  1. Nobody was supporting the idea of signing Dye for a fulltime role. It was an interesting idea in terms of a platoon with Fukudome and as a bat off the bench given his good numbers against lefties throughout his career, which continued through last year.
  2. As opposed to the "steroid-crazed" players of the last several decades?
  3. Nice. Here's hoping Nady rebounds form his surgery, and that he wasn't too expensive.
  4. Right, he's not pulling the melodramatic, self-righteous crap we've been seeing too many ex-players and baseball writers pull out of their asses lately.
  5. It's always amusing how the anti-steroids fanatics are mum when it comes to players taking speed.
  6. You do realize the difference between people actually hating Sandberg and simply not wanting him to manage the team, right?
  7. "Drug-crazed players of today" is hilarious because the players of today probably don't hand a candle to the drinking/snorting/dropping/popping/smoking antics of decades past.
  8. Really wouldn't have a problem with any of those guys so long as it's a smart deal and they're relegated to bench/backup/platoon roles.
  9. DON'T QUESTION DA BUM WHEN IT COMES TO NEW ORLEANS. Mardis Gras begins when they start getting ready for the holiday season, just like how Christmas officially begins whenever the hell companies start booking Christmas rates and advertising Christmas sales and putting up decorations. YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.
  10. It's so much fun watching Noah and Rose.
  11. If you have the attention span, you should read this article by Posnanski. Iron Fisk Good luck. Wow. Fantastic article.
  12. I don't think Ernie gets it. People are raving lunatics and wouldn't forgive him. Yeah, hence my question. Banks' intentions seem good and he's not coming at this like the usual morons, but there's simply no logical reason (from Sosa's POV) for Sammy to pull a McGwire.
  13. Is there really any point?
  14. Haiti beats Katrina. GEAUX COLTS.
  15. Colts - 30 Saints - 24
  16. The guy at the end of the clip sounds like he's about to storm onto the field and clock Favre right then and there.
  17. Good night, sweet cheering prince.
  18. "Two killer QB's?" Yeah, Brees is really good, but to sum it up like that is really understating that 1 of the QB's in that equation is Peyton [expletive] Manning.
  19. Yes. The newspaper industry is indeed desperate for revenue.
  20. Then it was merciful whoosh for everyone except Truffle and Roast.
  21. So if you don't think they are planning on firing him in a year why do you think he's a lame duck and that this is why nobody wants to come here? The question seems to be stability, and the only question of stability is whether or not it's realistic for them to keep their job past next season. I can't imagine any NFL coach thinking he couldn't do a good enough job to help the Bears play better next year and thus everybody keep their jobs. I do think they don't like what they hear from Lovie about what he expects them to do -ie. get off the bus running the ball, and let my defense determine our fate. He's a lame duck in that they're potentially just running out the clock and making what effectively amount to superficial changes to allow them to do so. I've got a sneaking suspicion that the Bears have no intention but to sign up whatever leftovers and retreads they can have on the cheap so that they can easily be shuffled out the door with Lovie if need be. Or you'll just see some 2-year-contracts. I don't even think it's necessarily even so much coaches staying away from the Bears as the Bears are staying away from anyone they have to pay well to sign up until Lovie is gone.
  22. Oh, I don't think they're even planning on firing Lovie after next year. I think they fully intend to just ride his contract out.
  23. I don't know, I think you probably just have more confidence in how the Bears will handle this than I do (and maybe more than a lot of the people offered the jobs).
