2014 Winter Olympics (Beware, no spoiler tags)

Or Seabrook. Mike Smith over Crow is a bite. But Crow's injury didn't help. For some reason Seabrook doesn't get nearly the love he ought to. -

Canada Hockey team being announced now. -
Agreed on the risk. However,, $22.5M this year will make it tough to rebuild the defense quickly without relying solely on the draft, possibly making 1 of the 3 guaranteed years very difficult to succeed in (as a team). It's the price of being able to get out of it early, and having no signing bonus though. For that, the Bears had to give something, and a high base salary in year one is the cost.

The guy was offsides and the 49ers declined the penalty. It's really funny though how many media types didn't realize this and were fawning over that gif after the game.

Sporttrac says right on the page the source is Mike Florio.
-
that's nice Well now apparently this info just happens to match up with a spreadsheet someone posted yesterday on reddit with "estimates" before Florio posted his article... http://i.imgur.com/nDBvfCF.jpg So it looks like Spiegel's "source" just got his info from reddit. Who knows now.

Dave Kaplan renewed his contract with WGN radio apparently.
-
While the front loaded aspect of it would've been interesting, this seems like it's much more logical.
-
So Spiegel on the Score is saying that the $54 million is a prorated bonus over the first 5 years, and that it makes the cap hits look like this: Year 1: $11 million Year 2: $15.3 million Year 3: $16.8 million Year 4: $18.3 million Year 5: $18.8 million Year 6: $22 million Year 7: $23 million

Walterfootball's last mock was done before the Cutler signing, but they had the Bears getting McCarron in the 2nd round. That was what prompted me to ask for other mock sources.

Jordan Mills having surgery today, per Matt Forte tweet.
-
Brown was in as a WR and returner. I'm sure they did that to fill the returner role, which Jeffrey isn't. :(
-
He's a good twitter follow.

What? The biggest change is Hardin and the college CB to NFL S pick isn't that weird. Shea was definitely a tweener position, but he didn't change his position. These guys are pretty much playing their prospect positions. Long I think played a little of each at Oregon and is new to any position anyways, and may yet bump out to OT but started at OG due to inexperience. Bostic played inside at Florida and was rated by most pundits as a ILB prospect. ERods role changed a bit but he was a rookie with a unique skill set and an uncreative OC. But he basically lined up in the same spot, but was just used as a lead blocker instead of a pass catcher. The best case to this theory is Shea but in reality the "position" is pass rusher and if your a 3-4 it means OLB and if your 4-3 it means DE. Bad fit, but he was put into the same role. They're playing their positions now, but each of them may be changing next year, per the press conference today. They specifically mentioned Shea as an LB, Bostic maybe having to move outside, that Hardin was a CB that couldn't cut it as a S. The problem is that it ignores those that didn't switch positions. Frey, Jeffrey, Mills... From the press conference yesterday, I kinda wonder if Emery has learned a bit from some of these "athlete" picks. We'll see.

We get that's what you're trying to say, but it's not true, so that's the problem.

You don't have to draw a straight line between the two injuries for it to be illustrative of the point. "Injuries beget injuries" means not only that you can hurt yourself compensating for one injury, but also that injuries(and especially 2nd and 3rd injuries like Cutler has already sustained) happen to players who (for whatever reason) are more prone to injuries. That makes no sense at all. Because he broke his thumb he's more prone to a groin injury? It's silly and unrelated. The groin and ankle...that makes sense. They were close together and could reasonably argued that there's a relation.
-
If 2010 is irrelevant then why is 2011 relevant? Because it's when he sustained the first of several different injuries that have caused him to miss time, illustrating that injuries beget injuries. He's missed 5 of his last 16 and 6 of his last 32 games, so it's not as if 2011 was aberrant in that comparison. Wait, are you insinuating that somehow his broken thumb is related to his groin and ankle injuries? How did one beget the others?

If only he'd get hurt right at the beginning of the season, then people would feel better about it.
