    Four. I have no idea what's happening.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    OK?
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Then I understand even less what you were going for before, but whatever.

    If somebody is a meatball with a meatball viewpoint on Cutler, then yes, they are a meatball. There are, however, many different takes on Cutler that are not meatballish. I don't know what yours is, but I have a feeling it is five alarm hot. I disagree with the idea that the Bears' efforts to shift to a stronger QB-driven offense has been mostly tailored to fit/please Cutler. Improving a terrible OL, improving your terrible receivers and trying to find an OC that isn't a mouthbreather is what a team is supposed to be doing.

    I... I don't understand what you were possibly responding to in this discussion. Where I was defending Cutler's performance?

    If the rumors of them being so frustrated with Marshall are true, then no, I seriously doubt they go after him without Cutler. Look how they've mostly handled problematic players for a while now. And yes, I really, really hope the Bears wouldn't have been stupid enough to not realize the critical central importance of the QB to the point that they still had Kyle Orton in 2014. Well yea they probably have gone through Brady Quinn and Geno Smith by 2014 or something similar if they don't trade for Cutler. And whoever they had there they would have been scrambling to improve their QB production.

    To me the only real Cutler-centric move was getting Marshall; given Marshall's rep then I doubt they make the move to trade for him if they don't have Cutler. Everything else were just moves to try and maximize what you can get out of your QB, which I hope to [expletive] God they would have tried to do regardless of whether or not they had Cutler. I mean, arguments that trying to improve the wretched OL and receivers and OC's were done only to cater the offense to Cutler? That's absurd.

    They hired Martz because they were trying to create a wide open fast paced scoring offense match Jay's talents. They fired him because Cutler got sacked a lot. They fired Lovie in order to bring in an offensive minded coach. Didn't say those were the primary reasons. But every move made in the last 5 years has been to get the most out of Cutler. To get the most out of the QB. Who happened to be Cutler.

    Kevin Brown was the weird one for me. He's Curt Schilling minus the bloody sock. Brown had a 5 year stretch (96-00) where he won 82 games with a 164 ERA+, 2.51 ERA, and 1.051 WHIP. Pretty sure that is better than any stretch Schilling had. Brown was [expletive] awesome; he was a beast for a good decade out of his career.

    Oh, thank Christ.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    "A user?" Please. There's plenty beyond that; this [expletive] was around in various forms for decades.

    The thing that annoys me the most is how many self-loathing Cubs fans gleefully dismiss Sosa and want the organization to have nothing to do with himand basically want to act like he never existed. [expletive] Bonds and McGwire have been welcomed back by their teams, but the Cubs and their fans have this asinine, self-flagellating sense of "pride" in keeping one of the few genuinely great players the organization has ever had as far away as possible.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, we'll have to wait and see if the really smart coach is smart enough to play the better players.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    But you weren't able to notice this watching on TV?

    And holy [expletive], is Gasol bathing in stem cells or something this season? I love this team.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Dude gets way more blocks than I would have expected.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Wha? Butters isn't gooney. Update your drivers.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Oh my God, this is really happening.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    I think it would work well. Two coaches that counterbalance each other's faults. I want it to work and I don't; the latter mainly because they could have just done it here, for [expletive]'s sake.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    That...could work.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Because, for the bajillionth time, it was a long, long, LONG "steroid era" (anyone who thinks it started in the late 80's is a feeb) and by the time Sosa was around a ridiculous amount of players were using PEDs. You'd be better off trying to pick out the rare few that never did as opposed to pointlessly condemning the "cheaters," who ultimately were doing something that the league had little to no interest in cracking down on until the government basically said they had to. To say he was a "[expletive] who cheated repeatedly" is just pandering nonsense that makes it sound like he was doing something exceptional and unusual vs. how almost all other players were playing at the time. It's pointless purse-clutching and a prime example of meatballism.
