Wait, the Packers drafted a punter AND a long snapper?

Bears 2018 Offseason: Matt Nagy Hired as Head Coach
Thurman Merman replied to Outshined_One's topic in Other Sports
I'd be happy with someone like Nelson, as I view him as fairly safe with ability to provide immediate impact. But if there's an impact rusher available, I don't see how they can pass that up. So if pace believes that Landry has that ability, then I will be all for that pick. -
Bears 2018 Offseason: Matt Nagy Hired as Head Coach

PFF did their mock and have the Bears going Landry, with Chubb still on the board, no less. That was a "what would I do" mock and not a prediction though. What was their line of reasoning for taking Landry over Chubb? Pace may really want a pass rusher, but if Chubb is there he's taking him. -

Along those lines, my buddy was thinking they may take Harold Landry with the 8th pick. -
I haven't had ATT in Wheaton yet (only Comcast since we moved here), but my previous experience with ATT internet in the Chicago burbs is that it sucks and is way slower and more spotty than Comcast, which I have not had an issue with (other than paying way too much).

I don't think the Brewers will be too worried about their closer going down. They've got the best 6 through 8 closers in the league.
-
That missed strike 3 call winds up screwing us over. Robot umps for the love of god.
-
I've always envisioned it finally happening on some sort of buzzer beater or something. The fact that it's going to be like a 20 point win makes it sort of anti climactic.
-
I'm calling it. UMBC is taking Virginia down. Down this much in the second half, and Virginia's calling card is d? It's over.

The best part of b and g was when they would diverge from sports. When they branched out, I learned awesome things like diacovering my new favorite spicy condiment sambal olek. I'm not sure how anyone could actually listen to 5 hours straight of sports talk.

The Afternoon slot was doing awful against Waddle & Silvy, can't imagine this changes anything though. No clue why they broke up Spiegel & Parkins though. They were killing it against Kapman and Carmen & Jurko. I wonder if they could have held their own against Waddle & Silvy with more time together. If B and G were getting crushed then I suppose this makes a bit more sense. Still doesn't mean I'm not switching over to npr full time.
-
So if I heard right, there's a new guy heading the score who is friends with McNeil so he basically shook everything up just to get him back in the afternoon slot? That seems like a brilliant idea.

Guide says 2 pm central on nbc So they're showing it again? I literally just watched it from 12-1pm EST Hope so, because I'm going to watch the horsefeathers out of it.

I was at that game and it was awweeesssoooommmeeee.
-
I wasn't sure either, and a quick IMDb led me to find this move called "they came together". Looking at the cast, I can't believe I've never heard of it and this has to be the greatest movie ever.

Wait, am I missing something or is that list missing Larson's game?
-
Balls are pretty common. As for food, we always walked somewhere outside the hotel. No idea where the players/org people go.
-
I don't see anything wrong with playing the best games from the previous season in the offseason, id watch that even if it came after a shitty Cubs season. The ridiculous part is how they are advertising it.
-
Do you think he meant to go by dick love lad or is that just a typo?
-
Maybe I'm just missing something, but what is the inspiration behind that?
-
It's been a long time since I've gone, but figure out what panels you want to go to and get there early.
-
without being able to strike anybody out and with a lot of walks? I doubt it. Wade Davis in 2011 as a starter: 5.1 K/9, 3.1 BB/9 Wade Davis in 2012 as a reliever: 11.1 K/9, 3.7 BB/9 Chatwood last year: 7.3 K/9, 4.7 BB/9 Not saying he will become a closer, let alone a good one like Davis, but there is precedent for a mediocre starter with a middling K/BB rate to become a dominant reliever by increasing his K rate.

Week 12: John Fox's Bears @ Philadelphia Eagles Noon FOX
Thurman Merman replied to r_mack's topic in Other Sports
Hopefully that throwing to the left problem improves. Clearly still an issue. -
That explanation by Fox is such horsefeathers. Literally the first time i saw a replay i said “geez i hope they don’t call that a touchback”. Yeah, especially since it just happened in another game only a couple weeks ago.
