They gave him market value without a bidding war, Tanaka is completely different. One guy at 13 mil per since they bought the team is not an indication they're going well above teams that have shown they'll spend anything they want. I don't get what you're saying. Obviously they have chosen not to spend a lot of money, but I think the point is they have also shown they do have the ability to spend money when they want to. And we all know they actually do have the money to spend.

Do you think that the Tanaka interest is just for show? Or is it a "FA doesn't want our money" thing on top of a limited payroll? It doesn't matter if its for show or not. I'm sure they want to sign him, but as N&G said, why would he sign here? What would compel him to come here as opposed to a team poised to content with better facilities? Interest is great, but they have to turn that interest into results. It completely matters within the context of the discussion between SSR and TT.... Wait, this is going all over the place. SSR said he fears payroll will remain low for 5 years and that the only thing that would convince him otherwise is if they sign Tanaka. Their level of interest in Tanaka, or his reasons for not picking the Cubs do not matter in this context. The context of the discussion is that the Cubs have to prove they are willing to spend for him to believe they are willing to spend and the only way to do that is to actually spend, not just hint that they have an interest in spending.

I'm not counting on it, just based on how these guys have been operating so far, but the fact is they can easily afford Tanaka, so I am also not discounting their ability to sign him. -
Mora got his sister a track scholarship. What a slimeball. Oh, it wasn't because his dad was just diagnosed with prostate cancer and he wanted to stay closer to home? http://www.maxpreps.com/m/article.aspx?articleid=c33c6764-4a1a-46e2-bfd4-7726b4fae08f Mora gave the dad prostate cancer? That's low.

Probably. But it's mean if it's not. It's like the Devils and 76ers pre-announcing a major announcement this week (they are owned by same group) and then just announcing that they struck a sponsorship deal with a poker website.

He's been on TV for a long time and seems incredibly dull to me.

What does crashing a car when drunk have to do with personality? Everything. That is absurd.

Chris Christie looks awful jovial for such a somber press conference.

By itself no, but every sports movie or show ever made has its religious characters. I would bet that Cutler and Cavallari, Emery and Trestman, Bennett, Marshall and Long would be headliners. Plus whoever gets drafted first and then some combination of veterans holding onto positions on defense plus young guys looking to take their spot. Briggs could be such a guy, but he's been around a long time and hasn't shown much of a personality.

The only thing he tweets are quotes from the bible, sponsor related stuff and the occasional reply to somebody wearing his jersey. Alshon seems to be the same way. Alshon almost exclusively tweets the same thing over and over. "Good morning. God bless everyone". Then he talks about South Carolina football. I never stumbled on him before but just noticed and that is hilarious.

Forgot to add that the QB's wife is already a reality TV veteran.

Trestman is a pretty interesting guy, at least unique among the coaching community. Then you have a very famous QB who is easily cast as a villain and has his every facial expression critiqued regularly. You have the super religious pro bowl RB who has probably been owned in fantasy by just about everybody who has played the game by now. You have a mentally disturbed star WR, an emerging star WR, a crazy TE, Howie Long's son and what is going to be massive turnover on defense. Emery and Trestman alone could make for all sorts of weird clips with their strange speaking styles. Trestman is not what the average viewer expects out of an NFL head coach. You're not going to get any bravado or tough guy stuff from him. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see it. It's not me that needs to be convinced though. I don't think the average viewer is going to be very interested in Trestman and I think that hurts the chances of the Bears being selected. Who cares what viewers expect? If you bother watching this show with regularity, you aren't going to tune out because the coach of the team isn't brash. Trestman is interesting and unique though. And you would have to be bad at making this show if you couldn't get compelling bits out of him.

we all aren't

My answer to that question is yes, it would have been wise to try and do more to make the 2014 roster better.
-
Not to mention they were all voted in unanimously. By a completely different group of people (16 total).

I thought the issue was he wasn't playing at Roma.

He wasn't nearly as good as McGuire.
