    He should be feeling vindicated.

    I believe this is Goldman Sachs, etc's stake, not the % owned by the Yankees which they are keeping. Perhaps, it's 49% though and supposedly with an opportunity to acquire a majority within a couple years. Those guys wanting out now though is an even stronger signal.

    It really was. So many things that have been troubling at times in the past, or in some cases at all times, showed up last night. Lost in it all was another splendid waste of timeouts by both the offense and defense.

    Yankees ownership wanting to take the cash at this point may be signalling a top in the market for team owned networks.

    Who knows, they all suck. And these idiots felt it wise to bench and then release their best lineman from last season. I would love to never again hear the phrase "coach them up" as it refers to this line. That failed strategy has gone on too long.
  6. jersey cubs fan
    Yep.

    That is unacceptable and a fireable offense of Lovie really didn't look at game film of Kaepernick. It was a masterful bit of subterfuge to pretend Smith was playing then calling him out at last minute. The Bears are the Ron Burgundy of coaching staffs. They will read whatever you put in the prompter, and rely on who they are to carry them through the game, rather than make adjustments and actually gameplan.

    Because college presidents like to hide behind the cloak of "purity and amateurism" the NCAA provides. I could see the PAC16 being miffed enough about the many, many millions that the NCAA cost them because they were embarrassed that a couple of yahoo sports interns made them look inept. NCAAs 5 year investigation dug up what we alreadfy knew from the yahoo article and that a tennis player made some long distance phone calls. Im sure the PAC wants to get out in front of the Oregon sanctions also. The big 10 I am sure wants to vacate the penalties against penn state and osu that were similiarly heavyhanded. Not that the conferences would blow up the ncaa to lift in-place penalties, but the spectre of the NCAA being able to hand these things out in a Goodellian manner has to bug them more than the cloak of purity makers them comfy. On the contrary I think the presidents want the NCAA making those decisions and there's no way they want to vacate Penn State's penalty.

    Wow - all four guys getting owned. Urlacher wasn't really getting owned. It was play action, he stepped up when it looked like run then backed away. Briggs looked horrible but that's also the kind of hit a guy gets more credit for live than after watching film. Briggs recognized pass too late and as he tried to slow and backup all it took was a shove to knock him on his ass. He got caught in between.

    Also, while Lovie generally gets the most out of these guys, I feel a lot of the motivation comes from the embarrassment at getting their butts kicked from time to time. The ability to use weather as an excuse for the Houston game probably didn't help them come out inspired for this one. This game can serve as a launching pad for getting some people back to playing at their best. Namely Briggs and Peppers, who both sucked yesterday.

    You are right about that. But the fact remains the defense is good enough to keep them in most every game and the team will go as far as Cutler can take them, because nobody else can do anything with this offense. If they do wind up as a wild card there are some fairly unimpressive teams they'd be facing on the road in week 1. And they can still win the division.

    http://www.chicagonow.com/cubs-den/2012/11/levine-hints-at-big-mult-player-trade-involving-young-players/ That was talked about yesterday on all the blogs and forums (and, presumably Twitter) to the point that Levine put out a Tweet saying that the Cubs weren't trading any of their young players (whatever that means). Chicagonow? More like ChicagofivedaysagobutnotanylongercomeonkeepupoldmanBanedon.

    The defense was putrid but that sort of showing is to be expected from time to time from a group that plays the bend but don't break style the Bears play. If you rely on turnovers as part of your game, you aren't always going to get them. Punching balls after they've been caught isn't as effective in the long run as preventing them from being caught in the first place. Oh well, they can regroup. The offense remains the biggest concern, and the line, obviously, remains the biggest problem. Campbell held it too long on occasion, but unlike his opponent, his coordinator did him no favors with that high school offense they ran. KISS doesn't work with NFL offenses. Unfortunately Tice has proven time and again he's a simpleton of a coach. This game showed just how valuable Cutler is. He makes do with the same garbage talent around him that Campbell could do nothing with. It's not really Campbell's fault. 99% of NFL quarterbacks would look awful on this offense with this line and this coordinator.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    He probably had more than 2 seconds of protection. Then he'd just hold it until the d got there
  16. jersey cubs fan
    If? This is literally high school level offensive game planning.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    Yeah I'd be pretty devistated by losing Rutgers as a conference-mate too. Considering what was left in the Big East when they decided to join I'd bet the opportunity to travel into the NY market, however disconnected from the actual overall NY market, was pretty much the best part.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    lol nvm He didn't say anything about the Iowa Cubs young players, or Daytona Cubs young players, or Arizona Cubs either.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Should have tried for Montclair and Salisbury.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    After Sandy we'll need a lot more ditch diggers out here anyway.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Aren't they ranked fairly similar and both above the bottom 4-5 big ten schools?
  22. jersey cubs fan
    It's crazy if it is at the cost of anything else. But if it's just letting the guy keep showing up and trying then I guess it's not that crazy.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    What is this swap and for what reason would Cleveland be dealing away a quality young 3B?
  24. jersey cubs fan
    An entire state that kind of doesn't really care about Rutgers. South Jersey is just a Philly suburb, with no real ties to NYC, and it is Penn State country. Penn State, with a little Temple and other Philly college basketball teams of interest. North Jersey has NYC ties. But people don't grow up hoping to go to Rutgers. They want to go to Princeton or any other Ivy League school, and then you have a Penn State, Virginia, West Virginia tie to big schools. Rutgers is an after thought for the most part. They occasionally grab headlines when they have an outside shot of a really big bowl game. But James Gandolfini isn't much of a celeb anymore and Schiano/Ray Rice are gone.

    Don't know much about Maryland, other than it sucks and produces horrible people. But NY essentially ignores Rutgers unless it makes it late into the season undefeated. This would have to be something where they are thinking longterm and getting promises out of Rutgers to rebrand itself or something. I guess having Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, Nebraska and a couple other brand name schools show up to High Point Solutions Stadium (yeah, that's what it's called and I had to look it up just now, does any other conference school play in a similarly horribly named stadium?) could peak some more interest, but it's going to take a while. NY already does have a fairly strong presence from other big ten school alumni.
