next year and aggressively in on Darnold, Rosen, Allen, and whoever emerges next season in college. Those guys will probably grade out higher than any QB in this draft.
  6. The thin tail positive outcome is Glennon becomes a guy you can build a contender around. Every other outcome dictates drafting a QB early this season and next. Look at Houston going after Romo despite that awful Osweiler deal. Glennon only blocks a young draft pick by being great.
  7. He also said in that same chat that Russell's ceiling is MVP caliber and he expects the bat to really improve
  8. Klaw douchey tendencies are more generalized than specific He did take " I don't remember asking for your opinion" out of his Twitter bio so maybe he is getting more self aware?
  9. Letting Alshon walk turns maybe an average unit into a huge hole for a team lacking in overall talent and more cap space than they can spend on good players Stupid to let him walk
  10. Valentines stroke is textbook why was he buried on the bench
  11. WE OWN THE CAVS HOIBALL 4 LYFE
  12. I'm irrationally angry that rondo is the first pg off the bench and not Payne already
  13. So they were probably asking for Brown and some combination of Smart, Bradley and Crowder? I'm pretty sure Boston would've given any 3 of those 4 guys for Butler if the Nets picks weren't included in any way. Find that tweet hard to believe tbh.
  14. Literally have never heard of this Joffrey goon and I follow the NBA p closely Is he good? Also McDermott is a pretty hard bust but no way he doesn't latch on somewhere and do damage in he right scheme
  15. Payne was in Joffreys Kingsguard right?
  16. I'm in the blow it up camp but if this FO is allowed to trade Butler that means they're going to steer at least the first couple years of the rebuild which is scary.
  17. i recently learned that verducci and @thekapman are both coming out with insider type books on the cubs rebuild and 2016 soon
  18. Heard on the radio yday that PFF thinks alshon is going to hit the open market but I can't find the article Thatd create a huge hole at WR
  19. Whoa Chicago unloads basketball superstar: https://nyti.ms/2jNmDsH
  20. He's a very good prospect, but you're basically hoping and praying he becomes Placido Polanco. That's no insult, Polanco was very good for a number of years, but that's not the hopes and dreams of someone in the Top 5 of all of baseball. He's high risk of being a second baseman, he had a .775 OPS at High A, and his K rate is high for someone who isn't going to slug like someone like Russell. You don't even really need something to collapse for Torres to be a non-descript major leaguer, just the attrition of his production at the 2 levels he needs to ascend through would do it. Is Law a ceiling fetishist as you mentioned? Because he's been indicating a very high ceiling on Torres basically ever since finishing up the season (Jeter comparisons, saying he has cornerstone/superstar potential, etc)
  21. I respect your stubborn desire to keep building a high floor low ceiling playoff team but the 2010 team had 4 players under contract when they added on: Rose, Noah, Deng, Taj, 3 of them future all-stars, all of them in their early to mid-20's. Ideally they would have added a star with the cap space that they had (enough for about 1.75 max contracts), but they were a team you could build a quasi contender around acquiring some good role players. This team is Jimmy Butler, a 35 year old version of Dwyane Wade, and a bunch of garbage (assuming Taj doesn't resign). McDermott is ok, Lopez is ok, you *might* get one good player out of Grant/Valentine/Portis, might. This isn't a team that needs a few pieces to be a contender. Maybe to be respectable 2nd round out in a weak conference, which I think you are on record saying you are ok with. But my point is, the 2010 offseason Bulls and the 2017 offseason Bulls are in completely different places. what is so watchable about this current iteration of the bulls anyway? butler's great but he's a throwback to the ISO ball era of Kobe and Jordan but not as good. wade is just old man game at this point. the rest of the team is garbage to middling. i don't view a bad team deliberately bottoming out as being inherently less entertaining than whatever it is the bulls are right now.
  22. I'd hire hinkie and have him do a teardown tbh
  23. I see that klaw still gets in inane fights with random people on twitter
  24. Kyle shanahan is a p badass playcaller
  25. Can someone smarter than me explain why that fumble recovery was brought out to the 20?
