  1. I feel like they should rename Soldier Field using this quote. It's Bear fandom in a nutshell.
  2. If it took you more than 31 guesses, well then you’re dumber than I thought.
  3. Eh it's kind of hard to judge off a headline. Those legit both sound like headlines old deadspin would have made.
  4. Being signed by the Bears.
  5. The athletes chipping in is cool and good, but the onus is really on the horsefeathering owners to do the right thing.
  6. 2021 Theo: "Well, we didn't get a chance to see what the 2020 team could do, which was still really just the 2019 team, and the Ricketts lost some couch change thanks to the market upheaval, so that's why we've spent -$96,000,000 for 2021!"
  7. I feel like Jack McCoy should be screaming some kind of objection over including any mention of how 25-year old Kimbrel did.
  8. Unpaid internships are a horsefeathering sham at this point.
  9. That's disgusting, but awesome.
  10. Though jersey's Dinelson's Lament-themed thread title would have been great.
  11. https://www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2020-02-27/cubs-channel-that-fans-can-t-see-symbolizes-sports-network-woes? Once again:
  12. Live TV is for suckers. JOIN ME IN THE FOREVER PAST.
  13. AKA preemptive damage control.
  14. The only overseas signing the FO could afford.
  15. It would be magnificent if this somehow completely blew up in their faces.
  16. "As opposed to before, when my jersey would horribly smile back."
  17. What's our role then? Just innocent viewers who happen to increasingly be funding this stuff? If the owners have a massive essentially endless supply of players and their customers most value payroll efficiency, $/WAR, and The Future...Where's it supposed to go? The fans are not driving these sorts of moves at all. That's a ridiculous idea.
  18. It's going to get worse too. Like if this offseason is an example of how Cubs fans see the players, imagine how we'll value the stars of The Future who aren't WS curse breaking former Golden Spikes turned #2 overall picks turned MiL POYS turned ML RoYs turned league MVPs...The Ricketts and the other owners got what they needed out of the offseason just between the Betts/Price deal and the feedback from fans on how Kris Bryant is valued, and all it took to hide was a handful of deals that may never get matched to a handful players...The one positive is that the Cubs might get Lindor for a shiny bag of balls, but at what true cost on our humanity?!?! Turns out fans can tolerate prolonged and intentional losing, being known as Lovable Losers, the luxury tax as a cap, taxpayer dollars getting stolen for stadiums, capped amateur spending, automation for the sake more efficient sports entertainment, etc...but the possibility of tying up cap space on a super accomplished nice guy superstar drafted by the org with all the player features and tricks except switch hitting was a tipping point...Savage times Wait, wait, wait... What? Your worry is how the FANS value players as opposed to how the owners and the FO values them?
  19. Admittedly, I forgot about the thing where he basically cyber-stalked someone on Twitter, that was horsefeathers and bad. Baseball could use more candidness like his when it comes to on-field stuff, though (and it seems like the Astros have opened that up, at least). trevor bauer is an alt-right dick head Yeah, the Twitter bullying/stalking of a random teenage girl was like one of a zillion things this Ben Shapiro-wannabe has [expletive] out over the course of his career. Even setting politics aside, he's just a prolapsed anus of a human being.
  20. Only in the context of the country being a neverending waking nightmare these days, sure.
  21. HARD, hard disagree. That's understandable. What do you think would be a fair scale? At the very least starting with $50k a year.
