    You can bet your life on it that that streak will end next week, though. I hope the Bears aren't looking ahead to next week, but I know I sure am.

    Culpepper could be out for the season. May be placed on IR.

    2nd week in a row that the Bears aren't included in John Clayton's 1st and 10 column. Not that I'm surprised. The Niners and Dolphins aren't exactly "must-see" viewing.

    Len should write an Op-Ed piece for the Tribune sports page. You meant Daily Herald right????

    Thanks for the input Bruce. I'm not sure that there was really an implication that Hendry was behind a smear campaign....maybe there was and I just ignored it...that's certainly possible. I certainly don't believe that. I just think there's a perception about A-ram out there that tends to overwhelm any of the statistical evidence (even non-sabermetric stats) that he's been a top performer during his Cubs career. I think your input about his relationship with the media is very telling as far as that goes though. I guess I'm just disappointed that he would get so much focus when there were so many areas that actually are problematic.

    9 posts before a Cuban reference! I would've guessed it would be much sooner... :)

    Mariotti: Couch: As far as Deluca, I'm not finding any "opinion" piece where there's a stated preference on Juan. Simply references like "Leadoff hitter Juan Pierre is a free agent and is as good as gone with Baker leaving."

    Pierre sure didn't produce in April and May. Why give him big bucks? But you won't hear any outcry from the media on that...Pierre works really hard and he hustles.

    Harping on Aramis or harping on the nonsense? Sorry, that was worded poorly. They were harping on Aramis. Saying he's not worth the money he's asking for the amount of effort he puts forth...etc. Though they acknowledged that Steve Stone had been on and said that if you let A-Ram go and you sign Soriano, then you're really not any better off than you were. Jeez. Scratch those 2 radio hosts as defenders, then. I could have sworn I heard them defending Aramis the other day. That's a bummer. I would have hoped those guys would see past the nonsense. Also, how on earth are people forgetting that Soriano is the same guy that threatened to sit out if he was made to play LF? To be honest, I value B&B's insight on football and basketball MUCH more than baseball.

    Even Boors and Bernstein were harping on this "lazy' nonsense yesterday. And those guys are usually pretty much right on with most of their opinions, (even if they don't always say it in the nicest possible way).

    Jon, you'll be happy to know that Manning's fumble recovery was changed to a pick. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/bears/121010,CST-SPT-bearnt02.article

    Invite him to discuss the matter in this thread...he may not be terribly flattered with some of the comments here, but I think we can keep the discussion at a reasonable level...
  15. Banedon
    The article says Fox is protecting the game because its at 3 PM and its the most highly watched game of the week. I thought the game was supposed to be at noon. Hey now...you keep quiet with your "facts" and "schedules"... :P

    An interesting articleabout flexible scheduling and the dueling that may be occuring between NBC and Fox over the Bears/Patriots game...

    FJM just did a number on this. Woohoo! I emailed them about this article this morning... :) is your name craig by any chance? Indeed it is...hadn't read that comment.

    I try never to listen to the Score between 12 and 2. It's like open mic night at the idiots club. I also get a kick out of people that clamor for Soriano but think Aramis is lazy. Really it's anytime before 2:00. Most of the stuff after that is listenable. Although I'm not a big fan of Buffone or O'Bradovich when they're on. But yeah, Mike Murphy really does have a lot of terrible callers.

    I'm going to venture a guess and say that this sentence is not one that is frequently used.
  22. Banedon
    I don't think that is going to be great bulletin board material. He set himself up for bulletin board material if he had proceeded to another sentence, but right there he seems to just want to focus on his team and his play, and not what the other team is doing-he's not necessarily saying that his team will play better. Yeah, the questions he was getting were probably among the lines of "oh what's it like to go play the big bad Bears on the road," with reporters implying that the Dolphins have no chance. Saying that you're not conceding victory before even getting on the plane is not bulletin board material. Maybe. If you take those last couple of sentences out of context though, I think the Bears can use that...maybe I'm wrong. On a completely seperate note, these may be the worst QB rankings I've ever seen. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6120938 Yea, that's an absolutely ridiculous system of basis. The fact that Grossman has had a lead of more than 25 points 5 weeks out of 7 has counted against him, dropping him down to 21st. I really don't see the point of that ranking system. Any system that has both Kurt Warner and JP Losman ranked higher than Grossman, is a flawed system.
