A season that the Cubs finish at .500 is going to feel a lot different than a season in which they do what they've been doing of late because .500 is going to feel like contention for a good deal of the season.

Olt walks

I briefly explained to my wife how good he could wind up being while watching his HR last night, and she was genuinely impressed. I immediately regretted my decision.

Honestly, I cannot fathom how anyone could come to these conclusions. You must lead a difficult life. Well the first item is essentially a fact so it can't be THAT unfathomable And as always I'll never understand why having a viewpoint on the cubs that is negative speaks to anything about a persons life. It's called "goony money" for a reason Leave me out of this.

I do not understand what they have accomplished in spite of limitations. Kind of a loaded statement. The organization is unequivocally in a better position right now than it was in 2009. Even with the understanding that its easier to build one with high draft picks. None of what has happened did so in spite of limitations. The only thing they did was stop spending and/or concerning themselves with the present. It's the inherited patience of the customer base for the brand that has allowed them to suffer only miniscule short-term financial consequences, something no other pro sports team could absorb so easily. Had the timeframe been shortened, or had they won more games, of if they found an outsized number of hugely valuable pieces via a lower cost than others, that could be impressive. But they've only improved the system with very high picks they got from sucking so bad for multiple years.

It's the NFL, anybody could be a free agent next year.

The Bears want to keep as much of Cutler's cap hit in the current season in order to maintain the ability to cut him after year 3 without taking a hit. That means not going gung ho in free agency this year, but they can still address needs.

But you missed the "unless you're the Cowboys" part. not to dwell on it too much, but i believe that was after he visited Dallas, so my interpretation was that he was saying the Dallas thing went by the boards, so he won't sign anywhere until after the draft. The point that was made was that Dallas has Rod Marinelli who apparently can get the most out of Melton. So, unless you are the Cowboys, there is no point in signing him now. But the Cowboys signed him so the point is moot and your complaint is invalid.

Yeah, this early in the Emery/Trestman era they might as well not blow it on a desperate attempt to turn the defense around in a hurry. Let Trestman/Cutler keep improving the offense, and give Emery the chance to build a stable defense over time that won't hold back an elite offense from winning. The early returns on this era have been good enough to warrant a little patience.

The Raiders signed a lineman, and have not yet revoked his deal. -

Why is that? We're a long way from Summer. Huh? My theory is, the guy tweeted something to the effect of, "if you aren't the Cowboys you might as well wait until after the draft to sign this guy only if you can't find somebody in the draft." And then he signed the same day, long before post draft time. But since the Cowboys signed him now, the point is moot.

I think that comment was specifically based on tape seen early in '13, pre-injury. So those 2-3 games.
