Oh, speaking of that, this morning on The Score, Dan Hampton spent a good while explaining that because Cutler met with the candidates, that he believes that "Cutler hired Trestman". :banghead:

Just means that neither Emery or Trestman have anything invested in Cutler....neither were responsible for acquiring him, so Mullin feels this provides cover if they wanna cut bait.

The Bears have only NOT been in the playoffs 3 years in a row because of Cutler......missing games due to a terrible OL and WRs. And it makes total sense to give up MORE 1st rounders for Joe Flacco, when there's other areas of greater need. Those can wait.

I agree to a certain extent - it is ridiculous that the Cubs cannot schedule a Friday night game to allow some rest after flying in from the road on a Friday morning. However, complete dismantling of the night games ordinance would inevitably result in day games becoming strictly a Sunday and getaway day phenomenon - TV money would see to that - and I think that would be a shame. Previous discussions were limited to merely loosening the restrictions. There's no reason for the Cubs to play more day games than other MLB teams, imo. They'll still play plenty of day baseball on the weekends. Day baseball during the week means little to me. In fact, I rather prefer night baseball during the week. I have a couple of reasons - day games are better for families, and more kids are exposed to the game both in person and on television when the games are played during their waking hours. Day baseball during the week is the reason I became a fan in the first place, and I'd wager it is the same for many here who have watched since youth. Not because of old-timey romanticism, but simply because I could see the games. I'll add that frigid early spring Wrigley is less so in the daytime. Again, there's still day baseball on during the weekends for kids to get exposed to it. I dunno about you, but my son is in daycare during the week when school is out, so he's not more exposed to baseball during the day. Also, my son gets plenty of exposure to prime time sports, even if he doesn't get to see the end of games very often. I saw plenty of day baseball as a kid, but mostly because I had a stay at home parent, so I was at home during the summer to watch. I don't think that's the case for nearly the same number of kids anymore. I just don't think the Cubs are "special" in regards to day games. Every other team in the league gets by with many more night games. The Cubs should be the same.

Looks like the Kings to Seattle is more or less a done deal, and they are going to try to get the team relocated and renamed in time for the returns of the Sonics next season. All good news, imo.

Moon Mullin is a crazy person. http://www.csnchicago.com/football-chicago-bears/bears-talk/Joe-Flacco-a-Bear-Very-very-long-shot-bu?blockID=825395&feedID=9399

Its ridiculous that fighting in hockey is tolerated.

Sports glasses I told my wife last night that Kirk is always ready in case a game of racquetball breaks out.

Weaver....Musial....somebody get Ernie Banks to a hospital for observation ASAP.

It was on ESPN. Well crap. I'd heard them say on the radio earlier that it was on WCIU, so watched a movie instead. Ouch. The thing is, you know a game like Boston-Chicago is going to be on national TV. Watched Empire Strikes Back instead, with my 6 year old seeing it for the first time. Pretty damn good alternative.

Huh, we got the whole Blackhawks game down in Bloomington.

He said that Lennay's mom didn't want him to show up at the funeral. Asked him not to come. Because they didn't want him to "meet" Lennay in her coffin. And he didn't want to either.

Screw WCIU games.

Its a good hire but Marinelli fell in his lap.

And yet... Many tweets agreeing with La Canfora.

None of which is illegal. Um. True? Did someone say it was illegal?

Awesome.

He was a DC in Cleveland too. Yeah, looks like he was pretty good there too.

Looks like he started calling defensive plays in 2011, Jax was 5th (Bears 4th) in FO's defense rankings for 2011. They did drop to 28th this past season though.

Jax DC

Roniah is doing some interview here he confesses to being behind the hoax, that Te'o didn't know...at least at the beginning. Caught something about it on the radio.
