  1. So, he'd rather not play? Frey is better anyway. Quite possibly. A 30-something player on his third team could easily get sick of the catch and release treatment and not see value in coming back again for the minimum only to risk getting cut in a week or three.
  2. Bryan Cranston's one man play about baseball http://uproxx.com/sports/2014/09/bryan-cranstons-one-man-baseball-play-inspired-by-looney-tunes-is-incredible/
  3. Chicago Cubs ‏@Cubs · 1m #Cubs today agreed with @IowaCubs on a two-year Player Development Contract extension through 2018 season (off agreement through 2016).
  4. does it have something to do with the "need" of a veteran presence in the clubhouse?
  5. update 9/22 8:35 ET At NY Jets -2.5 Chicago 45.5
  6. And now they aren't gonna use it at all... http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/smackblog/chi-cbs-thursday-night-football-music-rihanna-20140916-story.html "Not gonna use it" makes it sound like they made the decision on their own.
  7. except for a glaring elephant in the room Dammit, I'm going to feel dumb for asking this...what elephant is that? vogelbach
  8. Time to get ready to experience Spirit Airlines?
  9. If Bryant's face starts to shrink I will be concerned.
  10. Two great tastes that taste great together. Hey you got your chocolate in my peanut butter.
  11. you are focusing too closely on the open mouth. Look at the eyes and nose (you might need a magnifying glass).
  12. plus a good chunk of yardage came on penalties.
  13. I know you aren't alone but I cannot understand this thought process. It seems to me that the complaint centers around the fact he doesn't play the smooth pr savvy game with the media that guys like Drew Brees or Peyton Manning might. He doesn't care to put on a show there. I don't see how that bothers anybody but the beat guys looking for stories that write themselves. I think we should embrace guys who don't play the PR game, whether they are on our team or not.
  14. wussification amirite?
  15. The last 1.5 quarters. Don't forget SF's 9 minute FG drive.
  16. Not really. I wouldn't expect him back even though he seems to really want to come back for some reason. We know the reason! Batting in that lineup is awesome for all of us. plus playing baseball is fun
  17. Retweeted by Drew Magary Andy Behrens ‏@andybehrens · 1h Can confirm this Vikings press conference was exactly the disaster everyone is describing.
  18. Fuller did more shouldering than they did. Sure, so his rank makes sense. Cutler had 4 TD passes and 0 INTs. I'm just going to think more of him than PFF does in that case. I hate myself for attempting to do this but if you compare it to baseball think of it like Cutler having 4 HR over 10 games but a really low AVG and OBP with lots of strikeouts as well. He had "clutch" plays but his overall numbers were not that impressive outside the HR that were admittedly awesome.
  19. you got a mouse in your pocket? I don't get it. It is a phrase responding to your use of "we".
  20. Cutler's makes sense just fine. It's not like he was slinging the ball around and creating points all game. He picked it up in the second half, completed some shorter to midrange throws and was dealt a couple of short fields and made the most of it. You shouldn't pay much attention to a guy like Perry who is in for 4-5 plays total. Cutler and Marshall loaded the team up on their shoulders and won that game from 17 points down. If that only gets him a .8, then I'm not going to put a whole lot into that system. Fuller did more shouldering than they did.
  21. you got a mouse in your pocket?
  22. I confused his skinny ass for Shea on a couple plays and was sarcastically commenting on his play quite a bit. I'm glad I'm not the only one that did this. Especially on the play where Kaepernick first got by Vereen and then danced by Allen. I thought for sure that was Shea. After the replay I thought, "huh, I didn't know that both Allen and She made the same diving miss on that play." But that may have been booze related. It was a long and very wet day.
  23. jw which ones you're taking issue with the only one that seemed off to me based on the eye test was allen but they probably know better than me Cutler, Bennett (maybe blocking issues?), and Allen. Had issues with last week too, but I'm not going back to look a that. Perry is a complete dog. How is he only -.01? Also don't understand the Cutler grade. Or Bennett. There are probably others but generally I'm in agreement with Banedon. I don't understand the grading system they are using, and I don't understand why anyone should prefer it over any other system. It feels completely -- or significantly -- arbitrary. Well, for one, it's kind of the only actual system. That is unless you count beat writers reiterating quotes from the coaches and players about who played well in the game.
  24. huh, I cant picture that nice post shea. ^^^^^^^^^ It was like that
  25. It's often a gut response to someone's career ending, but Peanut strikes me as the kind of player who could make the jump to coaching pretty effectively. I hope he keeps the red eye look as a coach.
