    Poles has no limitations next offseason, a bounty of resources to get it correct, if there isn't marked improvement on both sides of ball next season. He, without question, should be removed because, if he cannot get it right with that number of resources, he'll never get it right. That's the endless Bears cycle.

    It's never a surprise when the Cubs fall short.

    WAY too late to worry about that.

    what pleasure do you derive from these criminal parasite owners allocating capital efficiently Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk At a minimum it would be funny to watch a criminal parasite think he can dominate the league by parachuting in and tossing money at whatever suits his fancy only to have it fail, but bigger picture it'd be reassuring to spend time following a sport that doesn't ultimately boil down to purely being the ownership olympics. It'd be one thing if Cohen were trading for a bunch of pre-arb players and giving them 12 year extensions or otherwise campaigning to reform the player salary structure, but in the same way I'm not concerned about the marginal P&L of owners I'm also not terribly motivated by the top percentile of the player pool getting marginally more money thanks to his efforts.

    That's exactly what Fields will tell himself as he falls asleep every night of his inevitably shortened, doomed to be stuck behind a Bears OL NFL career.

    If they end up missing the playoffs or getting bounced early, spending like lunatics and doing that is objectively 100000000000000% cooler and more entertaining than being a bunch of cheap weenie bitches who likely end doing the same thing at best, and who will also still just jack up tickets and other attendance costs anyway.

    Hah-ha! Yeah, stupid team spending all that horsefeathering stashed away rich scum money! Those IDIOTS.

    The only thing the Cubs would pay for him right now is $20 in Bison Bux for how perfect this is a reason for them to act like it's so smart for them to NOT sign him.

    I mean, this kinda sounds pretty awesome.

    That'll mainly be because the world's population will have been reduced to 5% of what it is now by the time that happens.

    Loved him in Tron.

    Dammit, I misplaced that cool "who gives a horsefeathers" gif.

    I’m not sure I watched a full game start to finish in 2022. I’m fairly certain I have not watched 75% of a full game since ~2018? 2019 for me. Since then I've MAYBE cumulatively seen about 6-7 innings.

    They could easily take that kind of hit if they needed to; other big market teams do it. People bitched and moaned about Heyward's contract for the past 6 years, so I guess....those people? And another long-term dud contract just gives Hoyer/Ricketts another excuse never to spend money again Yes, it's a made up problem by the owners.

    Does Hoyer really have a choice? Ricketts is the owner and doesn't have to do anything. Jed... Well, that's kind of his job. I honestly think there's at least a part of them that is considering cancelling the convention. They're going to get absolutely destroyed by the fans and the media. They'll probably cancel it and say it's due to rising COVID/flu/whatever cases, and then keep pumping money into Far Right pockets at the same time.

    Yeah, they're completely full of horsefeathers. Those cheap ghouls don't want him to spend a dime more than they've decided he "should," but they know the bulk of the fanbase is a bunch of stupid meatheads that will lap up any kind of rhetoric that sounds even remotely like, "well, we tried." TL;DR version: this is the Ricketts to Jed while they're dropping quotes about wanting to spend:

    Seems like a bunch of dumb horsefeathers all ping-ponging off of each other. we'll never get it, but i'd love to hear theo's candid thoughts on all this Just get him drunk. You know he's the type.

    Yep, the reports that came out last week plus the Crane interview leave it pretty obvious. This is a franchise that has been cautious and calculated about setting expectations about individual offseasons and using vague statements like 'the money will be there when needed' to describe their future payrolls. The narrative has changed completely now based on the things they've said. They had to know that they were dramatically raising fan expectations. And now instead of 90% ownership blame, 10% FO blame (on twitter at least), its reversed. seems like they know jed is a wuss and thought it would be easy to call his bluff and shift the blame Seems like a bunch of dumb fucks all ping-ponging off of each other.
