  1. I'm concerned about the commitments being made to guys who aren't the difference makers on this team. Taken by itself this signing isn't disappointing, but giving Crawford and Hjalmarsson a combined $10+m per year is a little perplexing to me. Perfect summary. You don't let Kane walk away to keep either Crawford or Hammer. Do you seriously think that Stan plans on letting Kane walk away? That the Toews and Kane situations aren't a factor in every signing they make?
  2. It's a $600k/year raise.
  3. Agreed. Maybe, maybe I could get excited for MNF if it was still the best matchup of the week, but why wait an extra day, and watch a late game between the Cardinals and Raiders or something.
  4. Maybe counting on Hossa retiring after this season?

  6. Gah! After all that I completely forgot. Sorry guys. Now you can all be embarrassed when I beat you with an autopick team though.
  7. True. Also none of the CBS guys have the Bears winning the division. 2 of them, including La Canfora, have the Bears finishing last in the division. Nobody has the Bears in the playoffs at all. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/23346776/nfl-expert-picks-bandwagon-filling-up-but-can-bengals-win-it-all
  8. Only one person on CBS picking the Bears this week. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/features/writers/expert/picks/against-the-spread/1
  9. http://espn.go.com/nfl/powerrankings
  10. Apparently the Bengals LT may not play week 1. Recovering from knee surgery.
  11. My 6yo son plays hockey, soccer, swims and will start basketball this fall (not all at the same time), and still plays video games and watches tv. They aren't mutually exclusive.
  12. The flaws are super obvious from the beginning, but the fall off of the cliff starts about halfway through season 2. Season 4 is really, really good though. EDIT: Just realized I'm replying to a week old thread. I need to quit ignoring the polls forum.
  13. It's officially the NFL season! Someone has picked the Cowboys to win the East!
  14. I see we got a couple more teams, but we're still pretty short. Time to throw in the towel?
  15. Three guys on NFL.com picked them to lose the Super Bowl. I'm seeing them in the top 10 in some power rankings too. They seem to be a hot pick. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000236443/article/2013-nfl-predictions-seahawks-49ers-rule-in-super-bowl-picks
  16. I don't like ESPN, or Gruden, but my biggest problem with MNF is that it's on Monday nights. Football is best on Sundays. Thursdays are ok, because it's early, but Sunday night should be the end of the football week.

  18. Wow. That's...wow.
  19. I know you were talking about other posters, but I honestly don't care much about that at all. I just think the NCAA, conferences, and the schools themselves have screwed up the level of competition with things like conference re-alignments and the bowl system. They did those things to make a ton of money, which...whatever...so long as it doesn't mess up the product, which I think they absolutely have.
  20. Thank you. Wait, are you going to act that this was the stance you were taking all along? The best I'll say about college sports is that it has potential to be fun without all the NCAA and schools [expletive] it all up.
  21. Marshall is getting 4 days off, and the media has been freaking out about it...well... http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/grizzly-detail/chicago-bears-brandon-marshall-221534941.html
  22. Yeah, I don't trust anything yahoo tells me. The best draft grade in our league was a B+, but the football guys were gushing, saying he was a lock for the playoffs.
  23. Wow crazy to think at the end of the season Louis and Webb looked like our best OL options and look where they both are and where our line is. Well Louis is coming off major knee surgery, so his story is quite different from Webb, but yeah.
  24. The Dolphins released Lance Louis. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000234878/article/miami-dolphins-release-veteran-guard-lance-louis
  25. I like McFadden. He was a stud for me in 2011, so I'm biased.
