    I'd bet STL would go to the North. I don't think they'd get their own division. Oh yeah, forgot name. Oops.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/nfl/news/story?id=5868477 More talk of potential Vikings move. If such a thing happens, STL has to go to the Central and LA goes to West, right?

    I skimmed over this thing and I can't believe Chicago was passed over for Kansas City. Miami and San Diego's stadiums are dumps too. Soldier Field isn't great but at least its fairly new. What was the main reason, I remember hearing something but forget what it was. Soldier Field is too small and received bad reviews for site lines after some international game that was held there. They are touting US facilities average capacity is 76,000, Soldier Field is something in the low 60,000s.

    Clinton is up.

    But the deal isn't for a guy who just turned 26, it'll be for a guy who just turned 30. Who was already locked up longterm, just to reiterate that point. If he was a free agent to be in would be justifiable. Now it is not.

    Pittsburgh won with a pretty weak line. They had more WR weapons to somewhat offset the problem, but it was a pretty big problem. I think the key difference is the Pittsburgh defense is more attacking and therefore more capable of shutting down the opponent, whereas the Bears bend but don't break defense is more susceptible to a precision QB picking them apart. Pittsburgh was #1 defense in scoring and yards because they smothered people.

    If they do lose focus, it won't be because Lovie did. Don't forget this man is still coaching for his job. If they collapse and finish 8-8 or 9-7 to finish the year, he's not gonna be returning. I figured before the season 8-8 would save his job, and I'm not sure that it won't now. Losing 5 straight to end the season may be enough, but given the CBA situation 1 more win may be plenty for him to stay.

    Hendry gave up a first round pick for Latroy Hawkins. They've spent first round picks on guys most people saw going in the comp or second round. He's decided to pass on offering arbitration when he could have gotten first round picks. I highly doubt he's passed on a guy he likes because of draft picks.

    Shaun Hill didn't practice and Drew Stanton took #1 reps.

    After all that I would still bet on Pittsburgh if they faced off in a neutral site.

    Yes there is a difference. Seymour punched a guy in the face unprovoked while Johnson got in a fight that was provoked by another player. Seymour wasn't unprovoked. Seymour didn't punch a guy. Okay, you keep thinking that. If you choose to pretend not to know why he wasn't suspended then that's your right. If you choose to continue to be wrong, that's also your right. One was a sucker punch and the other was two men fighting. Are you being serious?

    I was completely conflicted on the Soriano contract. I hated the deal as a whole but was happy they at least had a quality bat in the OF. It was something like being resigned to the fact that Hendry's inability to get hitters before 2007 meant we pretty much had to accept Soriano if we wanted to see them do anything the next couple years.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    No he doesn't. He didn't do anything as a Cub that he didn't do before being a Cub. I undervalued his ability to perform in the AL East.

    I'm not going to quote whole threads. Go back and read them. Very few were in favor. Most of those quotes were from a thread where the OP suggested Lilly might be a good signing. For one, nobody knew at the time just how much they had to spend. And two, when the dust settled people were generally pleased with Lilly at least in comparison to the other signings. And three, Ted Lilly was good before he became a Cubs so the whole point of this discussion in the first place is nonexistent.

    I hadn't thought about the time zone thing before. I don't see how that is valid when they've already done Japan/Korea and are considering China very soon as well. It's not that you'd never have one there, but it's an obstacle to overcome relative to bids in more friendly time zones. Sure, but you are essentially talking about the same type of people who hand out olympic bids and they didn't have a problem going to the area of the world on multiple occasions.

    Ditto Ted Lilly. You could also make a case for Randy Wells considering he was an after-thought as a prospect back in the day. Ted Lilly was a damn fine pitcher long before he became a Cub. Nobody was saying that when we signed him. Most saw him as an inconsistent back-end starter that Hendry overpaid for. Lilly was largely applauded, Marquis was the one people hated. And the Soriano contract.

    True, as I think we still with with or without Gore, but this just makes it easier. Hopefully. You really don't need it any easier. Green Bay has manhandled just about every bad team they've faced. And San Francisco is as bad as any team they have faced with or without Gore and his three rushing touchdowns.

    That's what they need to focus on, but not me. I need to see a prolonged stretch of solid play before I put this team back toward the top.

    They have 9 games over the next three weeks. I think they need to pull off a 7-2 type stretch if they want to realistically be considered among the top NHL teams. 4-2 road trips are nice, but when you struggle to win more than 2 in a row that's a problem. The best they've done this year was 4, but they went to OT in 2 of those games to conference foes, negating some of the benefit. They will be approaching the halfway point after this three week stretch, with or without Hossa, and if they can't get themselves to a better points/game pace, they are going to be in a fight for the last couple playoff spots.

    Tom Brady is endorsign Uggs. http://cdn.ksk.uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/tom-brady-uggs.jpg

    How likely do you think it is that reporters will stop asking that question, in that situation? I guess it seems to me like you are asking for something to happen that won't ever happen. I would guess that in every single game somebody on the losing side smiles while on the sideline and 99% of the time nobody asks them why in the press conference.
