    The Haynesworth drama is good stuff. He's not even attempting the conditioning tests at this point.

    ESPN.com has "Camp Confidential" on the Bears today, and they don't seem too impressed with the secondary. Of course, that's with Harris out, and Wright not starting.

    This might be old, but I thought it was amusing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvFokICvrfQ&feature=player_embedded

    Back strain. http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/07/chris-harris-exits-bears-practice-with-injury.html

    I'm confused what your point here is. Are you saying he should be somehow bound by the NSBB Guidelines? Yes, we wouldn't be cool if he had done something like that on the board, but big whoop...

    DJ Moore brought the important stuff....to watch film, ya know? http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2010-07/55255365.jpg Johnny Knox http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2010-07/55255367.jpg Rashied Davis...he's still on this team? http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2010-07/55252323.jpg Patrick Mannelly http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2010-07/55252268.jpg Frank Omiyale http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2010-07/55250432.jpg Greg Olsen http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2010-07/55252325.jpg Olin Kreutz and Chris Williams' back http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2010-07/55244725.jpg

    Good lord.... http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/07/lovie-says-bears-will-blitz-more.html

    Wow is right. Wouldn't wanna be his roommate.
  9. Banedon
    Yeah...at $4 million, that'd be $3.24 million to be at 81% of the award if my math is right.

    This is where things are interesting. There's really not a huge market for him out there. My best guess would be maybe San Jose clearing space for him, but I'm fairly certain there is a rule that if he signs for a deal that is something like 90% or less than the arbitrator awards, the Hawks can match that deal. So for example, he gets awarded $3.5mil and the Hawks walk away. He becomes a UFA and gets offered a $2.75 mil deal with San Jose. According to something I read the other day, I think the Hawks could match that. Unfortunately, I can't find where I read that. Good call... http://www.nhlfa.com/CBA/cba_agreement12.asp

    Just for hypotheticals here.... Lets say the arbitrator finds for Niemi. The Hawks say "no thanks", and Niemi becomes a UFA. The Hawks could still, in theory, work something out with him if his market ends up being a lot less than what he thinks, right?
  12. Banedon
    Hilariously obsucre source, but Matt Spiegel read a text on the Score earlier from a lady whose cousin is a dental hygenist that takes care of Rocky Wertz's teeth, and she said that according to Rocky, that Niemi wanted $4mil or he was going to arbitration.

    Good Rex Bad Rex...err...Jay.

    Regardless of the results of this season, I sure am looking forward to seeing Mike Martz's offense rather than Ron Turner's.
  15. Banedon
    I knew there was a mystery 911 call, but the rest of that is new info to me...yeah, that sounds like people he knew somehow.
  16. Banedon
    A shame. It's going to be interesting to find out if he knew his killers or not. Seems like there's been more and more robberies/attacks against professional athletes in the past couple/few years. The internet isn't that big of a place. Yeah, I mentioned him being missing in the Bulls thread too for some odd reason. But it's been on CNN.com this week too, so yeah....
  17. Banedon
    I didn't realize that Ogunleye hasn't signed with a team yet. Asking for too much I wonder?

    Last year's preseason was a love fest....Cutler coming to save the day. This year, it's doom and gloom time. Our WR's suck, our QB sucks, our RB sucks.... It's just the way it works.

    Boers and Bernstein yesterday was amazing comedy. White Sox fans calling in and saying that Juan Pierre is better than Adam Dunn, and the subsequent screaming matches between them and Bernstein made for some winning radio.
  21. Banedon
    Carson Palmer also played only 4 games that season. I don't know the full situation...don't know exactly what his injuries were, or if he'd been playing through them or what, but that year clearly had some bad circumstances...and was a pretty clear abberation.
  22. Banedon
    Brenly was a coach under Dusty Baker on the Giants according to his wikipedia page.
  23. Banedon
    Hawks and Niemi likely to go to arbitration. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/hockey/blackhawks/ct-spt-0728-blackhawks-chicago--20100727,0,4087148.story

    probably a.j. hinch. i guess trey hillman counts too, although he was a manager in japan. I did try and find the answer, and Hillman had been the closest I found. Didn't realize that Hinch hadn't been an assistant in the majors. In any case, I think it's safe to say it's a pretty rare scenario.

    Nobody is going to take that contract, and I don't think Ricketts is letting us eat contracts at this point. I think that's part of the reason that Hendry is "safe" for next year...I think Ricketts is all about either unloading the whole (or at the least most!) contract when deals are made at this point. I think he's willing to spend, but not willing to spend on nothing.
