    @Det would be the only other place I could even conceive of them being favored...and that would depend a whole lot on the Bears winning some games between now and then. They will be coming off Vikings, Dolphins, Eagles, potential 3 (or even 4) game losing streak. I don't see them winning in Miami on short rest. So it's going to take either a decisive win against one of those three or a win against Philly to give people a reason to back the Bears.

    This should be the last time the Bears are favored this season. And I don't really think they should be favored this week, at least not by 3.

    Very easily

    I just think they don't really have a problem with his mindset. They've never fully embraced the concept, have always had a soft spot for aggressive toolsy guys and have a lot riding on him. The way they have promoted him, as soon as he enjoys some success, suggests to me they are looking for any excuse to promote him rather than having some real strategy of forcing him to struggle.

    I'm sure he wants to I doubt he thinks he can or will insist he must.

    There was talk of him being a potential team president for the Cubs, and that is what I would have liked to see, based largely on what he did in paving the way for Oakland to be great for a decade under his successor.

    2008 6th rounder, that was the Kyle Beach draft. Probably just a cheap steady guy. Played 4 year at Boston College.
  8. jersey cubs fan
    unsurprisingly, I've never heard of him.

    I have the worst best player on the list

    Is Sabean that bad? The Zito signing was horrible, obviously. Lincecum, Posey, and Bumgarner were top 10 picks, sure, but it's not like the top 10 doesn't have a fair amount of flameouts. Hitting on three players of that caliber in a 3 year span isn't very common. Which only goes to show you how lucky they were.

    If it was Casey at the door I could see somebody assuming they were getting punked by imposters. But if it was anybody who heard the Julius Peppers story, I'd assume they would just take their chances it was legit. Then again, maybe they heard Peppers wasn't there and backed out because the rest of them are cheap.

    http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/10/briggs-suspects-race-behind-bears-nightclub-snub.html Lance, it's probably because you guys suck. A bunch of Bears players got denied at a club where baby Urlacher had reserved tables for a rookie night event. They were on a party bus when Casey went to the door but they were turned away because there were too many dudes and no chicks. Briggs thinks race may have played a role but Idonije says it wasn't and the place is a great club. oh, and if anybody else wants to start a new thread for the next game, whenever and wherever that may be, please feel free.

    i'm not sure if something criminal happened or not. fairly sure that's why they have investigations. i'm amazed you can make that determination. oh wait, you're just speculating. nm Sounds like you're just as certain that ND isn't guilty of criminal negligence when you say that it's just meaningless message board banter to characterize it that way. where did I say it was meaningless banter to characterize anything? I said it was message board fist pounding to want the "hammer dropped" (at least in part b/c no one knows what really happened yet). The hammer talk isn't very clear but you have adopted the message board apologist stance. It seems to me very likely that something criminal happened. If they practiced indoors because of dangerous conditions then went outside the next day under same conditions and sent a kid into a structure that is not supposed to be used under those conditions it seems pretty clear to me that something criminal happened.

    I don't see the point in talking about Guzman. But no, they don't need him. A move like this could push Cashner back into the rotation picture. A Wood-Marshall-Marmol tandem would look pretty good even if Marshall regresses a little. That's a good point. If they need to sign somebody like Wood in order to send Cashner back into the rotation, then maybe it's worth the risk and money.

    But from the sounds of things something criminal happened.

    He may have been barely holding on to decent status at the time. He'd be terrible now. WHOA, BOLD PREDICTION. Yeah, sorry. I wasn't trying to accurately predict how he would play today. I was pointing out that when he left he was already part of the problem.

    http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/10/hawks-hossa-to-miss-two-weeks-with-injury.html Chicago plays 7 games over the next 2 weeks, 4 of which are on back to back nights. They have played the most games in the league, as many as 5 more than other teams and 4 more than many other teams.

    What is the context of this? I don't get the point of the gif but did you not know the play? Kinsler gets on base with lucky infield single, throw is off course, Huff makes a diving play and Kinsler stupidly turned to 2nd despite his run being meaningless with a 4 run deficit. So he was tagged out.

    http://deadspin.com/5675694/prelude-to-a-tragedy-how-a-notre-dame-student-died-and-why-he-shouldnt-have Damn. They held practice indoors the day before, went out in the same winds, and the kid tweeted that he was going to die in those winds. This is a serious problem. I hadn't read much about it before.

    Looks like he signed a 3/$9m deal.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    I am indifferent toward him, but that is how I feel about most coaches in baseball. It's the talent that matters.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    I would call what he has done trying on occasion but ultimately just patching. John Tait wasn't a washed up vet. Fred Miller was declining, but he still played for 4 years and probably had 1.5-2 good years with the team. His first pick was a tackle. He drafted another in the first round as well. There isn't another position that he has drafted twice in the first round. He tried a little, thought he settled everything with the Tait/Miller/Garza era, but then got caught with his pants down when those guys declined in a hurry. He should not have been surprised by that, but apparently he was. When he got screwed was when he drafted Dusty, Bazuin and Wolfe in 2005 and 2006 when he thought the line was set. Those picks should have netted 2 offensive linemen. And again in 2009 he should have picked up another linemen. He has tried, he's just failed because he was complacent with the notion that the same guys could get the job done every year. It was a dumb predictable disaster (THAT I FREAKING PREDICTED 4 YEARS AGO!!!)
