Am I the only one who doesn't think Luck is going to be that good in the NFL?

The LaHair-balls? I prefer "The LaHairetics"

I also saw a bunch of "Look at that! Matheny out there fighting for his team. THAT'S how a good manager leads!"

They benefited from multiple calls last October that helped them win a World Series. So yeah let's bring in instant replay. I brought those up. They weren't missed or blown calls. They were close that could have gone either way, apparently.

I'm not sure about anyone else, but my twitter and facebook feeds are full of "Yeah, Cubs, enjoy your World Series, we'll enjoy ours." or "Must be nice to have the umps on your side for once." or "THIS is why we NEED instant replay." As if the Cards have NEVER, in the history of baseball, ever benefited from a blown call.

I think for stats, he uses this: http://blog.emergingscholars.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/4387282631_91f02e1c18_o.jpg

I always enjoyed the Copa Del Rey trophy drop:

I wish I could get the NFL package on Roku.

Who are we kidding? Hendry doesn't know how to use a computer, let alone email (both sending and receiving of).

Does anyone else miss Big Buff?

They couldn't find a better location for the photo shoot than a Steak-N-Shake bathroom?

The common post on Facebook right now is "hey cub fans: 1908." like that hurts me anymore.

the sound of the ball whizzing by, or the sound of it hitting the catchers mitt?

I was a bit of a late bloomer. Always wanted to go to a game, but never had the money/means to get a ticket and get to Chicago (or St. Louis). My GF (now wife) took me for my 23rd birthday. Sammy Sosa broke a couple bats (none corked). He launched a monster home run in the bottom of the 8th to give the Cubs a 3-1 lead over the Reds. Alfonsucka promptly came in and blew the game and Farnsworth lost in in the 10th. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN200206270.shtml Oh, and I was surrounded by Reds fans who took a charter bus from Ohio. They heckled me the entire game. That should NEVER be how a Cub fans first experience of a game (at Wrigley, no less) should be!

Several of my friends from Nashville are all singing the same song. "Zetterberg wasn't hurt, so who cares. Besides, Zetterberg started it. Weber shouldn't have even gotten a fine."

Yeah, he should get more than what Keith got.

MLB posted earlier today that Jamie Moyer has faced 8.9% of all Major League batters. Ever.

Illinois State's Tim Jankovich is on Kansas State's short list. Not sure if this has been discussed. http://www.pantagraph.com/sports/college/basketball/men/jankovich-to-kansas-st-isu-coach-reported-to-be-on/article_3153dd58-783f-11e1-95b9-0019bb2963f4.html

why would anyone from anywhere? the advantage illinois has is that it has access to illinois recruits that schools that aren't the blue-bloods don't. the question that you really want to ask is why would a top illinois recruit go out of state to a school that isn't a blue-blood? furthermore, illinois was (is?) in on jabari parker because the coaches have been in on him since the beginning. the advantage here is that the coaches can build relationships with potential recruits at a younger age. that's an advantage that not even duke has. hearing parker talk, the kid has some loyalty to the state, as well. why do you need to be the coach at the in-state school to be able to build relationships with those kids at an early age? Couldn't any coach do that just as easily? they could, but not just as easily. bill self isn't going to waste his time recruiting some kid in 8th grade when he can swoop in and get another kid, just as talented, from another state in 12th grade. he's got a dump truck and a wizard, why would he need to have dinner with some family in joliet if he's not even sure that kid will be playing at a high level in 4 years? the illini can do these things. because who doesn't love writing off a dinner as a business expense? Especially in Joliet? Rax Roast Beef, man. It's like Arbys, but good.

Yeah, it is quite poorly executed. I had much higher expectations for that beast.

How much of Hanie sucking had to do with Martz? Just curious.
