  1. BUT MICHIGAN AND PENN STATE WIN 10 GAMES EVERY YEAR!!!
  2. ACC already took those.
  3. Legends is terrible as well.
  4. Seriously, those are the divisions? That is terrible.
  5. They should have steared clear of early 90's expansion team color schemes.
  6. What is the significance of that logo? Looks pretty ugly to me.
  7. Early 6 point favorites against the Lions.
  8. I'm counting on a Bears win over the exposed Jets the day after Christmas. That team just isn't anything special and shouldn't provide too big of a threat unless Sanchez somehow completely turns it around. Plus, they could get the crap beat out of them physically against the Steelers and then face a completely different defense the next week. I think Chicago loses in Green Bay on the last week, which is why I think it all comes down to this Minnesota game. Obviously things can change, but the way they stand right now, this is as close to a do or die game as they can have without it literally being a playoff game.
  9. I don't think it's that hard to assume Green Bay will beat the Giants and Chicago at home. They probably shouldn't even bother having him play at New England and just hope he can come back strong for those last two. They moved the ball okay and lost a big fumble by a receiver and another receiver turned a huge pass into an INT. And Rodgers didn't finish the half in that game. They almost certainly win if he stays healthy.
  10. I don't see Tampa winning 2 more, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them lose all 3. I honestly don't see them beating Detroit, and I doubt they do anything in New Orleans. I see them beating Detroit and Seattle at home and losing in New Orleans, unless the Saints have nothing to play for (which is something Chicago can't count on in their final game). Tampa's been pretty bad to nearly average at home this season, which is why losing all 3 wouldn't surprise me much. It could happen, but I wouldn't count on it.
  11. Do you not have the internet? It's a noon game on CBS but I'm not sure if they have done the flex scheduling for that week.
  12. I don't see Tampa winning 2 more, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them lose all 3. I honestly don't see them beating Detroit, and I doubt they do anything in New Orleans. I see them beating Detroit and Seattle at home and losing in New Orleans, unless the Saints have nothing to play for (which is something Chicago can't count on in their final game).
  13. I think Duncan has a history of getting the most out of second rate talents. Rothschild does not. He's had an amazing array of pitching talent to work with as Cubs pitching coach, as the Cubs have poured a ton of resources into pitching talents for nearly two decades now. I don't think they've come close to outperforming their ability.
  14. The real bummer is that even if Minnesota pulls off the upset vs the Giants tonight, and then the Giants crap out the rest of the season to fall behind Chicago, Tampa has 2 easy wins coming up and will probably be ahead of Chicago if they manage to lose to Minnesota.
  15. That was a joke.
  16. In theory. But a loss next week really makes it tough. Green Bay may lose next week, but they are likely to win their last 2 games. The Bears should be the fully exposed Jets at home the day after Christmas, but they will probably lose at Green Bay. So if they lose to Minnesota as they usually do, Green Bay is still in position to take the division and Chicago will likely miss the playoffs with the Giants and Saints most likely to take wild card spots. I think it comes down to this game, regardless Green Bay's result in New England.
  17. The Vikings are theoretically a 1.5 point favorite in this game, although that line is off and probably will be at least until they figure out what city they will play the game in. Now this is a must win. A loss here after that embarrassing no show by just about everybody in the snow would put them back into the position of needing help to make the playoffs if/when they give up division to Green Bay. The defense was at its absolute most pathetic. They played like they did in the first half vs Detroit, all game long. It was Arizona @ Chicago 2009 all over again, but instead of unseasoanbly warm conditions, it was cold and snowy in December, what a shock. That game was pretty much everything I feared once this team finally played a consistently solid QB like Brady. And Cutler's picks were almost a guarantee once they went down big and got desperate. Maybe the defense needed a "shut the hell up" game, but my impression is most of these guys will just blow off this result as meaningless given Green Bay's loss, the conditions and other nonsense. The offense remains a work in progress. They still can't run the ball. Hopefully they figure things out in a hurry and Minnesota is somehow negatively affected by their own personal snow bound fiasco. Chicago was bound to lose one of these late season games and they probably have another loss in them somewhere. But this one better not be it.
  18. Isn't he like the 3rd or 4th highest ranking official in the Hurricanes athletic department.
  19. Remember when every player wanted to play for the Cubs, which coincedently ended when Hendry lost his bottomless money pit? Do we really want a player that "remains excited" about the Nationals? We probably shouldn't want a player that remains excited about the Cubs, but we have to take what we can get.
  20. Welcome back 2009 Chicago Bears.
  21. Huh, he doesn't indicate why he thinks it would be a "certainty". Just because the Cubs could use him in the Central doesnt mean that the Rays have to trade him if they don't see good value. Not sure how Price came to that conclusion. Huh? A source told Ed Price they were certain he would be traded. They aren't going to explain why they feel that way.
  22. Santo's was more childish enthusiasm, whereas Hawk is a jerk. His proclamations are tough guy smack talk and then he complains about bad calls when things go wrong. Ron would just seem to question the baseball gods about why the Cubs sucked.

  24. I think it was clearly his worst. Not sure if that was because of how pathetic the Cubs were, but people commented all the time how bad Ron sounded. If you like what he did he was at his best in the late 90's/early 2000s, when the Cubs were in contention and he had more energy. He would get confused, but not as badly as he did this year. I really feared he'd die on air this past season.
  25. his performance has nothing to do with what spot in the lineup he bats. His career splits don't agree with you. So when do we use stats and when don't we? Ok, over a 162 game schedule we can expect certain things from Marlon based on his career averages. None of his numbers would suggest he is the type of hitter most people would bat 3rd. While I would agree he is far from the type of guy you would ideally put in the three spot (kind of like most Cubs) his splits in different spots in the order are just meaningless.
