Totally agree. It was the CFB site that got me on board but the Cubs stuff is a huge part of the reason I'm staying.

I have Rizzo, Bryant, Russell (meh) and Contreras shirseys. Debated Contreras and Javy and decided on the former. Only actual jersey is Santo because I'm poor. If I were to get another it'd be Rizzo. Also voted Contreras because he's fun as hell.

http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-01-10/sports/ct-greg-maddux-frank-thomas-haugh-spt-0110-20140110_1_larry-himes-cubs-fans-maddux-decision Sidenote: I actually ran into Frank Thomas at the Cosmo when I was in Vegas a couple weeks ago. I'm never that guy, but I kinda gave him a wave and a "big hurt!" and he acknowledged me politely. You should've tried to get some Cenegenics off him.

also the 10th anniversary of the best cubs team any of us had ever seen until a couple of years ago. I adored everything about that team. The 15-16 group (plus some success for a couple of my other teams) have left them in the dust now, but for a long time it was my favorite sports team ever.

The draft lottery is still fixed, isn't it? It seems like the league will try to have the Bulls win since the Bulls being good helps ratings a lot. I'd have more hope for that scenario if there was a surefire stud looming as a slam-dunk #1 pick. That seems to be when conspiracy fuel stuff happens - like Cleveland getting hometown boy LeBron or league-owned New Orleans being gifted Anthony Davis, or even Chicago getting hometown boy Rose with the 1.8% chance.

Where did you see this? Interested to read the article. Wouldn’t be surprised if Jake waits in to Spring at this point and wait for an injury Heyman wrote about it. He's definitely the guy that supposedly said he'd be willing to wait into the season

I don't specifically recall the Harper comparison, but I believe it happened. Folks here were (understandably) really high on Castro and made a lot of optimistic predictions that he did not fulfill. One I recall is that Castro was "guaranteed" to be the next Jeter. Something along those lines. There was at least one person saying there were only 3-5 players in baseball for whom they'd trade Starlin (or something along those lines). It got a little crazy. At one point there were 8 or 9 players projected by someone (BR maybe?) to have more WAR than Castro in the next 5 years or something and someone pointed it out. I remember agreeing with them. Oh well.

Philly wasn't winning that game without Foles outplaying Brady and Pederson outcoaching Belichick. I'm in utter shock that both happened.
-
I watch Jeopardy each day and it never ceases to amaze me how incredibly smart people can know absolutely nothing about a topic (sports) on which so many people have at least a passing knowledge. This category is an extreme example, but something like this happens probably about a third of the time they have a sports category. (For instance, someone once responded to a question like "Hack Wilson holds the single-season baseball record in this category with 191" with "home runs", and another time someone guessed "Magic Johnson" to a question about hockey assists.) Like, I'm a simpleton by the standard of any Jeopardy contestant and I'm still able to come up with answers to most of the easier questions on the topics like opera, plays, physics, or whatever, in which my knowledge base is, shall we say, limited.
-
We were probably going to sell that second rounder anyway. Their pick being top 5 this year seems wildly unlikely, so we'll most likely be getting two picks in the top 15.
-
The Bulls gave up 50 to CJ McCollum in 3 quarters last night. The tank is back on, baby.
-
I don't really understand why they can't just junk them this season. It's not like the Indians don't already have plenty of uniform options that don't include Wahoo.
-
The things TT suggested a few posts up would be a good place to start. The draft pool thing in particular is galling because it is a clear and obvious incentive to lose more if you don't think your team is good.
-
Jon Sciambi would've been good as well, but that's a good booth.
-
I don't know if Jay was asleep for the part where the NCAA was going to get sued into oblivion so backed off their own actions on PSU, but I'm taking a wild guess and saying that's why they haven't come out for blood here as they did then.
-
By a cool storyline I'm sure you meant our only chance for a competitive Super Bowl. New England will probably sleepwalk through the easiest QB schedule in playoffs history now. But, if the price was that Minnesota moment, I guess I'll take it, because that was cool.
-
I can't horsefeathering stand North Carolina. 3 key 50/50 calls or no calls in the final minute and they just happen to all go their way. On the road no less.
-
They're both sort of dumb but I don't hate either. Of the two I like Finnisher better.
-
I didn't mind Grote. He seemed to play pretty well off Coomer and (especially) Pat. Plus, the dude sold the crap out of that ad for Grossinger Auto Group.
-
Marc Stein reporting Detroit and Utah have interest in acquiring Mirotic and Bulls are determined to get a 1st-rounder for him.
-
I really wanted Georgia to win, but Tua was a hell of a lot of fun to watch. Hopefully he continues to be so next year, maybe Alabama games won't be so soul-crushing.
-
Really? To where? Whoever is willing to bilk their taxpayers into paying for a palace like Atlanta's. Supposedly BoA Stadium is "outdated" at 20 years old.
-
If Carolina can't win a playoff game in which Cam Newton leads the offense to 26 points on top of making 2 perfect TD throws (that his cadre of no-name receivers failed to catch), then they're just never going to win it all. The good news is that there's a 50/50 chance the next owner moves the team in 2 years, so maybe I won't have to care anymore after that.
-
Bonzie Colson having surgery today on his fractured foot and will be out through February. ND still clocked NC State last night (with Matt Farrell also going down in the game, with a sprained ankle), but this is going to be a weird year.

Hey, now everyone in the division has a competitive balance pick
