Except that radio guys and now Hub Arkush are repeating the same stories that they've gotten in each other's faces and had a confrontation. All Score guys. When guys like David Haugh or Brad Biggs start saying that this confrontation happened, then I'll start to buy in. (BTW, hilarious that the Sun-Times had Dan McNeil, a Score guy, write the article on this today.) But Hub has always struck me as pretty bitter about losing the Bears announcer job, so I pretty much take everything he says with a massive amount of skepticism. I think Urlacher was probably drunk in Vegas, and said something to Bobby. I don't think it was put exactly the way Bobby said....even he said "he pretty much called him a ***sy"....not exactly a direct quotation. In any case, I think it was probably something about the way the Denver thing went down, not about his play abilities. But the OTA confrontation story sounds like a couple of guys over there stirring the pot.

What if one calls heads and the other calls tails? I hope to hell they have a fight during the coin toss. I'd throw in an extra first round draft pick for that.

I just like how we're treating the word of Bobby Wade, and single source reporting as though it's infallibly accurate. If it was true, all Urlacher has to say is "Yeah, I was drunk, and playing around. I call a lot of people "[expletive]". I'm a football player." But whatever. Even if it's all true...it's a non-issue. They're football players that will never be on the field at the same time. Big whoop.

I'm not listening to the show. Who's making the claim that this confrontation happened? Boers or Bernstein? Benson was a rookie running his mouth. Cutler was a massive trade that hugely upgrades a position. There's a difference between giving a rookie a rough time, and calling out your new star QB. And again, why is the Score the only one that has this story? Nobody but them saw this thing?
-
No sarcasm. I just think it's all BS. Terry Boers is only one that saw this mysterious confrontation? Whatever. And it's only mentioned the day that Bobby Wade makes his comments?
-
Read the Urlacher quote above. The OTA confrontation didn't happen.

Ahhh....so it's MNBSFSPWLSEW. Gotcha.

Is the Favre love already returning for GB fans?

Welcome to 2 years ago. ;) viewtopic.php?p=1274051#p1274051

Publically...but who knows what is said when he and Bobby Wade get all crazy in Vegas.
-
Non-issue. They're never on the field at the same time. I don't care if the entire defense hates the entire offense and vice-versa.

Banedon replied to Arnold Layne's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
That's a ridiculous statement. It's been much more split down the middle. It isn't a few "scattered dissenters". This is a good example of what just about every "Soriano Lead Off" thread has looked like. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=40919&hilit=soriano -
I don't think it affects the Halladay situation. Halladay's price is already very high...I don't think it goes up from there. Riccardi doesn't seem to be desperate to trade him..but rather, will either get the high price he's seeking, or won't trade him at all.

Man it seems like someone we know told us something like this...man, who was that? Oh...yeah... :D)

so why is it if personal attacks in game threads can give you stern warnings, but clowns like this, who add nothing to the board but personal attacks never seem to get the old slap on the wrist? We have a list of certain people we moderate and everyone else just gets to do whatever they want. It definitely has nothing to do with the warning system not being a public device...nope...huh uh. BTW, no personal attacks like the bolded please.

God you're a troll. He may or may not be, but if he is, it's not because of that post. -
Worth reposting...ESPN preseason rank for the Vikings at #9: The Viking fan hate toward Favre just doubled.
-
Waiting for the day a player says, "I'm really screwed up right now. I'm pretty sure I will be out for longer than people think. I hate rehab and I know that won't go very well." "But it'll be nice to get paid while I'm sitting at home on the couch for a while"
-
Fair enough.
-
why? you want ryan howard practicing bunts on the one in a million chance he's going to be asked to do it? just because you could bunt in high school against a guy throwing 68 mph doesn't mean every major leaguer is going to be able to do it against a major league pitcher. I get your point and all, but come on....Mike Fontenot is not, and never will be, Ryan Howard.

Re: Sale of Cubs to Ricketts Complete (p. 15)
Banedon replied to 17 Seconds's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He really stepped out on a limb with that kind of commitment. -

i hate this argument. you know, the one that assumes getting down a squeeze bunt is just as easy as putting the bat out there and viola the run scores. Not at all...but it should be pretty reasonable to ask for some contact...
