    Every wedding I go to those people arrive dressed down 2-3 levels from the rest of the guests. And by those people I mean fat people. They don't suit up like the rest of the population.

    I have no idea why people were predicting such foolishness. For all the grief that Lovie catches, the Bears still have a pretty good defense, and I'm convinced that most criticism of Jay Cutler stems from the fact that he looks like a dick. I don't think it has anything to do with his ability; people just see the look on his face and presume that he can't play football and it leads to hilariously bad predictions. Also, where in the [expletive] [expletive] were people getting off thinking the Colts were going to shut down Brandon Marshall? Did they think Luck was going to get out and play corner? The only way someone could have possibly thought Indy wins that game is if Marshall is a non-factor. Or if they were female. I won 2 separate bets against female colts fans and I'm quite happy about their foolish optimism.

    Is there an air conditioning vent behind him?

    I don't think it is that as much as it is the natural (or maybe learned) state of all football fans to hate a QB like Cutler. He doesn't fit the personality profile most want him to have, and he has had a tendency to turn the ball over at alarming rates. So fans of his team are not going to like him.

    10+++X10+++ Cutler would take heat in any market until he wins a super bowl in that market, and even in several of those markets he would continue to take heat after winning a super bowl.

    Which sucks, because the resident Pirates fan is infinitely more tolerable than about 86% of the Cubs fans here. He was until he added that signature. And it's always good for football season to come around to remind us how inherently awful Pittsburgh fans are in general.

    First of all, every team in the league has to call time outs on the road from time to time in the 1st and 3rd quarter. This is nothing unique to the Bears and I think you're letting the non-audible offense under Martz sway your opinion too much because it was done at an unusually high rate in 2010 and 2011. By pointing out that the Bears have had this problem at home games during the Lovie tenure, you're supporting his argument. I would wager that it was not any less of a problem pre-Lovie. If you want to show me some type of proof to the contrary, be my guest. Do I think it is catastrophic? No. But it does hurt the team and is preventable. The preventable part is why I think it is a topic and why it annoys Bernstein (and myself too). I'm not supporting the argument because it's not noise that forces timeouts. it's disorganization from the offensive unit. They have consistently wasted timeouts (much like Lovie in general badly mismanages challenges). They will call timeouts on 2nd and 8 from mid-field. It doesn't have to be the red zone. The fans cheering is not the problem. The Bears have a horrible offensive line and just this year finally put together some offensive weapons, all under a first time coordinator. There are going to be miscommunications and errors, noise or no noise.

    The rating doesn't tell you much. He didn't look his best out there, and probably could have been picked a couple more times.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Yes certainly, Chicago is the only stadium that is loud when the home team has the ball. It's the fans fault how disorganized and sloppy they've been for so long. Makes lots of sense.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    Leave Prior out of it, Tex was the better call then.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    Wasting timeouts in the redzone is no big deal? The Bears offense has been wasting timeouts in the red zone home and away in the Lovie era because they have been a poorly coached/organized/disciplined unit. The coaching staff obviously doesn't value time outs and doesn't mind using them in the 1st and 3rd quarter, so it's going to happen. Don't blame the fans for the Bears shortcomings.

    Bernstein is an idiot for making that a topic. Why? The fact that our dumbass fanbase can't get it in their head to shut up while we are on offense is a pretty big, frustrating, deal. It's not a big deal at all and it's really stupid that people waste time talking about it as some sort of issue.

    After yesterday I figured the line for this game would come in a little from a 6-8 point spread, and GB would then cover. It's 5 now. I love that they won week 1 and that GB lost a home game. But as it pertains to this game I hate it. The old way of thinking about the more desperate team having the advantage, plus GB being at home and Chicago still working out the kinks makes me think they should take this one.

    I would bet there are not, as pretty much everybody realizes they aren't serious about the dual fronts thing and they won't be doing anything of note to the major league team.

    Is he just automatically placed on waivers by virtue of being a really old AAA player and the AAA season ending?
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Your sig is the dumbest thing in human history.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    bigger win total spread, but not a bigger w% spread.

    Probably just talk, but if Sveum plans on Soriano, DeJesus, and Garza all being part of the 2013 opening day roster, I'm not sure how much improvement can be made for next years team without significant free agent signings. I expect all those guys on the OD roster next year as well (especially Garza as his value is way down due to not pitching since June). I don't think anyone should be expecting the 2013 team to be much better than the 2012 team I don't really take much at all from a list of names Sveum gave in response to who he is confident will be on the team next year. I doubt he's giving out management's game plan for who is on the trade market and who is not. It's probably just a list of names he knows are worthy of MLB roster status.

    There's nothing interesting about that at all. A sane owner approves that trade 101 times out of 100. Not all sane owners are in the same situation. The Red Sox have been big spenders and are a big revenue team. While we as fans often fantasize about "blowing up" a team and starting from scratch, in real life there are considerations that trump that. One is putting a passable product on the field. I think getting rid of Crawford and Beckett was outstanding. If the price was trading A. Gonzalez for prospects, still a good baseball move. But the totality of the salaries involved is large. You know my economic thoughts, Magic Johnson lives in a different world, new guy wants to make a splash etc. But what is Henry thinking? I'm just curious. He's thinking he had the opportunity to off load bloated contracts from a faltering team, so he took that opportunity.

    September 3-9? There's a poster specifically about one week of practice?
