  1. That's a classic Philly area marble mouth way of speaking. They also called Donovan McNabb "Dunuvin"
  2. WTF does "consistent lineups" have to do with anything. He was given a god awful roster. It sucks. The Cubs have lost a lot because they have a horrible roster.
  3. Of all the guys available Baez is the one that least needs the exposure/playing time.
  4. The same type of weirdos that don't use the urinal at the office, but go in the stall.
  5. As likely as the toilets in the women's restroom, which is very likely.
  6. So was Cedric Benson at Texas, or Curtis Enis at Penn State, or Darren McFadden at Arkansas, Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown, etc. But I do agree he needs more than 18 games to be considered a bust. I'm not talking about him being a bust. The question is, is he a special back like Peterson, or just another in a long line of replaceable effective runners. Those guys come and go, should not be drafted early, and should be traded at the drop of a hat by currently bad teams receiving a first round pick.
  7. The first line I saw was Bears -2 but that one is now -1.5. So people might be betting on Pittsburgh not starting off 0-3, which would seem unthinkable to most coming into the season. I don't bet but given how Pitt looks, I'm surprised that the line is going down. Well, it's 2.5 - 3.0 now.
  8. Common sense revocation process. We are applying common sense, and revoking your award. He may then accuse them of being Indian givers.
  9. Because spending money on a competent manager would be madness. If competency is the standard we judge on, then I think Sveum qualifies.
  10. I don't understand why you think I'm judging a player based only on his first 17 games.
  11. I say bring him back and try to get him to sign an extension for less money now that he's got such a bad record that other teams may steer clear. No need to spend money on managers.
  12. I wonder if there is a way for those organizations that gave Reilly all those awards over the years to come back now and take them away from him. I'm not sure if such a process exists or what you would even call it.
  13. It's proven he isn't special. A special dynamic RB would have done more than he did even with a crappy team.
  14. Why, why, why? A) Why would you do this? B) Why would you film it vertically? C) Why would you not focus on the subject you are filming?
  15. In English are you trying to say: This team is still trying and that is a credit to Sveum?
  16. What did he do/say/write? http://www.thenation.com/blog/176260/rick-reilly-and-most-irredeemably-stupid-defense-redskins-name-you-will-ever-read#axzz2fLH7jNJo Well, that's interesting. How in any way did he think positives would come of that? I guess he's getting talked about which is something that hasn't happened for years. I'm sure somewhere in the ESPN executive offices they have a countdown clock to the day his contract expires. He doesn't get the awards he usually does but Reilly gets talked about plenty.
  17. I see very very little chance for him to be special.
  18. I don't think a 3.5 yard/carry running back (or any running back not named Adrian Peterson, tbh) is worth even a mid first rounder. Because stats for the first seventeen games of a career, on a bad team with no passing attack are predictive of the rest of a career? Yeah, I'm going to remain dubious about that. Well, it's more the fact that he's a RB in the first place than what he did in Cleveland.
  19. And for people who care about evaluating a front office, its gives a pretty clear-cut break for the new Cleveland front office to no longer be able to blame the old one, since they have a ton of picks this year. Now they have no excuse to be terrible next season and should be competitive in 2015, otherwise these guys are terrible at their job.
  20. Agreed. And I don't know that this is a good return. They just picked him 3rd overall LAST YEAR. Theyre going to trade a #3 pick for a pick likely in the 20s because the Colts are an 11 win team and playing in a weak conference. The Colts aren't an 11 win team They were last year, which is what I meant. Coming off 11 wins and playing in a weaker conference this year. When he was drafted in 2012 doesn't really matter. Presumably this front office prescribes to the theory that no rb is worth such a high pick, and they know they will suck for many years without a complete roster overhaul.
  21. On the other hand, it could be a complete waste of time.
  22. Again, I find the holier-than-thou, this team being bad doesn't bother me like it bothers you uncivilized freaks talk to be so obnoxious.
  23. Some fans of sports teams don't have positive reactions to their team being among the worst in their league. It tends to bum them out.
  24. The Buffalo is lead blocking for a guy named Bill. I don't get why a lot of the birds and the Bear have random individual pieces of fur or feathers just sticking out to break up otherwise smooth lines. The Bronco also has a Lion's mane and the Bengal looks like a sperm.
  25. I actually don't think it is that simply. It has the entire state of Wisconsin map, a star over the city of Green Bay, the words Green Bay, and Packers, and an unnecessarily interlinking GB steal beam design. There's too much going on there.
