  1. Yeah, the Blackhawks played the part of Varlamov's wife last night. Freaking scumbag. Too soon? But they were the ones taking all the shots.
  2. Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 4m4 minutes ago ESPN report: Jameis Winston's father says he will enter NFL draft. Possible No. 1 overall pick.
  3. What the hell are you talking about raw? They hired Martz and fired martz because of jay? They fired lovie because of jay? They signed Orlando pace because of jay? This is all ridiculous. They fired lovie because they didn't win enough and hired trestman because emery was a good who bought his book. The Bears wanted to go from a defense first team that didn't win enough to an offense centric team that won more, but their head coach can't lead for squat and nobody bought his schtick. The narrative that this has been all about jay does not hold up.
  4. and don't call him Shirley.
  5. i did and im not sure why tinyface
  6. http://gawker.com/turkish-official-carried-by-farmers-possibly-ariana-gra-1677784355 please read comments section
  7. He uses Brian Baldinger's finger as an ear.
  8. Rich Campbell ‏@Rich_Campbell 1m1 minute ago Multiple sources indicate Texans DProP Brian Gaine is on the Bears' schedule for GM interview today. Bears have not confirmed that, though.
  9. Mike Garafolo ‏@MikeGarafolo 25m25 minutes ago Sources tell @alexmarvez and me Dolphins are expected to hand over football operations to Mike Tannenbaum in the near future. Story coming.
  10. That's the argument for trading Cutler now and moving on, I think. If you view the new coach as the next long term direction, and Cutler has his own shelf life, why not start over entirely ASAP? The answer to your question is because quarterbacks don't grow on trees. You could trade him tomorrow and never come close to competent QB play for 10 years, enough to cycle through 2-3 more administrations. Cutler gives you the best chance to be competitive next year and going forward until you find (probably draft and develop) his replacement.
  11. Shanahan may be perceived as best for Cutler, but that may only be a side story. I think Shanahan might be the best option for the Bears to win in the next 4 years. And I don't give a [expletive] about who the coach is going to be 8 years from now. Shanahan's kid will not be the next coach unless they win a hell of a lot over the next few years, and quite frankly, that's quite a nice problem to have. Kyle also already has a job and would not necessarily ever be employed by the Bears.
  12. Mike Tunison ‏@xmasape 38s38 seconds ago Conflicting reports about whether Scot McCloughan is the new 'Skins GM. For his sake, let's hope it's not true.
  13. What is wrong with Mike Shanahan? People say he did nothing without Elway, but most of his time in Denver was without Elway. The Broncos were barely average in the years before he got there. He won 11 games with Brian Griese and 10+ three years in a row with Jake Plummer (including one 13 win season). He got a pro bowl season out of Cutler and Washington's only playoff appearance in a decade. He's not going to be your coach for the next 10 years, but I think you can do a lot worse than him. And we're basically looking for an unknown guy to match what he has done.
  14. He was at his worst when he had pneumonia and got better as he recovered.
  15. As an aside, I believe Toub's early coaching was as a defensive guy.
  16. forgive me in advance, but i'll laugh for days if those are your two coordinators I thought about you after i wrote it. Spurned fans of failed head coaches often laugh at people for hiring them as coordinators. It's kind of a dumb mindset to take.
  17. I keep forgetting about Kubiak's health issues when considering his candidacy, might be why he hasn't taken interviews yet.
  18. http://chicago.suntimes.com/bears-football/7/71/264288/jerry-angelo-chris-ballard-bears-couldnt-get-better-candidate It is the logic that I have heard multiple times before with regards to hiring ST coaches.
  19. If it is Toub, Childress and Spagnuolo are my two bets, based solely on previously coaching together and the idea that a first time head coach can be helped by guys with previous head coaching experience.
  20. No. But they probably did need him to confirm if Ballard was as well regarded as they think he is, and to compare him with other candidates. They needed to see/hear about those other guys before deciding on bringing back a former employee.
  21. Riveras first job was with the Bears and he has a second stint as a coordinator. He's also a meh head coach.
  22. That would be totally uninspiring, although inspiring doesn't mean much. Really curious what a staff would look like. I'd bet Toub would keep a couple guys, and takes a former hc as a coordinator
  23. I think it would work well. Two coaches that counterbalance each other's faults.
