This is actually probably the most I've ever looked forward to the upcoming season; it cannot get here fast enough. That I can now root for this team as a "regular" baseball team (albeit as the defending champs) minus all of the previous baggage is something I never get tired of realizing.

Sure, but the Bears have descended into Browns-land. Not even close. Even Browns fans had a time when the Browns as we know them were just a new thing for them. Cubs fans in 1945 had no idea what they were in store for. You get to be a witness to the birth of history, sulley. Savor it.

You spend the 3rd pick in the draft on an actual impact player that will play and produce in 2017 (not a QB), bring back alshon and cutler and a good chunk of the injured players plus a FA or two and you could have a respectable 2017 season. Being 3-13 this year doesn't mean they have to be bad in 2017. This is the NFL. Exactly this. Sure, but the Bears have descended into Browns-land.

Unfortunately the Bears are faithfully the cliche "doing the same things over and over and over again and expecting different results" definition of insanity. https://youtu.be/WD73a1trdJ0

3-13 they already suck hard. any qb that tried to step in for him with this garbage team was decimated and/or threw 1,000 picks. They're gonna suck next season, too; old ass, crappy Cutler probably nets them MAYBE 2-3 more wins, barring the miracle he doesn't break yet again. I'm rooting for debacle Bears. Couldn't happen to a more deserving organization. Plus maybe it drives a few McCaskeys into the grave.

The Bills' GM's PC yesterday was just a magnificent debacle: https://deadspin.com/bills-gms-press-conference-really-couldnt-have-gone-muc-1790691580

Counterpoint: Cutler is a broken dildo, and since the Bears are a lock to be garbage next year (DON'T DENY THIS), the least they could do is grant us the minor enjoyment of Cutler getting the boot. Plus if you're gonna suck, suck hard.

That's about the 92nd time that article has been written in the last 2 months.

Top 108 Moments for the 2016 Cubs (Now complete!)

My boner after watching these clips disagrees. Wait. NO. -
They could just replace him with a Boers soundboard and nobody would be able to tell the difference.

Good god. He might as well be the poster boy for my anti-shorts crusade.

Christmas Eve: Washington Football Team @ Bears

The Bears suck at VR, too. -
Go with Vlad. AL MVP, 9 All-Star games, 2500 hits, 450 HR, Lifetime 140 OPS+, 10 100+ RBI years. Admittedly, his 59.3 WAR is on the lower end of HOFers, but the dude could mash and was so much fun to watch. Throughout his career my gut always told me this guy was a HOFer, so I'm going with it. It came down to picking between him and Walker with my final vote. I went with Walker, even though it felt so, so wrong.

Hell, who voted for Manny and seemingly not any of the other big names?

I'm not really penalizing steroid users, maybe if it was a decision between 2 guys and one was admitted user it would tip the scales the other way, but if I was penalizing more, Sheffield and Sosa are the two guys that I'm not convinced are HOFers if healthy. Sheffield had HOF talent and I think had a HOF worthy career at the plate. Obviously his defense was bad most of his career which should be a knock against him. But the reason I'm not convinced he's a HOFer without steroids is because IIRC he could not stay healthy for a majority of his 20's and then all the sudden from age 28-38 he played at least 130 games every year. We don't know when he started taking steroids but he admitted to taking them in his 30s so you can make a link. Sosa we don't need to go into great detail about. He had a lot of talent but holes in his game until he took off and became one of the games prolific players for a 6-8 year stretch. Sammy's in the top 10 HR hitters of all time. Call it simplistic, call it meatball-y, but that alone should be more than enough.

Who the horsefeathers voted for Lee Smith? It's not the Hall of horsefeathering Awesome Hair.

My head said no, but my heart wouldn't allow me to leave him off my ballot. Same here, though I can't go back and add him because of SHAM POLL.

I can't change my votes? SHAM POLL.

[expletive], I'm so torn on Vlad.

Agreed; I remember even thinking at the time that the narrative of him being overused seemed pretty ridiculous. I mean, if the guy can't handle that workload in those circumstances, then he's not really worth what it would take to sign him long term. Hell, it was disappointing that he couldn't even be used liked the rented player he was given how many times he fucked up.

He's kinda got Neifi-butt.

Shame on the NFL media guy for filming in portrait.
