    Not sure why we should assume health improves during the season while they are still playing. Because Marshall and Jeffery were both improved on Monday? Marshall got re-injured. Maybe the MNF injury doesn't happen if he didn't already have a bad ankle, but Jeffery went from out 2nd half week 1, to not being able to stretch it out and go deep week 2, to having no visible limitations going deep or elevating in week 3, to not on the injury report to start week 4. Marshall was better physically in SF than he was to end Week 1. He was better physically to start Week 3 than he was to start Week 2. If your argument is the risk of re-injury, it's not really going to change at any point without extended rest. That is some really odd thinking. Marshall has been hurt in every game and was hurt again on Monday. He would have been unavailable to practice today. Getting hurt early in the season is bad and assuming they will improve throughout the season, while still playing, is silly.

    Yet he gets to date Olivia Munn. Front. He's gay as sandals. I'll amend... Yet he gets to pretend to date Olivia Munn. Well, you say "gets to", but if that is true then it would be more like "feels forced to", and that's no good. And it's not like the world's biggest douches haven't been tied to beautiful celebrities before.

    I admit...I'd probably enjoy the quotes if they were from Jay. But Rodgers says them and it just makes me want to punch him. when reading them I'm not sure what you would get so worked up about

    I don't think MLB suffers from a lack of fan exposure to the Yankees and Red Sox. No, they don't. But there's a large nationwide fan base for more than those two teams, which MLB could capitalize on with more nationwide televised games. Logistically it would be a nightmare, filling the left over time slots, etc. I just wondered if it's the next step, to actually improve ratings (without addressing the elephant in the room- making the game more suited to short attention span viewers who demand rapid recurring action). I think the point with MLB is no, there isn't a large nationwide fan base for multiple teams. They have lots of nationally televised games and people don't watch them. And, unlike NFL, people do not watch games involving teams other than their own. A Steelers fan is more likely to watch Packers vs the Rams than a Pirates fan watching Brewers vs Cardinals. Nationally televised baseball is already widely available on a regular basis. Cubs fans watch Cubs games. Those that do not live in Chicago have plenty of options to see Cubs games.

    I think part of the playoff odds things are based on how well the team has played (not just record) as well as remaining schedule. So that makes sense to me.

    You'd think mlb security would have a stricter vetting process for team pilots

    Javy at 235 lbs? That's kind of hard to believe.

    According to ESPN, the Pirates clinched a spot in the playoffs but still only have a 99.9% chance of making the playoffs.

    Hell yeah Keith.

    I think they used the bribe of hosting an all star game in 2016 during the course of negotiating for the Wrigley renovation. It was tied into the Cubs moving into Weegham (Wrigley) in 1916. 2016 is supposed to be an AL park, though. So who knows.

    As soon as next season? Almost certainly no. By 2020 or so? Not out of the question. I'd bet it's out of the question. There is a lot of money tied up in cable deals that depend on being the exclusive in-market homes for local teams. How big of a check does MLB want to cut to each of these RSNs? I guess I don't understand why MLB wouldn't want it to be viewable in the "local" area if you're already able to see it on cable. Just have another tier it runs on and show all the commercials like they do on TV and cable gets their cut from having additional eyeballs watching. Cables co's assume they will lose subscribers if those people have the choice to not subscribe to cable. They want to use live sports channels as a way to keep you locked into play $0.35 for the food network and $0.55 for E! etc. etc. It used to be about fooling random shmoes who don't care about sports to still have to pay for those channels by keeping them on regular tiers, but it is also becoming about forcing fans of local sports team to pay $ for all the channels they don't care about.

    I want it to happen just to see that fight. I'd guess a new team would have to pay them off to the tune of $1B combined.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    it will be interesting once this team starts facing competent quarterbacks.

    Population does matter. Florida is a lost cause for just about anything and that is besides the point. But population absolutely matters.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Miami is the 8th largest metro area in the country. Population does not equal ticket sales. Lack of population, and financial strength, can very easily equal lack of ticket sales.

    I didn't notice him very much at all. I did not either.

    It might have changed. I think I might have been looking at the line before yesterday's game. Same site that said Bears -1 now says GB -1, the over/under also dropped from 51 to 49.
