  1. I know nothing of the broadcasting business, but I have to imagine it would be quite difficult to break this type of news, and in a matter of seconds/minutes check on what your first commercial is and change it if innappropriate.
  2. deadspin has a clip up of how sportscenter broke the story. They went to some sad version of the baseball tonight song, then the first commercial was nascar drivers talking about the thrill of being in a crash.
  3. I hope they don't. They also still have Wolfe as a backup too. Wolfe is worthless. Jones lessens the need, but he doesn't eliminate it. If they can get a talented guy in the 4th or 5th, there's no reason to pass it up. Backup RBs often play on special teams, and the Bears can use help there.
  4. I dunno, how often should you expect a random sampling of 750 healthy, in shape 20-40 year olds to die during a 6 month period? 750 healthy, financially well off 20-40 year olds in America, nonetheless. i don't think a person's financial status or arm strength would save them in a car crash. No, but it's probably a factor in their mortality rate, no? This wasn't just a discussion about car crashes, I thought you were just talking about a death of any kind.

  6. I highly doubt there is going to be much of that. 12:30 after a night game is hardly even late. If it happened at 4, I'm sure some people would have something to say about that.
  7. It seems like there is at least one a year.
  8. The bolded part has me intrigued. Was this a major leaguer? I cant imagine a pitcher just coming off a game would have a minor leaguer with him, but I guess its possible. It doesn't have to be a player. You could be talking about a bullpen catcher, strength coach, or any number of people.
  9. I find it odd that as of 11:41 eastern, ESPN.com still has nothing on this story, while several media outlets are reporting it.
  10. http://www.ktla.com/landing/?blockID=262344&feedID=171 http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/04/3-killed.html
  11. Ross Fisher off to the early lead at -4 thru 12.
  12. the sports sites don't have this but latimes.com has picked it up as a headline.
  13. wow, and I just read that a fan was killed there on Opening day.
  14. I'd like to see them call-up Cutler, he'll make everything better.
  15. Wonder how antsy you are going to get sitting for 10 hours before the Bears first pick.
  16. You aren't the only person to pretend that nonsense has value, so I won't hold it against you, or any other knuckle dragging WWE fans. But it's really idiotic to think something like that helps a sport. Value? What are you talking about? My comment was clearly tongue in cheek in how over the top it was (why would anyone seriously think a weird reliever "makes baseball better" and how would that even mke any sense?) and referring to how I find his quirks entertaining. Weird, "crazy" players have always been around and they entertain me regardless of who they play for. Though classy move on your part declaring me to be an idiot and a wrestling fan just becase Valverde offends your delicate senibilities and someone else dares to not be annoyed by him. So now you admit what you said was untrue?
  17. Do you just absolutely refuse to recognize how he finished last year?
  18. I'm starting to sour on Robiske a little. I like him. But I think I like Iglesias better. I think Iglesias is actually a better route runner and is great after the catch. The west coast offense needs guys who can make plays after the catch. It is predicated on short passes and west coast teams tend to get big yards by getting their WRs the ball in space. One thing I want to point out though is if people didn't want Harvin because he was too much like Hester.....I think Iglesias is a lot like Bennett. Similar size. Similar lack of blazing speed. Both produced in college. Robiske will be a decent WR, but I don't think he is the best fit. Kenny Britt would easily be my #1 choice though of the guys who have a chance at being there at 49. You phrased the response I was trying to formulate in my head. The Bears don't need a receiver who can go a few yards, catch the ball and fall down. They need guys who can get yards after catch, especially drafting on the first day. Olsen and Clark are two good guys for the get out there and catch a pass role. They don't need a WR to do the same thing. They need another guy who can be a weapon.
  19. I can't get to youtube from work...but was it intentional? or a mis-hit that he got lucky on? I just watched the video and I couldn't tell. NBC doesn't have cameras running on Masters Wednesday? NBC doesn't have anything to do with Masters. I thought I read something that players routinely play around trying to skip the ball off the water there on practice days.
  20. You aren't the only person to pretend that nonsense has value, so I won't hold it against you, or any other knuckle dragging WWE fans. But it's really idiotic to think something like that helps a sport. lol...what? how does it hinder a sport? he pumps his fist, big freaking deal A, he doesn't pump his fist B, I was pointing out how ridiculous it is to suggest baseball is better off with such antics, didn't say anything about hindering.

  22. Blackhawks. It's only a few more weeks. Is there some problem with CSN+? Is it not HD? CSN+ makes no difference to me. It's still HD and better than WGN since directv doesn't get the HD version of WGN.
  23. I think the Bears offense was hindered by the fact that they had receivers who were good enough to succeed with a quality QB throwing to them and a QB who was good enough to succeed if he had a decent line and/or better receivers to throw to. The improved line and significantly improved QB are going to make a fairly large difference this year, in my opinion. Those two things will make the Bears current receivers better.
