    Do you mean his son?

    No, they don't. There's no standout #1, and I'd have no problem adding one, but I'm confident that given the talent of the QB, a stronger OL and a more well-rounded running threat would make the receivers the Bears already have look a LOT better.

    I don't understand this. We have 99% of 37 million to spend. Why not spend a little to improve your team at WR. I want to tie up Angelo and make him watch all his WRs routes in the Patriots and Packers (playoff) game on a loop. I actually kind of like the receivers we have, its just we need that marquee guy, not some undrafted FA. He might work out just fine but based on the odds, he probably won't. I'd be pretty damn happy with the receivers as is if they were using that money to better shore up the OL and the running game.

    My bad. I will now sing "Bear Down, Chicago Bears" at the top of my lungs with extra emphasis on the "You're the pride & joy of Illinois" part in celebration of this move that will undoubtedly put us over the top. You're kidding, right? The only one engaging in ridiculous hyperbole over this guy is you.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Step correct next time, hoss.

    Still doesn't make any sense. In no way does Old Style's comment even remotely hint at "Go Cubs Go" being the only way people should celebrate a win. And yes, the "Chicken Dance" complaint is still totally redundant, as is pointing out that a song is cheesy when it was obviously written to be cheesy. Congratulations, you can recognize the painfully obvious. Water is also wet and fire is hot.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    So then what was the point of the "Chicken Dance" comparison? You dropped that on us as if people were defending the quality of "Go Cubs Go." Or the post I quoted where you're seemingly saying that people are arguing the "Go Cubs Go" is the only way people can or should celebrate after a win? You're countering points that nobody has made.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    I say 12.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    So we'll chalk that up there with "Derwood thinks people are saying 'Go Cubs Go' is actually a good song" on the "things Derwood has completely made up"-pile from this thread.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    It says he was a "prize of the undrafted class." Context, man.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, I'd totally be on board with that.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Ugh, "Cubby."
  13. Sammy Sofa
    dude enough with the [expletive] lahair, he was never a highly touted prospect. he made it to #16 on the [expletive] mariners' top 30 list. I like that he slipped DuBois in there, too.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    I hear you. I do. I understand your point. But I think you're lying to yourself if you say you truly don't care how your team is perceived. And as for Philly and Boston, well, they have a comeback to those jeers now don't they? I guess? And no, I really don't care if there are people out there who don't like the Cubs and their fans. That's an inherent part of fandom. It's not like Bears fans are going to suddenly be quiet and cowed towards Packers fans if the Cheeseheads bring up last season. I really don't see how winning a WS makes something that you apparently think is unbearable and drives you into a rage suddenly into something you just shrug off and don't care about. If anything, a WS win would just intensify the anti-Cubs sentiment. And how long is a "comeback" good for? OK, so they win a WS. But then they don't win the year after that. Or the year after that. Is there some threshold that is crossed in terms of time away from the WS win that you start flipping out again? It just seems like a lot of stress over something I have zero control over. Sure, I'll get a bit heated and talk [expletive] with opposing fans sometimes, but it's nothing that sticks with me.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    "Embracing" it is weird, but so is getting furious. Who cares what other fans think of the Cubs fans and the Cubs themselves? Do people really think a WS win would change the mind of people who enjoy mocking the Cubs and their fans? "Man, I thought their fans were and dumb and only went to the games to get drunk, but boy, that WS win sure proved me wrong!" Did people stop making fun of and hating Philly fans after the Phillies won their last WS? How about Boston fans? Of course not.

    Personally, I can't stand it because it's paced like a funeral dirge, I can't stand Vedder's muttered crooning, and it's filled with some really torturous and badly written lyrics. "Go Cubs Go" is very cheesy and simplistic, but it at least works as a song, especially as one people can sing along to. Vedder's song only "works" that way just because of the chorus.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Doesn't matter. Too many of the fewer teams can spare better packages than what the Cubs can offer. The Cubs have a much better chance pursuing the money route, since they potentially have more money to spend than almost any other team in baseball.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    To be fair, he said they "MAY not be in contention for 5 years."
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Other teams have more prospects. Trading for Jimenez would be more of a challenge than signing Wilson, I think. Agreed. I much prefer the idea of trying to sign Wilson instead of trading Jimenez. I was just countering WSR's apparent conclusion that the Cubs have a better chance of getting Jiminez via trade as opposed to signing Wilson.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Right, and other teams could trade for Jimenez. Or the Rockies decide not to move him now. Your point?
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Hopefully still pitching for the Cubs and kicking ass.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    You need money to sign a FA. The Cubs have money. If they want to sign Wilson they can. The end.

    Guys, I just found something INCREDIBLY embarrassing. In 2008 the Reds finished 5th of 6 in the NL Central with a miserable 74-88 record, yet here is a video of ACTUAL CELEBRATION during that season after a walkoff win. Please note the excessive cheering and jubilation, the humiliating fireworks, some kind of embarrassing song playing in the background AND the video scroll lit up to say "WE WIN!!!" In fact, just the very existence of this celebratory video is a horrible blow to the dignity of Reds fans everywhere. I can only imagine and hope that the Cleveland Indians fans in attendance properly chastised the Reds fans for their embarrassing behavior.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    I'm pretty sure that if I go see any MLB team win a game at home there's going to be some kind of celebration for the fans at the end. Hell, a lot of them involve fancy video screens and fireworks and mascots and the like regardless of how bad the team is overall, so I think the Cubs are pretty safe in there "some people are singing and sort of dancing, kinda"-routine. Y'know, if you're REALLY worried about being embarrassed.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Why should any of us care what a Reds fan thinks about Cubs fans?
