I can definitely understand the appeal of not playing the full period in the regular season. As far as the playoffs, seems you have a really good chance of just continually adding periods on top of eachother as teams match the other and the clock expires. I think you can kind of even keep it simpler than UMFans proposal. "First to 8". No clock, just the play clock. why in the world would you do that?

Actually yeah thats a great idea for the playoffs. I can understand why they couldn't want to play a full OT in the regular season but it shouldn't be an issue to play 10-15 mins in a playoff OT game. Then you'll end up needing 2nd overtimes since teams will play for the tie. I see no reason to do away with sudden death. It's not a problem, never has been, other than something for people to get upset about.

I've hated the reds my entire life. Not really sure why specifically, but they've always been right there with the Cardinals in terms of opposing team I hate. And when I was a kid they weren't even in the Cubs division.

Nah, the Bears have some young talent, and if Pace drafts lime he did last year, the Bears will be looking good. Romo would be a great addition, it's not like his skills have been obviously diminishing. No, but his ability to walk upright has been. It's hard to clearly show diminishing skills when you aren't on the field to prove it.

that's a very weird rule by this definition, the Dallas Cowboys don't have a rivalry with anybody in their division

I feel like Atlanta has claimed the "everything of the South" at one point or another.

he took off for Florida days before the game started

I'm not assuming he will be bad, I'm assuming the team that trades with New England for him will have done it poorly. And if he comes to the Bears I will assume he will be bad. for what reason? history? no faith in coaching staff (in many things) especially when it comes to developing a QB. And when they are eventually replaced the next staff will have to deal with him and that turnover never works.

I mean I guess he could've just called himself evanstonian for fun (the actual guy suing isn't from the area, however) evanstonian was not from the area, and he was looking to collect info on others that went through similar issue, class action style

FWIW, 19/20/21 are tampa, denver, detroit what are they trading up for?
-
I'm not sure the accounting adds up on this one. What do you mean? I combined 2 trades into 1. The first is acquiring pick 20(estimate) then shipping it to NE for Garoppolo. Or are you saying I'm over/undervaluing that pick? I think from a what did you give up and what did you get stand point, you have to list the #3 vs whatever you end up with. And I'm not sure I see how they trade the #3 and end up with Garoppolo, a 2nd rounder in 2017 and 2018 and a 4th rounder in 2017.

best case scenario is a kirk cousins situation where he'll have a pretty decent showing on a mediocre team in need of coaching turnover and the front office will have to make a decision on a huge financial commitment. and they won't have a 2nd round pick in 2017 and maybe 2018 to put on the field with him, so new england will get to do it all over again with another team.

I don't understand that line of thinking. If I were to knowingly break the law and hack into the competitions databases I'm sure as hell not telling my boss, I'm going to pass off their work as my own in order to try to further my career. But in this case passing off that work as your own has little to no use to the hacker. It's not like he's an inventor or trader that was using that information to look brilliant. They were specifically looking at it to see what the Astros thought of players.

others are referring to him as a guy they can shuttle back and forth. Admittedly I only eyeballed his MLB experience and took his DFA as proof he was out of options, but if he does have one left then that's great. brett and bruce miles refer to sending him to AAA while other outlets prior to the deal talked about him as a guy w/o options. presumably they DFA'd him for 40 man reasons, when the Rockies acquired Holland. -

I don't get the sense that Pace needs to have a sense of urgency. I think Bears ownership is loathe to start over again. They want to be more like the Giants and Steelers with stability and the willingness to stick with their guys through tough times. And I bet dollars to donuts they looked at the Cubs giving Theo all the time he needed to turn things around (even though it's a horrible comparison). The Angelo/Lovie years are what this team strives for right now. Pace only needs to show the path forward. If the younger guys look good but the old coach just isn't bringing in results, he will get a chance at a second hire. Matter of opinion, but i think he's feeling the heat due to the 3-13 year. Another similar year and people will start to think Emery was a better option. Maybe another 3-13, sure. But it doesn't take much to get past that hurdle. And I don't think anybody at the team is going to regret letting Emery go.
