  1. They'd make the room for Pujols (and it really wouldn't be hard for the Cubs to do so at all). And really, how many huge contracts are they "suffering" under after this year? Oh, right...just one.
  2. Well, that's barftastic. PETCOTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
  3. This team might have dynasty potential. There's just way too much talent coming back from injury, Ryan Grant, Nick Barnett, Jermichael Finley all come to mind. It's going to be pretty disappointing if we do not achieve similar results next year. Of course what would be more disappointing is if this is the last football game we see for a while. Yep. They have tons of young talent and can draft. Thankfully the NFL can be so unpredictable and the parity makes it tough to maintain a dynasty. I'm not expecting them to pull of multiple SB wins, but they're definitely going to be the team to beat in the division for a good long while. Them winning last night was bad enough, but they did it with a very young and very talented team that wasn't even at full strength for most of the season. In short...this is really going to [expletive] suck for a while for Bears fans.
  4. Exactly, none of them are any good. PRINCE, MOTHERFUCKERS.
  5. "So low?" [expletive] the hell are you talking about?
  6. Why the [expletive] would anyone be furious over this?
  7. Snitches get stitches. [expletive] him.
  8. He also made two TD throws (Knox looked like he was in but was ruled out at the 1 and they ran it in the next play) that Cutler would have had to account for. Plus, Cutler is more than capable of throwing his own pick sixes. You really think a healthy Cutler doesn't give them a better chance to win the rest of that game over Hanie even with how crappy he looked in the first?
  9. You're drastically underestimating the number of Cubs fans that can still get whipped into a frenzy over Bartman.
  10. Sounds like the type of job he can mostly handle from home. If he hadn't been offered something like this I doubt you would have seen him involved in baseball this soon.
  11. So even if Otto is subsequently let go you still won't listen? Wow, that's a lot of angst over a radio color man decision. Ron Santo being there was enough for me to not listen to Cubs games on WGN. Your brain is weird. Seriously? I can't imagine it was that unpopular an opinion. I listened on the radio when I did because I had no other choice, but I never thought Ron was adding anything to the broadcast with his incoherent nonsense. Is that ok to say? Sure. It's definitely a bit of revisionist history with all of the people acting like they loved Ron's career as a broadcaster. There's nothing wrong with people separating their appreciation of Ron the player/Cubs fan/person and Ron the announcer. Personally, I got a kick out of listening to him from time to time, but more often than not I would find myself tuning out because he was just SO bad.
  12. Not true.
  13. There was a problem. He didn't "mail it in." This isn't complicated.
  14. Yes, but then he decided to quit and force the Red Sox to trade him or give him an extension. But you said his numbers were just inflated by his performance earlier in the season. They weren't.
  15. I know we're not. I just don't see why it's a big deal. You're talking about sports fan decisions that are generally made by kids under the age of 10. They don't think in terms of "I can't root for the Packers, they're rivals to the Bears, and these other teams I picked are in Chicago!!!!". It's odd.
  16. I just assumed he was white with a name that awful and snobby.
  17. Andy, we're not talking about your fandom.
  18. Not everybody is close enough to a big city to root for all its teams, not everybody stays in the same spot throughout their childhood, and not everybody has parents who have sports allegiances to pass down. Weird things happen when young kids basically have to pick their own teams. Nobody cares about them. If people are weirdos and root for teams all over the place, who the [expletive] cares. That said, even that makes more sense than rooting for all of your teams from one city and then having one team stand out from the rest, AND that team is such a hated rival of the city all of your other teams play in. Again, think of someone rooting for NYC and Philly teams. It's madness, and quite possibly some intriguing form of schizophrenia.
  19. Flames, if you met someone who was a fan of the Rangers/Knicks/Giants...and the Phillies, would you think it was odd?
  20. I forget that not everyone blocks images. It's still really weird.
