  3. Eh. I'm happy to see them in a playoff game. They wouldn't be better off if they came up short. It's always been a good chance that Nagy/Pace will have a chance to select a QB in the 2021 draft, considering the timing of Nagy coming in after Mitch was already here. Unless Mitch takes them deep in the playoffs, they aren't going to need to give him a crazy deal. It will be something they can get out of in a year. If they show no progress in 2021 then they will be in a better position to clean house top to bottom and allow a new GM/Prez type to figure it out.
  4. Jags make it official https://www.jaguars.com/news/statement-from-jaguars-owner-shad-khan-x3220
  5. Black Monday deserves its own thread
  6. Won’t mean anything since these kids won’t be up until the CBA following that one.
  7. Gonna be tough for Ervin to start in LF after he’s DFA this summer.
  8. And now Toews to miss the start of the season
  9. I’m ready to do the same and then start embracing the tank If it's true they're getting major leaguers back, doesn't seem to be a very ambitious tank effort. Bad major leaguers lose Major League Baseball games, which is a major component of tanking
  10. Kirby Dach is either about to miss the season with a broken wrist or has a sprained finger
  11. Alright I'll bite. Oversimplifying? Sure. But the players and the businesses both received less revenue than expected (and contractually guaranteed) while maintaining a certain level of fixed expenses. Where is the 'massive misunderstanding'? Happ is comparing players taking a reduced salary (there are no "fixed" expenses there) against a business where there are massive fixed expenses for stadiums, front office personnel, coaches, minor league operations, scouting, etc. All this said, I'm for the players getting a much bigger percentage of the sport's revenues. Screw the billionaire owners. But it doesn't help to have a union representative showing a basic lack of understanding of the difference in finances for individuals vs businesses. What the hell Tim? The biggest expense the owners have is player salaries and those were slashed. Front offices took hits and payrolls were reduced. There is no significant fixed cost in owning a stadium, none of them paid for theirs anyway. Owners enjoyed smaller profits. They didn't take a hit. I'm sure they can find a way to make it look like that for tax purposes, but Happ isn't showing a basic lack of understanding in finances here.
  12. God I wish I knew what half of that meant, it sounds delicious.
  13. Everybody assumes the Bears will beat the Jags and lose a win and in game vs GB in week 17, but what this post presupposes is this game lines up perfectly as the bed [expletive] that eliminates the Bears from contention while they go on to win the last game of the season. 7.5 points is too much
  14. Can "It might still be enough" be our team slogan for 2021? We’ll have to Cub up with something better
  15. Wasn't the story that Foles was on the verge of retirement before coming back a couple years ago? Maybe he wants to retire after losing his job to Mitchell Freaking Trubisky.
  16. Is "run it back" a common phrase for sports teams? All of a sudden I'm seeing it everywhere.
  17. That would certainly be chaos and would probably ensure Nagy and Pace are retained another year, and Mitch is given an incentive laden 'prove it' contract with the QB position not addressed. But I agree that while it still makes more sense for the Bears to lose, at a certain point you have to just suck it up and root for some short term enjoyment. Yeah man, it's tough to admit but sometimes we have to actually root for the teams we enjoy to win the games they are playing. Sorry for your lack of loss
  18. That’s just common courtesy
