    So does he actually mean "homophobic?" Or was he trying to say "homoerotic?" Either way...delightful.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    OK, now I like where this is going.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    No, it won't. The Cubs' goal is to have their own network; that would be their goal even if everyone at Comcast was on their knees every time they mentioned the team. If the Cubs leave CSN it's to make more money, not because Chuck Garfien is making them cry themselves to sleep every night with his mean, mean words.

    He's just driving past each one clicking scissors like that dude from The Warriors with the bottles.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    That team also did not make the playoffs.

    Flashing Letterman got me That was Drew, not Diaz.

    The point is that your theory of a nefarious effort to insult the Cubs on-air to drive fans to the Sox doesn't really make much sense given that the Cubs' owners own a bug chunk of the network. Reinsdorf can't just do whatever he wants because he owns a 40% stake (nevermind that he seemingly is doing nothing to stop the network from insulting his own teams...UNLESS THAT'S PART OF HIS PLAN).

    Hahahahahah!

    Don't make fun of the Cubs?!? THEY DOCK YA!!!

    tom: pleeeease, jerry, please let the cubs' comeback win lead sportsnet central tonight. jerry: never. [to producer] move the cubs highlights to after the first commercial. and change all the graphics to read "scrubs." tom: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO The whole things plays out like Paul Newman meeting Tim Robbins in The Hudsucker Proxy.

    His dome would split it in two.

    Though the image of a diabolical, cigar-chomping, robber baron-esque Reinsdorf lording over #poorTomRicketts in the CSN boardroom is pretty hilarious.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    OK, again, you realize the Ricketts have a 20% stake in the network, right?
  14. Sammy Sofa
    But it's not the same; the Cubs owners are also significantly invested in Comcast as well. Reinsdorf having a 40% stake to the Ricketts' 20% doesn't make him some kind of overlord that the station is catering to; if this was an actual issue and the Ricketts wanted it knocked off it would stop. The reality is it's just sports reporters/hosts/commentators/analysts/whatever you want to call them making fun of bad teams. They were taking just as many "shots" at the White Sox; I can't even count the number of times they started a White Sox segment with some variation of "just when you thought things couldn't get any worse..." as often as they did the same sort of thing with the Cubs. Bottom line, Comcast isn't being used as a tool to "drive people away" from the Cubs to the Sox, and even if it was that would be a terrible plan that likely would accomplish squat.

    Again, the talking heads on CSN "mock" all of the Chicago teams when they lose/are bad. You keep talking like they're singling out the Cubs, but they're not. And there's presentation of being objective or unbiased when you're talking about commentators/analysts; it's their job to give their opinion.

    That report was exactly what started the discussion about his injury on the Jay Cutler Show yesterday. Cutler immediately dismissed it and started all that negative talk. But then again Jay was very non-committal about playing in the Lions game the week leading up to it, but yesterday on the show he pretty much implied that he knew he was going to be back for that game during the bye week. The only conclusion is the organization is pushing Jay to come back, knowing he isn't ready, so he will look bad and it will help justify not bringing him back. It's ridiculous how he's screwed PR-wise regardless of what he chooses/can do.

    Right, Buxton is the one with the surest bet to become an all-star to me. Pretty much. I'm loving Bryant, and I hope to God Baez pans out, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it's kinda rough for him. I'll be stunned if Buxton isn't kicking 18 kinds of ass.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Buxton/Sano or Almora/Bryant? You have to choose a pair. Buxton/Sano Almora/Baez or Buxton/Sano? Buxton/Sano. Without a second thought against both pairs.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    I feel the same. It shows that he bases his decision on objectively derived stats rather than conventional wisdom. Yeah; while I don't necessarily agree with his decision, it's refreshing to see him spell out those kinds of reasons as to why he made his decision.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    So? He's just as likely to take one back as he is to run backwards and get stopped at the 5 yard line. Either way there's 0 time on the clock left after the play. Perhaps your concern is that Hester fumbles and the Ravens return it for a score but it's such an unlikely occurance it shouldn't factor into the decision to give it to Hester. No, my concern is he actually screws up and they end up with a safety as opposed to fumbling. It should be painfully obvious he's much more likely to run backwards or try something stupidly cute than to actually "take one back." Couple that with the slop and I have no problem to just wait for OT. He's not the elite player he was, plus he's an idiot.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Hester is a guy who is nearly as notorious for screwing up a return as he is doing amazing things with them, so I really don't have a problem not doing something that risky when it's tied. The guy has way too much of a history of moving backwards.

    Is there a belief she's good looking in any setting? Back in her "crazy" days in the mid-90's.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    What does this even mean.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    It's stunning to me the sheer number of people who claim to be Bears fans and who have no [expletive] clue how old McCown is.

    Old man balls.
