    On a recent Simmons podcast, his guest (Cousin Sal Iacono) said the NFL had phased them out, but I have no idea why. It flies in the face of the NFL's mission to run every single day of the sports year. I've read that the Saturday games were not good for ratings so they got phased out. I would guess that NFL games got ratings no matter when they are played, especially when there are 9-11 games being played at noon on Sunday. But they have playoff games in the first 2 rounds on Saturdays. I think the difference is that Saturdays in January are dead zone, while Saturdays in December are littered with shopping trips and holiday parties. I think that a league so determined to sell the lousy Thursday night games could find a way to make more Saturdays work, but the other thing to consider is the whole storyline of making sure all the games matter at the moment they are played. If you had a couple games this Saturday you might make a couple Sunday games irrelevant.

    Not being reported by any Texas sites. Actually I think you meant Texans. No, the Texas sites are still reporting on Saban's imminent hiring.

    With a shoulder injury, shouldn't Briggs been pretty decently conditioned by getting on the bike every day? I would think so at least. He obviously won't be in peak physical condition, but I would expect him to be in on the majority of plays with the occasional breather on a 8-12 play drive. He said he couldn't run and conditioning is in question.

    The defense needs an early turnover, but without bringing it back to the end zone since they will just go right back out there.

    http://www.eagledelphia.com/2013/12/lesean-mccoy-i-want-to-carry-this-game-on-my-back-.html#more McCoy has been very vocal about how easy this defense should be to run on. In the old days you might think the Bears would find a way to rally around the slights and shut him down, but the current days are not old.

    What the hell for? Because they are going to trade beef Wellington

    He said on his show that he had to go through the process...yadda yadda. It was all very optimistic, and he thought he'd play, but officially has to get all the right clearances. I saw it last night and wouldn't say "very optimistic" what *I* heard was pretty cautious.

    Pete Carroll should take that Texas job ASAP before the PEDhawks get hit with the lack of institutional control penalty.

    There are a handful of consistently solid relievers, but most of those become overpaid "closers".

    So we have a "closer" now?

    In all seriousness, what incentive would he have to come here compared to other markets (assuming bidding is similar)? I must've missed the Fukudome mania minus some racist shirts and bandanas. No pressure to win?

    That's how obvious HoFers don't get unanimous votes. I hate that [expletive]. I understand why voters do it, but I think it's stupid. No offense. That's one way they can fail to get unanimous votes, but it can just as easily come from the holier than thou types who only pick 2 or 3 guys and determine they don't want anybody to get a unanimous vote, and/or first ballot. And really, as pointless as HOF debates are, fretting about whether somebody got in unanimously or only with 97% of the vote is an even bigger waste of time. No offense.

    so you knew what it meant, asked what it meant anyway, and then got pissy when somebody pointed out you should have been able to tell what it meant?

    Please definitively interpret it for me then. I am not as smart as you. Why/how wouldn't there be multiple options? If there aren't multiple options, why wouldn't it still be Bears/Packers if it would be Bears/Packers if there were multiple options? Oh my god you are really trying to prove that you were confused by that simple statement?

    What does that mean? Basically, if the Bears don't clinch this week? I don't get your question. It seems pretty clear what that means. I don't get your statement. It seems pretty clear what my question means, especially after I expanded on it with my second question. It's an odd phrasing, at the very least. Why not just say "if the Bears/Packers game has playoff implications?" Because his statement very easy to interpret at first glance.

    What this book presupposes is, maybe you didn't.
