    this is why i hate nba games, i wish they had a 'knee the game out' option

    ladies and gentleman, if it wasn't apparent before, it is now derrick rose is a superstar

    actually the last time we beat the nats we ended up with soriano's contract, so i hope they continue beating us on free agents

    ugh, as much as i'd like to see the cubs get a player of Matt Garza's caliber i really dunno if i like the direction this off-season is going if you are going to tank the season, let the young kids grow and build your farm system then do it. Don't try to appease both sides and sorta kinda try to win. The Pena move is consistent with either honestly. tread water, shed payroll next year, and build for the future. but i dont like this one-foot-in-one-foot-out kind of moves like this. whats the point of this? are we going to scrap for 85 wins and hope to take down a mediocre nl central? if you want to win, then go out there and spend some [expletive] money and then really show you're going to win but these kind of off-season plans are guaranteed to land you in mediocrity for another decade

    best Cutler moment was in the pittsburgh game last year when he was walking around with his helmet sorta hanging off his head and one of the reffs hit him in the head and the helmet came off it was goofy and funny, and heartwarming. i wuv you cutler

    it'd be really nice if the vikings could do us a favor and beat the giants (they wont) and then have the giants turn right around the week after and beat the packers (this also wont happen) i'm extraordinarily nervous about a playoff spot for a team thats 9-3 and sitting with the 2 seed right now, but its not unwarranted. things could get very dicey even if we finish with an 11-5 record. the mentioning of Prisco's picks had me looking up his accuracy: he's 46% hahah, literally worse than flipping a coin. (though i dunno if he picks against the spread or not)

    i listened to most of the game on the radio (pretty early game wasn't it? was still at work) and it was super infuriating. by the time i got the chance to watch the game on a television, it was about 2 minutes left in the game and i saw derrick rose give gravity the finger and decide to win the game. still, it'd be nice if these guys would just take a game over and not let it become a boondoggle every time. this was a bad cavs team playing the back end of a back-to-back. how'd we not blow them out?
  8. BigSlick
    yeah, pena was clearly the best option here, though 10 mill sounds like more than i had thought they would spend all off-season, so i'm sure we'll see some correspondingly poor payroll shedding type moves coming up 2011 cubs are gonna be a whole lot of bad

    after the lakers game this schedule is about to get a lot softer. and its about time, nice to see the bulls pass the gut check with flying colors, but it'd be nice to throw some long win streaks together. look at this: timberwolves pacers (they've gotten better, but still shouldn't be a problem) raptors clippers sixers wizards knicks pistons bucks nets cavaliers raptors nets sixers then finally we get the celtics again, but then after that its pistons bobcats pacers and finally the overdue heat match up we could easily string together a 10 game win streak somewhere in there

    seriously, seeing thabo airballing threes for another team made me feel really grateful for once in a long time. miss his defense, but its worth it to not see him stink it up on the other side of the court.
  11. BigSlick
    i literally watched like 20 minutes of the game and i saw boozer get jacked in the face, not get fouled, and then immediately down the other side of the court durant gets away with his 18th walk of the game and is fouled on his pinky or something i dunno man, i'm pretty sure this isn't just homerish whining on my part, we are getting absolutely jobbed the last few games.
  12. BigSlick
    welp that certainly was some sort of game tonight. looks like new england is def the real deal again, so we got our hands full. good news is that we basically only need to win one of these match ups vs. the afc teams in the last few weeks, and the jets are looking much more vulnerable. would be nice if the patriots showed more kinks in their armor, oh well. gonna definitely have to put up some points to keep up with them, our defense or not. they will move the ball. another nice thing, at least to some degree (it could be heartbreaking in another) is that the last week is almost certainly going to mean a playoff spot for someone and its very possible it could lead to a rematch in the first round of the playoffs too. would hate to see us battle for our playoff lives up in lambeau vs. what i'm pretty sure is a superior team, but hey, at least every game would mean something this season. i'd have to drink a lot though if it came to that.

    good to see we can still win a game after our defense plays really crappy and the special teams craps the bed and the offense is merely ok. got a couple calls here but also missed out on some plays too (idonije fumble recovery!) if we play like this against the pats we get blown out, easy. still should be fun, hope we can go 2-2 down the stretch but it'll be hard as hell. heck, with the way the vikings are bipolar we could go 0-4 and manage to play good football in every one of those games. it would be a shame too, this team deserves to at least taste the playoffs, even if they get ousted in the early rounds.

    anyone that doesn't like stacey king is wrong. denying stacey king is amazing is like denying that the sky is blue. stacey king objectively. owns. now where is my poster machine?
  15. BigSlick
    at least the year he predicted we were going to win the world series and he the cy young we had the best record in baseball and he threw a no-hitter so actually he did ok
  16. BigSlick
    even for you, this is just the dumbest [expletive] ever think about it, it's not like the Lions have a great success at drawing fans, they have to halfway figure this is some innocuous way of instilling a modicum of interest into otherwise meaningless affairs it's pretty [expletive] weird to catalogue a list of it though wait, there are lions/cubs fans that exist in the real world? wait there are lions fans?

    noah had 0 rebounds the same night as his bobblehead doll night =D>
  18. BigSlick
    yeah theres absolutely no way we should lose this game, if we do we're in biiiiiiiig trouble i really hope the defense (and offense!) find a way to shine, maybe a 5 sack, multiple interception day? defense still hasn't scored an interception yet this year, would like to see them break that streak
  19. BigSlick
    i dont think any team with an offensive line as bad as the 2010 Bears' can win the Super Bowl
  20. BigSlick
    The best Aaron Miles factoid was how when the A's traded for him they released him within a few weeks, as if they traded just for the moment to cut him out of spite for his sins against baseball
  21. BigSlick
    I wouldn't be surprised if this team actually struggles a bit when Boozer comes into the lineup, seeing as he brings an offensive game that is unlike anything else on our roster, and it may take some growing pains to work him in. Of course I wouldn't be surprised if they come out and flat out dominate with him, either. Its just too bad we don't get any cupcakes to lay waste to and work out kinks on for another 2 weeks.
  22. BigSlick
    from the sounds of 670 and ESPN it sounds like Shaun Hill is looking less and less likely to play the game whether he soldiers through or Drew Stanton plays, write me off on being skeptical about the Bears prevailing in this game
  23. BigSlick
    probably not justified in this opinion but this game terrifies me. like a previous poster said, they offer a lot of match up problems, we don't play well in their stupid dome and calvin johnson is unstoppable. i'd be happier if this detroit team had won some of its closer games because i know they are just gnashing at the bit to get one, especially against a rival flying high. i also have bad memories of that stupid shaun hill drive that almost won them the game the first time. i hate shaun hill.

    i have a scary dream of dwight howard grabbing boozers wrist in the low post and breaking it across his knee

    3rd and 9, Bears trying to ice the game. Cutler floats a little pass over the middle to Forte, ball is in the air, and the LB has his hands all over Forte impeding his progress. It was blatant and an easy call but they didn't throw a flag. Cutler was pissed and started jawing at the refs, walked off the field, and apparently said one more thing for the 15 yard unsportsmanlike. It was a really, really terrible no call that gave Philly life. it was a pretty poorly called game, the cherry on top to me wasn't that play, but when the philadelphia offensive line straight up tackled one of our dtackles on the last drive and there wasn't even a whisper of a flag that and the mystery offensive pi that was called in our favor, which im almost positive was a make up call to make sure the reffs got out of chicago without being shanked (they still should have been shanked)
