    It's not particularly meaningful to include homegrown plus acquired using homegrown. Homegrown requires patience, acquired using homegrown is an aggressive move. And there better not be any older international free agents on that list.

    Great courage and a 5-year contract with no demands from above to field a winning team.

    Refresh my memory on the 30 Rock episode, IMDB, Google, and my memory are drawing a blank. Steve Martin?

    Right, the chasm between Santana wanting 100M and Santana getting 100M is the whole reason to laugh at that attempt in the first place. Why would you laugh at an athlete reaching for the most he can get in an incredibly inflated market? I'd laugh at the idiot who strives low and the teams that can't hang in the market. For the same reason you laugh at anything? I laugh at things that are funny, not business negotiations.

    OF COURSE you hated that episode I thought most people thought it was the weakest. I had the whole thing on my dvr and would randomly click on episodes from time to time, but don't think I've ever rewatched the Martin Short ones. I do remember thinking it was weak, but cannot remember anything specific about it.

    I doubt he's worried about being Wally Pipped so much as trying to prove his toughness (which fans and media have erroneously questioned before) and play for his new contract whever that might be. My point is you have to assume he's not afraid of McCown taking his job, so he's not rushing to get back. His contract will be based on how he plays for the whole season, whether that is 14 starts or 15 it's really not that much of a difference, and it serves him no purpose to rush back and potentially play poorly due to lingering health issues. So, if he says he's healthy enough to play, and the doctors say he's healthy enough to play, and the coaches say he's healthy enough to play, he is healthy enough to play.

    Who [expletive] in your Cheerios? Nobody, it's just idiotic to pretend that guy wasn't a douchebag.

    so they're free game for any fan within arm's length?

    Eh, nobody was hurt. He wasn't being malicious, and he gave the helmet back. Just was a bit of harmless mischief. The lady that threw her beer on Pardy was more problematic, imo. He wasn't being malicious? It took him a few tugs to get the thing off and then he stood there like Mr. Tough Guy. It was textbook drunken douchebag stadium behavior. He wasn't trying to hurt the guy or do any damage. *shrug* he just wanted to steal the helmet that was buckled onto his head.

    That was a bernstein joke I don't get it.

    I know this is probably just talk but Cutler and Trestman both said he was 100% healthy and would have no limitations during the game Sunday, meaning he would be able to scramble and throw the deep ball like normal. We will see how true that is on Sunday. Unless you think Cutler believes he's Wally Pipp right now, you have to think he's as healthy as he could expect to be by midseason. It will be two full weeks.

    I'm going to assume you will at some point in time bust a nut regardless of what Rizzo hits next season, so while that statement may be literally correct, it should be a case of correlation not equaling causation.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    I doubt that, too. Nope, I'm pretty serious. I don't think we're going to be .500 in the next two years. Too far away, too little interest and/or resources in closing the gap quickly. Yeah, not sure why this sounds crazy to people. It's pretty clear they are not going to be .500 in 2014 based on what we're hearing (Shark, Castro traded, no money for Tanaka). And it would take a pretty big offseason and quick development of former prospects at the MLB level to get there in 2015 based on what 2014 looks like at this point. What's crazy is pretending we can call it a success if the reach .500 by 2015, or that fans would be happy with that. That's crazy. It is not crazy that people expect them to keep struggling.

    Also that it was delayed b/c Theo wanted to talk to Lovullo first. Well, the skeptic in me would suggest that is exactly the type of PR messaging you would decide to send out upon announcing the hiring of a guy from an organization those two used to work for, when you missed out on your first and second choices.

    Well, there's the media and general population opinion about the situation and the opinion apparently held by just about everybody in football.

    You can throw those numbers in the trash, then Or you could take them for what they are, measures of efficiency without bias. Extremely flawed measures in a sport that can't be measured quite so easily as something like baseball when it comes to individual performance.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    If the best this team does is reach .500 in 2015 I would not call that a success.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    It was Jack del Rio and he did wear a suit -- it was made by Reebok. Mike Nolan was the one who started the idea.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    And Trestman specifically said it does not look good for this week.

    The NFL is a league for pussies.

    Who happens to be a Philadelphia sports fan. WHAT THE [expletive]. Yeah, he's from Philly. His accent isn't huge, but it's there, so my guess is he's been in Chicago a long time. Whenever it was Bears/Eagles or Cubs/Phillies he'd say something Philly-centric. But he's obviously talking about Chicago sports. Or at least he did, apparently his twitter ended in 2011.
