  3. there's a 3-way tie, so somebody else vote and make a difference
  4. The draft is how you get better and free agency doesn't work, exactly because of the cap. The cap prevents most teams from staying good for very long, unless you have the rare coach/QB situation that allows you to get past the cap.
  5. Baltimore and San Fran are picking 6 and 7 this year. The Chicago Bears picked 4th overall in 2005 played in the 2007 SB, were below .500 2 of the next 3 years, played in the conf championship game in 2010 and picked 7th in 2015. Green Bay went to the playoffs 4 straight years then went 4-12 and picked #5 in 2005. They made it back to the conf championship then picked 9th in the draft a year later.
  6. I bet you could accurately predict 6 of the 8 division winners today. I would also bet that if you made a list of 6 teams that could win the super bowl the winner would be on your list. I suggest this is true of most capped leagues. Which illustrates the point that the cap isn't leveling the playing field very much. The NFL is different since teams can get immediate help from the draft. So there's more hope for a team like Miami to make the playoffs but they're still unlikely to win the super bowl. I'm guessing you don't follow the NFL. There's turnover all the time. Teams go from the Super Bowl to top of the draft within a couple years. The only stability is with elite QBs. If you have an elite QB, you can be in the hunt every year. Take New England out of the equation and every year is different. And New England not only has an elite QB, but play in a division with horribly run competition.
  7. How is that certainly the case in the nfl?
  8. Stl is nazi Germany and Pittsburgh is Soviet Union and today is 1941
  9. IIRC, our series was originally supposed to be Sunday and Tuesday, I forget why they moved Opening Day to Monday, but the change is why there was the weird Angels Stadium exhibition on Sunday. I think the series was originally scheduled Tuesday and Wednesday. That is why the exhibition was scheduled on Sunday, because we weren't playing on Monday. When Opening Day for us was moved to Monday the exhibition game stayed causing all the Sunday/Monday drama. That is what I read
  10. omg please tell me these were White Sox fans supplying these quotes to make us look bad. The writer of said piece:
  11. Isn't the opposite of average still average since it falls in the middle of quality scale? I think the opposite of the definition of average is the antonym of average which according to the internet is abnormal.
  12. Turd Ferguson remembers taking a giant dump on the bathroom floor
  13. I had his baseball card in many forms. he led the league in saves in '87 with a sweet ass beard. Saves were a relative novelty and nobody knew anything back then Without actually looking him up, i'm imagining it's Steve Bedrosian, and I think I remember him playing for the Cardinals and Braves, with his CY coming with the Braves as a closer? philly and braves, won it with philly
  14. Editor: O'Connell, get your ass down to Wrigley and find something stupid people are complaining about. O'Connell: I'm on it chief! [tweet] [/tweet]

  16. He's not in the sun and the lights aren't on, how does that happen? lots of white t-shirts in the upper deck, banner ads and other things can block the view quite easily. Also, he may just not have a great eyes.
  17. It's mock draft time viewtopic.php?f=44&t=202&p=15318#p15318
  18. I remember back when I invented the current scheduling set-up I considered that and before Minnesota went outdoors at least it was possible. But, I do not believe teams would agree to start opening day on the road every season, and in some places it's just as likely to be freezing cold on April 7/8/9 as it is on April 1/2/3.
  19. [tweet] [/tweet] they have the right to stream the cbs/nbc feeds of the games, which means the ad revenue still goes to cbs/nbc
  20. We have a Richard, it's the Aldi brand http://images.complex.com/complex/image/upload/c_limit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_680/gazfhhbzbcodseiny64b.jpg
  21. Is this the thread where we talk about how drunk we are getting tonight? I'm drinking bourbon
  22. Speaking of sicknesses affecting opening day starts: [tweet] [/tweet] OPR will be the opening day starter, as we all anticipated he would consistently be back in 2006. clearly a hangover situation
