    But what about by a man dressed as a woman?

    They opened camp this past weekend and play a game this coming Saturday. Opening day is just 18 days away, when they face off against Florida in Helsinki at 11am central time. The roster is pretty much set with only the backup goalie a real competition. Hossa is out until November but supposedly progressing well.

    Blackhawks just opened camp this weekend and their first preseason game is on Saturday.

    Call me crazy but Urlacher isn't the best or most important defensive player, and losing him isn't as bad as losing a couple other guys on this team. Cutler, Forte, Harris and Briggs could all be bigger losses. They are deep at LB. It's a blow, but it shouldn't prevent them from being a team that can win its division if the rest of the defense stays solid and the offense improves.

    Damn, I was worrying about that when he was just standing on the sideline all game.

    He was horrible once again. Turner has had all sorts of time and all sorts of QBs to work with as a pro OC and he's shown nothing to this point. If he somehow screws the pooch with Cutler around it would have to be the end of his time here, right? GB lost a DB or two on that late drive when they had to settle for a FG and it was ridiculous how Turner refused to exploit that fact. He went all pass happy crazy throughout most of the game then completely shut down into ultra-conservative typical Bears offense when they got anywhere close to the end zone.

    Last I saw Pittsburgh was favored by 2.5 but it might be off the board right now with multiple injuries. Urlacher is going to have some sort of wrist surgery, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was out until after the bye week (three more games). Polamalu being out is a big help for the passing game, but Cutler can throw picks to anybody.

    I prefer 1:00 since I can get a little more sleep. But year, the early Sunday kickoffs are the absolute best gamedays. And the Bears don't get a 2nd one until late October.

    If he was a good defender, I'd be okay with his lack of productivity. But this remains a very expensive ballclub with far too many shortcomings, and they need all the help they can get.

    Seriously, this is taking too long. I want football now. And it better not be any of that unfair overtime nonsense football.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    No, what I'm saying is all the whiny babies who cry about OT being unfair are completely ridiculous and they need to shut up. Nobody is being robbed of anything. It is fair. Everybody has the same chance, they had the same chance when they took the field that day (discounting HFA, weather conditions, health, etc) and they had the same change when regulation ended. If you lose in OT, too bad, you lost a football game. If you cry about losing in OT, you are an idiot. Yeah, that's a poor argument. It's fair because you say so. BS. Yes, everyone had a fair chance in regulation, and nobody was able to get it done. OT is essentially it's own game. And someone is getting an unfair advantage. And there's no reason that it has to be that way. If there's a better way to do it, why not do it? What are you opposed to here? Because nobody has a better option. I'm opposed to all the over the top whining every time a game ends in OT. It's ridiculous. It is not unfair. Everybody had the same chance to win the game, and one team did while the other team didn't. Boo freaking hoo. It's people trying to invent a problem where there isn't one. College OT is it's own game. It's own made up game that is not football. NFL OT is pure sudden death end of game that's it.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    It already is fair and yes it absolutely would extend the game much. It's sudden death for a reason.

    First bat off the bench. How often has Lou used Miles in that manner this year?
  15. jersey cubs fan
    What if you are a quick strike team that doesn't have long drives but scores quickly. Or what if you are a defense that isn't afraid to give up yardage because you play for the turnover. Seems unfair to those guys. You didn't outscore your opponent in regulation but you still have a chance to win the game, consider yourself lucky regardless of the outcome of the coin flip.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    As a Cub Harden has essentially averaged 1-1.5 fewer outs per start than his fellow starters.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    One coin toss has a minuscule effect on the game. One does not. People don't talk about the one and they talk about the other. Comparing the two is silly. Once the opening coin toss winner starts winning 60% of the games, that'll be a reasonable comparison It's unreasonable to whine about the coin toss. It's unreasonable, stupid, idiotic, waste of time, ridiculous, etc, etc. THEY HAD 60 FREAKING MINUTES. OT coin flip winners don't win 60% of the games because the vast majority of games are one in regulation when you are supposed to win the damn game instead of playing for a tie and whining about how unfair life is that both teams didn't get to touch the ball.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Completely agree ... the overtime system heavily favors the team that won the coin toss. It's not fair. This isn't college, thisn't is high school, this is the NFL. The Titans had 60 minutes to win the game and they didn't. Just because they didn't win the coin toss, or stop the Steelers when the needed too doesnt mean it's unfair. I truly doubt you'll hear any Titan player complain about th OT rules being unfair. The Titans didn't stop the Steelers in OT and that is ON them, an not the OT rules. The OT rules are fine. Let me ask you this. Are you denying that the coin toss is a factor in determining the winner? The opening coin toss is a factor in determing the winner of any game. This is a very stupid topic that needs to stop being discussed. The people who cry about OT rules every damn time a game goes to OT refuse to acknowledge the simple fact that both teams had 60 minutes to score more than their opponent and that none of their proposals are realistic or better. Football is a long freaking game. The 1:00 games end after 4, the night time games end after midnight on the east coast. Insisting on both teams touching the ball is freaking stupid. They had their chance. Nobody is getting screwed over, nobody is being robbed of anything.

    I'm fairly certain that if Hoff wasn't in there, Fukudome and Bradley would not be batting 1/2.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    Testes on the inside, I hate when that happens. Hurts like a bitch.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    So is everybody bored with football already?
  22. jersey cubs fan
    I have a problem with it. Pre-prime hitters are an incredibly valuable commodity. The only one the Cubs have actually gone out and acquired is Ramirez, whom they got because Pittsburgh couldn't make payroll and had to dump contracts. Add to that their insistence on targeting specific types of players, and quite often the wrong type of player and it's just incredibly frustrating.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    First game of the year and I already have to listen to morons whine about how unfair overtime rules are, completely ignoring the fact that the losing team already had 60 minutes to come away with the win. Shut up already. Games aren't decided by a coin flip.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    I couldn't agree more with the last sentence, although not entirely for the NLCS and WS reasons they list here. The overpaying for for offense is definitely a part of it. Identifying some senseless factor like LH middle of the order bat or speed etc. instead of just getting good ballplayers is the biggest reason. To their credit though, that's kind of been the plan all along. They decided that in order to be like Atlanta they'd draft/develop pitchers and trade for/sign bats. It hasn't worked out all that great, other than the pitchers part. They have been at the bottom of the league in runs scored for much of the decade. Hopefully the Wilken guys do better.
