Guess what an idiot with a sports betting app did this time?
BigSlick replied to Brian707's topic in Other Sports
Just seems like a completely rigged situation where you are guaranteed to lose and if you have the temerity to use their algorithm against them, they wont pay you out. to quote the classic 1983 film War Games: The only way to win is to not play the game -
It's annoying that teams have really pivoted to making the most of these joint practices and basically benching all the starters for preseason games for the fans. I want to see this stuff!

Cubs 2026: Is the offensive floor becoming a real problem?
BigSlick replied to spaincubsfan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Do the Cubs have more 0, 1 or 2 score games than other teams? This should be easy to figure out -
This feels like, in terms of volume of injuries, the worst training camp the Bears have ever had. There were more damaging preseasons in Bears history (I remember Rex Grossman breaking his ankle in 2005 right before the season) but just by how many dudes have gotten hurt, I can't remember a worse one.

The first year I *seriously* started following the Cubs (I was a passive watcher in ('03 and '04) was '05 during Derek Lee's magical season. I'll never forgive the Cubs and Dusty for totally wasting that year. PCA has 1.6 WAR more right now. Derrek Lee hit .335/.418/.662 in 158 games and PCA has more than a win and half more value, with 26 more games to play. Lmao. Lol.
-
I still miss him 😞
-
This is like a 4 or 5 game over .500 team without PCA. What a superstar.
-
just a reminder: you're not allowed to lose this game, not when you outhit them by 8 hits
-
We love guys who don’t get a lot of sacks
-
Ozzy Trapilo is activated to practice and Kyler Gordon is nowhere to be seen. Lol.
-
I didn’t watch this one live but watching some highlights does show that Bagent was….not good…. Against back ups on the Browns. Not a great showing from him.

General Non-Bears NFL Thread - 2026/27 Season Edition
BigSlick replied to Outshined_One's topic in Other Sports
I'm 100% always going to root for the college player against whatever institution they're fightin against. For over 100 years schools have completely exploited these kids and I am totally in favor of them getting whatever they want from them back. -
i just want sports media to stop covering the stadium horsefeathers until something concrete happens. nothing concrete has happened since 2021 when they bought Arlington Park.
-
Bears have had some bad luck with guys who cost a lot of money/assets deciding not to play football anymore with little warning. Chase Claypool, Nate Davis, Drew Dalman, Kyler Gordon. I don't really hold it against Dalman as much because he decided to do it during the offseason but it still stung.
-
Bears Fans: Get comfortable with high scoring shootouts. In a way we need this. We need to live through this for the next few years. It will be ok.
-
So our biggest defensive offseason signing is out for the year. That's less than ideal. It's bad, but I also didn't think this defense was gonna be any good anyway. Hard to calibrate my expectations on this.
-
Given the amount of injuries the Bears have ALREADY sustained in training camp I’m wondering if the coaching staff is pushing it a little too hard. Guys, just make sure your team is as healthy as possible for the start of the season.
-
lol at just saying out of hand that Burden is out for the year. bears fans need to stop being fatalistic weirdos
-
if PCA doesn't win MVP this year I'm gonna go on a one man riot
-
This is absolutely a "only my teams" kind of meme thing, and I don't care what number you show me, I am, and will remain, convinced the Cubs are uniquely bad at them
-
Seems like Swanson just literally had no chance at making any kind of contact there regardless
-
My suggestion to Dansby: don't lift the bat from your shoulder
-
i can only follow on gameday and it looks like Swanson is trying to hit pitches that are roughly on Addison
-
baseball is good again a-woooo (wolf howl)

Assad really saved our bacon this year and bless him. He's really been the best version of a Workman-like Pitcher. We needed innings, and he got us innings, and he got us pretty decent innings. Hat tip, brother.
