    That is an absurd interpretation of how the announcers were calling the game. Gruden was creaming his pants over the Bears.
  2. jersey cubs fan
    Kind of odd that the first to test the waters would coincide with international budgets being slashed.
  3. jersey cubs fan
    Yes. Without it guys would run down out of bounds and use their bench, especially as a 12th man to help get around defenders.
  4. jersey cubs fan
    You have to think that favors us. We can run better, they're a dome team, etc. That's what I'm telling myself anyway. Also, you'd think that the conditions would lend itself to turnovers. Crappy conditions lessens the difference in talent level, and the Bears are the more talented team.

    But not for fans.

    hahaha I understand Chicago is a pretty big city and all, but if I had never seen football in my life and I saw a 6'4", athletically build black man, I would assume he played football somewhere and wouldn't ask that question. I WOULD NEVER MAKE SUCH AN ASSUMPTION AND NEVER HAVE...

    Soup Campbell? I don't think he is any good. It'll be nothing but boring cliches.
  8. jersey cubs fan
    I thought he was pretty good. The problem with the notion of "tuning them out" is that you can only do it if you watch with the volume down. Doesn't work for me with a full season of games. Brenly did have bad "Ramirez/Soriano bashing" tendencies but he seemed to change a bit in that regard. And I think there are only 1 or 2 guys they could get that won't be considerably worse than him.

    1st and goal with that much time I'd rather take a few seconds off clock with a QB run up the middle and then get 3 plays to win it.

    Also, that the NHL isn't the NFL, and you won't have nearly the public outcry to settle that the NFL and the NFLPA did. No PR leverage. If they would have to give back money anyway, there's no incentive for the players to settle now and avoid missing a bigger chunk of games.

    6-0

    4-0 Tigers on a bomb by Miggy off CC. God I love Yankee elimination day. We should get off work tomorrow.

    That's a pretty silly thing to say. If the Cubs traded Soriano for ARod minus his salary over what Soriano would make this year and next (a fantasyland idea), that would be nice. Then you could just consign him to the bench or cut him when he's 40 and can't play the field anymore. If the Cubs traded Soriano for ARod in a contract for contract swap (probably the only way the Yanks would do it), it would be monumentally, sickeningly stupid. No one in their right mind would do that. That'd be a ridiculous premium to pay to fill a short term need. He might be a bit of a pariah now, but do you really think the Yankees would eat $78MM just to be rid of him? Because that's the only way it would make one iota of sense. The only way they can trade him is by eating money and when the pressure builds on the Yankees to get rid of somebody, they usually do. When signing the deal in the first place they had to know there would be a huge chunk completely wasted.

    that makes so much sense that it doesn't make any sense

    I'm talking about the swap of a LFer coming off a surprisingly good year for a 3B coming off a year that is going to drag down his perceived value. The Cubs are desperate for 3B help, but can more easily acquire OF help. Also, Soriano's value is being good. Being good and being a veteran isn't an additional value. Reed Johnson got credit for being a gritty vet, it's the same damn thing that doesn't help the team at all in reality, but rather makes fans feel better about how horrible they are.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    Not sure how I'd feel about a Sori-ARod swap. I can't imagine the Yanks would eat his whole contract to facilitate a trade, especially when the Dodgers or Marlins might not require it. I could definitely see him going to one of those places. Someone suggested Heath Bell and Mark Buerhle as possible trade candidates in that deal. The Yankees need a shortstop and should get Reyes.

    What it's worth is zero. Nah. Doesn't mean its some irreplaceable skill, but it has value. Less and less value as guys like Castro and Rizzo hopefully become the leaders of the clubhouse, but there is some value in having a steady veteran who can show young players how to prepare and deal with the nuances of major league baseball. Now the caveat is they have to be able to play, otherwise they're just a coach. Luckily Soriano more than covered that this year. There is no assigned value in that, given that any veteran can do the same damn thing.

    I'd prefer the bang bus
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Such forward thinking. Amazing.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Normally that would annoy me, but thanks for this one.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    I could see something where Wood does home games to break in and some other studio work perhaps for away games, while Hollandsworth does the reverse.
