    For what it's worth, the Blackhawks are signed on with WGN to air (some) games through 2015-2016. I haven't found when their contract with CSN runs through.

    Comcast/NBC is attempting to position itself as a competitor to ESPN, which is the behemoth of all cable networks and especially sports. NBC wouldn't necessarily be "paying up" for Cubs/Hawks without having to, but rather positioning itself to dominate the Chicago sports market for the next generation. The thought is possibly that while they are making money off of CSN, that agreement runs out in a couple years and if they aren't involved, that network could conceivably disappear with the four teams making arrangements with other networks. Comcast doesn't want other networks in Chicago, so, much like a team that locks up a pre-arbitration player to a favorable contract, they could keep the Cubs on board and on their family of networks by making them an offer that is considerably higher than the current deal while still lower than what it would theoretically cost to let them become free agents in 2019.

    It's only 10 years old. And the team that is probably the biggest draw has either been approaching/in bankruptcy, up for sale, going through a sale or going through its reorganization. And then you have the Blackhawks which went from a non-existent television entity when the network began to a huge draw. It's not surprising to me that it hasn't happened yet.

    I can't imagine any of these guys doing it on their own, and the only real partners are Fox, Comcast/NBC and Disney/ABC/ESPN. There's a slight chance that Tribune/WGN would want to do something big I guess, but I doubt it. I can still see Comcast/NBC just splitting itself two ways, with with separate partnerships. If they get $1.00 per subscriber with the current arrangement they could theoretically get $0.75 from a Cubs/Hawks channel and $0.50 from a CWS/Bulls channel. Comcast is certainly used to offering multiple channels within the same market, and I'm sure they can figure out the cost synergies.

    Not sure how the simultaneously thought works here, and I'm unaware of this theory. However, wouldn't the first shot cause agents to draw their weapons and wouldn't the drawing of those weapons increase the probability of an accidental discharge and thus an accidental discharge that hit the person who most drew the attention of everybody surrounding him? It would be astronomically improbably for it to actually happen simultaneously, but the theory would be one shot led to the drawing of arms and thus the accidental shooting by the agent. The odds go way down at that point.

    Looks like Brian Billick will be on this call with freaking Brenneman. Somehow the Bears are 2.5 point favorites and look poised to fall to 2-8 against the spread, with a couple pushes along the way.

    was there a thought he wasn't out for the year?

    I've seen 14 already.

    The only reason the decision is right is because of the odds of success if your play call is decent. If the play call is horrible the odds of success go way down and the decision is not right. This isn't a series of individual events, they all tie in together.

    I think we better hope that they just do a much better job in other areas of the game because those weak spots always seem a lot easier to address in theory than practice. If they start scoring 40 points a game, and halt the occasional opponent's drive, you can live with weird decisions.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    I guess if you want to be dishonest about the situation, sure. Not sure why you would want to though.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Yep, smart fans never expect a win until two years from whatever day it currently is. When you finish building your army of straw men, mind trying to have some conversations with adults? The short of it is you cannot separate the decision to go for it on 4th down and the play-call that went with it. It doesn't matter if going for it is "right" if you are running Michael Bush up the gut again. The horrible decision to run that play negates any positive takeaway from actually going for it. Then you have the entire pre-half segment and a host of other bad decisions and it is painfully obvious that Trestman is handicapped by his glaring head coach decision making disabilities.

    Of all the things to bitch about w/ Trestman this game, that 4th down is way, way low on the list. The playcalling at the goal line is a bigger issue than going for it on 4th down when your defense blows.. right, the fact that Trestman has repeatedly made poor play calls in those situations makes the decision for me. You kick the FG and take the points again ive agreed with every other 4th down decision the Bears made this year until that one No, you don't take the FG there. You never take the FG there. Not until the rooftops promise not to sue

    Nice. Saw them all on Washington street in Hoboken at 7 am couple years ago. It's nothing but dads walking babies as moms sleep. The whole crew was desperate for coffee, presumably hungover. Goose was struggling.

    These penalties reproduce more often than catholics
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Just to clarify, trestman is a great oc and horrible hc decision maker . And the pathetic people who think the cubs had to take a dive are the only ones who disagree.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Hyperbole makes it all better, then, I guess. Pretending trestman hadn't [expletive] the bed means they win right? That's an entirely different discussion. Nope.
