    Maybe and maybe not. They do have some talent. But a lot of that talent is either unproven (Knox, Williams, Aromashodu, Omiyale), inconsistent (T Harris, Bowman, Manning, Cutler, Forte), or coming off of a major injury (Urlacher, Tinoisamoa). That's why this team is so all over the place. And they have very limited talent on the 5 man position of offensive line, which can sink any team.

    So wait, are you saying Football and the NFL aren't the most popular sport and league in the country? I'm saying it's not obvious. What sport do you think is close in popularity to the NFL? Baseball. NFL gets great ratings/attendance for 35 days a year So are you saying baseball is more popular, or that football is more popular but it's closer than some people think so I'm going to pretend it's not obvious.

    Yeah, that's the first time I've ever seen that. Lots of people have given Hendry somewhat of a pass on Soriano by saying the suits made him do it. People have speculated on it because it does make sense based on what else was happening at the time, but it's never been backed up before by somebody who may know how it actually happened. The media has made mention of it on numerous occasions.

It's very obvious. A lack of sellouts at a handful of venues is meaningless in the grand scheme of how we watch sports.

    He lambasted the Bears, calling them one of the worst teams in the league, terrible, horrible, blahblahblah, and then one week later says they are undervalued and his "hmmmmmmm team" from week 1. Yeah...I think that's more of admission that he was wrong (or at least potentially wrong) last week though (though he doesn't outright say that...was just how I read it.) I don't think so. He's been ragging them for a good year, not just critiquing, but saying things like "we think the Bears are terrible right" in his guess the lines podcasts. This is how he does things. He'll refer to a team as terrible but then say they are intriguing, and if the Bears turn out good he'll say he saw it coming in week 1. He thinks he's a gambling savant.

    Except for the fact that most people prefer watching on TV. Not to mention that the bad seats in many NFL stadiums will cost you over $100 a ticket. I don't believe this. Bad seats at the new Meadowlands are $150.

    I think last week's game summarizes this Bears season. On one hand they played well enough to have blown out the Lions, on the other hand they didn't, and probably should have lost. Likewise, my thoughts on this game mirror my thoughts on this season. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they beat the Cowboys, but I wouldn't be surprised if they lose by 2 touchdowns either. I just don't know what the hell this team is going to do.

    He's the king of the retroactive "saw that one coming" comment about everything in sports and gambling.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Well I disagree. It's rare, and every year everybody acts all surprised that there aren't any interesting races. The White Sox fans may have had some hope two weeks ago, but September is a long time and they've been out of it for pretty much the entire month. They pretended this last series was meaningful, but it really wasn't.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    Well yeah, a fan of a team running away with a division is going to enjoy that, unless you're a Braves or Yankees fan.

    The NFL also doesn't rely much on ticket sales for revenues. Hockey needs butts in seats to operate. The NFL does not.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    yeah, I enjoy great races, but we don't have much of that this season. I still watch baseball during the week, but I'm not as interested as I was a few months ago or as I will be in October. A good race is rare. The default is anticlimactic September.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Correct. There are a ton of running plays at the goaline where the whistle doesn't blow until the ball has already been knocked loose or they can get into the pile. So you have no point.

    There's a difference between understanding that the call was correct, but disagreeing with the rule...and thinking it should have been called a TD. The screenshot he linked didn't say anything about disagreeing with the rule. Just that it should have been a TD...which of course, by rule, it shouldn't have been. The more I've read about it the less I think the rule needs to be changed. Johnson lost control of the ball. Had he held on, it's a TD. You can't really make the rule specific enough to differentiate between plays that should be a TD, and plays that shouldn't. Just catch the ball and keep it, and it's a TD. Worry about the celebration later, and style points don't exist. You can't compare it to the runner who crosses the plane, because the difference between a run and a pass is huge. On a run, the ball is never going to be dead until the whistle blows. Except for all the times when they rule that the ball was dead before the whistle blew. What does that mean? Are you talking about when a runner goes down?

    i really have no idea what dyar, but id' say both of them played relatively well. does dyar factor in the route that knox broke off on, which he does every single week at least once getting his qb picked off or almost picked off? Cutler said that was his fault.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    I'm pretty sure he wasn't calling your "he played well" statement hyperbole.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Your reaction to people pointing out his bad plays is where hyperbole came into play.

    He said all this while his family is in Venezuela dealing with a health scare from his young nephew. I'm not sure how much weight anybody should put into emotional statements about family he makes right now.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    This is true. I know some Yankees fans who don't care about this september. It doesn't matter. A few actually prefer the wild card so they can face Minnesota.
