  1. Because no one actually wants Jon Lester for 6 years, that's just the cost of doing business. In a fantasy world where you can name your duration, most people would probably pick 4 years. This isn't a fantasy world, so most people were hoping for 5 but understanding of 6. When you go to 7 you're now facing a pretty significant chance that Lester is nearly useless for half his contract. Useless? That's not a very strong likelihood. The phrase was "nearly useless," and it's not like it's unprecedented. Look at CJ Wilson. Wilson didn't have nearly the same sustained level of success as Lester has had. Didn't he go from a reliever to 200 inning starter like overnight? I'm not sure how he compares to Lester.
  2. MLB retweeted Ian Browne ‏@IanMBrowne · 33m33 minutes ago Pablo Sandoval's agent confirmed he will decide by the end of the day where he is going. Agent says he still hasn't made final decision.

  4. mlb itself tweeted out the report that Sandoval signed. I would think that means something.
  5. franchising cutler would have only served the purpose of creating more tension on the team and would have gone against everything they were trying to do this year (which was build on last year's offensive success and win). In retrospect, if you were going to crap the bed you'd want Cutler on the tag so you can get rid of him next year, but that wasn't the goal then.
  6. Knowing meatballs as well as I do, I think the argument is McCown had to operate under Lovie's leash and didn't get Trestman's wide open attack.
  7. Go for it now. Drop back deep in shotgun and thrown up a hail mary. That's 10 seconds.
  8. Chicago accents are awful. I agree, but that wasn't his accent. It was him saying the wrong word. Everybody's talking about my chili here, so I'm not listening.
  9. "Line of the gain"? Is that a new phrase?
  10. Didn't Denver do exactly that last year and it bit them in the ass?
  11. Chicago accents are awful.
  12. special teams penalty? That's unpossible
  13. what about bottom quartile teams? trestman is a big ten coach in an sec world
  14. punt and hope for another turnover. this offense blows
  15. I think you can. Beg to differ you ass touche I thought the first couple looks had him down, but the last one before they made the announcement changed my mind. Good call by you. Well done. You are still way too forgiving to this offense.
  16. actually that last...., well never mind, they did keep the call
  17. I still want Lovie back. Nobody ever accused Kyle of being full of clue.
  18. Wanting change from the Bears is the right opinion. Wanting Lovie and McCown to satisfy that want for change is cluelessness.
  19. defense looks much better against non-mobile QBs who aren't also QBing gods There's like 5 teams in this league the Bears D can look good against. Give me your slow, immobile, somewhat incompetent QBs, and I will give you a halfway decent effort by the Bears defense.
  20. Feels like they put up 1 or 2 of those out west every season.
