    I make the chili like I normally would, then sear the pork and throw it in for several hours. I usually make it in the morning on a Sunday and it cooks throughout the first games and is ready for around halftime of the second games. My typical recipe is very similar to what Drew Magary once wrote about and reposts every year. But I have more beans and more types of beans. Kidney, white, black you name it. The can of corn and chicken broth were both valuable additions I hadn't considered before reading his recipe. http://deadspin.com/5882376/the-drew-magary-super-bowl-chili-recipe

    I like to make it with ground beef (or turkey if you want) but then add something like a seared pork shoulder for an almost pulled pork aspect to it.

    Yea , I mean, one year isnt going to ruin a guy if thats how it goes down. Question is when you draft a guy. Fox obviously has a little over half the season the right the ship, but he'd have to finish at least .500 from here on out to make any case to fans right? One year could easily ruin a qb.

    I agree with everything, chili without beans is for the weak, just like football w/o touchdowns.

    bummer

    This video perfectly captures why I have no interest in going to Bears/NFL games anymore. Two dopes getting into a fist fight over different colored shirts. I mean, that happens at every sporting event at some point but it's incredibly easy to go to an opposing team's stadium with your team's clothing and avoid anything remotely close to a fight. Those were just two idiots that went into the day with a desire to fight. If you aren't like that, that won't happen. It's also not a "anymore" type situation, since stupid drunk fans fighting is a tale as old as time.

    my daughter was annoyed at me for watching a game on the tv while also looking at my phone. I'm going to have to stop doing that until she's asleep.

    Short week to recover from a classic John Fox statement game: punt inside opponents side of field, let them drive down field, hold tight to a 2 score lead and keep timeouts in your pocket as you refuse to try to score more and eventually lose Last year's team lost a lot of games where they actually looked halfway decent. That fooled some people into thinking this team had a chance to win a lot of games this year but their weaknesses have been fully exposed, from top to bottom. The Bears are in full "it's best to lose to increase their draft position" mode but the GM is 0-2 with first round picks and we are almost certain to need a coaching staff turnover before this team starts winning again (if ever). The big thing to keep an eye on, besides if Cutler returns, is this game coincides with game 5 of NLCS and the next one falls between a theoretical game 5 and 6 of the World Series. Also Bears are 9 point underdogs against a team that may be on the outside looking in come playoff time.

    Speaking of old Theriot, he is a sidekick on a local sports radio show here. Complete redneck doofus. This week he's doing shows in full Ryan Theriot Cubs uniform, spikes and everything. forget that BS, he lost his Cubs privileges years ago

    sorry about the loss I was at a wedding and then driving up for last few innings. My fault.

    Hoyer's not a great playmaker, but i dont know what else you can ask for. He's been good. Uhhhhhhhh, no peg

    Sometimes OMC rubs people the wrong way with his lawyerly affection for history, the confederacy and libertarianism. But then he does something like this and TOTALLY REDEEMS HIMSELF!!!

    so if dodgers lose game 1, Kershaw in game 2, if they win game 1, do they hold him back to game 3?
  17. jersey cubs fan
    why are people expressing surprise that kershaw was looking at that game as a side session? that was obviously the strategy. it's a reckless and dumb strategy but, still obvious.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    I think it speaks to the idea of just how inefficient the Cubs old ways were. They were always looking for the athlete/upside guy with little organizational thought to the true baseball value of the full roster. If one guy hit they'd pat themselves on their back and then take 10 more guys that failed.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Your point stands, although I'm not sure I'd say Bochy is the one that made them contenders.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    good, now vasgersian can go back in my baseball video game

    because, hey, look at me! Which was cool when he was just being a goof and wanted to be a T-Rex or whatever. He increasingly just had an axe to grind or something. he clearly wants to work in media and it looks like he's taking his cue from the be controversial and yell stuff style. It also has about a zero percent chance of backfiring since he's on the patriots and the bears are on the bears and there's no way they show up him.

    And you're "educated" guess still isn't enough reason to not consider a trade. It would be managerial malpractice to preemptively refuse a conversation. That's the point.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    that beer brand was going out of business before that happened.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    same reason i didn't want to trade baez last offseason the market isn't always right. soler's value is at a low point and he has upside. not to mention the thing most are talking about trading him for, young pitching, is still very overvalued. you have no idea what the market is
  25. jersey cubs fan
    I could spin it the other way too, You could but you'd be completely off base and would sound silly. There is a trade him if you can get something argument and a no we can't trade him because he's valuable but won't get us anything argument. The rational one is to consider a trade if you can find something. Preemptively refusing to trade him because you assume you can't get anything is just weird. This isn't like some stock where you choose to sell at the current price and voila he's gone and you're locked in at that price. Nobody is pushing for them to get rid of soler at all costs. Trading Soler is an option the Cubs have when reconfiguring their roster this winter and it's an option they should consider. End of story.
