    That too.

    I don't get what derwood is fretting about. The Cutler issue was poised to be the biggest story of the offseason, and that was settled. The other contenders for that story included the vets already resigned, whether Peppers will be retained and what will happen with the defensive staff. That stuff has either been settled or will take quite a while to be settled. The draft and free agency are the other things on the agenda that will be in focus. They will each take turns at the forefront of discussion. It's pretty pointless to whine about mock drafts at this point.

    Yeah I'm not worried. It's a little [expletive] that they might to have to be the road team in the 2nd round against St. Louis and potentially in the 3rd round against Anaheim unless they do their annual playoff collapse but overall I'm just happy they are doing this well overall considering the short offseason, potential for cup hangover, olympics distractions, etc. You say "road team" as if they will only play on the road. The president's trophy/Stanley Cup run was nice last year, but 2nd/3rd seeds can just as easily make a run. They'll have plenty of home games and can win on the road.

    Edwards has a about a season and half's worth of excellence under his belt while Soler has less than one season of good under his belt. I can't put Soler above Edwards even with a greater amount of confidence in hitters. Soler's inability to stay on the field offsets the "pitchers are always an injury concern" aspect.

    It's nice to play in the AFC East.

    Please, Kyle would be pleased if the receptionist at his therapists office smiled when he scheduled his next appointment.

    I'm pretty eager to be excited about it being either of the 40%ers I mentioned...moreso the TV deal, since that comes with some major certainty of revenue, I think, but both are pretty big. We're going to get a TV deal eventually. It's going to be for more money than we make now. That just doesn't excite me. There is a very large range of revenue expectations that are possible with a new TV deal, and the timing can also vary quite a bit. If we find out this week they are getting a big influx, that would be a little exciting.

Agree. The stadium is going to happen at some point, and isn't really that interesting. The TV deal is what could theoretically be a game changer.

    Well, obviously, but idk I'd just think that if you cared enough about the Cubs to post here you probably at least googled the hope of the franchise at least once. I could google him 10 times and still not recognize him on the 11th.

    As David said the odds are it's probably TV or rooftop/stadium related. Discussing the "gravity" of the situation suggests to me it's more of a longterm organization issue rather than a player acquisition.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    hahahaha Newscorp buying Tribune would be a pretty big deal.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Isn't that the Mooney article being talked about in Baseball Discussions? The way Tryptamine worded it it was like FOX is trying to acquire WGN itself...which resulted in my reply above. Yeah, Fox acquiring WGN itself is a whole new ballgame when compared to Fox acquiring the current WGN controlled Cubs rights.. Although, if it does acquire WGN, there won't be any negotiating between WGN and Fox for the Cubs rights.

    I had my doubts early on but it's only gotten better and better.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    Daryl Hannah has to be available.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    I don't get how you people could possibly pretend it is not open to interpretation. The topic is selling TV rights, that's a multi-year thing. I've heard the sprint vs a marathon comparison before, but crawling? No.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    I'm not sure why you would interpret it otherwise. Because it's about selling the longterm TV rights and he used the word crawling. I'm not sure how you could not be sure how somebody could interpret it that way.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    That's one way to look at it.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Crawling? Really? You had to say crawling? That scares the [expletive] out of me. He's as frustrated as we are. That whole thing is about how the next TV contract, that starts in 2020 (assuming the current one lasts through 2019 and not just until 2019), is being sold as an opportunity to televise the Cubs first world series champ. That would indicate they are telling their potential partners they don't expect to win until 2020 at least. Obviously, you can come to an agreement before that season, maybe 2-3 years earlier? So after they sign a deal they can try again in 2018? It's like they have a motivation to not win yet.

    that's pretty cool. I'm going to try and get my daughter to like the women's team next month. She's very princessy but on Sunday she said, "Dad, can I watch football with you?" and it was the proudest moment of my life.

    Several years ago, Texas got Davis from Bama. They let Davis go with the coaching change this year and brought in Chris Rumph also from Bama. When this happened Davis bolted USC to go back to Bama. At the same time Texas brought in Tommie Robinson from USC. Not a couple of days for USC. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/24408940/dl-coach-bo-davis-jumps-from-usc-to-alabama-after-one-week-on-the-job I'm still trying to figure out ajax's explanation.

    Some guy, like a random caller with an idea, or some guy, like a new LB coach?

    Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 2m Detroit Lions are hiring Jim Caldwell as their head coach, per a league source.

    I'm pretty sure the dark skinned gentleman wearing the Soler jersey is Soler, but I could be wrong. Could be, but Bob still doesn't know Soler now, does he?
  25. jersey cubs fan
    It's a classic look It would work better if he was more fat and cartoon-y, but instead they made him all svelte and now it just looks like some hairy weirdo not wearing pants. He might be Chicago svelte, but not rest of world svelte.
