    I say who cares if he was drinking or not. It's very tragic and very sad regardless. It is very sad and tragic regardless. But it's important to acknowledge the drinking and driving, if, in fact, he was drinking and driving. So, I would say everybody should care. It's an ongoing national problem that people can solve on their own with an ounce of common sense. It's nothing but stupidity that fails to prevent such tragedies. I see no reason why people can't speculate about the circumstances, considering what happened and what has emerged so far. Seriously. Obviously we don't know anything for sure at the moment, but imagine if the tow truck hadn't been there to act as a buffer and he ran into a parked car. Things would have been a lot worse, and if he was drinking, I doubt there would be so much heart break.

    I can only imagine what kinds of nicknames this guy got called while he was growing up

    It just underscores what Quinn had to work with, i.e. very little. Yeah, a 1,000 yard rusher at running back, one receiver with over 1,000 yards and one with over 900. It was really Quinn and a bunch of scrubs back there. Just because they aren't pro prospects doesn't mean they weren't great college football players. Rhema Mcknight was a drop machine, and any RB on that roster could have gained 1000 yards. THe only weapon was Jeff S. If their drop machine WR came just over 90 yards short of 1,000 and "any" runningback could have gone over 1,000 yards, doesn't that sort of dispel the notion of having "nothing to work with"?

    I don't want to assume too much here, but I worked at a restaurant in the past for a couple years, and not once did we ever offer a cab ride for someone that hadn't been drinking. It's going to be an odd turn of events if he was drinking and driving.

    Double-duty. The Bears are really on the forefront of the NFL's new cost-cutting measures.

    Don't get too excited, with the rising cost of tackling dummies, the Bears have begun to sign NCAA washouts to take their place.

    yes, thankfully we can finally put an end to that debate, which has consumed the board for weeks. Thank god, tensions have been at an all time high around here, mostly due to that 50 page monstrosity of a thread.

    I think Atlanta would laugh us off the phone if we offered Jones+Gallagher for Saltamacchia. I doubt Jones+Veal gets it done too, but I'd take either deal.

    Don't try these jedi mind tricks on us, pal.

    That's a pretty dumb argument. The fact is, he's hitting almost .250 with more homeruns and RBI's than our entire outfield. I don't think you understand what he meant by that.

    Haha, Miami is just giving up.

    It's just an old philosophical term that Aristotle used for untimely deaths.

    I don't know, I consider it cheap when someone misrepresents what someone said in order to make a point of their own, but that's just me.

    When reading that, I don't want to make any early assumptions but...... How the hell do you die from rear ending someone? Unless it's some kind of gruesome Final Destination type thing. What? It said it was on the highway. Think of how fast he would have been going. Ahh, I guess I didn't catch that.

    In other words, look the eff out when his luck evens out. Ehh, a low babip happens when a lot of your hits are going out of the park. Even with all the home runs, Sammy's probably just a .250 hitter anymore, so unless his power goes out, his babip will probably stay low.

    There's no way someone can say a player will never be traded. Anything can happen in the future. Good thing he didn't say that. Seriously, do you even read the things you reply to? He said there's almost no chance Samardzija will be traded, and I'm saying there's no way one can say that so early in his career. Yes, I did read his post; I just left the word "almost" out of my reply. He said there's almost no way he's ever traded (doesn't he have some sort of no-trade clause?), and you replied with "there's no way someone can say a player will never be traded. Which he didn't say. You didn't just leave the word "almost" out, you replaced it with a word with an entirely different meaning, it was a cheap thing to do.

    I'll take sample size for 500, Alex. I'll take "Theriot has an unsustainable babip" for 1,000,000

    I don't think people always assume that a player will repeat his worst year. I think people felt that way about Marquis because he's a guy who has gotten progressively worse the last three years, in basically every statistic you can come up with. This regression or whatever you want to call it sort of climaxed in an absolutely terrible, should not be in the majors, season last year. I think the season was just so bad that everyone assumed he had lost all concept of what he was doing. It would have been different had he been a really good pitcher that had a bad year, but he's really not much better than average, at best.

    Over/under on how long it would take for Stoneman to hang up on Hendry? I say 0.28 seconds. Angels are one of those teams who like players that make contact. It's about the only reason he's not on the major league team at this point. Actually he is on the major league team.

    Weird, I wonder if someone is after a player that had targeted in the second,, then.
