Your sig has hypnotized me. I'm unable to look away...
-
It's all good, I have Purdue upsetting Florida, so I'm doing the same thing pretty much.
-
That might help you-the occasional person has them going out in the 2nd round, but most people probably having them go farther than the sweet 16. But I want a perfect bracket! :P Who is your final four? Ohio State, NC, Wisc.......and....... SIU. Oh, looks like I'm not the only one that has SIU in the Final Four :D You're in Carbondale...you HAVE to pick them by law.... :D

Butler up 12? suck.
-
I have A&M in the sweet 16, so that wouldn't be cool if they blow this.
-
ODU just chucking up 3's now?
-
Well I had ODU losing to Maryland next round anyway, so it's not a bracket buster or anything for me.
-
I jinxed it with my post....my bad.
-
I did. Come on ODU! Me too. In fact, if ODU wins that, and the rest of the games stand as is, I'll be perfect through the first two batches of games... :D
-
Especially this Monday just past...no Prison Break or Heroes...all I had was 24, and that's not enough for me nowadays.

A-Rod talkin' like Mr. Cub
Banedon replied to E.J.'s topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Yeah this was my initial thought too. If A-Rod has been telling "everyone" this, than why is only Olbermann reporting it? I don't think Keith is making it up, but maybe he's not really saying this to as many people as Keith thinks... I must keep myself skeptical on this. -
Bruce Breaks Down the Race for the #2 Spot in the Lineup
Banedon replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
My problem with that is it will make it very difficult to get his name off the card when he's finally replaced with a decent player. Unless it's one of those erasable pens I used in junior high that ended up getting all over my hand as I wrote (lefty). Replacing him with a decent player might be a signifcant enough event to get a whole new card. -
Prior to start 3/22ST vs SD (was: Sun-Times)

Culpepper maybe? -
You need a tv intervention... :P

I noticed a pattern the past two seasons...Mike Brown goes down, this D goes south.... I noticed Mike Brown goes down, Bears finish with best record in NFC twice and go to Superbowl once. I would say Tommie Harris had much more to do with the defensive struggles at the end of the year than Mike Brown. Mike Brown's injury only hurt us so far as the safety was one of the weakest areas depth-wise. So long as safety is something addressed in the draft, Mike Brown isn't a huge issue. That being said, I'd like to see them keep Brown this season. I see no need to cut him for what little cap space he'll provide, especially if they aren't after any big free agents. Oh I agree. I wasn't advocating getting rid of Brown. We just need some depth behind him, because you can't count on a full season out of him.

I agree to an extent. I don't mind him not being thrilled at the situation, but to throw a temper tantrum of this extent is just ridiculous. It reminds me of a scene in A Few Good Men... This is the same thing to me. Briggs complaining isn't a problem. If he had just come out, said he was unhappy, and preferred to be traded...fine. But beating us over the head with it is actually having the opposite effect than what he's intending.

Hendry to Re-open Contract Talks with Zambrano This Week
Banedon replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
This is good news. I bet this gets done before opening day. -
I'm sure the goal here from a Briggs/Rosenhaus perspective, is to get public sympathy for Briggs being poorly treated by the Bears, but Briggs is getting terrible PR out of this. The more he talks, the more the public sides with the Bears. I think they've misplayed their hand terribly, and are really going to have to backpedal.
-
I think he'll play for the Bears. He's done the Bears no favors as far as helping with trade value, so I think the Bears will call his bluff. I think he'll sign a longterm deal. The Bears have made offers in the past. They can afford him. Barring some white knight team coming in and knocking his socks off, and giving something to the Bears, I think Briggs will be signed longterm by the deadline. He sounds pretty desperate with all his ranting and ravings, but the fact is he hasn't much a ton of money as a pro athlete yet, and I'm guessing he's itching to sign something with high guarantees. Yeah, I could see this happening too. Either way, I don't think he's "played his last snap for the Bears".

I think you're right, because on Comcast this morning they played part of an interview from the Score last night, and apparently he said something to the effect of "Best case scenario? That the Bears give me a long term deal at market value." That doesn't sound like a guy that's played his last snap with the Bears.
