    ZAM. Good win. Good MNF. Jay and Earl rocked it.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    BOOM.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    BAM.

    Don't worry; your Patriots will bounce back. Hahah u mad? Well, the irony of that post is pretty staggering.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Nope but the momentum is against us the crowd is alive and the offense hasn't put together a good drive since the first one of the game. OK, erik.

    Forte costs us 14 points and the bears defense stopped working. These are inexcusable mistakes in such a big game and might give us a critical hit to our playoff hopes. All 5 [expletive] reviews tonight have gone against us. All of the critical ones should have.

    Roooooooooooooooooobbie.

    What the [expletive] was that?
  12. Sammy Sofa
    how can you bring back carimi at right tackle when louis is playing like a [expletive] tank? gotta move him to the left side. Yeah, I have no idea how the [expletive] Louis is doing what he's doing, but he's doing it.

    That's a weird-ass list. I can only assume all of the Wang results were screwed up porn searches.

    It feels almost wrong to see the OL actually functioning.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    ALL HAIL POJULS.

    It's not that anyone is opposed to Greg as the PC so much as the understanding that it's very unlikely he'd ever take an everyday role like that.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Again with the pro-rape posts.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Fixed. whichever. Yup.

    Even paying Pujols $30 million a year doesn't automatically kill their flexibility to change and improve the team down the line. Again, this is a big market team that can handle having a $130-$150 million payroll and ideally could handle an even higher one down the road. It's not an either/or proposition. Never said it was. But putting 20-25% of your payroll into one player will certainly limit your flexibility to an extent. Sure, to a relative extent. So will paying one $27 million a year, or $25 million, or even $20 million. That said, however, none of us know what the Cubs' financial situation will be 5+ years from now. Personally, I don't see them decreasing the payroll or even maintaining the current one. Like I said, if they're at a point 5-10 years from now where they cannot maintain a payroll at or above $130 million then they've failed. Or something catastrophic has happened to the Ricketts and/or their money. And yes, putting 20% of your payroll sounds crippling when you have a payroll of, say, $60 million, but if you're a big market team like the Cubs that can and should maintain a payroll around $150 million then that still leaves you a ton of room to work with. We're not talking about the situation of the last 5 years where you had the impending sale throwing limiting everything money-wise after the big Soriano spending spree and a bad FO behind it.

    Maybe the other teams didn't report it yet. Why would he pull his name just from the Red Sox? Or maybe Boston is a bad fit for him and he decided not to waste his time or theirs. It is well known that his daughters go to college in the DFW area and that he just built a house. He has a good thing going so I am sure there will be, as there always is, some family consideration. But if he decided he didn't want to manage, he would have pulled the plug entirely, which he hasn't done. How would he know it's a bad fit without a interview? Why would Chicago be better for his family? Because Chicago is great and Boston sucks balls, obviously.

    He has learned to like winning? Sure, he might have a taste for blood and that's now all he craves, but I think him having already won a couple WS actually makes him more likely to go to a non-immediate contender than someone like Fielder. This isn't a LeBron/ARod-type situation, so sky's probably pretty much the limit so long as the money is right.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    WHAT?!?! But you can't construct a team with over $100 million left over for the payroll! Impossible!!!
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Yes I read the entire thing. The Cubs, Bears, and Sox are not equitable because the public has an ownership stake in the Bears and Sox venues. 1) You missed the finer points of those comparisons 2) that was far from the only thing he discussed I did not miss anything, I chose not address the finer points because the larger point renders them moot and I don't really have the time. The finer points are misleading and that's an understatement. Cub fans pay more taxes because there are more of them staying in hotels? Why are you opposed to this?
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Why is going to a WS-ready team going to be a dealbreaker priority for Pujols? He's already won two.
