    I hate admitting this but I've just never liked deep dish. I don't necessarily dislike it, and I will eat it if served to me, but I would never choose to order deep dish pizza on my own. Edit: But since I'm a loyal chicagoan, I will fight to the death for it. I'll always pick a good NY/New Haven-style slice in the great pizza wars.

    it is a rare thing for me, and even then i'm sick of it before the end of the meal. For me, the big thing is how much I hate it as leftovers. I'm the kind of slob that loves a good cold pizza, and Pequod's was the only place that had a deep dish that I could tolerate either cold or reheated, and even that wasn't so great. Real Chicago style deep dish just seems too chewy and rubbery unless I was willing to bake it in the oven forever, and usually it would still end up being too mushy or soup-y. Leftover pizza should either be delicious cold or require only minimal reheating; deep dish I only like when it's freshly made (even delivery was usually a letdown), and like you said, after a slice or two I'm over it.

    I miss everything about Chicago except for the pizza. Well, the thin crust was great, but I got burned out on Chicago deep dish real fast.

    Hell yeah, brisket nachos. Deep dish pizza can go eat a dick.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Let's face it: the brisket is a MUCH better prize.

    Well, now I'm curious as to what you think his best season was.

    not a lot of vaginas in D.C.? The Digusting Baseball Chin is all the rage.

    As a Bear? It's pretty much either his best or second best season.

    Famous bloody-handed murderer Mark Nomar with his distinctive vagina-chin.

    And I think it's hugely optimistic to think that Cutler is likely to repeat or improve on what was arguably his best season as a Bear.

    You're still putting too much stock into that. "Almost won" is just the other side of the same coin as "almost lost." It's not like this is a significantly younger team with a bunch of potential; it's still mostly a collection of spare parts, older players and some scattered younger players they're praying can pan out and/or stay healthy. I agree it's a better team, but at best they've likely gone from bad to OK if enough people stay healthy. i'd say it's more accurate to say it's the older players that are scattered. a few older guys on offense but the defense is very young. The defense can be old, young or purple; it's probably only going to be a bit better than last year's, and last year's was simply an improvement from godawful. It's trending in the right direction, but I think it's going to take another solid offseason, or maybe even two, and there's little reason to think it's going to take a big jump this season. Basically both the offense and the defense look to be middle of the pack at best if they stay healthy. Special teams, I have no idea, and don't really care.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    yes, but they were competitive. You're still putting too much stock into that. "Almost won" is just the other side of the same coin as "almost lost."

    That's not how it works.

    As it's been pointed out, looking it in terms of games they "almost won" or "should have won" is a mostly faulty approach. Ultimately the Bears played a lot of very close games last year, but that's not necessarily a good thing, win or lose. yes, but we aren't judging their place in last year's mix, we're trying to predict how good they'll be this year. if they got even a little bit better, they could be a playoff team. But that's the faulty way to look at it; you're basically the games they barely lost they should have won, yet the games they barely won are, what, not in question at all? They were a very mediocre team last year, which is what so many close wins and losses points more clearly at than the idea that they were "almost a good team" and being just a little better probably isn't going to make much of a difference.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    They were very far from 10-6 and fox is still the coach. They were highly competitive, i mean, almost won or did win, every game that Cutler started and finished except the second vikings game.

    Put on some horsefeathering socks.

    You can add the Chargers, Raiders, and Skins to that craptacular mix. I have a lot of trouble seeing how they lose more than 3 games. 2 to go. It was probably like 1983 or something the last time a QB took that many helmet-to-helmet shots without gaining a single penalty yard out of it. Thanks, NFL. The repeated and blatant and, of course, uncalled, headhunting last night kind of epitomized why I've been liking football less and less over the last few years. But thank horsefeathering god they managed to call Trai Turner for unsportsmanlike conduct; children watching could have been scarred by seeing a man jump up and down. Great priorities, NFL.

    I predict this leads to, at least, 4 more babies.
