    In large part because they can't tackle worth a [expletive] or stop anybody at any point on the field. Are you blind? Seattle is raping the Bears defense and their offense sucks.

    And Jerry had plenty of time to put together some semblance of a solid line knowing you had Martz coming in whose offenses rack up a ton of sacks. The line has been bad since the 2nd half of 2006. Right, but my point was that it had to be even more of a priority with the Martz offense coming in. By then it was too late.

    The defense is fine for the most part. It's hard to keep playing well when the offenses longest drive is like 6 plays, and then after that like 4 plays. No, the defense was giving up plays left and right from the start today. They aren't good. They are occasionally opportunistic, but not good. They gave up a TD on the first drive. That's allowed to happen. Next 3 drives were 4 plays 10 yards, 3 plays, -1 yards, 3 plays 8 yards. Then the Bears started going 3 and out on every play and the D tired. I'm not saying the D played great today, but they haven't been at all the problem. The defense has been weak from the start of today's game. There's no ifs ands or buts. It's been bad for 3 years, and it's bad right now.

    And Jerry had plenty of time to put together some semblance of a solid line knowing you had Martz coming in whose offenses rack p a ton of sacks. Yes and no. He's had a decade to fix the line that he ignored. But by the time Martz showed up their fate was set in stone. The line sucks and it has for four years. You can't fix that in one offseason. You have to address the line every single draft and every single year. It's the single most important position group on the field. You need 1 QB, you need 5 OL.

    they have to stop blitzing. Nobody is getting there, and they never do, plus they blitz from 5 yards deep and run right into blockers chest.

    I know I'm not breaking news, but this line is terrible. It was always going to be terrible because they ignored it. That freaking pisses me off so much. Because it was obvious 5 years ago. And the defense is not good.

    I'd take 3rd/10 over 2nd/20

    tillman is not good

    I think Michigan St. is a very interesting situation. They don't play Ohio St. And the only challenge they have left is at Iowa. With no conference championship game, if they go undefeated they will have won the Big Ten without playing arguably its best team. The Michigan win gets weaker every week, leaving Wisconsin and potentially Iowa as its only signature wins. I don't think you can say that those 2 wins are better than Boise's potential body of work, which includes VT, Oregon St, and Nevada. Or TCU who could have wins over Oregon St, Utah, and Air Force. Really? VT, Oregon State and Nevada are unimpressive. I'd take the ND, UM, IA, WI, NU body of work over either of those in a heartbeat.

    Yeah, the vast majority of NYers don't have any discernible accent. It's out on Long Island and in Staten Island where the crazy ones are. South Jersey sounds like Philly (which is bad) and pockets of North Jersey have some. But seriously, I was stunned with how atrocious the Chicago accent sounds on women after living away from there for several years.

    Eh...she was ok. The show was obnoxious because of North and Jiggetts, she was actually ok. http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/.a/6a00d8341c60fd53ef0120a7ad5695970b-300wi You get your studio enhanced glamour shots and the rest http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/deadspin/2010/10/screen_shot_2010-10-15_at_12.59.27_pm_01.png Plus I could not stand her voice. The female Chicago accent absolutely kills me now that I don't live there any longer.

    While I agree with the sentiment, Tommie isn't really all that injury prone. The injury excuse stopped being valid a couple seasons ago. He's just declined.

    http://deadspin.com/5664923/chicago-reporter-fired-possibly-for-dating-a-player I read this morning that Jen Patterson was fired from CSN, didn't even know she was still on at the station. Now it says it's from banging Nick Boynton. I heard her on that obnoxious Mike North show and didn't see the appeal.

    Better than already being the manager. Plus, there's the slim chance that actually spending a year or two in a 21st century big league dugout will change his mind about bunting every at bat.

    They aren't a particularly good team but they play in possibly the only stadium in the league with a homefield advantage the past few years, and face the worst division in the league.

    Wow. I would love to read the thread where somebody said that curve balls didn't actually curve. not a thread, some physicist or somebody made the claim a long time ago. Don't remember details.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    I would think so.

    Headline in the Metro this morning for a story about what the Yankees need to do to beat Cliff Lee Hit a Pitch made me giggle

  22. jersey cubs fan
    Wait I thought they didn't actually curve at all.

    I don't see how it would and I don't see why it would matter. It's not like this minor league system is rolling along like gangbusters.

    Not necessarily. Keeping Hendry could mean Ricketts thinks the cost of firing him doesn't outweigh the benefits right now. Not really. He's only signed through 2012 and in sports people are regularly canned with time remaining in their contracts. Additionally, the decisions that Hendry makes now will affect the team further into the future. Any rational owner would fire a guy if he didn't want him to be the GM. Ricketts has not fired Jim Hendry and that means he wants him to be the GM.
