  1. hahaha...I've been watching the wrong pregame. I was on Fox by habit...duh.
  2. Ok then...how about this... San Diego D or Patriots D? EDIT: btw...I went with Dez Clark. I figure that if both games are blowouts, they Clark will get more chances just because the Bears tend to pour it on.
  3. http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/stories.nsf/cardinals/story/E4AB7F61BCD600828625721A007BE643?OpenDocument :D
  4. I'm afraid I'm letting my Bears bias get in the way...I have 3 TE's because I'm pretty comfortable with my starters in my other spots now that we pretty much have the bye's out of the way... Dez Clark vs Miami Antonio Gates vs Cleveland Dallas Clark at New England I don't think I'll be taking Dallas Clark this weekend, but I'm torn between the other two. I'm leaning toward Dez now that he looks healthy, he seems to be a favorite target of Rex's, and Rivers hasn't used Gates as much as I'd hoped when I drafted him.
  5. Mine doesn't...sigh
  6. tvunetworks.com I found it from a 49ers web site last week. It's a way to get some broadcast tv over the computer...you can download the player, and get some channels you may not normally get...but the only game I can find on there is the pistons game right now...and nba tv.
  7. At least I have Borat on Jon Stewart to comfort me.
  8. I was hoping that someone would broadcast it over TVU, but nothing so far.
  9. This absolutely sucks. WHY is this game not on the Superstation? My guess is that ESPN probably has the national broadcast rights for the night.
  10. This is VERY irritating...I live in Bloomington, IL, and I don't get local WGN apparently...no Bulls game for me... :evil:
  11. I read that earlier and wanted to comment on the refreshing part. Why is it refreshing for a team to spend big on a retread? He makes it sounds like baseball is just turning its back on the lifers and forcing guys into early retirement on low wages. I don't get what is so refreshing about a manager getting his 5th chance to manager a major league team. Not only that, but how is that different from hiring Baker who had experience, and Baylor who had experience? I'm not sure how this is something suddenly different..
  12. Jon Heyman from SI has this to say:
  13. More proof that ESPN ain't so smart...from Karabell's picks...ESPN fantasy expert... Um...no...the game's in Chicago...good try. Also the caption on the Bears photo on ESPN is that the Bears will have plenty to celebrate in Miami...maybe they mean Super Bowl? But I doubt it. I think someone has some bad info.
  14. Yeah Dusty, that 2003 team was a real drag for you to have to manage that first year.
  15. I want to see Pie playing for the Cubs. But I'm not saving a spot for him if good alternatives are available. I've seen that movie too many times before. QFT I think this is what I was trying to get at with my comparisons, and I failed miserably. So I'll go with this... :P
  16. ROFL... A fun post I stole from a Dolphins message board. Funny stuff, even though they mispelled Ogunleye. #2 is my favorite.
  17. Comcast had that, too, except it was NFLNetwork on demand. But it was free right? They probably just have the on demand menus arranged differently. Anyway I just thought it was pretty cool.
  18. My point in the Thome-Choi comment wasn't to say that I want Thome instead of Lee or any such nonsense. My point was that we've had young players with a lot of hype that haven't panned out like we thought they would, and getting a proven player has instead been the right move. I should have used Lee-Choi instead.
  19. What if Pie is part of the trade for Wells?
  20. I remember the Cubs passing on Jim Thome because Hee Seop Choi was waiting in the wings. Perhaps they remember that as well. In that case, it was a good idea. Thome was aging. In hindsight, it might look like a bad move, but the Cubs had one of the top 20 prospects in the game, and Thome was a 32-year old, seeking a 5-6 year deal in the double digit millions. I realize it's not a direct parallel, but my point is that the Cubs may look back on a situation like that, and the "youth movement" we had this season, and want to have veteran guys in there instead of young guys. And if they can get value back for Pie, I could see that approach, especially being a major market team that can supposedly afford the higher priced, proven talent.

  22. This ishilarious! Laugh out loud funny.
  23. So I this out from a co-worker today, and it could be specific to Insight Communications cable service, but I definitely thought it was worth mentioning to you guys, given that Jon's highlights have been removed... On my dvr, if I chose the On Demand programming, we have an option called "The Free Spot". It basically has on demand samplings from numerous channels. NFL network has weekly 10 minute replays for every game! It shows all the highlights of the game with the home team radio announcers call over it! The Bears-Niners highlights have Joniak and Thayer over them. It's like they stole Jon's highlights. Anyway, it might be worth looking through your On Demand selection to see if NFL Network has anything available for you. Especially if you don't get to see the games normally since it's a non-ESPN'd highlight package.
