  1. Their wins and losses under Williams aren't that impressive for a big-market team in a small-market division. Beat out Hendry's cubs pretty easily.
  2. Your point does not stand because his struggles have caused people who pay attention to significantly reduce their expectations for Jackson and he has fallen down many a list. Kyle isn't pointing out anything that everybody else doesn't already know.
  3. Suburbs are not under the jurisdiction of the city. You want to get out of Chicago and cook county. Although in reality you probably want out of Illinois.
  4. The coaching staff or the personnel staff? The line's biggest problem is a lack of ability. They are stocked with garbage talent. You can only coach up the line a limited amount. Now, Tice hasn't exactly done anything of note to make lemonade out of these lemons, but they are lemons. Soft, squishy, bitter and easily peeled lemons.
  5. Let's hope the doctor was thinking the same thing.
  6. No, I'm asking is it possible to stay extremely close, but escape the tax? As in, if there's a place right outside the limits that could work and us escape the tax, yet keep the same fan base and all still able to see the games. I don't realy see how that wasn't understandable the first time. So you are asking a geography question. The answer is yes.
  7. I wish. But there's just no way they'd be that gutsy and no one would take them seriously. Without knowing anything about the inner workings of the city, how close could they conceivably build a stadium and escape the tax? Huh? Are you asking a geography question?
  8. Not really. There was lots of hate before that happened. And while the specific way he went about it was new, there's nothing really unique about hating a supposedly me-first star player who can't win in big games and leaves his original team for better opportunity to win.
  9. Ricketts has already made a sizable profit on the Cubs from the absolutely silly amounts being spent on sports franchises since his purchase. That is very much an unrealized profit.
  10. I'm not seeing the Lebron comparison, cuz there's very unique reasons behind the Lebron hate. But generally I agree. I don't see what is so unique about it.
  11. Jeez. Man up and realize that that franchise ain't even on our level and thinks about it every single day, (and let our lil homies ride on em). They're all LOOK AT ME because they're the neglected red-headed step child. how are they not on our level? i guess if the only way we evaluate levels is by tickets sold or team value we're better, but their team is better right now and has won a world series recently. And yet nobody cares. The Marlins won a World Series as well.
  12. Although Baez has shown flashes, has there ever been a prospect who, at the time he was drafted, scouts and writers said he'd eventually have to move off a position and he DIDN'T move off that position? I think it's only a matter of time, and given the gaping hole at third base I'm OK with it. I'm sure there's been a guy who didn't have to move after people said he'd have to. Lots of people said Castro couldn't stick at SS when he was 18/19 but he clearly can.
  13. All season. Well technically, through week 16. Week 17 everybody plays on Sunday afternoon. I hate when my team plays on Thursday night, but I love Thursday night football.
  14. that works in all photos that do not depict him with his helmet on mid play.
  15. Ehh... He's gotten to the age/experience level where a player doesn't often go back to Instructs. If Billy Madison could repeat elementary school then Hayden Simpson can go back to instructional league.
  16. gotta love how absolutely pathetic the offensive line is, how the management and coaching staff has literally done nothing to address the matter, and the focus is on if Jay Cutler is too mean to a 6'7" 350 lb. [expletive] who can't do his job.
  17. That is an incredibly stupid statement. aside from a few years in the mid 2000's, its not that far off It's very far off. They were a joke in the mid-90's. Since then they have been among the more successful franchises in the league. They've frustratingly failed to seize the opportunity to be great, but they aren't a joke.
  18. That is an incredibly stupid statement.
  19. That sounds like a bunch of BS to me. That's what you get for checking out PFT. That's exactly the type of thing Florio writes about every situation.
  20. Tice was awful. You have to give Marshall the ball, even for simply 3-4 yard gains, early. But the line is that bad. The best lineman on the team isn't playing. They make stupid mistakes every time they even pretend to threaten to move the ball.
  21. you do Ok, what big games has he played great in? Hit stats are [expletive] against our biggest rival and threat to making the playoffs and hits stats are [expletive] in prime time games. I'll give I'm the Seattle playoff game, but god that team was awful After 3 years of the same old [expletive], I'd have zero poise as well. The bears are woefully slow at getting jake what he needs. I wouldnt be surprised if he goes elsewhere at the end of if contract who cares what Jake needs?
  22. Is it too late to get Martz back?
  23. Just when we thought the offense had it all figured out now the once stable line is suddenly showing signs of weakness. You can't prepare for that stuff. Who knew?
